In the long history of various countries, there will always be a lot of history with a little humor. In fact, this is nothing, at least in the eyes of people at the time, but the times are different and we think it is incredible. Can you imagine Peter the Great of Tsarist Russia working as a plasterer and repairing houses?
1. We all know that Peter the Great was a very famous emperor of Tsarist Russia, and during his reign he actively learned from the West, opening factories, opening new schools, and so on. During his reign, he also did many incredible things. On a trip to London, England, to see the scene of the British Parliament meeting, the unusual Peter the Great did not enter the conference room, but climbed up to the roof and watched the scene in the British Parliament from a distance. On another private visit, when he passed by a house, he heard others scolding him, accusing him of not doing anything, but letting others do it. So Peter the Great got angry and climbed straight up to the roof to do a day's work as a mason.
2. Now it seems as if the former Soviet Union and NATO were inseparable, but what you may not know is that the Soviet Union also applied to join NATO, but these countries in Europe and the United States did not play with the Soviet Union. In 1954, the Soviet Union applied to join NATO in order to reduce the antagonism in Europe. The application was rejected, so a year later the Soviet Union established the Warsaw Pact.
3. In the pre-Tsarist period, it was believed that the real capital of Tsarist Russia was not St. Petersburg or Moscow, but Constantinople. Because the Russians believed that they were the heirs of the Eastern Roman Empire, they should restore their former territory and set their capital in Constantinople. Among so many generations of tsars, the one who most supported this idea and wanted to implement it was Catherine the Great, the only female emperor in Russian history, equivalent to Wu Zetian in China.
4. Catherine the Great, who ruled Tsarist Russia for decades, was actually German, and his father was a small general with a small fief in Germany. Later, she was chosen as the crown princess of Tsarist Crown Prince Peter, peter the successor peter III. However, the relationship between the two is not good, and Peter confessed this to Catherine as soon as she arrived, which is why Catherine understands that everything is on her own.
