When reading historical novels, monographs and articles, you must have experienced deja vu - so described events are consonant with what happened in other eras, with a difference of tens or hundreds of years, and sometimes amazingly resemble the events taking place here and now.
Historian Konstantin Gayvoronsky finds parallels both within the framework of the centuries -old history of our country and between long -standing events in different countries and recent in Russia. For example, you will see how the situation with the accession of Schleswig and Holstein to Prussia resembles the Crimean events of 2014.
The history of Russia suggests itself at such a deals, often repeating both in separate events and on a global scale: there were two domestic wars in it - 1812 and 1941-1945, and two very similar modernization jerks - Petrovsky and Stalinsky, And two disasters associated with the fall of empires - Romanov and Soviet.
Of course, there are no absolute analogies, there is no one hundred percent coincidence in history. Nevertheless, such parallels allow you to better understand the internal logic of Russian historical achievements, to clearly see the alternative development paths that exist once, to realize why we live in such realities now, and think about what awaits us in the future
