Thread: Russian Faction - discussion thread

    Default Russian Faction - discussion thread

    from wikipedia:

    Muscovite control of the nascent nation continued after the Polish intervention under the subsequent Romanov dynasty, beginning with Tsar Michael Romanov in 1613. Peter the Great (ruled in) defeated Sweden in the Great Northern War, forcing it to cede Ingria, Estland, and Livland (the two latter now being Estonia and northern Latvia). It was in Ingria that he founded a new capital, Saint Petersburg. Peter was largely responsible through his reforms for bringing Western European culture to Russia. After his reforms, Russia emerged as a major European power. Catherine the Great, ruling from 1762 to 1796, continued the Petrine efforts at establishing Russia as one of the great powers of Europe. Examples of its eighteenth-century European involvement include the War of Polish Succession and the Seven Years' War. In the wake of the Partitions of Poland, Russia had acquired significant territories in the west. As a result of the victorious Russian-Turkish wars, Russia's borders expanded to the Black Sea and Russia set its goal on the protection of Balkan Christians against a Turkish yoke. In 1783, Russia and the Georgian Kingdom (which was almost totally devastated by Persian and Turkish invasions) signed the treaty of Georgievsk according to which Georgia received the protection of Russia.

    Peter the Great really deserved his title. He brought Russia up to par with the best of the European nations and made them into a world power. His Russia lasted to the Bolshevik Revolution, where it was recast and continued as a world power right up to almost 20 years ago.

    Now that's an accomplishment.

    Lol let's just leave it at that.

    I personally don't really like Putin, but this really isn't the place to argue this (the right place being the Political Mudpit)

    Well, he's "only" becoming prime minister, but the guy that's becoming president is one of Putin's followers, so I doubt we've seen the end of him.

    Fidel, though, he's out of the game pretty much. We'll have to see what Raul Castro's like, I suppose, but I doubt he'll miraculously change to democracy...
