From a letter of the German Emperor Wilhelm II to the Russian Tsar. “I followed every movement of the squadron of Admiral Rozhdestvensky. It was a big bet on your part, honorably lost. He (Rozhdestvensky) did everything in his power to fulfill your desires, but providence judged otherwise, and he bravely met defeat, remaining faithful to his master to the end. I deeply sympathize with him and you. From a purely military-strategic point of view, defeat ... takes away all hope that happiness will turn in your direction; the Japanese can now freely transfer to Manchuria any number of reserves, fresh troops, military supplies, etc. for the siege of Vladivostok, which will hardly be able to resist for a long time without the support of the fleet. At least 3 or 4 fresh army corps are needed to restore the [land] army to its former fighting strength, but even under this condition it would be difficult to predict what the result will be and whether a new major battle will be more successful than the previous ones. Of course, it is formally possible even under such unfavorable circumstances to continue the war for some time, but we must not lose sight of the human side of the matter. Your country sent thousands of its sons to the front, where they died or fell ill and remained crippled for life. As I wrote to you in my last letter of February 6th, the war is very unpopular, and the people see their sons and fathers leave their homes against their will to go fight for a cause they ... do not sympathize with.

^ From the work of the modern historian E.V. Anisimov.

“The fate of Catherine proved that the human will, desire can become no less real and powerful factor in history than dozens of multi-gun ships and thousands of soldiers. Empress Catherine did create fame for herself, which became her powerful weapon, like that warship that was called "Catherine's Glory" ...

The French diplomat Corberon wrote in his report that the fame that the empress created for herself, her decisive character, her abilities and luck replace her skillful statesmen and experienced generals.

... The Empress entered the history of Russia as an outstanding statesman, and the era of her reign became a time of grandiose reforms and the publication of the most important legislative acts ...

Before her were the real goals of strengthening the autocracy, carrying out the necessary military, administrative and estate reforms. It implemented them in a unified way, with one general idea - to maximally contribute to the development and improvement of that "regular" state, the foundations of which were laid by Peter the Great.

... Catherine's legislative acts outlived her for a long time and, together with the basic laws of Peter the Great, became the basis of Russian statehood for many decades. Actually, the ambitious queen-legislator probably dreamed of such a conclusion of the historian.

Pushkin, in this century "Russia entered Europe like a ship launched from the stocks - with the sound of an ax and the thunder of cannons."

At the beginning of the century, St. Petersburg was founded, and in the middle of it, Moscow University was founded. In this century, Russia has become a European power, firmly taking its place in the alliance of other states and loudly declaring itself as a great and powerful country.

^ Part C

1. From the speech of the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR.

“It is known that over the past few months such concepts as “aggression”, “aggressor” have received a new concrete content, acquired a new meaning. ... Now, if we talk about the great powers of Europe, Germany is in the position of a state striving for a speedy end to the war and for peace, while England and France, who yesterday opposed aggression, stand for the continuation of the war and against the conclusion of peace. The roles, as you can see, are changing.<...>

Lately the ruling circles of England and France have been trying to portray themselves as fighters for the democratic rights of the peoples against Hitlerism, and the British government has declared that for it the aim of the war against Germany is nothing more and nothing less than "the destruction of Hitlerism."<...>

But this kind of war has no justification for itself. The ideology of Hitlerism, like any other ideological system, can be recognized or denied, this is a matter of political views. But any person will understand that ideology cannot be destroyed by force, it is impossible to end it with war.

The real reason for the Anglo-French war against Germany is not that England and France allegedly swore to restore the former Poland, and, of course, not that they decided to take it upon themselves to defend the struggle for democracy. The ruling circles of England and France have, of course, other, more real motives for the war against Germany. These motives belong ... to the sphere of their purely material interests, as powerful colonial powers ... Fears for the loss of world domination dictate the policy of inciting war against Germany to the ruling circles of England and France. Thus, the imperialist nature of this war is obvious.”
