Caucasian Knot | A single picket in defense of Syrian Circassians takes place near the Foreign Ministry building in Moscow

Caucasian Knot | In Moscow, a solo picket in defense of Syrian Circassians takes place near the Foreign Ministry building

09 November 2012, 19:00

THIS MESSAGE (MATERIAL) IS CREATED AND/OR DISTRIBUTED BY A FOREIGN MASS MEDIA PERFORMING THE FUNCTIONS OF A FOREIGN AGENT AND/OR A RUSSIAN LEGAL OFFICE A PERSON PERFORMING THE FUNCTIONS OF A FOREIGN AGENT.

Ali Kunashev holds a solo picket in front of the building of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanding to stop the killing of Circassians in Syria. The action began at 15.00 and will continue until dark.

Kunashev stands with a banner that reads: “Stop the killing of Circassians in Syria” in Russian and English. “In this way I decided to express my position regarding the fact that peaceful Circassians are dying in Syria,” the participant of the action explained to the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent. “I have been standing here alone since 15.00. It is raining. I have an umbrella in one hand, poster”.

Ali Kunashev, a programmer-developer, had previously expressed thoughts that it was necessary to raise his voice in defense of the Syrian Circassians, and the action of Tamerlan Urusov prompted the young man to repeat it.

“Ministry of Foreign Affairs employees came out to me, recorded my picket, recorded my data,” says the picketer. I’m not going to leave, they began to threaten with arrest for 15 days. Fortunately for me, at that moment patrol police officers approached me and asked about what was happening here. Their appearance saved me from the annoying society of Foreign Ministry employees.”

During a conversation with the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent, a passer-by approached the picketer and asked: “Who and why are killing the Circassians of Syria?” Kunashev said that in the territory of the Circassian villages located in Syria, government troops are fighting with the rebels, as a result of which civilians are dying. And he decided to “express his protest” with his action.

A passer-by recommended the picketer to go to the subway, where more people would learn about his action.

The “Caucasian Knot” has no comments from representatives of the Russian Foreign Ministry regarding the picket.

445 years ago the army of the Crimean Khan Devlet I Giray burned Moscow

445 years ago, on June 3, 1571, the army of the Crimean Khan Devlet I Giray burned Moscow. What was the mistake of Ivan the Terrible, what fate awaited the captured Tatars, and who could be the traitor Kudeyar Tishenkov, says the science department of Gazeta.Ru.

In 1502, a common border arose between the Crimean Khanate and the Russian state – since that time, the Crimean Tatars began their numerous campaigns on the lands of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. After 31 years, Ivan IV came to the throne, who from childhood dreamed of defeating the insatiable Turkic people, headed at that time by Sahib I Gerai, the uncle of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and the founder of the “city of five centuries” Bakhchisarai.

In 1551, after the assassination of Sahib I Gerai, his nephew Devlet I Gerai, known for his passion for military campaigns, became Khan of Crimea.

The newly minted Khan undertook his first campaign against the Russian kingdom already in 1552. Devlet decided to conquer Tula and stop the capture of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible. The Crimean Khan failed – his horde was completely defeated by the Russian troops, who soon took Kazan and thus took possession of the entire Middle Volga region. With the captured Crimean Tatars, the victors acted as follows: they were brought to Ivan the Terrible, and then, by order of the Tsar of All Rus’, they were thrown alive into the water.

Kudeyar-traitor

The Crimean Khan, who had to shamefully flee, promised to take revenge on the Russian state and in the next decade made continuous campaigns against Ryazan, Bolkhov, Astrakhan, Mtsensk. Sometimes the Tatars managed to burn the Russian territories and capture the soldiers of Ivan the Terrible, but this seemed to Devlet not enough: the leader of the Tatars dreamed that the Russian state would lose its independence, and the lands of Ivan the Terrible would be divided among the Crimean Murzas.

In 1571, the Crimean Khan, having enlisted the support of the Ottoman Empire, as well as the Commonwealth formed two years earlier, gathered an army of many thousands and undertook his famous campaign against Moscow lands.

The Novgorod chronicle says that the number of the Tatar army reached 120 thousand people, however, according to modern historians, these data are greatly exaggerated.

There is a legend, according to which the traitor Kudeyar Tishenkov came to the aid of the Crimean Khan, showing the Tatars a secret passage to Moscow – the fords across the Oka. According to one version, Kudeyar was actually the brother of Ivan the Terrible, who secretly hated a close relative. According to another version, Kudeyar was a guardsman and served the Tsar of All Rus’.

“… but he wouldn’t be afraid of the Tatar forces”

The Tatars attacked the Russian state at a very “inconvenient” time for it: the Livonian War was just going on – a military conflict started by Ivan the Terrible for the sake of access to the Baltic Sea.

Accordingly, the main part of the troops was engaged in this war – according to various sources, Moscow was guarded by only 6 thousand warriors.

The campaign of the Crimean Tatars turned out to be a complete surprise for Ivan the Terrible: the leader of the Russian state complained that none of the zemstvo governors had warned him about the movements of the Crimean Khan. “Seven governors went ahead of me with many people, and they didn’t let me know about the Tatar army … but at least a thousand of my people were lost, and they would have brought me two Tatars, and I would have considered it a great deal, but the Tatar forces would not frightened, ”Ivan the Terrible was indignant. The king decided to leave Moscow and leave the army to resist the Tatars. The head of state fled to Rostov.

“Countless people burned down”

Approaching Moscow, Devlet did not storm and besiege the city, but only set fire to the unprotected suburbs. “On a clear day, with a strong wind at three o’clock, a fire destroyed the dry mass of wooden buildings, only the Kremlin survived; according to foreign news, up to 800 thousand troops and people died; admitting an exaggeration in the absence of a correct calculation, let us recall, however, that many people from the surrounding area fled to Moscow to bring news of the Tatars, that during the fire there was nowhere to run: the Tatars were in the field, they were not allowed into the Kremlin; most of all, they say, those who wanted to go through the gates farthest from the enemy died: here, having gathered in a huge crowd and interrupting each other’s way, they were so embarrassed at the gates and the streets adjacent to them that they walked in three rows over the heads of each at a friend’s, the upper ones crushed the lower ones, – wrote the historian Sergei Solovyov. – According to Russian news, countless people were burned; the metropolitan with the clergy sat in the cathedral church of the Assumption; the first boyar, Prince Ivan Dmitrievich Belsky, suffocated in his yard in a stone cellar, who will reread other princes, princesses, boyars and all sorts of people?

The Moskva River did not carry the dead: people were purposely sent to lower the corpses down the river; only those who had friends were buried.

“False Dmitry acted windily and recklessly”

On May 27, 1606, 410 years ago, an uprising against the Poles and the murder of False Dmitry I took place.

The fire prevented the Tatars from plundering in the suburbs; Khan did not dare to besiege the Kremlin and left with many prisoners – according to some reports, up to 150 thousand – having heard about the approach of a large Russian army.

“Our desire is Kazan and Astrakhan”

When Ivan the Terrible was returning to Moscow, in the village of Bratovshchina, on the Trinity road, they introduced him to the messengers of Devlet, who presented the tsar with such a letter from the khan: “I burn and waste everything because of Kazan and Astrakhan, and I apply the wealth of the whole world to dust, hoping for the majesty of God. I came to you, I burned your city, I wanted your crown and head; but you didn’t come and didn’t stand against us, and you still boast that I’m the sovereign of Moscow!

If you had shame and dignity, then you would come against us and stand.

If you want to be with us spiritual thought in friendship, then give away our yurts – Astrakhan and Kazan; and if you want to give us all-world wealth with treasury and money, it is unnecessary; our desire is Kazan and Astrakhan, and I have seen and recognized the states of your road.

Ivan the Terrible immediately made up an answer: “You write about the war in a letter, and if I start writing about the same, then we will not come to a good deed. If you are angry at your refusal to Kazan and Astrakhan, then we want to cede Astrakhan to you, only now this business cannot be soon: for it we must have your ambassadors, and it is impossible to make such a great cause messengers; Until then, you would have granted, given terms and did not fight our land.

“The terrible results of the Moscow fire were the result not only of the victory of the Crimean Khan and the military weakness of the oprichnina,” wrote Soviet historian Vladimir Kobrin. – Tsar Ivan was undoubtedly guilty of the fact that Moscow was poorly fortified. In fact, the city occupied an area approximately within the current Garden Ring, and only the Kremlin and the so-called Veliky Posad adjacent to it were protected by fortress walls.

If Moscow were surrounded entirely or at least in most of its part by a stone wall, there could not have been a fire.

However, over the more than three decades that have passed since the construction of Kitay-gorod, the construction of Moscow fortifications has not advanced a single step. Was it possible to build new stone walls? Undoubtedly.
