The Best Tech Deck Game

And again, Rugen Rügen

At one time I was too lazy to make a detailed photo report on the visit to the island of Ruegen, so I want to rectify that omission. Moreover, have long been in those fabulous places. Let it be a reminder ...



«Gate of Rügen" is a small town Stralsund, which was once on Pomorski called boom. If not land on the island from the ship go to the island by car, then pass it will not succeed. Yes and no reason - very cute and lovely town, which is nice to see. From Stralsund to Rugen cable-stayed bridge has a length of about 3 km. One of the parts of divorces to pass through the Strait of ships. On the bridge also laid railroad providing service between the mainland and the island.

So, Willkommen auf der Insel Rügen ...






Weather on the island may change unexpectedly. However, this only adds to the landscape of some special charm.



So we met the famous castle LITC (Lietzow), situated close to Bergen.



But we do not stay and pursue further in the direction of Sassnitz (Sassnitz). This is a small town in north-eastern part of Rügen on the peninsula Jasmund. The population of slightly more than ten thousand inhabitants.



There is also a National Jasmund park, covering an area of 3,000 hectares.



immediately affects the peace and quiet majesty of nature. One can hardly find a more suitable place for walking and reflection.





And then open the famous white cliffs. It's about them, wrote his lines Franz Plep: "The Cretaceous rocks are in England and Denmark. But such enigmatic, as on Rügen, there is nowhere else in the world. "







Look down completely breathtaking ...





at the edge of the surf. For the Germans in early September, has chilly swim (water temperature 17 ° C, and temperatures not much above), but we took advantage of this opportunity.



But at the same time admire seascapes.



and modern Hanseatic ships;)

Do Platypus Have Eyes

Again (continued)

Beach Rügen indented bays and coves, which are issued to powerful rock. One of the main attractions of the island is the rock of the royal throne (Königsstuhl), which rises 118 meters above sea level.




But it's time to say goodbye to the National Park Jasmund to go further. We go to the car on the same magic forest.



Now we proceed to Cape Arkona, located at the northernmost tip of the island of Ruegen (on the peninsula Witt). Arkona is left up to 8 kilometers.







Finally, we have in place.



car had to leave in a small village, and farther to walk. From the parking up to the Cape somewhere around kilometers.





Lovely cottage, where you can eat, drink beer or intoxicating honey.



A for the field are the ruins of the ancient city ramparts, which once housed the temple Svyatovita. Even now, they are more than 5 meters in height. You can imagine how the city was in its heyday. Describe it chronicler Saxo Grammaticus, who witnessed the destruction of Arkona in 1168.



Everything here is full of amazing energy, causing untold feelings. Especially if you look at the sea from the very place that still remembers the old kings of Rügen. In the last century at Cape Arkona suffered another landslide after which the depths of the sea forever hid most of the ancient capital.





evening on a farm near Arkona;) Behind the scenes it was dark, although it seems that the time is flowing in some other way. It was the most "powerful" place where I've come.





far established a wonderful wooden sculpture "Sea Eagle".







This concludes our tour ended, and the upcoming return of the night highway. Hope you had fun.

Gay Fish Refers To Which Song

vendetta Rugova and ready

One of the most interesting periods of the early European history, perhaps we could call the great migration of peoples. However, it was truly make or break period - many people have gone forever from the historical arena, there are new barbaric state. In this era laid the foundation for all European Middle Ages.

History of the Great Migrations full tragic events. But, perhaps, especially implacable against each another led by two of the tribe. The feud between them flared up everywhere they've met. And in the Baltic and the Danube, and in Northern Italy. They were Russes rugi and Goths .





standoff between rugami and Goths was not just a struggle between the barbarian tribes, such as a shaky Roman throne. Sources show us a picture of this vendetta, to pass from generation to generation. Evgippy in the Life of St. Severin tells the numerous wars between the Goths in rugami and Danube. But the most exemplary feud began in the later period. Father Theodoric kills father Odoacer. Then Theodoric, showing guile, cracked down on by Odoacer and his entourage. Moreover, this example clearly shows that the initiative belonged to the Goths.

AG Kuz'min suggested that "the Goths considered one of the main enemies of Rugova, apparently, ever since their collision in the Baltic States." ( Kuzmin, AG At the dying waves of the great migrations / Where have gone the Russian land. Book. I. - M., 1986. - S. 546. ) would therefore be logical to start from scratch and apply to the Gothic historian Jordanes:

«From the island Skandsa, as if out of the shop, [manufactures] tribes, or rather, as if from the womb, [generate] tribes, according to legend once came the Goths with their king by name Berig. As soon as he came down with the ships, they set foot on the ground as soon as nickname given to the place. They say that to this day it is called Gotiskandza. Soon they moved from there to the place ulmerugov who was sitting on the shores of the ocean, where they camped, and fought [with ulmerugami], drove them from their own settlements. Then they subdued their neighbors, the Vandals, and attaching them to their victories. "

Talking about the relocation to the southern Baltic coast, Jordan says that the Goths have faced up there with "ulmerugami» ( ulmerugi - literally "island rugi »). However, the history of a victorious invasion of the Gothic must be treated critically. Jordan is well known for his literary pathos. In addition, long survive in the south of the Baltic Goths failed. While rugi a long time to maintain their position in the region, including the island of Ruegen. Appear with the island and should be connected "ulmerugov.


Island of Ruegen

Then Jordan talks about the subsequent history of the Gothic tribe, and on his first kings. And here the fun begins! The author is very sensitive about any evidence that could somehow diminish the "glory of the willing." However, one of them he makes a reservation. And this testimony, expressed literally in the same sentence, it is extremely important. Although Jordan, that he relates it to fairy tale fabulis anilibus:

«... However, we have not found records of those fables, which states that they [the Goths] were converted into slavery in Brittany, or at some of the islands, and then released by someone at the cost of one horse. "

's probably not worth the wake of Jordan as quickly reject interesting information. Especially given the general nature of the source, namely, it may be the most objective. So, what do we have?

• Jordan negotiated the existence of some (apparently unpleasant) "fables" about the Goths.
• they deal on some islands (if it can be compared with Britain), which there was quite unpleasant for the ready event.
• And finally, in "fables" featured a horse that has enormous value, which corresponds with the price of freedom of the whole tribe.

Accordingly, if the simulated historical situation, it must match all of these conditions: a) a large island, and b) a horse; c) some kind of will, capable of "liberating at the price of a horse." And they find a direct analogy to the other source. Saxo Grammaticus describes a custom , existing на острове Рюген:

«Cum bellum adversum aliquam provinciam suscipi placuisset, ante fanum triplex hastarum ordo ministrorum opera disponi solebat, in quorum quolibet binae e transverso iunctae conversis in terram cuspidibus figebantur, aequali spatiorum magnitudine ordines disparante. Ad quos equus ductandae expeditionis tempore, sollemni precatione praemissa, a sacerdote e vestibulo cum loramentis productus, si propositos ordines ante dextro quam laevo pede transscenderet, faustum gerendi belli omen accipiebatur; sin laevum vel semel dextro praetulisset, petendae provinciae propositum mutabatur, nec prius certa navigatio praefigebatur, quam tria continue potioris incessus vestigia cernerentur. (Dan. 14.39.10) ».

«set out to make war, ordered the ministers to stick to the ground in front of the temple of three pairs of copies at the same distance: in each the pair tied the third spear across. Before the start of the campaign, the priest, uttering a solemn prayer, we derive a horse by the bridle from the entrance of the temple and led to the cross spear: if a horse stepping each transverse spear, lifted his right foot first, and then left, then saw it as a happy sign and were confident of success war, if he even once played with his left foot, then terminated conceived venture. Also, the sea voyage was regarded as a reliable not only as if the three consecutive steps of the horse predicted success. " (Translated by A. Hilferding)

This tradition was widespread throughout the South Baltic coast. A similar description is found in Titmara Merzeburgskogo:

«... They take a horse, characterized by particularly high growth and revered by them as sacred, and with reverence and prayer to make him step over the folded edge of the two cross stuck into the ground copies; it as if inspired by the deity horse peregadyvayut them that it was found the same fortune-telling, and if you come out the same thing, then execute our plans work, otherwise the aggrieved people refuse to from their enterprise. " (Translated by A. Hilferding)


from the work of Giulio Ferrario (Milan, 1826)

Thus, important decisions have been taken by Rugova behavior of the sacred horse. Most likely, this divination was used in all the principal cases. We can therefore assume that once the Goths defeated and were enslaved, they could be pardoned "at the cost of a horse» , that is due consisted of the ritual, the reported historical sources.

approximate reconstruction of events shows that the "fable" Jordan might well be based on a historical basis. Goths entered the war with the island rugami "and, of course, could be defeated, especially on foreign soil. Most likely the island, which includes rugi - is Ruegen where Pagans used the sacred horse to deal with important issues. And, apparently, in the case of the Goths there was a favorable combination of circumstances (Otherwise they would be unlikely to continue its historic path).

on further developments can only guess. However, if there was just so that "the glorious Goths" could perceive a happy release "at the cost of one horse as a very serious offense. Motive for the start of a vendetta here is obvious.

Once in Sweden ...

During a feast in Stockholm I toasted for Russian-Swedish friendship of Charles XII. Was such a moment;) The Swedes, of course, have round eyes. For them, it is indeed a national hero, but such a turn no one expected. Therefore said I was probably the first Russian who spoke so kind words about Sweden in the last three centuries. The next toast was Swedish, and as you might guess, also for the Russian-Swedish friendship for Peter I. You do not have any policies or joint economic projects - simply good relations between people.

talked, of course, about "normanizm. To modern educated Swedes are wildness, particularly in the current Russian version. There is clear to everyone that if the ancient Russes were vikingar, this does not mean that they came from Sweden. Quite the contrary. During that same feast, we noted with regret that our ancestors at all times is too much at war with each other. However, "normanizm" there is not such a sick theme (By definition), as in the national historiography. To strengthen the friendship between Russia and the Swedish kingdom, he is not needed. Not to mention the academic Science, in which "normanizm" absolutely not appropriate.

"at public meetings can also be charged and require condemnation on the death penalty. Severity of the punishment is determined by the severity of the crime: the traitors and deserters they hang on trees, cowards and blundered into battle, and and defiled her body - drowned in the mud and swamp, throwing over fallen trees. The difference in the way of killing is based on the fact that atrocities and punishment for them should, in their opinion, flaunt it, and shameful deeds - to hide ".
