He unfortunately arrived here just in time for them to be caught up in the Civil War.

This is incredible. I was gripped the entire time. The delivery, the pacing, the story telling on display here is near perfect. I felt so many different emotions. Hearing the perspective of those on the ground really brings the story to life. This is history, but also the lives of real people. It may be morbid but it is completely fascinating.

It's kinda morbid but most people who are interested in war aren't particularly warlike,, but feel a nagging fascination with it because as Patton said,, "All other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance when compared to war"... Or as another more cynical author said,, war is "a creature whose vastness alone made it sacred to man",, but my point is that many average people seem soothed by war history because they're safely detached but feel an empathy or sympathy that's paradoxically comforting...

Quotes and first hand accounts really bring it to life. It's not just words on a page anymore, these people experienced the most horrendous events man can create and they share their experiences or feelings with us. It's not just about glorious tactics and massive personalities. The common soldier had lives with problems not so different than our own. I think it's important to look at it this way. War should be avoided at all costs. Too many people today look at the war too fondly, sure it's interesting but it should also teach us an important lesson in why we should avoid war at all costs. Imagine how it would have been to clean up a battlefield. So many dead people with horrific wounds. The smell would be beyond description. Doctors treating casualties with primitive equipment or just amputating limbs. The sounds of men screaming or praying would scar you forever. I see why many would rather avoid describing it as it's very uncomfortable to think about but is necessary.

It works as "prince" when you refer to the rulers of the feudal Rus states or to the members of the royal dynasty (brothers, cousins, uncles of the emperor etc) in the imperial Russia.

Top notch presentation. First class work 👍👌
Nadezhda Andreyevna Durova (Надежда Андреевна Дурова) is such a uniquely singular figure in this colossal historical event. Her fellow male soldiers said she was "peerless" in courage and was awarded the Cross of St George by Czar Alexander himself for her actions to save her fellow soldiers.
