In school we are strangely learning history. Here is Europe with the medieval, the era of wigs and Napoleonic wars. Here is Russia and Russia - the Dopeprovskaya, the times of wigs and palace coups and the epoch of the great Russian writers. Here is the revolution and the Great Patriotic. Here is the first and second world.
And everything is completely separate. Rus in itself. Europe and Asia - also by themselves. The era of wigs simply "replaces" the boyars and musketeers, as if taking it nowhere. A series of virgin names, kings and writers - just a list for completing.
But even in the most dense times, people traveled and wrote letters, and those who seem like us as existing in different universes, often knew each other or even were connected with each other. Pics.ru decided to show visually some ties, parallels and just coincidences.
