to Tsaritsyn island Petersburg ; now almost 200 years growing oak Washington - Great Master Alexandria-Vashingtongskoy box number 22. Acorn, from which grew this oak, was brought from the grave George Washington in Mount Vernon, in 1842 and became «admission ticket" to Emperor for one young Yankees, which earned it from Nicholas I set gifts and patronage.
«Nick accepted the gift with joy, saying,« that no other character in any ancient or modern history, to whom he admired as to our Washington ». When that the emperor personally ordered to plant this oak tree in the family residence on the islands of Imperial pond.
on a bronze plaque oak to keep the same inscription , which was on the package, which acorn from America, was brought in Russia: " Nested acorn removed from the oak, overshadowed grave unforgettable Washington, DC, and raised as a sign of great respect to His Majesty the Emperor of Russia. Americans " ». With the death of the Emperor around the swollen from an acorn oak tree is established annually in the summer of gilded basket of forget-me ».
In the U.S., this fact was attached great importance, because « From the perspective of Americans, an acorn from the tomb of George Washington symbolized the freedom and migrated across the ocean .... However, this symbolic gift was and Subtext: The symbol of freedom of the embryo was given an American to the Russian Tsar. Only the supreme authority (!) Could in Russia to become a source of freedom. Ideas that emerged in America, not perceived Russian society and the state (!)».
At the same acorn simultaneously started and Modernization 19 th century in Russia, because student, who brought his Emperor Nicholas I , told him verbally that in Russia lot luxury and gold, but of America she far behind, because there locomotives and many other achieve Scientific - Technical progress. Emperor then intercourse with a young visitor from America promptly sent an expedition, and already soon iron road appeared in Russia.
However talk about oak Washington , with whom he has nearly two centuries in Russia «Grows Spirit of Freedom", I began not to speak of modernization. For me, lot more, important is another aspect. In particular theme of , why system values George Washington was so close Nicholas I . And more why «At the time of Nicholas I Commander of the American colonists and the first president of the United States has become one of the most respected Russian characters in world history. ... This in Russian history textbooks by the middle of the XIX century even withstood the epithet « immortal Washington ».
answer to many questions gives himself Tsaritsyn island, which was planted acorn, transported via Ocean. Or rather - architectural design residence , parks and fountains, reflecting the interest Emperor the mysteries Pompeii, Etruscan, Maltese and collections Napoleon Bonaparte .
example, «in the dining hall in 1850 was posted authentic Pompeian mosaics, dating from the I century, formerly in the collection of Josephine de Beauharnais. Mosaic was bought specifically Nicholas I for the pavilion at Duke Maximilian Leichtenberg in 1844. Son Duke Maximilian Leichtenberg - Eugene Maksimilianovich, 5 th Duke of Leuchtenberg , born years later, was simultaneously grandson Emperor Nicholas I and great-grandson Josephine Beauharnais .
And this is referred to above, acquisition Nikolai I «walking on the trail» his brother Alexander I , which was very indifferent to possess fact, than had Josephine - woman, worried minds of European elites almost 10 years. In particular, Alexander I bought 38 paintings from his ex-wife Napoleon, Josephine de Beauharnais.
Moreover, in May 1814 , a month after the abdication Napoleon, ; Emperor Alexander I came to divorced Empress Josephine in ; Malmaison . And the events develop: «... Josephine gives the ball in his honor. Russian king danced with her ... .. a few minutes in a ball gown flushed dance, she runs into the courtyard for fresh air. Two days later, Josephine died of pneumonia ... ".
This is the official version. In actual fact believed that death of Josephine, is shrouded in mystery nor how many no less than death Napoleon. Later , such same mystery was shrouded the death of Alexander himself and I , who died in one of dates pertaining to the mysteries of the Maltese Cross and the Order of Templar.
And if no errors in dates, then itself Pompeii mosaic, on which stepped leg Josephine de Beauharnais, was acquired Emperor Nicholas I in same year, when they died daughter Alexander . When this personally emperor believed that death daughter - it is a punishment for the blood, shed them ; during December rebellion ....
Empress Alexandra I F. was inconsolable and residence ; built Emperor is including, and for to she forgotten in these islands of happiness.
«Tsaritsyn Island created by the emperor for his wife Alexandra as the island of Utopia, of ideal world, the island of dreams. .... Empress island in Peterhof resembled for a loved one in her family Peacock island near Potsdam and dream about the island of Borneo ... » (« Pompeii mosaic » http://www.eclectica .spb.ru/page404.html ).
Chief Pavilion Tsaritsyn pond was built in 1842-1844 by architect Andrei Ivanovich Shtakenshneider in "Pompeian" style - in imitation of the antique villas, open during the excavations of Pompeii. To develop the project architect, specifically went to Pompeii.
Pavilion at This made style Roman baths in Sharlottengofe (Prussia), built in 1829-1840 years on a plan brother of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. This reference participation brother Empress in creating residence on Islands Tsaritsyn pond is very important because it comes Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, who in 1843, in honor of 400 anniversary of the Order of the Swan " ; , восстановил «Лебединый орден», учрежденный курфюрстом бранденбургским Фридрихом II, в 1440 году ( «Белая Русь: «Орден Лебедя» города "Between Gods" and a place of pilgrimage throughout the Hasidic world (part 4) » http://www.yaroslavova.ru/main.mhtml?Part=16&PubID=522 )
Later Chapter «Order Swan and native brother of Empress gave her symbolic column of white and blue glass tubules with the pommel in the form of a gilded statue of Ganymede, the eagle feeding grapes, which was installed in the flower stalls (see фотографии). ....
Как видим, вся резиденция на Царицыным и Ольгином Islands was filled with symbolism. A reading symbol - the occupation is not an easy task.
And possible, would be clearer if I go up to continue this topic so.
There is a film "Chest Marie de Medici » http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7z-n10PTR4 , created still during USSR. Chief hero film Vincent Savigny. In this case, Savigny - European interpretation names Vsevolod Yurevich ; Svinyin, is relevant for relics fortress Montsegur.
However was still a known Svin'in of this same kind - Paul Petrovich, diplomat, artist , Geography collector ( P. Svin'in and his Russian Museum, Part VI http://www.portal-slovo.ru/art/39887.php ).
And as times with quote P. Svinyin begins article « Peterhof: characters emblematy, aesthetics of water » http://www.nasledie-rus.ru/podshivka/6621.php :
« Peterhof is the only place in Russia, where so small space focused as if the memory of the future offspring so many historical memories and works of art "(1828) ...
Ie here, including and Royal Islands, are all secrets that should know and remember Russia.
For example, That is:
« special interest for lovers of genuine antiquities represents hidden deep greens and ingrown into the land of ruins in East part of the island. Fragments of the columns of enormous size, capital Manufacturers and ledges of pink marble - the architectural part of some ancient buildings - were sent to from Italy by Pope Pius IX as a gift to Nicholas I ....
From the flower garden to the pavilion led sequentially gallery, all overgrown with plu-schom. At the end of it, the greenery, in a niche stood a white marble fi-gur boy begging. On the other side of the gallery was erected a magnificent terra-sa, surrounded with a balustrade and descend a wide staircase to the lake. In the water you can see the two bronze statues: a fisherman with a fishing rod and a fisherman with a seine »
Symbols such Fisher known. It - sign king. In the legend of Lohengrin Perceval cures the King Fisher learns from him the secrets of the Grail ...
This Emperor ; Nicholas I particularly valued sculpture «Boy, asking for alms , and sculpture « Venus, relieving sandal " ....
Palermo, Pompeii, special royal sets, writing utensils. and other items decorated Etruscans drawings - even a feature decoration.
.... Palermo - Chief city Italian Sicily. In the small town Piazza Armerina, survived few ancient churches, including Kommenda church, serves as the foundation of the Order of Jerusalem Knights of Malta after the defeat of the First Crusade ... Is Sicily and house, decorated with images of the famous story Leda and the swan - his so called: home Leda.
In the final analysis, and here, in Palermo, Empress Alexandra that obviously, was in the halo mysteries of the Swan and Maltese cross.
How see, despite the fact that, formally, Nicholas I distanced himself from Order John Jerusalem, Grand Master of which was his father Paul I , in reality, Roman heritage, heritage Napoleon, Malta and Sicily - occupied almost all his time.
