Considered on the most influential figures of the 20th century, who forever changed the course of Russian history, was Russian communist revolutionary Vladmir Ilyich Lenin. Lenin was born on April 22, 1870 originally in Simbirsk, Russia where he was raised into a middle class family. Later in his life, when he studied law, he became greatly influenced by Marxist socialism. This was one of the major political stepping stones that led to his great role in the Russian Revolution. Being born into…

In Russian history there were three great Tsars: Vladimir the Great, Peter the Great, and Catherine the Great. Only one of these greats is a female, making Catherine’s rise to greatness even greater. Catherine was born Sophie Friederike Auguste of Anhalt-Zerbst in the Baltic port of Stettin, Pomerania on May 2, 1729 (Rounding, 7).

Fear is used as a weapon by those who abuse their power to manipulate the innocent victims, which is clear in both eras of the Red Scare and The Crucible. The time periods are both supported by controversial claims…

Grigori Rasputin did not live very long but his life was indeed very interesting. Over and over again, his life is described as “sorted” with three major emphases: his sexual exploits, his unorthodox behavior and his untimely death. Very little effort has been made to describe and discuss the impact that he had on Russia’s’ efforts during World War I. Although World War I was significant to the development of post war occurrences and ultimately today’s society, Rasputin was a key player but…

Memoir, often distinguished from autobiography, is a narrative that reveals experiences within the author 's lifetime and is often written in the first person point of view. An excellent example of this would be Eugenia Ginzburg’s memoir, Journey into the Whirlwind. In her memoir, Eugenia Ginzburg describes her own imprisonment and exile by detailing her eighteen years in prison following her arrest during the Great Purge. Ginzburg writes her memoir in a way to drive home her themes. In other…

“When Life Asks for Everything” In this editorial, David Brooks, an op-ed columnist for The New York Times, provides us with the insight for two models of human development. The first being what Aristotle called, “ The Four Kinds of Happiness”. This theory simply states that our happiness comes from specific interactions with people and material goods. For example, material pleasure including having nice clothes or a fancy car will ultimately yield far less happiness than helping someone obtain…

In the later fifthteenth century, European exploration and discovery driven by a want to discover a sea route in the East resulted in a series of Portuguese voyages. Geographical findings by Europe brought several new assets such as land, wealth, precious metals, and new products like coffee and tobacco.

because my mom makes it really good. My mom used to make it every weekend and we would enjoy her food. Since nobody thought me, I learned from online and therefore not good on it yet. I will shortly provide recipe. Pilaf is traditionally cooked in a kazan, a sort of large cat iron pot, over an open fire, but cooking in a dutch oven over a gas flame will work just fine.
