Prince Vladimir in the tenth century baptized himself.and baptized Kievan Rus. From that time, Orthodox history began in Russia. The rulers of Russia, the presidents of Russia in different historical epochs and under various control systems of society succeeded each other, leaving their mark on its fate.
It is known that historical facts are always a few.distorted depending on political events. And sometimes, as today's realities show, attempts are being made beyond recognition to rewrite history. One gets the impression that the rulers of Russia and the USSR, the presidents of Russia are presented to people outside our state in a completely different, distorted and unattractive light. The Great Patriotic War is being renamed in textbooks during World War II, the significance of the Soviet Union in defeating Nazi Germany is diminished as much as possible, and the Ukrainian authorities equalize fascism and communism and declare that the Soviet Union attacked Europe and not liberated it from fascism.
The same goes for statesmen.
Have there been endless princely strife in Russia onreally? Did Ivan the Terrible kill his son, as the textbooks tell about it? And who was Emelyan Pugachev? Did Peter the Great return from Europe, or was it not him already?
Probably, someday it will be authentically known what people stood at the helm of the state and deciding where and how the country will move.
Are you interested in the rulers of Russia, the Soviet Union, the presidents of Russia? The list in order of heads of state can be easily found in history books.
The Romanovs came to the Russian throne insixteenth century and ruled Russia before the revolution of 1917, when the monarchical system came to an end, and the long-awaited communist rushed to replace it.
Probably, to this day, the Russian people cannotgive a full assessment of all the events that took place during the years of Soviet power. There are still irreconcilable disputes about the contribution of Lenin and Stalin to the fate of the state. But the fact that under Gorbachev, the first and last president of the USSR, a huge country has ceased to exist, probably, no one doubts.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia was predictedan unenviable future, and some Western opponents certainly made plans for the dismemberment of a weakened country. But the incredible happened. The state got stronger, he had a bright and strong leader, and the people cheered up. Once again, the predatory plans for the destruction of the largest country in the world have failed.
The collapse of the USSR occurred in 1991. The newest Russian history is very young, and the list of presidents of Russia in order is quite small, only three names. It:
B.N. Yeltsin.
YES. Medvedev.
V.V. Putin
Yeltsin B.N.came to power in 1991 and ruled the country until 1999. Politicians still give a mixed assessment of his rule. Then, after the collapse of the Soviet Union came the troubled times, dashing nineties, crimson jackets and gold chains. The Russians have experienced predatory privatization, or "grabbing", as it was called by the people. Appeared solid, arrogant, gangster class of oligarchs.
The list of presidents of Russia continued in orderV.V. Putin, who replaced Yeltsin in this post. He had to deal with the oligarchic class. Chechen wars, terrorist acts, the death of the Kursk submarine and many other problems that the national leader coped methodically with, fell on his rule, although he received an ambiguous popular assessment of his actions. He ruled the state for two presidential terms in a row, from 2000 to 2008, but, contrary to the expectations and revision of the Constitution to allow him to run for a third term, he refused this opportunity.
From the ruling United Russia party to powerDmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev came, who ruled the state from 2008 to 2012. And the list of presidents of Russia in order added to another name. V.V. Putin at the time was appointed prime minister.
In 2012, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was again elected President of Russia.
The role of the individual ruler in the history of the state,probably impossible to overestimate. He embodies the face of the people of the whole country that rules. And there are pages in its history that I want to pause for a long time and think about those state leaders, thanks to whom the country has changed for the better, and the people living in it especially acutely aware of the importance of the historical moment and the invaluable contribution that national leader. If you look at the list of presidents of Russia in order, you will find that such a statesman in Russia appeared at the turn of the millennia. And there is today.
