History of Russia
Beginning
With this issue, we begin this rather glorious and long historical journey. Today I will tell you a little about the birth of Russia and how it all began. Let's talk about the first Russian prince Slavic tribes. Let's get started!
Slavic tribes
The first who inhabited Russian history (according to legends) these were Slavic tribes. They were divided into northern, eastern and western groups. We will touch on the Eastern Slavs, since most of Russia is located on their former territory. I will name some of the tribes of the Eastern Slavs, Slovene, Krivichi, Chudi, Meri, Vesu.
Rurik
There was the city of Novgorod. The Novgorodians decided to call the prince to reign. They needed a warrior! And the first Russian prince is Rurik.(1 of the Rurik dynasty)
Origin: It is not known exactly who he was, but historians believe that Rurik was a Varangian. In 862, Rurik was called by the Novgorodians and asked to reign. Rurik agreed and from that moment the great Rurik dynasty began. And he sent Askold and Dir to reign on the Kiev land. According to the tale of bygone years, it was said that Rurik had only one son, Igor. Rurik died in 879. Since Igor was small, Oleg came to reign. Oleg was a distant relative of Rurik and the Novgorodians decided to leave him for the reign.
How I wrote my first poems
There probably isn't even anything to say, but I'll try to tell you this story somehow. One autumn day I decided to try my hand at writing poetry. By the way, it was already the end of autumn, the beginning of winter. I've been wanting to write my first poems for a long time, so the time has come. Inspiration came to me and I began to record. I wrote my first poems. By the way, I don't think they are perfect and I will try to improve the skill with each inspiration.
Here is a short story about how I wrote my first poems.
Fragment
So our section excerpt continues, in it you will learn parts of my future books before their release. And today we have an excerpt from the book Knights of Darkness killed by order of the two.
When I was chasing you with the Imperials, they betrayed me. They promised to pay me and never touch my ship. But as soon as you started taking off, they put me to sleep. The field I ended up here. They put us to sleep too. So everyone stop talking! Sleep! So k215 stay at the entrance to the prison compartment. Roger that, sir! In the meantime, I'm going to bed. Do they give them codes? Where are their names?

Sunday – send-off
On this day, people saw off Shrovetide. Before the beginning of Lent, people asked each other for forgiveness for everything, commemorated the dead. On Sunday, it is customary to burn an effigy. it is made of straw, wood and other flammable materials. Burning meant saying goodbye to winter, meeting spring and annual renewal. People throw old things into this bonfire in order to attract something new and good into life and get rid of the worst from the past. Gorenje's burning power depended on how quickly spring would come this year. It is customary to fertilize the fields with ashes after sowing, so that the harvest in the new year will be good. When the bonfire was lit, people stood in a round dance and began to sing various songs. Eg:
"Ah, how we waited for Maslenitsa,
They waited, they waited, they waited.
Cheese gorushki laid,
Laid, luli, laid.
The honey was watered with oil.
Oh, you Carnival, be polite,
Be katliva, lyuli, be katliva…
