In 1709, Hetman of Little Russia Ivan Mazepa, who fled to Turkey after the Battle of Poltava, poisoned himself.
How can one not recall Pushkin’s “Poltava”, where Mazepa says:
No, it's too late. To the Russian Tsar
It is impossible to put up with me.
I made my mind up a long time ago
My destiny. I've been burning for a long time
Constrained by anger...
The German princess Sophia Frederica Augusta married the grandson of Peter the Great, Karl Ulrich, later Tsar Peter the Third, and after eighteen years of hated marriage, she “organized,” as they would say today, the overthrow and murder of her husband. She was elevated to the throne with the help of the military and turned out to be the most outstanding Russian empress.
Her accession to the throne was announced in the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg, but the coronation of all Russian tsars took place in Moscow. A magnificent ceremony, balls, theatrical performances, illuminations, fireworks and folk holiday They followed the usual order, only in all this there was, in comparison with previous coronations, more luxury and taste. Tens of thousands of Muscovites clogged the streets. “It is impossible to describe to you the joy that countless people here show at the sight of me,” the 33-year-old empress wrote to the Russian envoy in Warsaw, “as soon as I go out or appear in the window, the screams resume.”
In 1791, the great English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday was born.
He was such a controversial figure that his students and followers considered his brilliant discoveries to be a consequence of insufficient education and rechecked all his experiments. There was some truth in this: Faraday found patterns where no one had seen or recognized them before him...
His book “The History of a Candle” has been translated into almost all languages of the world.
In 1869, the white general Pyotr Krasnov was born.
The talented Cossack commander remained in Soviet history as a general who did not keep his word given in 1917 not to participate in the fight against Soviet power, and as an accomplice of the Nazis in the Second World War, for which he was executed. Having ended his career ingloriously life path, until recently he remained completely unknown in his homeland as a gifted writer who wrote more than two dozen novels and stories.
In 1872, just over a month short of turning 72, Vladimir Dal died, a doctor of Danish origin who tried to save the wounded Pushkin after a duel and who devoted thirty-five years to compiling the “Dictionary of the Living Russian Language,” which we still open every now and then .
“He was a Lutheran by faith, but a year before his death he converted to Orthodoxy,” it is written about Dal in Sytin’s 1912 calendar. “Until then, it was impossible to imagine him as a non-Orthodox Russian man - he was so much a Russian man in everything, he brought so many good Russians into the light of God, driven down by excessive Western influence.”
Vladimir Dal spent half his life compiling the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language,” thereby accomplishing a feat in the name of the Russian people. “Only publicity can heal us from the vile vices of lies, deceit and bribery and from the custom of covering the offended person’s mouth and reporting that everything is fine,” Dahl wrote in a letter to the publisher Koshelev.
Until this time, the Bulgarian Principality was formally a vassal of the Ottoman Empire and in all foreign policy acts asked for the approval of the Turkish Sultan. On September 22, the Bulgarian Prince Ferdinand read out the Manifesto on the Independence of Bulgaria in the city of Veliko Tarnovo.
From that moment on, the country from a principality became a kingdom. Soon Ottoman Türkiye and all the other Great Powers of Europe officially recognized the Kingdom of Bulgaria. The country began to experience a rapid rise, which, however, did not last long - after 5 years the Balkan Wars began, followed by the First World War.
In 1938, the popular American actor and singer Dean Reed was born.
He sang Elvis Presley ballads, protest songs and starred in Westerns, was an active participant in the leftist movement and sincerely considered himself a Marxist. The girls of the Country of Soviets went crazy for him.
Reed was born in the American city of Denver, but was never popular in his homeland. But South America idolized him, at one time he was even more popular there than Frank Sinatra, and the young singer’s debut record became a sales leader here.
It is difficult to name a country where Dean would not be arrested for his political speeches, from where he would not be expelled, where he would not be given a visa (this is with an American passport!)
In the mid-60s he first came to Soviet Union and since then has become a frequent visitor here. Once I even attended concerts at BAM. In one of his interviews, he joked: “My compatriot John Reed wrote famous book about Russia "Ten days that shocked the world." And although I, unlike my namesake, am not a writer, I could write a short book called “Nineteen days at BAM that shocked Dean Reed.” A documentary and musical film “I wish you happiness” was shot about the trip.
Reed's popularity in the USSR was enormous. Only accompanied by 20 policemen did he manage to leave the hall after the first concert of his third Soviet tour. His records sold millions of copies. At that time, there was no other American who would have enjoyed such success in the Soviet Union as this 33-year-old former cowboy from a ranch in Colorado.
Reed sang his lyrical ballads and political compositions for the builders of BAM, students of Moscow State University and fighters of Yasser Arafat. But he preferred boring East Berlin, the capital of the GDR, to the Amazon jungle or the Siberian taiga, where he moved in the early 80s, having married the first beauty of East German cinema, Renate Blume, whom, by the way, he met in the USSR. In the GDR, he starred in the films “Sing, Cowboy, Sing”, “From the Life of a Slacker” and “Blood Brothers”, known to every Soviet viewer, where his partner was the legendary Yugoslav film actor Gojko Mitic.
Dean Reed died as strangely as he lived - at the age of 47 in June 1986, under still unclear circumstances, he drowned in a river near the city.
On September 22, 1236, the Battle of Saul took place, in which the Samogitian and Semigallian troops inflicted a crushing defeat on the Order of the Swordsmen.

22 September 1520 years The ninth Ottoman Sultan, Selim I, nicknamed Yavuz (Terrible), one of the most important villains in world history, died.
Selyam the Terrible was very harsh; it is enough to recall the brutal massacre of Shiite Muslims he carried out in his country in 1513. At that time, 40-45 thousand people aged from 7 to 70 years were exterminated in Anatolia.
Selim's atrocities include his reprisal against his own family. After coming to power, he destroyed his older brothers Ahmed and Korkud, their children and grandchildren. Only Prince Djem managed to escape, who asked for refuge from the Christian sovereigns, but in 1515 he was poisoned by order of Pope Alexander VI Borgia, bribed by Selim’s rich gifts.

Over the course of a couple of years, about 200 “witches” and “sorcerers” were arrested in a small American city, 19 of them were hanged. The Salem events became the most notorious witchcraft trial in the history of the United States. The first accusers were two little girls who accused the maid of performing strange rituals.
On this day in 1709, Hetman of Little Russia Ivan Mazepa, who fled to Turkey after the Battle of Poltava, poisoned himself.
On this day in 1764, mileposts were introduced in the Russian Empire. The signs were made according to a single pattern. They were made in the form of obelisks made of marble or granite. A verst was equal to 500 fathoms and was 1.0668 kilometers. The first stone pillar was installed in 1774 near the Triumphal Gate. The first road with installed milestones was the path from Moscow to Kolomna. Later, the practice arose of indicating the distance to the nearest postal station on stone signs. The last stone milestone was installed near the Oryol Gate on the border of the Catherine Park. In 1970-90, the signs that have survived to this day were restored.
On this day in 1780, the first written mention of a lynching occurred.. This was the name given to the unauthorized killing of a person suspected of a criminal act. Such murders did not involve trial or investigation and were usually carried out by a crowd of angry citizens. African Americans were most often targeted for lynching in the United States. Lynching (primarily by hanging) spread after Civil War. The last lynching is considered to be the murder of Michael Donald, which occurred in 1981.

Having learned about this, A.V. Suvorov with a detachment of 7,000 people covered a distance of 100 km in two and a half days and took overall command of the Russian-Austrian troops. Confident of their superiority, the Turks settled into four camps between the Rymna and Rymnik rivers. Suvorov decided to attack the enemy immediately after the night march.
He defeated, one after another, three camps of the enemy, who were not ready for battle, after which he fled. The Allies lost only 700 people, while Turkish losses ranged from 6 to 20 thousand people, their convoy and artillery were completely captured. For this victory the following year, Suvorov was awarded the title of count with the honorary name Rymniksky, and the Austrian emperor awarded him the title of Count of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Zulu chief Senzangakhona had several illegitimate sons by his sister. One of them was called Chaka. In 1816, after the death of Senzangakhona, Chaka killed his half-brother, who was considered the rightful heir, and became the leader of the Zulu. He formed a regular army from young Africans, in which he maintained the strictest discipline with cruelty. For the slightest offense he punished soldiers with death.
White colonists wrote that Chuck was literally devastated south africa, killing about 2 million people in their punitive campaigns. Even among the Zulus, the leader executed several people every day. Chaka had a huge harem of about 1,200 women, but he left no offspring because he killed all his pregnant concubines. In 1827, his mother died, and then the most beloved of his wives, Nandi, after which Chaki became completely uncontrollable. The leader sacrificed 7,000 Zulus, whom he gathered around the altar, surrounded with troops and killed every single one. He also ordered that the crops not be harvested and that any pregnant woman be executed along with her husband. Chaka personally traveled through his lands and dealt with those who dared not obey such a wild decree.
In the end, the Zulus, fed up with the leader's follies, formed a conspiracy, which was joined by two of Chaka's brothers - Dingana and Mhlanga. In September 1828, the conspirators broke into the leader's chambers and, after a short resistance, stabbed Chaka, and his corpse was thrown into the desert to be eaten by vultures.
