you can prepare sandwiches from the «First World», or cook a nutritious soup.

      Erzac coffee. Acorns are calcined in the oven, peeled off, while hot scrolls in the meat grinder. Acorn minced meat is laid out on baking trays for further drying in the oven with the door open.

      Option – a drink from roasted beets.

      Despite all such substitutes, 800,000 people die from malnutrition and accompanying diseases, in Germany, from 1914 to 1918.

      In England and France, receiving resources from their numerous colonies, the nutritional situation is much better, although it is also not up to par. In addition, the population of the country, in which the monarch, after all, waking up, immediately begins to wonder how he would again and again gain the sympathy of his subjects, initially widely consolidated.

      In the course, among other effective measures to awaken the spirit of the nation, «the delivery of a white pen.» Are engaged in this girl-patriotic activists (sometimes just feminists). In the previously widespread in the United Kingdom cock fights, it was noticed that, as a rule, birds and white plumage usually show weakness and cowardice. The girl hands, to any young man in civilian clothes who has turned up on the street, a pen of the corresponding color – and this means that she shows him contempt for cowardice.

      Later, the government comes up with breastplates for soldiers on leave or for medical treatment, indicating that they are honestly «Serving the King and the Country.» The unspoken public agreement works clearly. The British Volunteer Army is fully operational.

      Such actions of the Socialist-Revolutionaries, cadets, other public organizations and unions are popular in Russia: handing out gifts to soldiers, caring for the wounded, sending collected food to the front, etc. But, yes, the state apparatus sees these unauthorized, exempted from clerical reporting, the more effective actions, the resistance to oneself, and tries to ban it all deafly.

      This does not benefit the public consent that is so difficult to be born.

      …Focussed only on his family, despising millions of his own kind, the emotionally obtuse monarch of the Holstein-Gottorp dynasty, who imagines that everyone loves him, all these, in fact, now fiercely hate. In the midst of high-ranking officers, representatives of the bourgeoisie and ministers, the grain of the conspiracy is sprouting. The main idea is the renunciation of the lost charisma of Nicholas II (Bloody) from the throne in favor of a minor son. The regent is the younger brother of the tsar, Mikhail.

      1. A popular banknote of that time, 25 rubles (a room in a working hostel, for six months.) A simple horse is also 25 rubles. One ruble is pancakes with fresh caviar in a tavern to a dump, the price of 1911.

      2. 50 paper kopecks in 1915, five loaves of bread already risen in price.

      3. One of the first tanks in the world (armored combat vehicles) – «Netopyr», a reflection of the technical thought of the time. The idea of caterpillars has not yet been mastered, the decrease in specific pressure on the ground is achieved by unnatural increase in the diameter of the wheels. Combat weight – 60 tons. Armament: two 76.2 mm. guns, 60 shots, eight 7.92 mm. machine guns «Maxim». Booking: board, forehead 10 mm. Crew – 15 people. The height of the building is 9 meters (fourth floor). Estimated speed along the highway is 17 km. h, a reserve of 60 km. Specific power 8.5 hp In 1915 one specimen was built, due to incorrect centering of the mass, it immediately stalled, it was not accepted for service. If this is a response to the advance of German troops, then the answer is incorrect. According to the «conspiracy theory» the project was sponsored by officials acting in the interests of Great Britain. They also stopped the project of Perekhovshchikov’s «Outlander», not quite considered, but promising, capable of becoming a wedge.

      4. One of the people of the era – Alexander Blok, poet of the Silver Age, 1880—1921. The son of a professor at the University of Warsaw and the daughter of the rector of St. Petersburg University. He studied at the Faculty of Law, married the daughter of D. Mendeleev, and maintained contacts with other women. Adopted the revolution of 1917, working on wear and tear in the university, «I forgot how to write poetry.» In February 1919 he was arrested by the Petrograd Cheka on charges of an anti-Soviet conspiracy, released after the intervention of the People’s Commissar of Education, Lunacharsky, outwardly unscathed, but with a mental wound. Already after writing the «Twelve», at the beginning of «socialist construction,» Blok believed that «the world revolution is turning into a world chest toad.» He died in a Petrograd flat from inflammation of the heart valves.

      Pre-revolutionary poems are popular now, they connect mysticism, life and, for example, impressions of the pilots seen on the performance:

      …And the beast with the dead screws

       Froze a frightening angle…

      Look for faded eyes

      Supports in the air… empty!

      It’s too late. On the grass of the plain

      Wing crumpled arc

      In the wavers of wires of machinery

      The hand is deadlier than the lever

      5. Maxim Gorky – Alexei Maksimovich Peshkov, Russian, Soviet writer, 1868—1936. He was born in the Nizhny Novgorod region, the town of Kanavino, in the family of a carpenter. Peshkov’s grandfather, a domestic tyrant, «Eh viii», colorfully depicted in «Childhood» – an officer demoted for ill-treatment of lower ranks. Traveling around Russia, working as a baker, cooker, etc., Gorky hones his literary talent, five times is nominated for the Nobel Prize, becomes a wealthy man, enjoys success with women. Sponsors the Bolshevik party, on the island of Capri, he establishes the God-building school – in which God is the quintessence of the organized human collective. These ideas are shared by two prominent figures of the RSDLP (b) – A. Bogdanov and A. Lunacharsky, one of the few who did not stain their name with murders.

      In the twenties Alexei lives in Berlin, Marienbad (Czech Republic), Sorrento (Italy), returned to the USSR, where he is considered the founder of socialist realism. Again he leaves, appearing in the Soviet Union in 1928 and 1929. Then he visits the ELEPHANT (СЛОН) – Solovetsky special purpose camp, communicates with the prisoners (who read the newspaper «upside down» prominently) and writes a positive opinion about the regime.

      Peshkov finally remained in the USSR since 1932. In 1934, after dinner with G. Yagoda, a son dies, Maxim Peshkov (the widow becomes the mistress of the NKVD People’s Commissar), two years later, at the dacha in Gorki, the writer ends his life. Four doctors are accused of poisoning Gorky with chocolate sweets and are being shot. Perhaps the writer was really poisoned by these very sweets, but on instructions from «above», on the eve of meeting with foreign (uncontrollable) writers, who were about to tell something unnecessary about the existing system. A more likely version is that Gorky gets cold
