From Constantinople 1453 to Kyiv 2022 – the angle – see the world as it is!


In all the books of history about the fall of Constantinople, May 29, 1453, the disappearance of Emperor Constantine XI is also recorded.
Although some Ottoman chroniclers claim that the head was found, as a result of the conqueror, Mehmet II, to discover the body of the defeated, for proof of the disaster on the Byzantine capital. There is no doubt according to sources, because he disappeared. But after the fall of the wall from the San-Roman gate, the emperor of Byzantium took his signs of sovereign and threw himself into the slaughter. In one, the emperor could assure his departure (as many others did). The Venetian or Geneva ships, leaving the golden horn (golf that divides the city) were willing to take Byzantines, if they removed the money. It would not have been who knows what difficulty for the emperor to leave. He didn’t do it! Even after the injury of Giovanni Giutiniani Longo (noble Genoese, participant in the defense of Constantinople) remained in positions, although the defeat was already inevitable. The Byzantines addressed the help of the Europeans in the fight against the Ottomans, but he was ignored. It was not the only heroic moment during the confrontation (April 2 – May 29, 1453) of Constantin Paleolog. The emperor also refused the suggestions of those close to leaving the city to prepare a resistance and possibly, the recovery. He also rejected the proposals of Mehmet II of giving up Constantinople without struggle, in exchange for a golden exile in a territory guaranteed by the conqueror. Physically it disappeared, but its deed has remained a sublime page of universal history.
It was unbelievable for many of us, that such tragedies can take place in the first decades of the century. XXI. The day of February 24, 2022 under our eyes becomes a black day in the history of Ukraine and Europe. It is the day when Ukraine was invaded by Russian troops. During three years, Russian bombs and rockets fall continuously on peaceful cities and villages in the eyes of the whole planet. President Volodimir Zelenski, democratically chosen by the Ukrainian people, refused an escape offer from the Kiev capital, by the following answer: « The fight is here, I need ammunition, not evacuation. » (Source of the US Embassy, ​​February 26, 2022).

Personalities through their courage make history, if we were to list them (from Emperor Constantine the Paleologist to Volodimir Zelenski). After the disastrous meeting between Donald Trump and the Ukrainian president, the Republican Congressman Don Bacon, writes: « A bad day for America’s foreign policy. Ukraine wants independence, free markets and rule of law. We should be clear that we support freedom » (message addressed to Hill).
What to thank V. Zelenski to the Trump business team, for the assignment of the aggressor’s territories, for the craving for rare minerals and so on? Russia leads a three-way war on Ukraine, one military, the other economic and the third-propagandistic. The night bombardments on cities and civil villages, the destruction of energy infrastructure to leave the localities in the dark. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has interrupted the USAID program of hundreds of millions for the rehabilitation of electrical networks. The propagandistic one pursues the purpose of misinformation, intimidation, division, lie. And so on That is, the latter produce great negative effects on the state of mind of the Ukrainian people, etc.
Only a united Europe (not that of the fifteenth century) can stand the lusts of the aggressor. Like Emperor Constantine XI the Paleologist, President Volodimir Zelenski: « He could fill a plane with money and leave Ukraine, did not, he could be hidden in a bunker, he could not teach the Russians, he did not do it, » writes Emil Iulian Mladin (Romania) what he did to the world.
