Нашёл эту уматную штучку в одном магазинчике в своём родном Хабаровске. И хоть на обороте надпись UK only(только для Соединённого Королевства(Великобритания), тем не менее, мне не пришлось ехать в Британию, чтобы купить её.
On May 11, 1891, exactly 130 years ago, during his eastern journey across the Asian countries(including Siam(nowadays Thailand) and Japan), Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich had faced with one ultranationalist Japanese policeman, Tsuda Sanzo, in the city of Otsu. Tsuda Sanzo used his sabre to kill Nicholas Alexandrovich, but in OTL, Nicholas Alexandrovich, despite being wounded, was able to survive thanks to his cousin George, Prince of Greece and Denmark, who knocked down Sanzo with his walking cane. And despite Sanzo's actions were heavily condemned by the vast majority of the Japanese nation(Sanzo's family had become outcasts and the citizens of Otsu even tried to rename their city to not tarnish their city with the accident), Nicholas Alexandrovich had become pretty much racist towards the Japanese people, and, likely, it became one of the reasons of Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.
But what would have happened, if Nicholas Alexandrovich was killed in Japan? So, it's an alternate May 11, 1891. Prince George of Greece and Denmark tries to knock dowm Tsuda Sanzo, but unlike OTL, he fails and Nicholas Alexandrovich, shortly after being severely wounded by Tsuda Sanzo, dies at the age of 22(just few days prior to his 23rd birthday).
What would have happened next? Would Tsuda Sanzo had been sentenced to the death penalty? (Alexander III of Russia, from one hand, wouldn't have had much desire to go on a war with Japan due to his oldest son's death. But from other hand, he definetely would have demanded from the Japanese court to sentence Sanzo to death. In OTL, Sanzo was sentenced to the hard labour for the rest of his life).
Would Georgy Alexandrovich(Nicholas Alexandrovich's younger brother, who would have succeded Alexander III of Russia, if Nicholas Alexandrovich had died prior to late 1894) had been able to be a better emperor, than his older brother in OTL? (Let's suppose, that Georgy Alexandrovich doesn't die in 1899 and thus he keeps ruling Russia in the 20th century as the Emperor George I of Russia)
And how Nicholas Alexandrovich would have been remembered by the nowadays people? (In OTL, he became pretty much despised, as he had failed to save Russian Empire from its collapse)
Впервые в мировой истории компьютер победил человека в шахматах. Тем более, что советский и российский гроссмейстер Гарри Каспаров в то время был действующим мировым чемпионом по шахматам.
On May 10, 2005, US president George W. Bush visited Tbilisi, where he was almost killed by Vladimir Arutyunian, Georgian citizen of Armenian descent. Arutyunian tried to get rid of both George W. Bush and Mikhail Saakashvili by blowing them with the Soviet grenade RGD-5. In OTL, grenade had failed to detonate. But let's imagine, that in this alternate May 10, 2005, RGD-5 grenade detonates and while Saakashvili gets severe injuries(yet he stays alive), Bush Jr dies of the wounds in Tbilisi hospital. It's obvious, that Dick Cheney would have become 44th US president shortly after George W. Bush's death. But I wonder, what would have happened next? Would Vladimir Arutyunian had been charged in the USA, thus being sentenced to the death penalty? (In OTL, he was charged in Georgia, and even now, Arutyunian is still in prison) How Cheney could have handled both domestic and international policy? Would the USA under Cheney had directly interfered to the Russo-Georgian War in August 2008? (In OTL, George W. Bush limited himself with the verbal condemns of Russian actions in Georgia. Cheney was more radical, than Bush Jr).
Would Cheney had win in 2008 elections or he still would have lost? And how George W. Bush would have been remembered, if he would have died on May 10, 2005?
8 мая 1886 года, американский фармацевт Джон Пембертон создал Кока-Колу. Изначально напиток был заменой алкоголю и был лекарственным средством. Через некоторое время, рецепт Кока-Колы выкупил предприниматель Эйза Кэндлер, благодаря которому Кока-Кола превратилась в газировку, которая впоследствии распространилась по всей планете(лишь в некоторых странах её невозможно купить).
Среди наиболее известных любителей Кока-Колы был легендарный советский маршал, Георгий Константинович Жуков. Он впервые попробовал Кока-Колу в 1945 году, благодаря американскому генералу Дуайту Эйзенхауэру, который в 1953 году стал президентом США. Маршал Жуков полюбил Кока-Колу и даже попросил американцев сделать бесцветную версию Кока-Колы, чтобы его не обвиняли в "поклонении символу американского империализма" (В СССР Кока-Кола рассматривалась как один из символов американского империализма). По итогу Жуков получил партию в 50 ящиков бесцветной Кока-Колы, созданной на одном заводе в Австрии.
That's what I found today, while walking in the park of Lenin Stadium in my home city of Khabarovsk. Toothless plus Stormly, yet they look a little bit cursed.
P.S. This boy from the picture isn't her little brother. It's just some random boy from the 5th season(judging by Mako's uniform, as she wore this in 5th season).
So, ok, let's imagine, that Makoto, just like Yor from Spy x Family, is a girl, who has to raise her little brother alone. How the entire plot of Sailor Moon could have gone? How Makoto's little brother(let's call him Hiro) would have reacted to the fact that his big sister is a Senshi?
And how do you think, what would have been his role in the plot? Would Hiro had been a cute side character, who loves and supports his big sister? Or he'd have been just an annoying little burden for Makoto?
In this alternate 1953, Georgy Zhukov refuses to side with Khrushchev and he uses the help of the Soviet Army to get rid off both Beria and Khrushchev(and Malenkov too), thus coming to power in early September 1953.
So, how the history of the USSR(and maybe the whole world), especially in 1953-1974 would have changed? Would Austria had repeated Germany's fate, becoming divided into two countries(capitalist West Austria and communist East Austria, with Vienna being divided as well)? In OTL, Khrushchev withdrew the Soviet troops from Austria in 1955, but only because France, the UK and the USA withdrew their troops from Austria too.
Would Georgy Zhukov had been able to successfully interact with the US President Dwight Eisenhower? (Fun fact-In OTL, in 1945, Dwight Eisenhower gave him to taste Coca Cola. And Zhukov took a liking on Coca Cola. But since Coca Cola was viewed one of the symbols of "the imperialism" in the Stalinist USSR, Coca Cola had to make colorless version of Coca Cola specially for Zhukov).
Would the USSR had been able to successfully handle the Space Race with the USA?
And who would have succeeded Zhukov in 1974? (Let's imagine, that the Cold War stays cold by 1974 and Zhukov dies, while being in power)
