It is easier to navigate along the circular metro line, where the metro station “Kurskaya” will correspond to the zero degree, the beginning of Aries. Further clockwise:

– “Taganskaya” corresponds to Taurus and the planet Venus, the color is yellow-green

– “Paveletskaya” – Gemini, planet Mercury, color yellow

– “Dobryninskaya” – Cancer, planet Moon, white

– “October” – Leo, planet Sun, red, cherry

– “Park of Culture” – Virgo, Mercury, light blue

– “Kievskaya” – Libra, Venus, aqua

– Krasnopresnenskaya – Scorpio, Pluto, blue

– “Belorusskaya” – Sagittarius, Jupiter, blue

– “Novoslobodskaya” – Capricorn, Saturn, blue

– “Prospect Mira” – Aquarius, Uranus, purple

– “Komsomolskaya” – Pisces, Neptune, green-blue

There is also an ancient eastern calendar based on a 12-year cycle. This cycle is likely associated with the period of Jupiter's revolution around the Sun – 12 years. Perhaps the largest planet in the solar system just affects earthly life?! This seems to be the case – at least for Russia. We can observe roughly the same in other countries, but with a different origin.

Calculating further into the depths of the centuries this cycle, the astrologers of India, Ancient China and Zorathustra (where these terms were named differently) agreed to consider it the beginning of the year of the Snake. Almost all known Russian troubles began in the year of the Snake or in the first six years of the 12-year cycle… 1605 (the year of the Snake): the death of Tsar Boris, the murder of his son, the accession of False Dmitry I and further a set of events characteristic of troubled times, which are famous Russian physicist Alexander Chizhevsky enlisted in the category of psychomotor epidemic: popular uprisings, riots, unrest, coups, murders, fermentation of minds, weakening of the state principle, external interventions, defensive wars, the enthronement of impostors (after 1605 there were eight of them). 862 (second year of the cycle): riots in Novgorod, accession of Rurik; the date is semi-legendary, therefore the dating is unreliable, but nevertheless… 1689: the end of the actual reign of Sophia, the accession of Peter I, the salvation of Peter I from the rebellious archers (the year of the Snake). You can also name the Pugachev riot and many other historical events…

Cycles of Russian history

Let us turn to the history of our civilization, where one of the most striking examples is the comparison of the histories of Ancient Rome (“Rome No. 1”) and the Third Rome – Moscow. In Rome, the first, as you know, Gaius Julius Caesar became the first to wear the high rank of “emperor” constantly; in the history of our country, for the first time it awarded this title to Peter I the Great. Caesar in 46 BC e. introduced the Julian calendar, in which the year began on January 1. Peter I introduced a new calendar in Russia by decree of December 15, 1699, after which the New year was also celebrated on January 1 (instead of September 1). Caesar created a headquarters in his army, introduced the position of chief of engineers; it carried a similar transformation out under Peter, the General Staff and engineering troops appeared in the Russian army. Caesar outlined his views on the conduct of hostilities in the “Notes on the Gallic War” and “Notes on the Civil War”; Peter called his similar works “The Rules of Battle” and “The Establishment in Battle”… There are many similar coincidences, since the personalities of both “first emperors” – Caesar and Peter – coincide in the main: both of them were reformers, magnificent state, political and military leaders, administrators and diplomats. So the chain of coincidences is too long to be considered pure coincidence… great state leaders, political and military leaders, administrators and diplomats. So the chain of coincidences is too long to be considered pure coincidence… great leaders, political and military leaders, administrators and diplomats. So the chain of coincidences is too long to be considered pure coincidence…

The Saratov writer Yuri Nikitin, who published the book discovered a strange coincidence in Russian history “Tsar's Fun” about the peculiarities of Russian national hunting. It turns out that in a long line of all the Russian-Soviet top leaders of the country there were only two people who were ardent opponents of shooting at animals (everyone else, including Lenin, Stalin, Brezhnev and others, was keen to hunt). These two people – Tsar Feodor Alekseevich Romanov (1661–1682) and Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev (b. 1931) – were separated by three centuries of history, but this is the only thing that separates them. But it unites – a lot! Each ruled for 6 years; both were under strong female influence (Agafya's wives with her aunt Tatyana Mikhailovna, and three hundred years later – Raisa Maksimovna's “family party organizer” with Margaret Thatcher); both were convinced teetotalers; both fought with privileges (boyar, and then – party); both pardoned the troublemakers and returned from exile those offended by the previous government (“Pustozersk imprisoned”, and after 3 centuries – Soviet dissidents, including A. Sakharov); both ended their terms of rule in great troubles. Relying on this almost mirror-like property, Yu. Nikitin even suggested that the next such leader would appear in our country a little less than 300 years later, in the XXIII century (KP, 1998, May 22, p. 6). By the same logic, it turns out that the previous reluctant tsars in Russia had to tragically end their reign not only in the 17th and 20th centuries, but also in the XIV, XI… and so on into the depths of the centuries. However, too little is known about the leaders of that gray-haired antiquity… both pardoned the troublemakers and personally returned from exile those offended by the previous government (“Pustozersk imprisoned”, and 3 centuries later – Soviet dissidents, including A. Sakharov); both ended their terms of rule in great troubles. Relying on this almost mirror-like property, Yu. Nikitin even suggested that the next such leader would appear in our country a little less than 300 years later, in the XXIII century (KP, 1998, May 22, p. 6).

Another strange magical recurrence associated with the day on August 26 has been talked about in Russia since the 19th century, more precisely, since the end of the Battle of Borodino (August 26, 1812). The magic of this date is amazing: on August 26, 1381, Tokhtamysh Khan took Moscow, and on August 26, 1395, Tamerlane, who was marching to Moscow, suddenly turned back. On August 26, 1612, the army of Hetman Chodkevich, which went to the aid of the Poles besieged in the Kremlin, was defeated by the militia of Minin and Pozharsky, because of which Moscow was completely liberated from the invaders. On August 26, 1831, the Russian troops of Field Marshal I. Paskevich took rebellious Warsaw. On August 26, 1855 Sevastopol fell. By August 26, 1991, the August events in Moscow ended, members of the State Emergency Committee ended up in prison cells, and Mikhail Gorbachev, instead of entering Moscow on a white horse.

For a clear illustration, it is enough to refer, for example, to the following sequence of scenes from the drama of the Great Revolution:

The rotten political system of the state, considerably weakened by the “corrupting” activities of intellectuals, is finally approaching a spontaneous explosion of popular discontent. Because of a rather bloodless uprising, the hated monarch was deposed, his life was mercifully saved, power was transferred to the liberal forces. Inspired by lofty humanistic ideals, the revolutionary republic of the liberals is unable to restore order in a seething country, counterrevolutionary revolts are brewing in the provinces, and the threat of foreign intervention at the borders. In the end, power passes to the radicals, who unleash bloody terror against their own people. Along the way, wile deposed monarch is executed, at the same time they lost their lives and his wife and heir. The promoted machine of bloody violence eventually devours the organizers of the terror themselves. In the course of the action, a man of small stature, but of great charisma appears on the political scene, who brings order and establishes tyrannical power in the country. The revolution ends, the empire begins…

A very familiar picture, isn’t it? But is it a French revolution or a Russian one? Obviously, both. And there is no way to blame everything on a chain of random coincidences, because over the last couple of hundred years, more than enough examples and other impressive self-repetitions of history can be found.
