Given the large number of discussions about the World Government, the New World Order, and various Jewish conspiracies, I will share my opinion on this matter. First, let's go back about 600 years. At that time, there was a state formation called the Grand Duchy of Tver. It lived peacefully, competing with its neighbors, supporting domestic manufacturers of bast shoes and straw, interacting with foreign countries (which at that time were more Eastern than Western), and wanted to become the mother of Russian cities. A little to the southeast was the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which, apart from its name and territorial location, did not differ much from the Grand Duchy of Tver – the same goals, the same methods, approximately the same capabilities. They were like stepbrothers vying for an inheritance – they fought in every way, using military force, cunning intrigue, and all sorts of propaganda, not shying away from slandering each other. GMOs, vaccines, and television did not exist at that time, so they looked for the machinations of the cursed Muscovites elsewhere. It all ended in 1485 when the Moscow prince Ivan III stormed Tver. And then it turned out that, apart from a small elite whose valuable resource was taken away, everyone else simply didn't care which prince they were subordinate to – the main thing was that he didn't collect too many taxes and didn't cause unrest in the territory. What would have happened if Tver had won this rivalry? Well, there would have been the Tver Ring Road instead of the Moscow Ring Road, that's the only difference. This is because by the end of the 15th century, the political and economic situation began to favor the consolidation and centralization of Russian lands – and both the elite and ordinary citizens began to understand that a unified power structure had many more advantages, both military and economic, than feudal fragmentation. Then the question was only in the form of "who exactly?". Moscow or Tver? Or maybe Novgorod? To be continued...
