kot_kam...что Чудское озеро по-английски будет Lake Peipus. Ну, видимо, потому что по-эстонски оно "Пейпси". Вон оно как, век живи - век учись! Ведь ни за что бы не подумал.
(Вспомнил кошмар Хельсинки, где все названия, включая станции метро - на двух языках, финском и шведском. И нет, они даже отдаленно не похожи. Вообще ничего общего. ;-) Разные языковые семьи патамушта).
April 5, 1242 : Battle of Lake Peipous in Northern Europe. The Prince of Novgorod, Alexander Nevsky, wins a decisive victory over the Teutonic order.
This page shows the story of the famous "Battle of the Ice" on April 5, 1242 which saw the victory of the Russian troops led by Alexander Nevsky, who was barely 20 years old.
Illuminated Chronicle of Ivan the Terrible, Laptev volume: Life of Alexander Nevsky
Between 1568 and 1576 Ivan the Terrible, Tsar of Russia, ordered the compilation of an illustrated history of Russia—a monumental project in the form of an illuminated chronicle (Licevoj letopisnyj svod).
In 1223, the armies of Genghis Khan invaded Rus' and defeated the Russian princes at the Battle of the Kalka River on May 31, 1223. The Mongols returned in 1237, and the Russian principalities fell one after the other, coming under the domination of the Mongols who settled on the banks of the Volga, where they established their rallying point: the Golden Horde. Only the north and Novgorod escaped the Mongol raids, but were threatened by the Swedes and the Teutonic Knights.
Alexander Nevsky, Prince of Novgorod, consolidated his power through an alliance with the Mongols of the Golden Horde; he defeated the Swedes at the Battle of the Neva in 1240, and the Teutonic knights on the ice of Lake Peipus in 1242. The Mongol conquest marks a definitive break with the artistic traditions of Kievan Rus', which came under the influences of the vast and variegated Mongol Empire; the traditions survived nonetheless, evolving in the northern and central regions while devastated Kiev fell into decline. Metropolitan Maxim abandoned the city in 1299, seeking refuge in Vladimir.
In 1240, after taking possession of Koporye and Pskov, the Teutonic knights invaded the Republic of Novgorod. Alexander reclaimed Koporye then liberated Pskov. He attacked the knights' territories, but troops from Riga crushed the Russian vanguard, which retreated to Lake Peipus. Both sides then prepared for a decisive battle on the frozen lake. Believing victory to be at hand, the heavily armed Teutonic knights pursued Alexander over the ice, which cracked under their weight. They suffered a crushing defeat, and had to relinquish their conquests.

Кстати, города в Бельгии могут иметь 3 "хорошо известных" — и разных — названия.

Ага, когда ты едешь в поезде и слушаешь объявления, причем знаешь, что тебе надо на станцию Вяйвяйвяйнен, а объявляют станцию Хрюхен, а пока ты сообразил, что это она и есть, двери уже закрываются...

Date: 2022-04-05 11:38 am (UTC)Как-то я постил фото сингапурской таблички "проход запрещён" на четырёх тамошних государственных языках. Из четырёх разных ни разу не связанных семей. Тремя разными системами письма (латиница всё-таки используется двумя из них). А для тех, кто вообще читать не умеет -- наглядный рисунок охранника с ружьём и положенного на землю нарушителя.
