Jeffery Sachs: Two Centuries of Russophobia & Rejection of Peace
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/12/24/jeffery-sachs-two-centuries-of-russophobia-rejection-of-peace/
While other powers are presumed to have legitimate security interests that must be balanced and accommodated, Russia’s interests are presumed illegitimate. Russophobia functions less as a sentiment than as a systemic distortion — one that repeatedly undermines Europe’s own security.…

OTD in 1854, greatly outnumbered #AlliedForces defeated the army of Imperial #Russia in what #histodons call “the Soldier’s Battle” of the #CrimeanWar. It occurred in present day Inkerman, #Ukraine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Inkerman
Thankfully 🙏, #Crimea is still #Ukraine on @wikipedia and on the streets of #London. ⬇️

Hearing the Crimean War: Wartime Sound and the Unmaking of Sense
What does sound, whether preserved or lost, tell us about nineteenth-century wartime? Hearing the Crimean War: Wartime Sound and the Unmaking of Sense pursues this question through the many territories affected by the Crimean War, including Britain, France, Turkey, Russia, Italy, Poland, Latvia, Dagestan, Chechnya, and Crimea.

4. He returned home to England as a hero. He was discharged in 1861 after serving 12 years in the army. On retirement he became a jailer at York Castle.
He died in 1909, York. Buried in York Cemetery. A firing party at his funeral was provided by the 5th Royal Irish Lancers. He was a hero of Balaclava. #crimeanwar #history -
3. This young solder, one of the 17th Lancers was one of the brave 600 who rode into the “Valley of Death” during the battle of Balaclava in 1854. He was one of the trumpeters who sounded the charge.
William was just one of the few soldiers who returned from the ill-fated charge, led by Lord Cardigan. #crimeanwar #history -
2. He survived the deadly charge of the Light Brigade where he received a lance wound in his side thanks to two people helping him, his faithful horse, and the legendary Florence Nightingale. He ended up at Scutari Hospital, Turkey where he was nursed by Florence Nightingale. He subsequently volunteered for service in India where he served throughout the Mutiny. #crimeanwar #history

I didn’t know the #Sardinians had anything to do with the Crimean War until today, but apparently they sent troops too.
And also a Russian general named Khrulev proposed blowing up the city of Sevastopol and then doing a mass suicide charge into the allied positions, with the attitude of “Let everybody die! We will leave our mark upon the map!”

Russian electrical sea mines in 1854 sound like one of the most insanely dangerous things ever made, second only to Russian chemical sea mines from the same year.

“Forty US doctors were attached to the medical department of the Russian army.”
Never knew that was a thing. I’d be curious to read a memoir if any exists.

Сука блять it turns out that the Tsarist Army’s official newspaper was called Russian Invalid, at least during #Crimea.
Like…Jesus Christ, I’ve heard of bad branding, and maybe there was some religious overtone I’m not aware of, but surely one of the worst things you could do with a military paper was name it something that would remind all of the troops that they would get permanently maimed and the government wouldn’t care.

Fun fact: #Putler is not even very original in his statements:
"The #CrimeanWar was the result of #Russian demands to exercise *protection over the Orthodox subjects* of the #Ottoman sultan."Sound familiar?
In 02/22 #Putin claimed that "..."genocide" was being committed against ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, particularly in the #Donbas region...".
If "genocide" hadn't be coined in 1944 by Raphael Lemkin, Nicolas I'd surely said it 2.

I have a relative who was a cavalry soldier in the 13th Regiment of Light Dragoons. He served during the Crimean War where his regiment took part in the Charge of the Light Brigade. He was in Scutari hospital when battle took place. Imagine the day of the battle, how this man might have felt as his friends and comrades came into the hospital after the battle. A history of ordinary people where we can easily place ourselves?

#Putin’s toxic brew is pure Nicholas I
👉 He is the czar that the Russian leader most closely resembles, but also the one he most seldom mentions.

"In the essay ‘Bethink Yourself’, #Tolstoy protested not only at the mass institutionalized murder, but against the tribal ideology of #patriotism that incited hatred towards other nations and races. … As at the time of the #CrimeanWar, in which he had fought as a young officer, the government tried to buttress a collapsing political order with a ‘small and victorious #war’... #Russia was defeated.. #Revolution broke out in 1905. #books #nonfiction #bookstodon #history

Fascinating. So much resonance with today’s situation.
The Crimean War of 1853-6 saw Russia clash with an alliance of forces including Britain, France and the Ottoman empire. But what were the causes of the conflict? Why does it still exert such a hold on the Russian imagination today?
