THE LEGACY OF THE NEW NOVEL IS SHARED AGAIN

“Despite the political weakness of the declining Byzantine Empire, its collapse left a great void, which was quickly filled as others began to claim different aspects of Byzantium:

*Byzantium's classical antiquity passed to the West;

*The Ottomans took over their imperial destiny;

*It was up to the Russians to reshape their political ideology.”

Michael Angold, “Constantiniye 1453”[1]

New Rome:

All Roads Lead to Rome! “Omnibus viis Romam pervenitur” “All roads lead to Rome”

This Rome has been Istanbul since at least 330.

Rome was not yet divided into two when it was the only capital of all Rome.

In addition, since the idiom was first identified in the middle ages, all roads lead to Istanbul.

The New Rome, named after its founder Constantine. It remained Constantinople until it became Istanbul. The new Rome was also used for the Ottoman Empire after Mehmet the Conqueror. Because the imperial destiny of Rome had passed to the Great Ottoman Empire.

Its political ideology was embraced by the Orthodox Russians, and the Classical Antiquity philosophy heritage was embraced by the Westerners.

Moscow called itself III: Rome, but it did not hold.

When the Great Turkish State collapsed, the old legacy of the New Rome was shared again.

The imperial legacy passed on to the Ottoman Empire was sought to be shared between the West and Russia.

The First and Second World Wars were the quarrel of this legacy.

The 21st Century Will Be a Century of Peace:

Two separate World Wars took place at the beginning and middle of the twentieth century because of this legacy.

Our generation said that there is a world that has learned from these disasters, and that the 21st century will be a century of peace.

At this level of civilization, there is no more war.

But it didn't.

Serbian Slavs committed genocide in Bosnia. West remained silent.

Kosovo survived this genocide with concessions.

Bill Clinton Democrats prevented an unfinished genocide in Bosnia and a possible genocide in Kosovo.

This indicated that the 21st Century will not be the Age of Peace.

As a matter of fact, despite the one and a half genocides prevented in Europe, the USA was either the main actor or the silent spectator of the occupations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria.

North of the Black Sea and Ukraine

In the northern basin of the Black Sea, the Scythian confederation, which was not a single ethnic group and called Saka in the east, emerged.

This period lasted 2500 years.

The Proto Turkish period, like the period of Genghis Khan, covered the north of the Black Sea and Eastern Europe.

“All the tribes seen after the Scythians will be called Scythians for a long time. Hun and Turk expressions were also used for followers who resembled them. … Scythians; They emerged as a large tribe that started the cavalry revolution and reached Central Europe from the north of the Black Sea. They are the first examples of mounted warriors.”[2]

Attila, who drove the Goths to the West, and the European Hun State, Sabars, Avars, Bulgarians, Romans, Khazars, Alans, Bashkirs, Pechenegs, Uzs, Cumans-Kipchaks, Varyags, Golden Horde, Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire and Tatars throughout the history of the Russians in the Black Sea and partly Ukraine He kept it away from his geography.

As a matter of fact, “XIII. from the middle of the XV century. Russian society, which was under the Tatar yoke until the end of the century, turned into a society with rich traditions under the guidance of the Church.[3]”

Black Sea and Russians:

Dr. More (2022) “Tsar'grad (Istanbul) has always been an attractive center for Russia. The road to this attractive center has been closed to the Russians for a long time by various Turkish tribes or States that hold the north of the Black Sea.

Again, according to him, "Russian Tsar Peter I, who focused on the goal of "going down to the warm seas", reached the Black Sea coast for the first time in history by capturing the Azov castle, which is considered the lock of the Black Sea, in 1696 and met the warm sea.

Before that, there were no Russians in the Black Sea.

The legacy of the New Novel was the subject of the West-Turkish-Russian division, as above, together with the Conquest.

For the first time, this old heritage was wanted to be shared again 169 years ago.

Ideology also wanted imperial power:

“Russia offered an alliance to the Ottoman State and suggested that the protection of the Orthodox living within the borders of this state should be left to Russia. The Ottoman Empire rejected the Russian demands.”[5]

Crimean War:

And the Crimean War broke out. 1853.

The West did not give Russia both of the ancient legacy of the New Novel.

Because he did not want to leave Russia or Russia if he could not take anything other than the Orthodox ideology, which he could not own due to his Catholicism and Protestantism.

1856 documented this.

The Ottoman alliance with the West had won.

The balance was disturbed but not disturbed.

Ethnicity of Ukraine

The Ambassador of Ukraine to Austria, with whom we talked on one occasion 15-20 years ago, Mr. I asked Volodymyr Yelchenko: “Are the Ukrainians Russians?” saying.

He had said "no". “We are a mixture of Varyak (Viking), Slavic, Turk (Caspian, Pecheneg, Cuman-Kipchak, Hun-Ogur, Tatar) and even Persian-Arab”

The warrior Kozaks, known as Kazaki in Russian and Cossacks in English, are also called Kazakhs in Turkish, and the word that comes from Turkish has two definite meanings: "free person" and "warrior".

According to the representatives of the theory called Cossacks or "Kazakh science", the Cossacks are a separate ethnos. It is composed of a mixture of Turan, Scythian, Meoto-Slavic, Alan and other tribes (Gubarev, 1968: 228)… Christian Khazar and Orthodox Kipchaks also take part in the formation of this ethnos.”[6] [7]. Moreover, the northern shores of the Black Sea, Thracian, Scythian, Cimmerian, Uz, Caspian, Bolkar, Alan, Pecheneg, Kipchak, Tatar-Mongol, Timur land. “Whoever digs up a Ukrainian, a Turk will come out” [8]

The group, which is often called the Russian Cossacks because they fight for the Russians, is the toughest resistance in Ukraine today… They refuse to be Slavicized.

Moscow's Invasion of Ukraine

Moscow has long been using three weapons in the north of the Black Sea, in the Caucasus and the Balkans, to "descend to the warm seas"[9]: "military power", "Slavicization", "Christianization".

These imperial dreams are the source of the saying “A bear does not make a friend from Muscovy”.

Interestingly, one of the people with whom Turkish people get along best is the Russians. For this reason, he did not say that he would not be friendly with the Russians. It was unfriendly Russian expansionism and assimilation.

This is exactly why Moscow invaded Ukraine: to increase the dwindling population through assimilation and occupation. Otherwise, one-eighth of the world's population is more than enough for the peoples of Russia, whose population has fallen to 140 million.

Is the Imperial and Ideological Legacy of the New Rome Shared Again?

The West, which took the classical Antiquity protection of Byzantium, also took over the imperial fate left to the Ottomans to some extent.

The Russians, who reshaped the political ideology of the new Rome, were not satisfied with this situation. It also wants to collapse on the imperial legacy.

Dominating Ukraine as well as Syria, Georgia and Chechnya and seeing the capital of the 3rd Roman in New Rome is the Nirvana of Muscovite.

The economic cost of this Muscovite is unknown, but "There is also a choice of bulgur on hand when going to Dimiata rice".

The New Rome: Ecumenopolis, the Endless City

The ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople is presented as the Archdiocese of New Rome and primus inter pares -first of equals. Moreover, he is recognized as the representative and spiritual leader of 300 million Orthodox Christians worldwide.[10] Ukraine, Montenegro, Netherlands, Greece Orthodox Churches want to be included in the Fener Greek Patriarchate of Istanbul. “Churches direct their congregations especially about national identity and support the Greek Church (Fener Greek Patriarchate) in Istanbul, which is subject to the laws of the Republic of Turkey, by global powers in order to form a faith front (or break the existing one) in the Balkans and Eastern Europe[11]”.

However, this is against the Lausanne agreement. “Ecumenism is incompatible neither with the Constitution and laws of the secular Turkish State nor with the Treaty of Lausanne.”[12]

While Moscow dreams of imperial dreams, it is about to lose the ideological legacy of the New Rome.

If Lausanne is full of holes and Muscovy continues, there will be nothing left for the Russians but a "caliphate"!...
