🇷🇺"Во всём свете у нас только два верных союзника - наша армия и флот, все остальные, при первой возможности, сами ополчатся против нас" Александр III
🇬🇧 “In the whole world we have only two faithful allies - our army and navy, all the rest, at the first opportunity, will take up arms against us.” Alexander III
🔻Alexander III was skeptical about assurances of friendship and initiated the refusal to participate in interstate alliances, which did not bring Russia any benefit and were sealed only by empty assurances of brotherly love on the part of the allies.
🔻For the foreign policy calmness during his reign, he received the nickname 'Миротворец' (Peacemaker), during the years of his reign, Russia did not take part in a single war.

• Битый час (phraseological unit, colloquial)
[bi-tyj chas]
SLT: Beaten hour
Meaning:
(For) a very long time, an hour or more (usually with frustration, vexation to express the opinion that an hour is a very long time to spend or waste on the matter).
For a whole/solid hour, for ages
Origin:
🔻This phrase entered literature from medieval colloquial speech with the appearance of the first clocks in Rus' in the 15th century.
🔻At first, every quarter of an hour was accompanied by the ringing of a bell.
🔻Later, large mechanical watches appeared that could produce sound on their own. Anyone who had to be near a clock for a long time constantly heard the countdown.
Example:
• Я уже битый час жду его звонка!
[ya u-zhe bi-tyj chas zhdu yi-vo zvan-ka]
🇬🇧 I've been waiting for his call for an hour now!

Раз or Один?
• Раз = one
[ras]
• Один = one
[a-din]
🔻“Раз, два, три” is really only used when counting orally.
🔻“Один, два, три” is the main way to count “one, two, three” both orally and in written form.
🔻Some people might say that counting “раз, два, три” is not grammatically correct, but the phrase is so common and familiar that it’s no use crying over that spilled milk.
🔻BTW 'Раз' сan be not only a numeral but also a noun:
• Раз (разы)
[ras (ra-zy)]
Time(s)
• Раз, два три! И она села на шпагат с первого раза!
[ ras, dva, tri, i a-na se-la na shpa-gat s per-va-va ra-za]
🇬🇧 One two, three! And she did the splits the very first time!

🔻On April 19 (8), 1783, Empress Catherine II signed the Imperial Manifesto “On the acceptance of the Crimean Peninsula, Taman Island and the entire Kuban land into the Russian Empire.”
🔻Russian territorial acquisitions were the result of the Crimean campaign of Grigory Potemkin of 1782-1783, the liquidation of the Crimean Khanate - a former vassal of the Ottoman Empire, which gained independence from Turkey and Russia as a result of the Russian-Turkish War of 1768-1774 and the abdication of the last Crimean Khan Shahin Giray.
