A curious fact:
🔻The abolition of serfdom in Russia in 1861, carried out during the reign of Alexander II, coincided with the beginning of the American Civil War (1861-1865), where the fight to abolish slavery is considered its primary cause.

Did you know that Завтрак & Завтра are of the same origin?
🔻A well-known source, "Fasmer's Etymological Dictionary," provides information that the word "завтрак"-[zaf-trak]-breakfast originated from the word "завтра"-[zaf-tra]-tomorrow.
🔻Both words ultimately derive from the word "утро"-[ut-ra]-morning. The key is that in the 16th century, the word was spelled with the letter "о" - "завтрокъ", and in Old Russian it was written as "заутрокъ". The etymological dictionary clarifies that the word "заутрокъ" was formed using the suffix "к" from the expression "за утра".
🔻Over time, this expression acquired the meaning of "on the next morning" and then "on the next day," leading to the loss of its original meaning. Thus, "завтрак" is what is eaten in the morning.

The first kopecks were minted in Novgorod in 1535. Elena Glinskaya, mother of Ivan the Terrible, initiated a reform establishing a standardized size and weight for the new coins.
🔻During the 14th and 15th centuries, the kopeck featured a warrior with a копьё (spear), which gave the coin its name.
🔻In 1655, the kopeck was made from copper. However, following the Copper Riot of 1662, copper minting was halted for 40 years.
🔻Until the 18th century, kopecks were small and irregular, made by cutting wire into pieces and hammering them into shape.
🔻Peter the Great introduced a decimal monetary system: one ruble equaled 10 grivenniks or 100 kopecks.
🔻In 1726, under Catherine I, the kopeck was made square, mimicking Swedish coins. But this shape proved impractical.
🔻During World War I, the kopeck itself became a paper currency with watermarks.
🔻In 1926, the kopeck weighed one gram.
🔻Over time, the kopeck has been made from copper, bronze, and brass.
