[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol: [qb] Mike111 and IronLion. Thanks for this education. I really did not know about this. [/qb][/QUOTE]Troll Patrol - I think that you miss the point: our point isn't that they're Black, that was already well known. The point is that THEY were the "NATIVE" people/rulers and the Russ (Slavs) were the new people - immigrants. From your link: Gannibal: The moor of Petersburg, was a black African. In 1727 to Ganibal (spelt with a single "n"), gesturing towards Hannibal, the great Carthaginian general and [b]fellow African.[/b] Repatriated for his engineering skills in 1730, his career resumed its momentum. He flourished during the reign of Peter's daughter Elizabeth I, saw promotion to the rank of major-general and was made governor-general of Revel in Estonia. He married Eudoxia Dioper, the daughter of a Greek adventurer. Her infidelity led to a notorious divorce and allegations that, as a slave-owner and wife-owner, Ganibal was exceptionally cruel even by the standard of the day. Soviet apologists for this side of his character argued that it reflected his frustration and anger at the racial discrimination he suffered as a black man (to some degree attested by a reference in a surviving legal document where his first wife complains that "the blackamoor (arap) is not of our ethnicity"). http://www.powells.com/review/2005_10_02.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Troll Patrol - You links are the typical Albino revisionist bullsh1t - did you not read them?[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
