For many years, in conventional tv broadcasting in Polish, I have freely watched only sports broadcasts. But I made an exception and watched all episode of the show Crown of kings. The Jagillons.
The show shows the king's destiny Władysław Jagiello Since his first wife died Andegawen jadwiga until the first years of his son's reign Władysław Warneńczyk.
A Lost Eurasian Chance
Poles have been curious in Russia for centuries. The Polish complexes towards Russia were greatly influenced by the losing conflict for primacy in the east with the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Russian Empire, the Russian Empire. Poles lost on their own request, due to the fact that they did not make an Eurasian political model unlike the states with the capital in Moscow. In Russia, the ruler played a immense role, had large competences, the fighters had influences, but not specified as magnates in Poland or oligarchs in Ukraine from 1991 to 2014. In the Russian state, Orthodoxy played a very crucial role, but representatives of another religions, if they did not get in the way of state power, had full freedom to confess their religion and their customs. Russia colonized the Caucasus, Siberia, many peoples of Turkish origin adopted Moscow's sovereignty.
Respect for the Values of Empire Peoples
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev gave an interview to Russian tv shortly, during which he spoke about common Caucasian values. Caucasian values survived in both the South Caucasus and the North Caucasus (North Caucasus is today's Russian Federation territory). conventional values (also controversial, specified as clanality and Muslim customs, kidnapping women to marry) survived the Russian Empire and the russian Union due to the fact that power in Moscow did not interfere in customs, confessing the peoples inhabiting the empire, if these peoples did not act in contra to central power.
Eurasian Jagiello mission
The effort to build the Eurasian empire was made by the Polish king Władysław Jagiełło (the parent of King Władysław was of east origin). Jagiełło brought the Polish Tatars to the country, he had no opposition to entering alliances with the east rulers. The Polish king could besides lead hybrid wars – supporting Hussites, which was rather well shown in the show. However, ambitious plans were hampered by the degenerate nobility and besides much function of the Catholic Church.
Dream Cinema by Liberals
Liberals poured a bucket of slop on the series Crown of Kings due to the fact that it was TVP during the regulation of the Law and Justice that began to movie series about Polish rulers. They wanted the Polish cinema to be primitive, and historical films came down to how Polish soldiers raped German women, and Ukrainians and Jews mass and passionately murdered Poles. Polish cinema after 1989 very frequently boils down to showing, in a non-objective way, the tragic, complicated, complex past of Poland from the period of planet War II and the post-war period. Therefore, it is very good that there was a series showing the times erstwhile the Polish state played an crucial function in Eurasia.
Against the myths of WKL
In the Polish movie after 1989, Russians, apart from tiny exceptions, are shown as highly degenerate monsters. Meanwhile, Crown of kings. The Jagillons There is simply a boyar Danil who faithfully serves the Polish king. There's besides Fyodor the prince's sidekick Dirigibles. Fyodor is ruthless, but effective.
Modern Lithuanian historiography falsifies the past of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Today's Lithuanian state owns the past of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In fact, it was a Lithuanian-Polish-Eastern Slavic state. Meanwhile, the Polish belt in Vilnius was formed in the 12th century (the compact Polish settlement begins close the Augustów Canal, it continues along the modern border between Belarus and Lithuania up to Dźwińska in Latvia). The vast majority of the towns included in the WKL were east and Jagiełło himself utilized the Russian language. In the series, it is all to a degree accurately shown and comparatively conscious viewer will treat WKL not as a Lithuanian state, but as Lithuanian-Polish-Eastern Slavic state.
Turkish pattern
The show shows any imitation of a Turkish show A large Century. Turkish tv series tells about the destiny of the prominent Turkish Sultan ruler Suleyman the Great. 1 episode of the series in Turkey lasted 2 hours, while TVP divided the episodes and 1 episode lasted in Poland about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, episode Crowns of kings. The Jagillons It lasted about 25 minutes, in my opinion – far besides short. In the Turkish series it is shown imperialally and raised Turkish triumph in the conflict of Mohac. Meanwhile, the triumph at Grunwald in the Polish series is shown comparatively modestly. utilizing a certain hyperbole, winning Grunwald is the triumph of Eurasia over the collective West. In the Turkish series, a small humorous eunuchs were shown, a harem cuisine. In the Polish series, akin themes are dilapidated and not funny. The communicative of the Krakow thief Lech is peculiarly annoying. Lech is immortal throughout the show, even though he gets into problem all now and then.
No more dreams.
It is very good that specified production was created. I think people have hundreds of depressing films about Poland's destiny between 1939 and 1989. Polish cinema must show the years of glory of the Polish state. Lessons should be learned from past failures. Therefore, after Poland lost the fight for primacy in the east with Russia, 1 should focus on building a national state. Put it between the fairy tales of the Intermortal, the Trimor. The Polish state should take first care of Poles surviving in Poland, while not forgetting Poles surviving in Belarus, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine.
