The moment of glory of the Russian nation November 1612 is the real moment of glory of the nation. The country was in ruins, the government was lying in the street, and then a coalition of businessmen, volunteers, civil activists, volunteers and militias arrives - and turns itself into the savior of the homeland. There is an enemy garrison in the capital, the government is kissing its boots. And then it turns out that we ourselves can do a surprising amount. Create a working tax system, build an army on top of it, use the army to drive the bastards out of the heartland, hold competitive popular elections, and as a result, conclude a new social contract between the people and the government. Furthermore, Minin and Pozharsky are also an example of how "do it as usual, everything will be fine". They did not try to save on equipment for the fighters. They did not try to pull the blanket over themselves and usurp power. They foiled the corruption plans in their camp and hanged the looters. And they won. Glory to Russia!
