Everyone, even secular women, hastened to read the history of their homeland, which was unknown to them until now. Ancient Russia seemed to be discovered by Karamzin, just as America was discovered by Columbus."
Today is the birthday of the great Russian historian and writer Nikolai Karamzin. However, the "History of the Russian State" may never have been written. "State V" in honor of the bright anniversary will tell about the incident that changed Karamzin's life forever.
Karamzin's biography contains one story from childhood that influenced his entire future life. One bright day Nikolai Kra, sat on the banks of the Volga under a spreading oak tree, forgetting about everything.
ואז הגיע ענן והתחילה סופת רעמים, אבל זה היה מאוחר מדי להימלט. קרמזין הצעיר נשאר לשבת מתחת לעץ. לפתע הופיע דוב מהיער, גם הוא נמלט מסופת הרעמים. חיית הבר רצה ישר לעבר הילד.
Surprisingly, the lightning struck the bear directly, and the animal fell dead. At that second, Karamzin decided that everything was the Lord's will. He is probably needed in this world for some reason, as divine intervention has occurred.
In the future, Karamzin became not only a famous historian, but also one of the most prominent people of his time. So it was certainly not in vain that lightning struck the bear.
