  1. Even as a Yank I understand that Russia cannot quit the Crimean .. Too much blood spilled over too long a period of time to let international banker cartels have it with the Ukraine. History trully does repeat itself. Nice site thank you.

  2. Did any of the Guard regiments carry blanket rolls instead of packs during the Crimean War?
