Is it from "Chinese synchronous practice"?

340 kilometers east of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, there is a small town with beautiful scenery-poltava. The sparkling Volterra River passes around the city, and the city is surrounded by endless green plains. The shady street garden adds peace and warmth to the town. However, about 300 years ago, there was a fierce battle that shocked Europe, and poltava became famous for it.

1700, Russian czar Peter I launched a 2 1 year northern war against Sweden for the Baltic Sea. At the beginning of the war, the young Swedish king Carl XII led the "invincible division" and defeated the ambitious Peter many times.

Get a lifetime. After summing up the lessons of failure, Peter I reorganized the army when Karl XII moved to Poland, sent troops again, and induced the Swedish army eager for a decisive battle to go deep into Ukraine alone. 1709 In June, the Swedish army, which had been unable to attack for a long time and was constantly harassed by the Russian army, came to the gates of poltava. At this time, the elite division of 7 10000 under the command of Karl XII has been reduced to 27,000, and the long-awaited more than 40,000 Russian troops have already built layers of fortifications. On June 27th, the battle of poltava started. In the battle, Peter I showed excellent military command ability, and the Russian army wiped out the most powerful Swedish army in Europe at a very small cost. After this campaign, Sweden has been unable to compete with Russia on the European continent, and Peter I has also brought his country into the ranks of European powers.

Now, walking in poltava, you can still feel the breath of war, and many historical sites in the city are closely related to this battle. In the circular square in the center of the city stands a tall and magnificent glorious monument. This bronze monument was built in 1809 to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of poltava 100. The monument is cylindrical, with a spire, and a golden eagle on the top of the monument is flying, symbolizing that Russia is integrating into Europe and becoming rich and strong under the leadership of Peter I; The monument is carved with armor and weapons used by the first regular army in Russian history; The 18 artillery under the monument showed the world the great power of that new Russian army.

The church of the Savior, where Peter I rested before the battle, still remains in this city. It is said that before the battle began, Peter I prayed for victory here and swore an oath with the defenders of the whole city to fight the enemy to the end. In the square outside the church, there is a monument built in 1849. On the top of the monument, the bronze helmets, swords and shields of the Russian army shine against the laurel wreath. The main body and pedestal of the monument are exquisitely carved with a double-headed eagle and a lion, showing the glory and dreams of Peter the Great (see above, photo taken by Tan Wu Jun).

Poltava, with a population of only 320,000, has seven museums of different styles, the most famous of which is the poltava Battle Site Museum, which is located on the grave road in Sweden and attracts more than 200,000 tourists every year. An obelisk of 1 1 was erected on the ancient battlefield site covering an area of 300 hectares to commemorate 1345 Russian soldiers who died here. The museum has a large collection of weapons, combat uniforms, operational regulations and military documents used by the Russian and Swiss armies. One of the most precious is the lathe used by Peter I, the sleeveless coat worn by Peter I and so on. The oil paintings reflecting the war situation in the museum are magnificent and lifelike. Standing in front of the painting, I can't help but think of the war scene described by Pushkin in his last romantic poem "poltava": "A new sunrise rises in the east, and guns are rumbling on the hills of the plain, and pieces of fire are soaring. Facing the morning glow, the troops began to camp, gunshots came from the bushes, shells roared past, bullets buzzed, and cold bayonets were already on the guns. " While describing the magnificent battle scene, Pushkin also enthusiastically praised Peter the Great in his poem: "He came like a god, he was radiant, … On the battlefield, he flew past the army, as happy and dignified as a god of war … In the hearts of the people of the great northern countries, in his fate of fighting south and north, only you, the hero of poltava, built a monument for yourself."
