Russia’s potential is incredible, its history awesome, as is its future, if people work together with direction, acting for the good of the country. Prior to the engineered Oil and Financial Crisis, created by nameless countries, Russia was intelligently on the right track. It appeared then and especially now not many are interested in putting aside personal motives of greed, at various levels. This could also be termed “discontentment” feelings from the Tsarist times bred into people. This appears to be a national attitude.

Uniting attitudes and goals into a national effort will enable Russia to progress to a justly deserved leadership roll in the world. This is crucial, in the very near future. There is a strong and somewhat progressive leadership in Russia, which should be aware and has understandings which can initiate these ideals for an independent Russia, where its people respect the county.

Russia has been a simple country wanting to be left alone. Throughout history Russian people existed with little outside influence for centuries. A short problem with Napoleon and back to business as usual. Later serious changes were prearranged by others into moving Russia into the 20th Century for good or bad.

In the 1700’s Russia imported foreign specialists to build ships. 300 years later the issue comes up again, to export ship building projects to other countries. Since Russia can not build quality ships and other systems for its military.

Nicholas II ruled industrialization and innovation in Russia. Among his other problems, the Russian Japanese War. An attempt was made to distract the populace, rallying patriotism and acquiring warm water ports. Russia attempted to wrestle Korea and Manchuria away from Japan.

The Battle of Tsushima 1905, 21 ships, all the battle ships and most of the destroyers of the Russian Navy were lost by sinking or capture. The epic voyage of 30,000 km to enter the battle started badly and continued. Many of new ships quickly and incompletely left the ship yards unprepared for what was ahead. Due to the distance and having no where to replenish all ships were loaded to maximum. There were groundings in local waters. Some of the lower decks were awash. Much of the armor sides were under the waterline. When there was a cannon hit, there was no protection. The ships fought valiantly.

Innovation. of the 1700’s, British Admiral Nelson’s crossing the “T” tactic was adopted by the Japanese in 1905. The Czar was heard asking why this Nelson sunk his ships. Russia was fighting the Japanese. The Japanese were heard saying Russian gunnery was disgusting.
