Why did the Moscow prince Ivan I Danilovich get the nickname Kalita?

In 1328, the Moscow prince Ivan Danilovich, as a reward for pacifying the uprising in Tver against the Tatar tribute collectors (Baskak), received from the Khan of the Golden Horde a label for the great reign of Vladimir, along with the right to collect tribute from the Russian principalities.

Ivan Danilovich was a cruel and cunning ruler, smart and stubborn in achieving his goals. He mercilessly suppressed popular discontent caused by heavy requisitions, and dealt with political opponents - other Russian princes.

The influence of Ivan Danilovich extended to a number of lands of North-Eastern Russia (Tver, Pskov, Novgorod, etc.). Collecting huge tribute for the Golden Horde, he accumulated great wealth (hence his nickname Kalita, meaning purse, money bag), which he used to buy land in other people's possessions. Under Ivan Danilovich, the residence of the metropolitan was transferred to Moscow from Vladimir, which was of great importance, since the church enjoyed great ideological and political influence.

The activities of the Grand Duke of Vladimir Ivan I Danilovich Kalita contributed to the laying of the foundations of the political and economic power of Moscow and the beginning of the economic recovery in Russia.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why is September the ninth of the year, although it literally means the seventh?

September is the ninth month, but its name is derived from the Latin word "septem", which means "seven". Similarly, the names of October, November and December come from the Latin numbers 8, 9 and 10. The fact is that in ancient Rome the year was counted from the first of March, and the names of the months corresponded to serial numbers. And under Julius Caesar, the beginning of the calendar was pushed back to January XNUMX, but they did not rename the months.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

When boarding a flight, show a working gadget 08.07.2014

Those who regularly travel around the world should familiarize themselves with the new order of the American Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Now, in order to get on board an aircraft bound for the United States, you will have to demonstrate the functionality of your tablet, smartphone, laptop, or any other mobile device.

According to them, the TSA leadership took forced measures when passengers passed control for subsequent boarding the plane. Now one of the prerequisites for getting on the flight will be a demonstration of the possibility of switching on and operating electronics. If the battery is accidentally discharged and the device does not turn on in any way, then serious troubles can await you, up to and including removal from the flight.

This wording of the new requirements for passengers, at first glance, although it sounds rather strange, but has real reasons. The rules introduced by the TSA are designed to help detect potentially dangerous electronics, in the case of which a terrorist passenger could build an explosive device to carry out a terrorist attack.

U.S. national security intelligence has revealed that radical terrorist groups from Yemen and Syria may use the practice of disguising miniature bombs as conventional mobile devices, allowing them to be carried on planes without undue suspicion.

Checking for inclusion will make it possible to make sure that at least the main part of the original components is present inside the smartphone / tablet / laptop, and not explosives. The rule should include international airports that provide air transportation to the United States. True, at this stage, representatives of the American intelligence services did not specify in which countries and for how long additional precautionary measures will be introduced.

In the event that your device turned out to be faulty and you cannot demonstrate its operability, it will be seized for storage by the airport staff. You, as the owner of a potentially dangerous device, the security service has every right to refuse to board the plane.
