I'm going to go. He's a sures, yes,

a ras, it yes shawras.

We're hush a hush. Welcome to the Russian rulers podcast. Today's episode will be a slapshot podcast. The reason is is because, well, I really

wanted to become a Russian history professor and that would have been my

avocation. Fortunately, I've got to pay the bills in order to buy the books in order to do this

podcast and it's been taking me away from being able to put together a good enough script

so that I could represent it to you. But today what we're going to do

is go over a little bit on something that Peter the third did, who was the predecessor to

Catherine the Great and who ruled Russia for just a few months.

But what's amazing is there were a few things that he did during this time that was, had a very

big impact on Russia.

I'd like to go over that which is the

called the manifesto freeing the nobility from compulsory service. Now before I

get into this I'd like to thank a listener didn't get your name sorry about that but

You did present a couple of questions to me first off. What is the name of the song that starts the Russian rulers podcast?

Well, the name of it is called the Volga Boatsong.

It is a very well-known song in Russia.

It's a very old one about people pulling these boats down the Volga River.

So it's, this one was sung by the Soviet Red Army Choir.

Also the other question that asked me is when I end my show I say,

Das Vidanya is a placebo bojoia.

I wanted to know what that meant and what it means is goodbye and thank you very much.
