Of course, there was a lot of backlash from the aristocratic class, and the revolutionaries were also turned into enemies because they were loyal to the Romanov dynasty, but they all ended in a bloody purge and after winning many wars in a row, Russia stabilized.

A person who is comparable to Peter the Great in many ways, for reference, he was quite a cut-off even by the standards of the time. He also had a very handsome face, which is related to his most famous passage, the female side. His female side will be discussed later.

It is unknown who Mikhail’s parents were. However, according to the records left in various handicrafts, Mikhail’s family lost their life while participating in the Donghak Peasant Movement, and there are records that he was also a member of the aristocratic family, but these are all Russian records, and there are no records in Korea.

There is Kim Gae-nam of the Dogang Kim clan who was beheaded in connection with the Donghak Peasant Movement.

And among them was Mikhail, who, after several days of struggling, stopped the Crown Prince’s bleeding by a method for which no exact method remained.

Admired by this, Nicholas II gave him the title of physician and count on the spot, after which he stayed in the Winter Palace.

After that, until just before World War I, Mikhail gradually expanded his position within the imperial palace.

2.3. World War I

Immediately after the Sarajevo incident, he strongly protested against participation in the war in front of the emperor, but when Nicholas II decided to participate in the war due to the strong demands of the military, he formed a separate division using the police force of the Russian Empire, received the rank of brigadier general of the Russian Empire, and was sent to the front. . Afterwards, he led his troops in the Battle of Tarnov and played an active role, completely thwarting the German offensive on the southern front. For the progress of the Battle of Tarnov, see the article.

Afterwards, he moved to the Ottoman Front, commanded the Constantinople Offensive, defeated the Ottoman Empire and advanced to Constantinople, where Christians rose up in Constantinople, and a total solar eclipse in Constantinople, with a legend that it would not collapse while the moon was rising. As a result of this happening, the Ottoman Empire’s army, completely demoralized, is destroyed.

Driven by that momentum, he was active throughout the war, such as advancing to Jerusalem, and when the German Black Red Civil War broke out, he took the lead and advanced to Berlin, occupied Berlin and officially surrendered, and played a role in the negotiations at the end of the war in The Hague. Just as he opposed the start of the war to the end, he was also a moderate party in The Hague until the very end, arguing strongly that the German Empire should not be inflicted with revenge and should be rehabilitated as members of the international community by not paying excessive reparations to them. Meanwhile, during this time, she became engaged to Tatiana Nikolaevna Romanova and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

2.4. Russian-Republic of China War,

When it was discovered that the Republic of China was behind the nomads who rebelled against Russia in Central Asia, they invaded China, and the Chinese warlords were defeated and defeated by Russia’s elite troops, which resulted in the complete collapse of the Beiyang government of the Republic of China. did. Meanwhile, during the war, an attempted coup in St. Petersburg takes place. After the war, she breaks her marriage with Tatiana and marries Olga Nikolaevna Romanova, the regent of the Empire.

2.5. World War II

The Russian Empire’s forces were victorious and victorious, finally overthrowing Germany and Britain and landing on the British mainland, ending the Axis powers in Europe. Afterwards, as agreed in the Stockholm Pact with the United States, and for revenge in the Russo-Japanese War, on March 13, 1942, war was declared on the Japanese Empire and the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation was launched, and on October 1, 1942, the Russian Empire’s first He succeeded in the nuclear test and played a part in the downfall operation and decorated the end of the Japanese Empire.

2.6. cold war

The Second World War ended when the Japanese Empire announced its intention to surrender on May 27, 1943, and Japan signed the surrender document on June 6, 1943, but the two main Allied Powers began a confrontation over the post-war order.

Russia occupied virtually all countries east of Germany, and could occupy a large part of Asia. However, this leads to confrontation between the United States and Russia, which is called the Cold War.

At the end of the war, Mikhail’s power was already absolute. Although tens of millions of people died worldwide, the number of casualties in Russia was less than 1 million. On the contrary, by the 1950s, the industrial production capacity was several times higher than before the war, and it achieved tremendous growth.

The Russian Empire, which competed for supremacy with the United States throughout Asia and Europe, defeated the United States in the Chinese Civil War, which signaled the start of the Cold War, and was pushed back in the Japanese Revolutionary War with the victory of Pyrrhus. Successfully ousted the United States from all parts of Asia.

He also consolidated dominance in Europe and Africa, such as defeating the Anglo-French Empire with the German army at the forefront in the Alsace War and forcibly absorbing it as a CDP. jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

2.7. idolization and deification

If we had a war like this, we were able to secure power and build achievements in a streak of winning streak, so the people around us looked closer to worshiping Sue. Couldn’t stop it from going out.

In civil wars in Southeast Asia, Africa, India and China, there were countless warlords claiming to be the children of the emperor, and Afghanistan and Persia, which were ruled by Russia, hoped to be incorporated into the Russian Empire ruled by Timur’s second coming as one province. After that, Persia and Afghanistan were absorbed by Russia.

Especially in Asia, his worship was literally absolute. Even reading it now, there’s a lot of stuff that’s very sloppy.

This wave of worship did not stop even after his death. In the case of the Russian Empire, the succession law was overhauled, effectively depriving all members of the Romanov family who did not inherit Mikhail’s lineage to succeed. have.

In addition, Mikhail’s illegitimate child, the only recognized non-Imperial family, the Kim family was treated as a de facto quasi-emperor who could use the title of Grand Duchess in Russia. He was crowned as the royal family of Serbia.

2.8. End of year

The exact time is unknown, but starting in the late 1960s, he started to organize the succession structure. By 1970, he had resigned from most of the public service and held only honorary positions.

He died on July 8, 1978 at the age of 85 with his family gathered. His wife Olga Nikolaevna Romanova also passed away on August 9, 1978, exactly 32 days after being old, and Victor was crowned emperor after a coronation.

3. Evaluation

3.1 Hero or Dictator

In the historiography of countries other than Russia and Asian countries, praise for being a great hero such as Alexander and a hero of unearned money coexists with criticism for being a slayer and a dictator.

However, for better or for worse, it cannot be denied that he was the person who completely ended Russia and the whole world, heralded the complete end of modernity, and looked into the distant future. The symbol of this is the Iron Curtain speech in Berlin.

He argued that maintaining the world as a two-axis system was the most stable, and he established a joint defense treaty and economic cooperation system to guard against and suppress nationalism and religious extremism, even if the 21st century world order itself could not be established without them. It has become so important that it is not an exaggeration to say. Also, the freedom from slaughter, deprivation, fear and tyranny that he proclaimed became the basis of the modern international legal system.

Not only the rosy future that could arise from technological development, but also the problems that could arise from this were also seen and predicted first, and police nationalism and social welfare were suggested as countermeasures. In other words, it is to catch those who try to abuse technology through police nationalism, and to present an active social safety net for those who are harmed by technology. The argument that the government must have flexibility in order not to be abandoned in the midst of technological development also comes out as an extension of this.

Some argue that his ideas are variations of Bonapartism, but considering that all ideas eventually develop by exchanging influences with those before him, this is not an area to be criticized.

Unusually as a tyrannical monarch, he was a believer in the social contract theory, and warned that the state that forgets that all power, monarch or republic, comes from the people will pay a price. The primary American civil war was proven.

In the military aspect, he had a profound influence on the concept and system of war that continued into the 21st century, such as establishing the early meta of mobile warfare using tanks and aircraft and proposing the concept of an assault rifle, which is why he is still revered as a god of war. . In other words, it was not just a person who fought well, but changed the concept and method of war itself.

3.2. women’s work

The biggest human flaw that will remain in the future generations, and another reason that made him a legend.

His legal wife was only Empress Olga until the moment of her death, but he had relationships with numerous women and spread numerous illegitimate children throughout Europe.

There are a lot of women who are rumored to be dating him, such as royalty, nobles, famous actresses, etc., but if you choose only the one you have recognized,

1. Tanya Nikolaevna Romanova.

Her first fiancée and first love, the younger sister of Empress Olga, had several children, including Archduke Nicholas, who later became co-king of Great Britain-France. The most easily justified case is that in the first place, Princess Tatiana did not end her relationship with her former lover because she married Olga for political reasons as a de facto relationship before marriage.

2. Maria Nikolaevna Romanova

Second sister of Empress Olga. She is the mother of Archduke Nikita, a representative war hero of the Second World War.

3. Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova

4. Empress Victoria Louise of the German Empire.

Her son, Ernst von Hohenzollern, and her descendants inherit the German Empire.

5. Sophie von Habsburg

The eldest daughter of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the first Empress of the New Austro-Hungarian Empire and victim of the Sarajevo Incident. They have been in a relationship since the time of the Queen of Hungary, and she and Prince Janos von Habsburg and their descendants inherit the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

6. Irina

As the only non-Imperial person among his lovers officially recognized by Mikhail, he served as Mikhail’s secretary from a young age and also served as the head of the FSB. Her descendants were given the status of the Grand Duchess Kim, and during the Serbian Civil Revolution, there was a movement to make the Grand Duchess Kim the royal family of Serbia.

4. Others

Mikhail, engraved on the 1 ruble banknote, is printed with a figure from the First World War.

It is also famous for being very fond of meteorites. It is famous that he made and used his own ceremonial pistol with meteorite, and after World War II, he used a meteorite obtained from England to decorate the interior of the Russian imperial vehicle. This meteorite decoration is torn off and recycled whenever the vehicle is changed.

As a great reader, he is said to have enjoyed reading and writing numerous articles as well. However, it is a pity that all of his manuscripts are designated as state secrets of the Russian Empire and can only be read by members of the royal family.

A more famous nickname than his real name is Vostok, which means East. Therefore, in translations of the original books in the 1990s, the title was often referred to as ‘Eastern Prince’.

Although he was from Korea, he did not often show affection for Korea. Later, according to the memoirs of Archduke Nikita, his father’s feelings for Korea seemed close to love and hatred.

He said he had a very bad sleeping habit. He said that late at night works better, so he works until late at night, but he has to work during the day as well, such as digesting event schedules, so he always lacks sleep, so it is said that he slept very often.

The peculiar thing about eating habits was that he hated fish very much, he hated eating raw, he also hated meat sashimi, sashimi, oysters, and sushi, and he rarely ate seafood, but the only exception was caviar. He said he enjoyed it very much as a side dish with vodka. However, I didn’t like the drink itself. Rather, it is said that he was closer to a person who hated alcohol, but it seems he was generous in drinking alcohol, asking Nicholas II to lift the prohibition on the grounds that only the moonsmiths were satisfied and that the liquor tax could not be collected, which would damage the finances. Of course, the non-compulsory sobriety campaign continues today, but considering the drinking situation in the Russian Empire, it is helpful… There is a joke that even Vostok did not take vodka from Russians in the Russian Empire.

However, apart from the fact that there was a lot of food covered, he never complained about the food, but when he decided that it was okay, he said that he enjoyed the food very much. I tend to eat while looking for German and French food, and I tend to like spicy, oily, sweet and salty foods.

5. Mass Media

It is not an exaggeration to say that it must appear in creations dealing with the Eastern Front of World War I and World War II. See World Wars/Creations.

Appears in his youthful form in the Assassin’s Creed series, see section for details

In 2010, a film about his life was released, titled Vostok. He tried several new techniques, but failed disastrously, and the box office failed… The 2026 film was a huge hit in the opposite direction.

An essential element in the Great Man Series or alternative historical novels dealing with the 20th century.

6. Phrases

“To all the workers and peasants who produced military supplies day and night, to the parents who raised them, and to all the subjects of the empire infinite glory to And an infinite tribute to the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom and happiness of all who inhabit the Empire, from the smallest to the greatest, in the fight against the foes that threaten the freedom and peace of the world.” – Declaring the end of World War II

“The United States should know that the arrogance that it is the only nation with the most powerful weapon in the world, nuclear weapons, is over. We developed nuclear weapons before you, and we have nuclear warheads that perform better than yours, and we have the ability to drop them. We plead that we have nothing to prove.” – In a speech to the United Nations after the world’s first nuclear strike during the Chinese New Year Offensive

“On December 12, 1953, humanity succeeded in stepping out of our cradle, and we are now making clear progress towards the future…. The next 50, 100 years is the 50 of any time in the past. Years, 100 years will be different.”

“It is dangerous, so we will take the lead. Since it is unknown, we will walk ahead. Whether in war or in harsh environments, we will not force others to sacrifice in a safe place in the name of victory or progress. Not because it’s honorable or glorious, but because it’s dangerous, nobody notices, and the chances of survival are low… If there is a threat in the way of the Empire, the imperial family and their descendants will surely stand at the forefront. .”

“Society does not just come into existence, and the reason for the existence of a state is to protect the masses. The military and government have no value if they cannot protect even one citizen…. The government has a duty to protect the people so that they do not go astray and throw themselves at the threat. We are fighting to find out who our enemies are and what they plan to do, and so we will have to make more people live… so that the world will not walk the path of extinction, but go into space together, We propose to turn deserts into meadows, fight disease and advance culture… Don’t let selfish people shed your blood in the name of nations, ideas or religions… If a war for complete peace is inevitable , he will have to prove that it is not because of his own selfishness, by directly defending the most dangerous position of the most dangerous bastion of the front line…. The iron curtain that our united strength will complete is the one that lives in it. We will definitely protect and protect everyone!”

-Berlin during the Iron Curtain speech
