Dear Readers,
This video is of the interior of the Grand Palace of Tsar Peter the Great in 1750 just outside Tallinn, Estonia. Tallinn was the main naval port for the Russian Navy which means Estonia was a non-country, just a vassal state controlled by Russia. This is, of course, what Tsar Putin has in mind for the future of all Eastern Europe, return it to the new Russian Empire as he is trying to do with Ukraine.
The palace is not as opulent as it once was but it is beautifully maintained and the video of the main hall gives a good idea of what it must have looked like 250 years ago. MIKE
