Dates in history are stubborn and independent … Even if the realist historian does not want to believe the incredible, then there is no escape from the dates. Of course, if you do not declare them a rigging …
Although, when dealing with facts from the life of real people, and even confirmed by the entire development of civilization, it is difficult to dismiss them. Here, for example, is the incredible, but still existing phenomenon of the cyclical nature of historical events. It would seem just a game of mind and numbers. But is it? How to relate to the fact that one person mirrored the fate of another, and not only repeats, but does it according to an established time cycle. Well, just some kind of ring of Fate - without beginning or end, but with complete synchronization in time.
For example, Adolf Hitler appeared on the world stage, and many of his enthusiastic followers assured the public that this leader was the embodiment of Napoleon. Indeed, both - Napoleon and Hitler - climbed up from the very bottom of society, both had an explosive and uncontrollable temperament, acting and oratorical talent, the ability to speak to the crowd and lead it along. Both were, after all, short men who began to go bald at a young age, which means they had many inferiority complexes. And by the way, both of them explained their horrific world wars by the desire to bring "freedom" to the conquered countries.
But it turns out that these tyrants are identical not only in the psychological type. Here are the main milestones of their fate. Napoleon Bonaparte came to sole power in 1804, Hitler seized on in 1933 - a difference of 129 years. Napoleon's troops attacked Russia in 1812, Hitler's army invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 - a difference of 129 years.
Many soothsayers of France warned Napoleon about the collapse of his empire if he went to war against Russia. The great fortuneteller Mademoiselle Lenormand herself predicted to Napoleon in the event of a similar development of events that the Russian emperor would sit on his beloved snow-white horse, on which he usually pranced in front of the troops on the days of victory. By the way, it happened so. When our troops entered Paris, the vanquished presented this white horse to Emperor Alexander I. But Napoleon, as you know, did not obey the prophecies of the fortune teller, moreover, he sent her out of France.
Hitler, who was also not advised by German soothsayers to attack the USSR, dealt with objectionable predictors much more harshly - he simply destroyed them. However, it did not save him. As you know, "what is destined will happen." Bonaparte lost the war in June 1815, Führer in 1945. In terms of full years, the difference, as before, is 129 years.
So what does this come out of ?! Well, okay, the usurpers repeated each other's fates. But if we accept this logic, then it turns out that Hitler is not a direct continuation of Napoleon, but still a kind of historical double. But as you know, "the world loves a trinity." But then exactly 129 years after the birth of Hitler - in 2018 - the third tyrant, the new "leader of the peoples", will be born. And how he wants to start his own "new world order" again …
True, maybe all these calculations are phenomena of a one-time order, so to speak, an accident, and there are no historical cycles?

Corrosive historians have unearthed other cyclical coincidences. For example, in the fates of two French kings, Louis IX, called a Saint, and poor Louis XVI, who ended his days on the scaffold of the French Revolution and from this one he could be called a saint.
So, Louis IX was born in 1215, Louis XVI in 1754 - a difference of 539 years. They both lost their fathers 539 years apart. They were married once to queens, whom the people could not stand. Went down the aisle at 19 years old with a difference of 539 years. This time interval has been preserved in many dates of their lives. But here are two striking ones. 1248 - Louis IX, having gathered the people, began a "popular campaign of the crusaders" to conquer the Holy Sepulcher. This was the beginning of terrible events in his life and the fate of the whole world. After 539 years, Louis XVI agreed to the convening of the States General, which had not met for almost two centuries. This step also led to terrible consequences not only in the fate of the king himself, but also in the revolution, which backfired after the whole world. 1250 - Louis IX was captured by the Egyptians, thousands of his Christian supporters were killed. Well, in France, 539 years later, the Great French bourgeois revolution began, Louis XVI was deposed and four years later executed, like many thousands of Frenchmen. So one Louis provoked the bloody campaigns of the crusaders, and the other no less bloody revolution. I wonder who will inherit them both in 539 years? One only consolation: this will not happen soon - only in 2293.
However, maybe the time cycles pass only through the lives of historical characters? Not at all! Believe it or not, this is a purely communist cycle.
The beginning of modern Marxist ideology, as we know, was laid by Karl Marx. His most faithful follower (and financier of ideological research) was, of course, Friedrich Engels. That is, the devoted poor fellow Engels, who was, by the way, smarter than his friend, worked all his life as a galley slave in order to send money to his friend's family, that is, in other words, he fed them all. So, a devoted friend and associate of Engels died in 1895. But Marx's case passed into the reliable hands of V. I. Lenin. It was he who fought for the cause of communism for 29 years, as the most faithful follower of the teachings of Marx and Engels. But in 1924 (29 years after Engels) Lenin died. The great cause of communism has passed into the strong hands of the “father of all peoples”, Comrade Stalin. For another 29 fatal years, Stalin brought Marx's teachings to life, but in 1953 (29 years after Lenin's death) he also died.
Further leaders of the Soviet Union, having other urgent matters, dealt with them. But the honorary title of successor to the great work of Marx - Engels was given to the beloved Leonid I. Brezhnev, not without reason he, like Lenin, was Ilyich. There were even jokes: “Call me simply,” Brezhnev says, “Ilyich”.
But 29 years have passed since the death of Stalin, and Brezhnev dies. The stable times, which were popularly called stagnation, collapsed. The successors of the cause of communism were replaced as if in a kaleidoscope, but somehow no one claimed the role of "great" …
