Greetings friends!

There were times when states, thanks to the wisdom and decisiveness of their rulers, turned into empires that ruled over land and sea.

Everyone paid them a tribute, or in the language of the #crypto world, a gas fee, or a commission.

They were a kind of #Bitcoins of their time, everyone looked up to them.

The Ottoman Empire was such a state.

But, imagine a situation in which, for example, the #Hive was able to prove his superiority over #Bitcoin in one battle and multiplied it by zero.

Postage stamp Battle of Chesme, Ivan Aivazovsky (1848), from series Marine Paintings by I.K. Aivazovsky, issued in the USSR in 1974, shows us a picture of such a battle.

If you study the historical facts, which is very interesting, more interesting than many blockbusters, then you will see that the fleet of the Ottoman Empire was significantly superior to the fleet of the Russian Empire, but was burned in this battle.

Yes, the fleet of the Ottoman Empire was sent to "NULL".

You can doubt your capabilities, you can see the size of the enemy, but there is always a dead zone of fire, through which you can get very close to the enemy and inflict a crushing blow on him.

This postage stamp received a face value of 4 kopecks of the USSR, and its circulation amounted to 7,300,000 copies.

Aivazovsky perfectly portrayed the drama of events, which can be seen even on a small postage stamp.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
