By intensifying interaction with other and rulers, Russian became cultural brokers who contributed to the transfer of people, objects and ideas from Europe to Russia.

Petrova argues that the introduction of the European diplomatic rank system and ceremonial was aimed more at demonstrating the superiority of Russian rulers than at creating equal relations with other powers. (4/4)

Maga republican fascist judges are bad.
Things the Courts will say just off the top of my head:

*No right to sexual freedom, arresting queer people is ok

*Schools can ban books if they want

*Students have no speech rights, teachers should rule with iron fists

*No right to marry in our history/traditions

*Our libel laws are too strict, Republicans can sue the NYTimes

*No right to control your body, states may ban contraceptives at will

*Fetuses are persons under the law and women are incubators.

We do not want republican criminals in office.
