High in the Sierra Morena mountains in Andalusia, the unremarkable Rio Tinto (Rio Tinto), which in Spanish means "Red River". In the upper reaches, it is an ordinary mountain river with clear, transparent water. But in the lower reaches … The reason for this is a man who, since ancient times, shoveled the banks of the river, rich in minerals, which lie quite shallowly. The ancient Iberians mined here ore for smelting copper, probably the most demanded metal of the Ancient World, like iron ore today. After the depletion of the upper ore-bearing layers, deeper and deeper layers went into development … The water in the lower reaches has a pronounced red color, the acidity is such that swimming is strictly prohibited. Julio segura carmona tried to convey the unearthly, very peculiar beauty of this phenomenon, created by Nature, and then "re-creative" by man.

Is “Bironovism” so terrible, as the textbooks say, or is Anna Ioannovna's regime deservedly called bloody?
The era of Anna Ioannovna's reign (1730s-40s) is usually called "Bironovschina". This is due to the fact that at that time the favorite of the Empress Ernst Biron was in charge of all state affairs. Historians associate "Bironovschina" with regular repressions, increased investigations, bloody reprisals and clumsy rule of the country. But was the regime of Anna's rule more harsh against the background of what happened in Russia under Peter the Great and Catherine the Great? There is an opinion that this topic is largely for its own benefit

The first Russian terrorist, or what pushed the noble maiden Vera Zasulich on a bloody path, and why the jury acquitted her

And this despite the fact that they were sentenced to hard labor even for a peaceful demonstration of dissatisfaction with the regime!
