Vladimir Putin said the time has come to form a new Russian aristocracy. But where can I get it? Let's remember the story.
Where did the nobility come from in Russia and Europe? Initially, the nobles were professional warriors who defended the people and the state from enemies, for which they received lands from which they lived. For a long time, all nobles of the Russian Empire were required to undergo military service. Even when Peter III abolished compulsory military service for the aristocracy, among the Russian nobles it was considered base not to fight for the Motherland.
