Sinopse

"Catherine Reforms" explores the reign of Catherine the Great, a pivotal figure in 18th-century Russia, examining whether she was a true enlightened reformer or a shrewd autocrat focused on solidifying her power. The book delves into her attempts at modernization, influenced by Enlightenment ideals, and her impact on European politics. 

 
Catherine's reforms included legal and administrative changes, such as her attempt to codify Russian laws, and significant territorial expansion, acquiring Crimea and parts of Poland. The book argues that Catherine’s reforms, while seemingly progressive, were primarily aimed at strengthening her autocracy, challenging traditional views of her as solely an enlightened despot. It analyzes her social and economic policies, including those related to serfdom, and her foreign policy achievements. 

 
By using primary and secondary sources, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of Catherine's reign, evaluating her long-term impact on Russia and her strategic political goals. The book progresses through key areas of reform, from legal and administrative changes to social and economic policies, culminating in an assessment of Catherine’s lasting influence. 

 
This approach provides a balanced perspective on Catherine the Great's complex legacy, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in Russian history, European politics, and the challenges of autocratic rule.

NASA and the Aliens Exposed

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
In 2006 the American Embassy in Lithuania received the following cable from the then Lithuanian prime minister, Albinas Januska. He stated that "a group of UFOs are making their influence from the Cosmos" and that "there exists a decreasing group of persons, who are trying to rationally analyse the situation and objectively evaluate what is happening." 
 
In 2007 the Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary, Nobutaka Machimura said "I am sure that unidentified flying objects exist." 
 
A former NASA astronaut, Dr. Brian O'Leary stated that "there is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon.”
