Russia, whether represented by the Kremlin walls or military barracks, has a long history behind her, much longer than America\u0092s. When the future U.S. was still an English colony, Russia had already long been a protagonist of the rising European power struggle. Anyone today asking about the future of Russia after the Cold War, and its ambitions through Europe would have to accept the very different and sometimes contradictory scripts of Russia\u0092s envisioned roles. In her eyes, they are all of this moment. Anyone wandering through the treasury of the Kremlin today will learn about diplomacy. Not only with the help of testimonies of Western ambassadors bowing to the Tsar, but also through the silverware that was bought across Europe and acquired in Augsburg, later to be humbly used to honor the ruler of all Russia and to win him over as an ally.<\/p>\n

Nowhere else have diplomatic gifts been received in the same splendor and abundance as in the Kremlin. The Tsar’s silverware was never meant to share meals, but was there to be seen; a sign of dignity, a symbol of power and, if necessary, currency reserves that could be melted down or sold.

But Russia did finally obtain her rank as a European power through the early 18th century’s Great Northern War, taking place during the Spanish War of Succession. Peter the Great won the Maris Baltici Empire, which today includes the three Baltic States. That left the Tsar with power in the form of land and trade routes being developed with its German-Baltic subjects.<\/p>\n
