Video Transcript:

Ummmmm yes hello! It's Spooky Lake Month, where we're doing 31 days of haunted hydrology. Today, I wanna talk about a cursed lake at the heart of the most nuked place on earth. Located in modern day Kazakhstan, the Semipalatinsk Test Site, also known as the Polygon, is around the size of New Jersey. Between 1949 and 1989, the USSR used this enormous test site to experiment with 456 nuclear bombs. Initially, the Semipalatinsk Test Site was used to develop and refine nuclear weapons for military application. These tests were done in secret until the west discovered radioactive particles as far as Alaska. However, in 1965, the USSR launched a program called the Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy. The purpose of this was to repurpose nuclear weapons for peaceful objectives. The program was modeled after Product Plowshare, which was the United States' version of a similar objective. Both programs were designed to use nuclear detonations to create things like reservoirs or harbors. The Chagan test in 1965 was an underground nuclear test that was designed to create a lake alongside the Chagan River. They dug a 584-foot hole and lowered a nuclear weapon to the bottom. Detonation was ten times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. The explosion carved a circular crater in the Earth that was 1300 feet wide and 330 feet deep. The dry crater filled in with water from the Chagan River. The minister responsible for the Soviet weapons program actually swam in Lake Chagan to prove that it was safe. However, as you can imagine, it was not safe, detonating 456 nuclear bombs, resulting in radioactive dust and debris into the atmosphere, affecting millions of people in Kazakhstan for generations. Lake Chagan's radiation levels remain elevated to this day and people are discouraged from visiting the Semipalatinsk Test Site. For a rare example of a radioactive lake created by a nuclear explosion, 7 out of 10 Spookies.

Levedi, the first Voivode of the Hungarians, by Tamás Tulipán 2018

Levedi was the first recorded voivode of the Magyars. According to the Encyclopedia of the History of Ukraine he was also the first recorded voivode in history. I found this interesting given that this term is supposedly of Slavic origin, yet even though the Slavs were known to the Byzantines for centuries it wasn't until a Finno-Ugrian people appeared that it was applied? I searched other sources and came to the same conclusion, which makes me curious. The term was applied to Levedi and to various other Magyar chieftains by Byzantine emperor Constantine VII in his 'De Administrando Imperio' as the Magyars emerged from the Finno-Ugrian and Turkic lands (what is now Russia) and entered Europe proper. The Encyclopedia of the History of Ukraine notes that the term voivode was later used by the Kievan Rus and various other Eastern European peoples afterward.

Constantine VII recorded that the Hungarians lived for three years among the Turkic Khazars. During this time Levedi was summoned by the Khazar chagan, given a Turkic wife, and offered a princely title for his valor: "We have invited you upon this account, in order that, since you are noble and wise and valorous and first among the [Hungarians], we may appoint you prince of your nation, and you may be obedient to our word and our command." (Constantine VII, De Administrando Imperio). Levedi said he could not obey and refused the title of prince but he accepted the woman they offered him, though he had no children by her. Instead the new princely title was given to Arpad or Almos (the info varies depending on the source).

The name Levedi seems to probably be Finno-Ugrian in origin, as a similar name was recorded in a Hungarian charter in the year 1138 CE. One of Prince Taksony's great grandson's in the 11th century was named Levente, which is similar.  Though I found an interesting theory in Arnold Toynbee's book Constantine Porphyrogenitus and his World: "Constantine Porphyrogenitus locates the Magyars' habitat in a district, 'close to Khazaria', called Levedhia, before the eviction of the Magyars from there by the Pechenegs. Constantine notes, in the same context, that, in Levedhia, there was a river called Khingilous (alias Khidhmas), and this river is evidently identical with Constantine's River Synghoul and with the river that is now called Cinhul, which joins with the River Tokmak to form the Molochnaya - a river that debouches into the Sea of Azov through a district that is now called 'Lepedika'. The name 'Levedhia' looks as if it were derived from the Greek word livadhia, meaning 'water-meadows'; and this interpretation of the name is confirmed by both Muslim and Western Christian authorities".

this book sofar is just

rin: ive commited so many atrocities. i feel so bad im so angry. and sad about the atrocities also. have i mentioned the atrocities

chagan: youve done so many atrocities. the atrocities. youve commited atrocities

[r-0-x-4-s]

are chagan and altan…yk?

[aashiqui-aashiqui]

so im nearing the end of the poppy war and a lot has happened since i last updated on here so im just gonna make a list honestly.

1. okay so jiang is i assume dead now

2. rin is assumed to be a speerly but i don’t know if she actually is one so there is that

3. i dont like altan, i am sympathetic to his struggles but i dont like his character personally

4. nezha and rin were kinda cute together especially when they made up but then nezha got captured by the federation soldiers during the attack on Khuldarain (i can’t remember how to spell it forgive me)

5. kitay is alive so yayyy but Golyn Niis is decimated and reading that part was dreadful

6. poor venka omg reading her part was nauseating to its core and i felt sick

7. chagan i feel a little sorry for actually the way altan isn’t listening to him who probably knows this plan wont work out

8. anyway altan and rin are on the way to raise the army currently where im at so we will see how that goes

[lostkhagan]

1.Chogoris=Qogir/Chogori(peak)+s,and Qogir means "White Goddess"in Tibetan

2.And "Jaghatai" has a similar pronunciation with "Chagan",which means "White" in Mongolian

3.Basically "Jaghatai" is derived from the second son of Genghis Khan but GW made some changes，they combined German word "Jager" with original word.

some word games I recently find（

The situation at Chagan 

23 November 1956

Kliment Voroshilov, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, has sent a delegation of 50 representatives to transport the remaining 50,000 refugees in Siberia, by truck, to Chagan air base. They are currently set-up in the tent city outside Chagan airbase. At the moment, recovered children are playing on the runways, while the refugee crowd is obstructing the entry of trucks containing supplies into the airbase. As such, the planes are currently unable to fly, as they do not have the fuel or supplies to do so. 

[fagcrisis]

see here is my issue with this bit its fun that rin lost her powers and has to murder altan inside her head to get them back thats fun. but i would love if like, instead of hanging out w nezha all the goddamn time she spent any time with the ciko and if chagan wasnt just a guy whi shows up when its plot convenient for someone to upset rin or talk to spirits. its like the unit shes in command of only exists in short moments and otherwise theyre just not important to the plot of this book at all
