Today our travel through Russian history will let us discover many different events that happened on an April's day. We will witness the day when one of the great figures of Soviet politics was born, or the day a Russian prince fled to Austria to hide from the tsar. Also, we will read about two Russian inventors who hit the headlines in April. Also, in this week of April, but a different year, one of the biggest football clubs in Russia was founded

As we do every week, it’s time to travel throughout Russian history. Today, we will read about the coronation of tsar Paul I and the assassination attempt on tsar Alexander II. We will also go to war: almost at the end of World War II the Red Army conquered the city known today as Kaliningrad.

What happened in Russian history in the first week of April? We will talk about the third attempt to reduce the number of strategic nuclear weapons between the two world superpowers. We will also see the end of a trade blockade between Spain and Russia.

The events of Russia’s history that happened in this week of March start with the Russian tsars: the abdication of Nicholas II, the creation of the Museum of the Kremlin and the attack against Alexander II. We will also remember the first day the Soviet republic was founded, Stalin's funeral, and when the Soviet government officially announced its nuclear capacity.
