# Filipp Sidorsky

Filipp Filippovich Sidorsky (Russian: Филипп Филиппович Сидорский; 21 August 1937 – 27 February 2023) was a Soviet and Russian diplomat. He served in various diplomatic roles from 1966 onwards, and was Ambassador of Russia to Uzbekistan between 1992 and 1997, and to Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1998 to 2000.

## Career

Sidorsky was born on 21 August 1937, in Moscow, then part of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, in the Soviet Union. He initially began working as a projectionist in 1954, and later as an electrician, and a tunneller at Metrostroy. He began his career in the Soviet Foreign Ministry in 1966, graduating from Moscow State Institute of International Relations that year, and entering the diplomatic service.
Sidorsky worked in various diplomatic positions in the Soviet, and later Russian, foreign ministry, and its diplomatic missions abroad. He graduated from the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1978, and worked in the Soviet embassy in Iran, and from 1988 to 1992, was Minister-Counselor of the embassy in Afghanistan. On 18 March 1992, he was appointed the first ambassador of the Russian Federation to Uzbekistan, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. His appointment was concurrent with one to serve as head of delegation to the negotiation with the Republic of Uzbekistan "on issues of bilateral relations, representing mutual interest in political, military, economic, social and humanitarian areas." Diplomatic relations between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Uzbekistan were officially established on 20 March 1992. The Treaty on the Fundamentals of Interstate Relations, Friendship and Cooperation was signed several months later, on 30 May 1992. The Tajikistani Civil War began shortly after Sidorsky's arrival in post, with the suggestion that Russian military forces were taking sides within the country. Sidorsky worked to deny that Russian forces would destabilise Uzbekistan, noting that "the former Soviet military units in Uzbekistan were under the control of the Uzbek government". He was awarded the Order of Friendship on 21 June 1996.
Sidorsky left the post on 25 April 1997, becoming an ambassador-at-large. On 26 January 1998, he was appointed ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, until his recall on 25 December 2000. He retired in 2001. In addition to his native Russian, Sidorsky spoke English, Persian, and Pashto. He was married, with a son.
Sidorsky died on 27 February 2023, at the age of 85. Over his career he had received several awards and honours, including the Order of Friendship, the Order of Friendship of Peoples, and the Order of the Badge of Honour. Sidorsky's obituary by the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that he was "a highly professional diplomat and a wonderful person, a responsible and energetic leader, [and] a versatile specialist."

# John Trevor (1596–1673)

Sir John Trevor II (1596–1673) was a Puritan Welsh landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1621 and 1659. He supported the Parliamentarian cause in the English Civil War and was a member of the Council of State during the Commonwealth.

## Early life

Trevor, whose father Sir John Trevor I was Surveyor of the Navy under Elizabeth I and James I, was born at Oatlands Palace, of which his father was Keeper, on 21 August 1596. He was knighted in 1619. In 1621 he was elected Member of Parliament for Denbighshire. He was elected MP for Flintshire in the Parliaments of 1624 and 1625. In 1628 he was elected MP for Great Bedwyn and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years. During the Personal Rule of Charles I, he was a member of several Royal Commissions, and amassed a substantial income: he had inherited from his father a share in the duties levied on coal from Newcastle, said to bring in £1,500 a year, and held the keepership of several Royal forests, all lucrative sinecures. (At one period he was Surveyor of Windsor Great Park.) He inherited Plas Teg on the death of his father in 1630 and subsequently inherited Trevalyn Hall on the death of his uncle Richard Trevor in 1638.

## Civil war and Commonwealth

In November 1640 Trevor was elected MP for Grampound in the Long Parliament, having connections with Cornwall through his mother, a Trevanion. He took the parliamentary side during the Civil War, and he was sufficiently supportive of the trial of the King to survive Pride's Purge and sit in the Rump. He seems to have been accepted as the spokesman for North Wales in many of the administrative committees that took over the country after the overthrow of the Monarchy, being twice elected to the Council of State, and also serving on the Committee of Both Kingdoms from 1648. However, he was not a member of the smaller council established after Cromwell assumed the Protectorate in 1653. In 1656 Trevor was elected MP for Arundel in the Second Protectorate Parliament, and was one of those advocating the offer of the Crown to Cromwell (to whom he was related by his son's marriage to John Hampden's daughter, Ruth). He was elected MP for Steyning in 1659 for the Third Protectorate Parliament.

## Restoration

Although he resumed his seat at Grampound in 1659 in the restored Rump after Richard Cromwell's fall, he was an early supporter of the Restoration of Charles II, which ensured that he suffered no penalties for his earlier political loyalties after the King returned, being granted a royal pardon on 24 July 1660. However, he had invested much of his fortune during the Commonwealth in buying up lands confiscated from convicted Royalists, and suffered considerable loss as a result.

## Family

Trevor's son, also called Sir John Trevor (1626–1672), was an MP with his father during the Commonwealth, and after the Restoration rose to become Secretary of State in 1668.

# Montanera

Montanera is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Cuneo in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 70 kilometres (43 mi) south of Turin and about 13 kilometres (8 mi) northeast of Cuneo.
Montanera borders the following municipalities: Castelletto Stura, Centallo, Fossano, Morozzo, and Sant'Albano Stura.

## History

Montanera was founded by the monks of Valcasotto at the beginning of XIII century. The first houses surrounded the pre-existing chapel of Madonna Assunta, popularly called Madonna Lunga. The name of the village can be found in some documents dated 1240-1241 of the Certosa di Valcasotto associated with the words "Locus dicitur praedialis", which means group of farms. In 1360s Montanera was destroyed by a band of soldiers, called the White Company, which invaded all the surrounding territories. In 1424 the village came back to life on the will of Cuneo. The new town was built in the area called "Villa" nowadays, a safer and easier place to defend as close to the river Stura. Between 1619 and 1621 Montanera was entrusted in feud, together with the nearby Castelletto Stura, by the Duke of Savoy Carlo Emanuele I to Amedeo Ponte, Count of Scarnafigi.
Together with Cuneo and the nearby areas, the village in 1796 was under French jurisdiction with Napoleon as a leader.
Starting from the year 1851 there was a school for girls and boys. In 1865 a daily horse-drawn car service was offered to reach Cuneo, to give the opportunity to the villagers to move from Montanera. Then, the service was enlarged adding as destinations also Fossano and Mondovì. As far as river transport is concerned, to reach Murazzo, located on the opposite bank of the river, the municipality in 1813 began to use a ferry received by the French government.
The last Marquises of Montanera were the Tapparelli d'Azeglio, among whom the great scholar Massimo d'Azeglio.

## Monuments

On 2nd and 3 May 2015 Montanera celebrated the 100th anniversary of the First World War and the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, hosting a gathering of the Alpini of Mondovì, to inaugurate the War Memorial of Nassiriya, a sculptural work by the artist Michelangelo Tallone of Paesana, to commemorate the last fallen on mission of Peace in Nassiriya.
