Mykolaiv 
 It is the administrative center of the Mykolaiv Oblast (province), as well as of both the Mykolaivsky and Zhovtnevy raions (districts) within the oblast.
Mykolaiv 
 However, Mykolaiv is a city of oblast subordinance, thus being subject directly to the oblast authorities rather to the raion administration housed in the city itself.
Mykolaiv 
 The town was founded in 1789 by the Russian Governor General of  Novorossiya Knyaz Potemkin initially as a shipyard called simply a New Shipyard on the Ingul river.
Mykolaiv 
 Knyaz Potemkin signed an order to construct a shipyard on August 27, 1789, which is considered to be a city birth date.

Akkad 
 The Akkadian empire reached its peak during the rule of Sargon of Akkad in the 24th and 22nd centuries BCE, and it eventually collapsed in 2154 BCE.
Akkad 
 The empire comes after a long relationship with Sumer, and before the ethnic Akkadian empires of Babylonia and Assyria.
Akkad 
 According to the Sumerian king list, Akkad (Agade) was built by Sargon of Akkad, 23th century BC, and is often called the first empire in history.
Akkad 
 Even so, it is known from older cuneiform writings that the city was already there before Sargon, in the time of the kings of Uruk.
Akkad 
 Also, in the earliest records, when Mesopotamian kings started calling themselves "lord of the four quarters" around Sumer, these were listed as: Martu, Shubar, Elam, and Uri-ki.
Akkad 
 As the capital city of the Akkadian Empire beginning with Sargon, the city ruled from around 2300 to 2215 BC, when it was destroyed by the Gutians who invaded from the mountains.
Akkad 
 He created an empire which reached as far as the Mediterranean Sea and Anatolia, and extended his rule to Elam, and as far south as Oman.
Akkad 
 Trade extended from the silver mines of Anatolia to the lapis lazuli mines in Afghanistan, the cedars of Lebanon and the copper of Oman.
Akkad 
 This consolidation of the city-states of Sumer and Akkad reflected the growing economic and political power of Mesopotamia.
Akkad 
 The empire's breadbasket was the rain-fed agricultural system of northern Mesopotamia and a chain of fortresses was built to control the imperial wheat production.
Akkad 
 Images of Sargon were erected on the shores of the Mediterranean, in token of his victories, and cities and palaces were built at home with the spoils of the conquered lands.
Akkad 
 Elam and the northern part of Mesopotamia (Subartu)  were also subjugated and rebellions in Sumer were put down.
Akkad 
 Contract tablets have been found dated in the years of the campaigns against Canaan and against Sarlak, king of Gutium.
Akkad 
 The Akkadian language was one of the Semitic languages, and at the time of the Akkadian Empire it was made official in both Mesopotamia and Elam.
Akkad 
 During the 3rd millennium BC, an intimate cultural symbiosis developed between the Sumerians and the Akkadians, which included widespread bilingualism.
Akkad 
 Akkadian gradually replaced Sumerian as the spoken language of Mesopotamia somewhere around the turn of the 3rd and the 2nd millennium BC (the exact dating being a matter of debate), but Sumerian continued to be used as a sacred, ceremonial, literary and scientific language in Mesopotamia until the 1st century AD.
Akkad 
 The fall of the empire established by Sargon seems to have been as sudden as its rise, and little is known about the Gutian period.
Akkad 
 It has recently been suggested that the regional decline at the end of the Akkadian period (and also in the Ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom) was associated with rapidly increasing aridity, and failing rainfall in the region of the Ancient Near East.

Anastasia (1956 movie) 
 Despite the testimony of Yakov Yurovsky and others present at the shooting, many failed to believe that every member of the family had been killed.
Anastasia (1956 movie) 
 This rumor was made worse by stories of one or more of them escaping, thanks to sympathetic guards at the Ipatiev House, where they were being held.
Anastasia (1956 movie) 
 Also complicating the truth was the fact the location of the bodies remained a mystery, as they had been burned and buried in a remote forest.

 With rumors swirling that one or more of the Romanovs might have escaped, numerous individuals came forward claiming to be one of the Grand Duchesses or Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich.

 The most notable of these was Anna Anderson, who rose to fame in the 1920s with her outlandish claims that she was Anastasia.
Anastasia (1956 movie) 
 The movie was most certainly based on Anderson's story, as the opening shots show a woman about to commit suicide from a bridge, as Anna Anderson did.
Anastasia (1956 movie) 
 While Anderson vehemently stated she was the heir to the Romanov family, many around her had doubts.

 This too proved she was not a member of the royal family and also increased the likelihood that she was Schanzkowska.
