Historical celebrities. Outstanding citizens of Russia: list, biographies, interesting facts and achievements
About seven and a half billion people live on planet Earth. Despite this, a small percentage of all residents can boast that it is known throughout the planet. The activity of this privileged group determines all events and everything that happens in the world.
10 Mark Zuckerberg
The person who opens the list of the most influential people in the world is also the youngest representative - the founder of the social network Facebook - Mark Zuckerberg. Now Mark is 32 years old, almost twice as old as all the other candidates in this ranking. This year, the young billionaire managed to make a simply crazy career leap - he jumped from the end of the second ten in the Forbes ranking to the first. His current fortune amounts to more than $50 billion. This is taking into account the fact that the Zuckerbergs constantly donate funds to charity. Thus, Mark and his wife Priscilla Chan previously promised an investment of $3 billion for a good cause - the fight and complete eradication of all diseases on the planet by the end of the 21st century.
9 Narendra Modi
Ninth place was taken by Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India. And the popularity of the politician increases every year, especially among Indians. At the same time, the attitude of citizens towards the politician did not change even after the difficult and unexpected monetary reform, which was organized in connection with the course to combat corruption. The Prime Minister issued a decree last fall to cancel India's highest denomination currency notes.
8 Larry Page
The next place on the list is occupied by Larry Page - this gentleman is one of the developers of the most popular search engine Google. A year ago the company went through a reorganization process. At the moment, Google is a subsidiary of Alphabet Corporation, and Larry Page holds the post of Chairman of the Board.
7 Billy Gates
A higher position in this top is occupied by a much more promoted and popular character in the world media - Billy Gates. This is a man whose fortune reaches more than 80 billion dollars, in other words, “chickens don’t eat money.” Billy’s very symbolic idea is to build a real chicken coop in one of the New York high-rises. A logical question may arise - “why”? The thing is that the billionaire really loves chickens in any form; he believes that thanks to such poultry, many people in Africa will be able to get rid of poverty.
6 Janet Yellen
Janet Yellen was almost in the middle of the list. This is the chief economist of the United States, as well as the head of the Federal Reserve System of America. Janet closely monitors the performance of all banking and financial institutions. It is also curious that Mrs. Yellen has enormous popularity among Americans. And they love and respect her for her simplicity, intelligence, openness, as well as her ability to clearly and clearly express her thoughts.
5 Pope Francis
In fifth place in the ranking of the most influential people on a global scale is the only representative of the sphere of religion - the current head of the Vatican. And this is the most mature representative of the rating. Last year Pope Francis turned 80! However, despite his rather advanced age, the pontiff radiates strength and vital energy, which is more than enough to inspire and encourage his many parishioners to do good and do good, as well as to lead a righteous life.
4 Xi Jinping
Fourth place went to Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China. In 2012, immediately after his election as head of state, the politician began reforms aimed at a tough and uncompromising fight against corruption. He has extraordinary popularity among his people. And first of all, this is due to the openness of the politician. For example, there was a case when the press published a report about an ordinary working day in the life of Xi Jinping. Nothing like this has ever happened in China before!
3 Angela Merkel
Absolutely unexpectedly, the top three is opened by Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany. For all his ambiguity, this is a very bright figure in the modern political arena. Despite the significant disappointments of German citizens, according to Forbes, Merkel is the last liberal politician who can give a tough rebuff to the progressive influence of the Russian Federation in the West. Last year, 2017, the German chancellor faced a huge number of problems: she had to sort out the results of Brexit and the growing unrest in the European Union, and solve the situation with the crowds of migrants who poured into Germany. Parliamentary elections are planned for 2019, the results of which will make it clear whether Germans still show confidence in Angela’s decisions, as well as in the party she leads.
2 Donald Trump
The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, took a well-deserved second place. This is the first time a billionaire has become the president of an overseas superpower. According to research results, representatives of the middle and upper classes of America, who so value liberalism, feel some embarrassment for their country's leader. Most of the complaints concern not Trump himself, but his family – his wife and children. However, he himself often appears at the epicenter of discussions!
1 Vladimir Putin
It probably doesn’t surprise anyone that the top 10 most influential people in the world in 2019, the most influential person on the planet in 2019, the President of the Russian Federation, is Vladimir Putin. If you believe the rumors, the head of Russia is capable of anything: he can influence the course of hostilities in Syria and organize “sabotage” in the United States! It’s not for nothing that they say that Donald Trump is a Kremlin secret agent. And then suddenly information comes out that, on the “order” of Vladimir Putin, Russian hackers invaded the process of choosing the new head of the White House... Naturally, both Putin and Trump completely deny any political intrigues against each other, but who will believe them!
Culture
This article is dedicated to ten significant people who, undoubtedly, left a huge mark in the lives of many people on this planet. Perhaps the proposed choice will seem rather one-sided to some, but this is not surprising, since all significant personalities discussed in this article are considered as such in the opinion of Americans. In other words, one can dispute the fact that not a single Russian person was included in this list, but one cannot but agree that all the people presented on this list had a huge impact (including negative) on many areas of life of various people on our planet.
10. Bill Gates
It is known that Bill Gates, born in 1955, created his first computer program while still a high school student. The well-known company Microsoft Corporation, one of the founders of which is Bill Gates, appeared in 1975, and 18 years later, in 1993, Gates was officially declared the richest man on Earth. Despite the far-from-ambiguous attitude towards the products offered by the Gates Corporation, it cannot be denied that this man not only made a real revolution in computer software, but also did many good and useful things. For example, Bill, with his own money, founded several of the largest charitable foundations pursuing good causes around the world (for example, the fight against polio, and so on).
9. Martin Luther King (1929-1968)
Despite the fact that Martin Luther King was an American citizen who actively fought for the rights of black residents and against racial discrimination and racism, this man became known far beyond the borders of the United States of America. He was a real ideological fighter who was inspired by his spiritual mentor and fighter for Indian independence, Mahatma Gandhi. Despite the extremely pressing problem of racial discrimination against the black population in the United States, King always advocated peaceful methods of resolving the issue, while being an unsurpassed orator. In 1964, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And, despite the fact that King was assassinated in 1968, he is still remembered because, according to many, this man managed to achieve the impossible by forcing the white population of America to listen and respect the opinion of the black population.
8. Nelson Mandela
Another equally famous human rights activist who devoted his life to fierce opposition to apartheid - the policy of racial suppression of certain groups of the population in South Africa, under which black people did not even have the right to vote - was Nelson Mandela, born in 1918. For his tough, uncompromising stance in the fight against the racist government Mandela was arrested in 1964. The future president of the Republic of South Africa emerged from prison only 26 years later, and was almost immediately elected leader of the state. In 1993, Nelson Mandela also received the Nobel Peace Prize for his services in the fight against apartheid.
7. Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)
The German leader, who came to power in 1933, undoubtedly left not only one of the most significant marks in the history of mankind, but also the bloodiest and most destructive mark. Fierce hatred of Jews, exaggerated ideas about the right to advantage of the Aryan race on our planet, as well as manic commitment to one’s ideas– all this led to the death of tens of millions of people in Eastern Europe. And although Adolf Hitler’s diabolical plans were not destined to come true, this man is unlikely to be erased from people’s memory (as well as many other dictators).
6. Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Einstein, who is rightfully considered the greatest physicist of all time, has become a true symbol of genius. When Albert Einstein succeeded in proving one of his most significant works - the general theory of relativity - in 1919, scientists around the world recognized the genius of this man, as a result of which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for achievements in physics in 1921. Unfortunately, despite the fact that Einstein was an undoubted pacifist, his scientific research later helped other researchers create an atomic bomb. Einstein was so burdened by this fact that a week before his death, in a letter addressed to Bertrand Russell, a British philosopher and ardent supporter of nuclear disarmament, he declared his readiness to sign an appeal to all countries calling on them to abandon the use of atomic energy in warfare. purposes.
5. Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
Mahatma Gandhi, the spiritual leader of the Indian people and a fighter for the independence of this country from Great Britain, began his career as an ordinary lawyer, and only then became involved in political issues. He led a peaceful civil disobedience movement against the British regime in India, and conducted active negotiations with the leaders of Foggy Albion until 1947 when his country gained independence. In fact, Gandhi became the true embodiment of independence for all Indians for all time! Mahatma Gandhi is also known for his modest way of life and calls for religious tolerance, which, undoubtedly, only contributed to strengthening the people's love and faith in their leader.
4. Karl Marx (1818-1883)
It can be said without exaggeration that the ideas of the German thinker Karl Marx in the field of economics and sociology changed the world. Marx was one of those social philosophers who were dissatisfied with the bourgeois structure of the world, predicting social equality for everyone in the future. Of course, many of us know Marx primarily for his monumental work called Capital, but he became famous for his work written together with Friedrich Engels, another German philosopher, with a work entitled “Manifesto of the Communist Party” (this is where the famous phrase “A ghost is haunting Europe - the ghost of communism” came from). As you know, it was the ideas of Karl Marx that inspired Russian revolutionaries and communists. In 1950, already half of the inhabitants of our planet lived in countries where the communist regime ruled!
3. Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
There is probably no need to explain to anyone that it was Charles Darwin who became the founder of the modern theory of evolution. Of course, it didn’t all start right away. Darwin's first thoughts on this topic began to form during the period when he set off on a voyage around the world as a naturalist on a Royal Navy ship called the Beagle (1831-1836). And Darwin devoted the rest of his life to the development of these ideas. The main work of his life, published in 1859 - “The Origin of Species” - caused a harsh reaction from conservative society. And this is not surprising: in fact, Darwin openly opposed the Bible and the version of the divine creation of the surrounding world, replacing it with the theory of the evolutionary development of all living beings. It was then that humanity first had to try to comprehend the fact that the direct ancestors of humans were apes (according to Darwin).
2. William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
The appearance of William Shakespeare on this list of the most significant people in human history is not accidental. In fact, Shakespeare has been overwhelmingly voted the greatest English-language playwright in human history. Considering that this top ten was compiled according to the opinions of Americans, this choice is not surprising. But no matter what evil tongues say, Shakespeare, as a writer, had a huge influence on the entire world of drama.. He started as an ordinary actor, and eventually wrote 154 poems and 37 plays, among which the most famous were “Hamlet”, “King Lear”, “Romeo and Juliet”, “Macbeth” and so on. The influence of William Shakespeare was so great that thanks to his work, the English language was replenished with more than 1,700 new words.
1. Christopher Columbus (1451-1506)
It would probably be surprising if the list of the most significant people in the world, compiled by the Americans, did not include Christopher Columbus, one of the most famous travelers and discoverers. After all, it is believed that it was precisely thanks to his search for the coast of the so-called Western India that European settlers discovered two continents, which were later called America (and hardly anyone will dare to challenge America’s influence on the whole world). Among other things, Christopher Columbus became famous as a talented navigator. It is believed that of all the reliably known travelers, it was he who was the first to cross the Atlantic Ocean, sailed in the Caribbean Sea and generally gave Europe a whole new world.

Who is the most influential and most significant person in history?
Researchers have created algorithm, which ranks historical figures based on their Wikipedia importance, article length, readability, achievements, and fame.
The program was developed by a computer science professor Stephen Skiena(Steven Skiena) and software engineer at Google Charles B. Ward(Charles B. Ward), who wrote the book "Who Matters Most?" (Who's Bigger: Where Historical Figures Really Rank).
Of course they the conclusions are not without contradictions. The authors relied on the results of the English version of Wikipedia, so the list rather highlights the most important historical figures in Western history.
It is noteworthy that the hundred most significant personalities included only Three women: Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria and Joan of Arc. Also unexpected was the 7th place of Adolf Hitler, who was much higher in the ranking of Joseph Stalin, who was in 18th place.
The most historically significant musician was Mozart (in 24th place), followed by Beethoven (27th) and Bach (48th). The most famous modern pop musician was Elvis Presley (69th).

The names of some people - representatives of a wide variety of professions and activities - are associated in our minds with incredible fame and success. We call them first if we are asked to answer the question of who is the most famous, influential person in economics, art, politics, etc. The most famous people in the world - this list is not subject to final compilation, because each of us has our own priorities and views on life. However, you can't argue with some people's fame.
The most famous people in art
Chaplin
At the dawn of cinema, Charlie Chaplin became its superstar. The comedian's career spanned a total of 80 years.
Chaplin was the founder of his own film studio, a theater and silent film star, one of the creative pillars of silent cinema, the developer of most of the stunts and comic filming techniques, and a witness to the change from the silent era to the sound era. Chaplin twice received an out-of-competition Oscar, and in 1973 the Film Academy posthumously awarded him another statuette with the wording “For making cinema an art.”
Everyone knows the image of Chaplin - a clumsy eccentric in a bowler hat and with a painted mustache. It’s hard to believe that he was completely different without makeup.
Disney
Walt Disney is a cult figure like Chaplin, only in animation. As an animation director, Disney directed 111 films with his own hands and produced more than 500 more. It is impossible to imagine childhood without “Snow White”, “Bambi”, “Sleeping Beauty”, these films are so bright, so light and kind they are.
Today, The Walt Disney Company's earnings exceed $30 billion a year, but before founding the studio, Disney received more than 300 refusals, because animation was considered a hopeless area of investment.
Wald Disney and the brainchildren of his employees - Mickey, Donald and Goofy
Monroe
Marilyn Monroe is an actress, a sex symbol of the era, a woman whose name everyone puts in their personal list of the most interesting, beautiful and mysterious women.
Having entered the film studio as an extra, Monroe made a dizzying career and became the highest paid actress from 1950 until the end of the century. Her films had grossed $200 million by the time she died suddenly in 1962. The legendary blonde acquired condescension towards her own fame and contempt for money, repeating that kisses in Hollywood cost millions, but a soul costs 50 cents.
Most Famous Artist
Vincent Van Gogh is an artist whose influence on the entire world culture was appreciated only after his death. During his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting, and the room where he painted was so cold that he was sometimes forced to light the stove with his paintings.
Van Gogh's 800 paintings, which were ahead of their time in terms of art development, became examples of post-impressionism. The artist spent his whole life trying to copy the child’s style of drawing, and eventually created sincere, spontaneous paintings, the most expensive of which today costs almost $150 million.

Politician
Unconditionally, the palm in politics should be awarded to the most famous dictator, Adolf Hitler, whose name is involuntarily associated with world evil.
A very talented artist and a good musician could have lived a life completely far from politics, but in his youth he became interested in the political views of nationalists and anti-Semites.
Based on his belief in the special mission of the German nation, Hitler built his own empire and became its head in 1934. Hitler began to take over all of Europe and launched the largest and bloodiest war in human history - World War II. Hitler's main political postulates are reflected in the book Mein Kampf, which became the program document of the Nationalist Party.
The most famous athlete
Michael Jordan is an American basketball player, NBA player, who instilled a love of basketball in most modern athletes. Jordan is not the tallest or the most gifted, but he is the most ambitious and persistent athlete. Expelled from the school basketball league, the young athlete was able to achieve the status of a basketball superstar and, through many years of training, developed a unique style of play.
He is known for ending his sports career and returning three times: the first time at the end of the 1992 Olympics due to moral and physical exhaustion (returned to the NBA in 1995); the second break was in 1999-2001; Jordan returned to professional sports for the third time in September 2001, wanting to transfer all the fees he received to a fund to help victims of the terrorist attack in the United States.
Jordan's accomplishments barely fit on the marble plaque at the United Center.
At times, Jordan played with his tongue involuntarily sticking out, saying that this habit was “in the family”, from his father and older brother, and was an expression of complete passion and concentration on the game.
Literary creativity
They say that a writer must be hungry in order not to relax and create. Perhaps, in this regard, in the “literature” section it is appropriate to mention the name of the writer JK Rowling as a woman recognized as a genius and the highest paid children’s writer. It's hard to believe that the most popular hero, Harry Potter, could not be seen by either readers or audiences in cinemas.
The first book about Harry Potter was rejected by more than 10 publishers, but today the image of the young wizard has turned into a brand, and its creator has become the world's first billionaire writer.
The science
A prominent figure in science, whose scientific research turned the world upside down, is Albert Einstein. The achievements of the theoretical physicist were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921, and to this day Einstein’s theories about the structure of the universe have not been challenged or supplemented.
Einstein foresaw several major breakthroughs in physics, including the still unrealized possibility of quantum teleportation.
Media
The most famous media person can be considered the American TV presenter and journalist Oprah Winfrey. The personification of a modern talk show and synonymous with a show journalist, the most influential woman for American women, the first black female billionaire, a media mogul with her own studio, publication, and broadcast - this is Winfrey.
She went through a difficult journey from a teenage girl who gave birth at age 13, to the youngest, 17-year-old television reporter and the first black reporter in the state of Nashville, to her own show, which brought her worldwide fame.
The most famous people in the world - they all went through a difficult path, full of failures and hard work, proving by personal example that luck alone is not enough to win and you need to move forward, despite the lack of money, strength, support, even the very desire to live. Their examples inspire or, on the contrary, serve as a counter-example, but the names of famous artists, writers, and leaders will be a symbol of the era for a long time.

Whoever in history has had the most followers in the whole world is the greatest. This is Jesus Christ of the ignorant! Christian countries, whose territories occupy most of the globe, had a key influence on the history and development of mankind, and not some Homer. Who compiled this list?
Davlatov_4 | 14.02.2016 19:23
Prophet Muhammad on the first line! here some people are not worthy of this rating at all, and if they were worthy, then only in certain aspects of their activities. And Prophet Muhammad was the best in every aspect of his life.

The greatest scientist of all time was Nikola Tesla, who is not here. This is not a list, it's garbage

Tesla, by the way, was VERY underestimated, both during his lifetime and now...

In this list I did not find Omar Khayyam, Aesop, Yesenin, Mendeleev, Gagarin, Vysotsky and many others. On the other hand, there are many people whose names are damned forever, as well as psychopaths like Freud

we must add Nikola Tesla, he is one of the greatest scientists. Muhammad Ali, he did a lot for sports. Steve Jobs will long be remembered as the creator of the most valuable company in history and his influence on IT technology. Mendeleev chemistry. Gorbachev did what Hitler failed to do. Armstrong of course. and Viktor Sidorenko, a Ukrainian who made a contribution to the development of technology and recognition of Ukraine in the world.

"In addition to Alexander's comment: There is no Dostoevsky, but there is Marlon Brando! There was a place on the list for the actor Edmund Kean, but there are no such world-famous scientists as Joliot-Curie, Ampere, Faraday, Rutherford. There is an English poet John Donne, but no Pushkin! The list does not deserve its name. Creating such a list is a very serious matter, it requires a lot of work and erudition, but amateurs did it."
As an Administrator, I agree with the opinions that Stalin, Lenin, and many classics are very clearly missing, but it was not we who compiled the rating, but an American magazine.
By the way, it’s a good idea to conduct a survey throughout the year and make your own rating!

Not only Lenin. For example, I didn’t see Stalin, who did much more, and did it much longer than Hitler. And also, for example, there is neither Korolev nor Gagarin, who opened space to humanity. And he did not see Magellagna, and Tolstoy, and Mendeleev, and Ramses II, and Augustus, and many ancient Greek scientists and thinkers. In short, the rating came out of nowhere, those who came to mind at that moment were included, and all this was sent to print.
