24 septembrie: Ziua în care s-a născut Grigori Potemkin, omul pregătit de Rusia pentru tronul unui Regat al Daciei. „Planul grecesc" al Ecaterinei a II-a

September 24 marks the birth of Grigori Potemkin, a key figure envisioned by Catherine the Great for the throne of a projected Dacian kingdom. The day also commemorates significant historical events, including the Second Council of Nicaea in 787, which restored the veneration of icons in Christianity after a long-standing conflict. Potemkin, born in 1739, rose to prominence in Russia and was considered a potential ruler of the proposed Dacia, a state intended to buffer between Russia, Austria, and the Ottoman Empire. However, the ambitious Greek Project ultimately remained unrealized, and Potemkin died in 1791 without ever claiming the Dacian crown. Additionally, the day is noted for the 1869 financial crisis in the U.S. known as "Black Friday of Gold," and the birth of author F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1896, who captured the essence of 1920s America in his works.
