Novgorod the Great - One of the oldest historic cities in Russia
This series delves deep into this more than thousand-year-old cultural history in Europe’s East. For the very first time, sensational footage, shot by the world’s best cameramen, presents a bird’s-eye view of the most important and most beautiful buildings of Old Russia.
The camera explores en detail art and ornamentation, mounted on high on these splendid structures centuries ago to the glory of God, far above the line of vision of humans. Authors familiar with Russian culture find the material for their stories beneath the roofs and golden onion-shaped towers, which tell of old traditions, passions and visions. Russian and Ukrainian protagonists fill the stories, which encompass this unique culture
and architecture, time and again with their warmth, their love and a good portion of humor. They proudly present the old Russian legacy that during the World War and in the old Soviet Union days, constantly threatened to disappear.
Veliky Novgorod, also known as Novgorod the Great, or Novgorod Veliky, or just Novgorod, is one of the oldest and most important historic cities in Russia, which serves as the administrative center of Novgorod Oblast.

Church bells strike false note with Muslims in Russia

Church bells strike false note with Muslims
The Muslim community in Russia's Nizhny Novgorod region is opposing plans to include church bells in a proposed new regional anthem. Local authorities had earlier set a competition to compose an anthem for the region.
The work is still being composed and officials say the last thing they want to do is to hurt people's feelings.
The Muslim community wanted the regional governor to change some of the rules of the contest. Using the sound of church bells was mandatory and Muslim leaders thought this alienated other ethnic and religious groups.
There should be no political or religious themes in the anthem. It should be something that uplifts people and brings them together. I think including religion goes against this. Said Gayaz Zakirov, spiritual leader of the regions Muslims.
The national anthem contains church bells, which are seen as a sign of Russian tradition as much as a sign of Orthodox woship.
The tradition of bellringing is a very ancient tradition, dating from Old Testament times, which was adopted by the Orthodox Church, said Orthodox priest Igor Pchelintsev.
The authorities have now decided to scrap the competition and hire a professional composer instead. Hopefully, the end result will be something that all sides can agree on.

Worshippers mark Epiphany with dip in frozen lake
(20 Jan 2020) LEAD IN:
Orthodox Christians in Russia have celebrated Epiphany by taking chilly ice baths in a frozen lake.
Believers submerge themselves in freezing water to commemorate the baptism of Jesus Christ.
STORY-LINE:
It's the depths of winter and the pond at Nizhny Novgorod is a frozen expanse.
But preparations are underway for this icy water to host a group of hardy Christian worshippers.
Every year, believers take part in an Epiphany ritual where they submerge themselves in the freezing lake.
But first officials must test the water to make sure it is safe.
Samples are taken for microbiological indicators, including pathogenic microflora, and also for chemical indicators that characterize organic and non organic water pollution, says Dimitry Lipschits, Head of the Department for Supervision of Communal Hygiene of Nizhny Novgorod.
People need to understand that in the first place it is necessary to use only official places for swimming, where everything is arranged beforehand and there will also be rescuers and doctors on duty.
Popular folklore says the night of the Epiphany brings the most severe frosts of winter.
But this year, unseasonably warm conditions mean this pond is not as frozen as normal.
So organisers of the ritual are building the fonts where people will enter the water as close to shore as possible.
A diver in full kit enters each of the wooden enclosures to check there are no hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface.
The bottom of the font was examined for sharp objects, sharp corners and also how it is prepared for the divers. Nothing dangerous was found, says Andrey Sikida, part of the emergency rescue team of the Nizhny Novgorod region.
At midnight on the night of the Epiphany, a priest blesses the waters of the pond.
For now, worshippers are wrapped up against the cold.
But once the water has been blessed, those taking part strip off and prepare to take an icy cold dip.
In honour of the Holy Trinity - the Christian doctrine that God is made up of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit - bathers submerge themselves three times in the water.
And the people here insist the experience is not as uncomfortable as it looks.
This is Epiphany and during the Epiphany, the cold is always the same, it makes you warm, says Konstantin Loshchinsky,.
At first you feel the burst of energy, but after you do not feel cold at all. I cannot even fill the blowing of the wind.
For some, this is the first time they have taken part in the ritual after years of longing to be involved.
I decided to go into the water for the first time. I've beengaiming to do it for eight years. I wanted it and at last, decided to try. I have managed it, says Ksenya Nestrova.
In the Orthodox Christian calendar, this religious holiday celebrates the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River.
Worshippers believe that water on Epiphany night has healing powers and washes away their sins.

Kizhi Island White Night (UNESCO World Heritage Site) @Lake Onega - Russia (qrcode-tanbul.com)
This video was taken on June 28, 2010 during a 10-day Volga-Baltic Waterway River Cruise from Moscow to St.Petersburg with the Nizhny Novgorod river cruise ship, while leaving Kizhi Island (~62° North), a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Lake Onega (second largest lake in Europe after neighboring Lake Ladoga), Karelia, Russian Federation.
It was a real adventure discovering this lonely island of 60-70 inhabitants near the Arctic circle, during a white night, with all the calmness, the friendly seagulls, and the beautiful nature, isolated from the populated rest of the world..
