Russian cadets stepped out in their glamorous finery for the annual Kremlin Cadet Ball in Moscow today.Girls donned puff-sleeved classical dresses on the arm of Russia's soldiers of tomorrow in the event which takes the country's hopefuls for a step back in time - giving the students a taste of Tsarist Russia's grandeur and prestige.This year's ball, was held in the fitting location of the Victory Museum which is dedicated to the Great Patriotic War. Girls twirled in vibrant satin dresses among the historic artefacts while the male military students pulled them in at the waist as they performed classical Russian dance. They paid tribute to the lavish dances of the Tsar Nicholas II's Russia in the Debutante-style event while wearing pastel-coloured gowns similar to the Romanov family's Empress dresses.But behind the scenes, the girls hurry to get their hair pinned for their grand entrance and are forbidden from wearing red lipstick as the group's teachers have been known to tell the cadets that they 'should be girly, not womanly'.Attendees at today's soirée included children from the Suvorov military schools and the Nakhimov Naval School in Russia. More than 1,800 cadets attended the impressive event last year - and it was held for two consecutive years at the Manezh Central Exhibition Hall in Moscow. Share this article Share

Russian Defense Ministry Building Catches Fire in Moscow
A fire broke out inside a building at the Russian Defense Ministry on Sunday in Moscow before being extinguished by firefighters after several hours.
According to Ilya Denisov, deputy head of Russian Emergency Situations Ministry's Moscow branch, the fire was localized in all premises at 16:30 Moscow time.
The blaze first broke out on the second floor of the building at around 10:00 Moscow time, probably caused by an electrical short circuit, Russian media quoted the Defense Ministry press service as saying.
I came up here to get some things done and then I saw thick smoke shrouding almost the entire center of Moscow, as well as the Kremlin. So I rushed here to see what happened. It is like everyone in central Moscow can smell the dense smoke, said Dmitry Goriukhino, a Moscow resident.
After the fire broke out, a total of 40 people escaped from the flaming building, while seven others were later evacuated by firefighters.
The fire covered an area of 3,500 square meters due to the old floorboards and strong wind. Firefighters managed to prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring buildings.
The Emergency Situations Ministry sent 253 people and 72 vehicles, including 17 lifting mechanisms, to put out the fire.
This happened in central Moscow, only hundreds of meters away from the Kremlin, and in such an important department as the Defense Ministry. It is indeed a severe accident, said Andrei Zyryanov, another Moscow resident.
The building is the former headquarters of the Defense Ministry near the Kremlin, which houses several departments in charge of procurement and other services.
According to the ministry, the fire will not affect its core operations since key departments have already moved into new buildings.

Russia: Company tests explosive it says is stronger and safer than TNT
A Russian manufacturer demonstrated what it says is a stronger, safer to handle, more easily portable and more environmentally friendly explosive, at a range in the Sverdlovsk Region on Wednesday. Sferit-DP was produced by Techmash to replace the commonly used TNT, providing what are said to be significant advantages for industrial use.
SOT, Anatoliy Gabidulin, Associate Director, Kalinovskiy Chemical Plant Joint-Stock Company (Russian): Sferit is based on emulsion in which microspheres are added during the production process.
SOT, Anatoli Gabidulin, Associate Director, Kalinovskiy Chemical Plant Joint-Stock Company (Russian): Sferit could be used in mines where similar emulsion explosives cannot be used. Though use of Sferit, all the demands of explosives that include trotyl will be met.
SOT, Anatoli Gabidulin, Associate Director, Kalinovskiy Chemical Plant Joint-Stock Company (Russian): Trotyl [TNT] has been present on the market for a very long time and it is quite expensive and dangerous to produce. That is why many enterprises are giving up producing it.

Timeline of Russian innovation
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

DLR Group to master plan adaptive reuse of coal-fired power plant in Shanghai
DLR Group has been selected to master plan a sustainable urban campus on the site of a decommissioned coal fired power plant in Shanghai. The project owner, Shanghai Electric Power Company. Ltd., hired DLR Group following a design competition for this unique adaptive reuse of Shanghai's iconic Yang Shu Pu Power Plant.
The scope is a sustainable redevelopment of a 35-acre tract of land occupied for the past 130 years by the Yang Shu Pu Power Plant. Shanghai Electric Power invited international firms to develop a sustainable master plan and design scheme to create a new commercial center and urban hub on the site. Teams were challenged to preserve and incorporate one of two, 590 foot tall smoke chimneys in the design and repurpose several historic buildings as significant elements within a new commercial development.
DLR Group's master plan solution organizes the site into four distinct zones with a deep sustainable commitment to onsite water preservation, energy production, and energy efficiency. A focal point of the design is a smoke chimney which serves as an anchor for six large rotating wind turbines, part of a comprehensive on-site power generation program. The historic buildings will be repurposed as mixed-use for retail, museum and galleries, exhibition space, education, and offices including spaces for Shanghai Electric.
The Yang Shu Pu Power Plant is situated on the western bank of the Huangpu River. It was the first power plant built in China and is one of the oldest coal fired power plants in the world. Decommissioned in 2010, Shanghai Electric Power has a vision for an adaptive reuse of the site as an essential component of a strategy for sustainable redevelopment in Shanghai.
The 35-acre site offers 1,050 feet of river front, 787,380 square feet of land for redevelopment and approximately 2.7 million square feet of above ground gross new development floor area.

SUMMARY
=======
Nicholas II or Nikolai II (Russian: Николай II Алекса́ндрович, tr. Nikolai II Aleksandrovich; 18 May [O.S. 6 May] 1868 – 17 July 1918), known as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer in the Russian Orthodox Church, was the last Emperor of Russia, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his forced abdication on 2 March 1917. His reign saw the fall of the Russian Empire from one of the foremost great powers of the world to economic and military collapse. He was given the nickname Nicholas the Bloody or Vile Nicholas by his political adversaries due to the Khodynka Tragedy, anti-Semitic pogroms, Bloody Sunday, the violent suppression of the 1905 Russian Revolution, the execution of political opponents, and his perceived responsibility for the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). Soviet historians portrayed Nicholas as a weak and incompetent leader whose decisions led to military defeats and the deaths of millions of his subjects.Russia was defeated in the 1904–1905 Russo-Japanese War which saw the annihilation of the reinforcing Russian Baltic Fleet after being sent on its round-the-world cruise at the naval Battle of Tsushima, off the coasts of Korea and Japan, the loss of Russian influence over Manchuria and Korea, and the Japanese annexation to the north of South Sakhalin Island. The Anglo-Russian Entente was designed to counter the German Empire's attempts to gain influence in the Middle East, but it also ended the Great Game of confrontation between Russia and the United Kingdom. When all Russian diplomatic efforts to prevent the First World War (1914–1918) failed, Nicholas approved the Imperial Russian Army mobilization on 30 July 1914 which gave Imperial Germany formal grounds to declare war on Russia on 1 August 1914. An estimated 3.3 million Russians were killed in the First World War. The Imperial Russian Army's severe losses, the High Command's incompetent management of the war efforts, and lack of food and supplies on the home front were all leading causes of the fall of the House of Romanov.
Following the February Revolution of 1917, Nicholas abdicated on behalf of himself and his son and heir, the Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich. He and his family were imprisoned and transferred to Tobolsk in late summer 1917. On 30 April 1918, Nicholas, Alexandra, and their daughter Maria were handed over to the local Ural Soviet council in Ekaterinburg (renamed Sverdlovsk during the Soviet era); the rest of the captives followed on 23 May. Nicholas and his family were executed by their Bolshevik guards on the night of 16/17 July 1918. The remains of the imperial family were later found, exhumed, identified and re-interred with elaborate State and Church ceremony in St. Petersburg on 17 July 1998 – 80 years later.
In 1981, Nicholas, his wife, and their children were recognized as martyrs by the Russian Orthodox Church Outsid ...

SUMMARY
=======
Saint Petersburg (Russian: Санкт-Петербу́рг, tr. Sankt-Peterburg, IPA: [ˈsankt pʲɪtʲɪrˈburk] (listen)) is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow, with 5 million inhabitants in 2012, part of the Saint Petersburg agglomeration with a population of 6.2 million (2015). An important Russian port on the Baltic Sea, it has a status of a federal subject (a federal city).
Situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, it was founded by Tsar Peter the Great on 27 May [O.S. 16 May] 1703. On 1 September 1914, the name was changed from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd (Russian: Петрогра́д, IPA: [pʲɪtrɐˈgrat]), on 26 January 1924 to Leningrad (Russian: Ленингра́д, IPA: [lʲɪnʲɪnˈgrat]), and on 1 October 1991 back to Saint Petersburg. During the periods 1713–1728 and 1732–1918, Saint Petersburg was the capital of Imperial Russia. In 1918, the central government bodies moved to Moscow, which is about 625 km (388 miles) to the south-east.
Saint Petersburg is one of the most modern cities of Russia, as well as its cultural capital. The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world.
Many foreign consulates, international corporations, banks and businesses have offices in Saint Petersburg.

Dissolution of the Soviet Union | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Dissolution of the Soviet Union
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The dissolution of the Soviet Union occurred on 26 December 1991, officially granting self-governing independence to the Republics of the Soviet Union (USSR). It was a result of the declaration number 142-Н of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. The declaration acknowledged the independence of the former Soviet republics and created the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), although five of the signatories ratified it much later or did not do so at all. On the previous day, 25 December, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, the eighth and final leader of the Soviet Union, resigned, declared his office extinct and handed over its powers—including control of the Soviet nuclear missile launching codes—to Russian President Boris Yeltsin. That evening at 7:32 p.m., the Soviet flag was lowered from the Kremlin for the last time and replaced with the pre-revolutionary Russian flag.Previously, from August to December all the individual republics, including Russia itself, had either seceded from the union or at the very least denounced the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR. The week before formal dissolution, eleven republics signed the Alma-Ata Protocol formally establishing the CIS and declaring that the USSR had ceased to exist. Both the Revolutions of 1989 and the dissolution of the USSR also marked the end of the Cold War.
Several of the former Soviet republics have retained close links with the Russian Federation and formed multilateral organizations such as the Commonwealth of Independent States, Eurasian Economic Community, the Union State, the Eurasian Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union to enhance economic and security cooperation. On the other hand, the Baltic states have joined NATO and the European Union.

SUMMARY
=======
The Space Race refers to the 20th-century competition between two Cold War rivals, the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States (US), for dominance in spaceflight capability. It had its origins in the missile-based nuclear arms race between the two nations that occurred following World War II, aided by captured German missile technology and personnel from the Aggregat program.
The technological superiority required for such dominance was seen as necessary for national security, and symbolic of ideological superiority. The Space Race spawned pioneering efforts to launch artificial satellites, uncrewed space probes of the Moon, Venus, and Mars, and human spaceflight in low Earth orbit and to the Moon.
The Space Race began on August 2, 1955, when the Soviet Union responded to the US announcement four days earlier of intent to launch artificial satellites for the International Geophysical Year, by declaring they would also launch a satellite in the near future. The Soviet Union beat the US to the first successful launch, with the October 4, 1957, orbiting of Sputnik 1, and later beat the US to have the first human in earth orbit, Yuri Gagarin, on April 12, 1961. The race peaked with the July 20, 1969, US landing of the first humans on the Moon with Apollo 11. The USSR attempted several crewed lunar missions but eventually canceled them and concentrated on Earth orbital space stations.
A period of détente followed with the April 1972 agreement on a co-operative Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, resulting in the July 1975 rendezvous in Earth orbit of a US astronaut crew with a Soviet cosmonaut crew. The end of the Space Race is harder to pinpoint than its beginning, but it was over by the December 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union, after which spaceflight cooperation between the US and Russia flourished.
The Space Race has left a legacy of Earth communications and weather satellites, and continuing human space presence on the International Space Station. It has also sparked increases in spending on education and research and development, which led to beneficial spin-off technologies.
