Russia: Putin visits arms manufacturer in Nizhny Novgorod
Russian President Vladimir Putin visited one of Russia’s most prominent arms manufacturers, the VKO Almaz-Antey factory in Nizhny Novgorod, on Tuesday.
The factory, which was opened in 2015, manufactures the S-400, S-500 and 50R6 Vityaz anti-aircraft missile systems as well as the radar complex Nebo-M.
During his visit, Putin was presented with a copy of the key to the Nebo-M, nicknamed the ‘Key of Heaven’, because the word ‘Nebo’ means ‘Heaven’ in Russian.
SOT, Vladimir Putin, Russian President (Russian): There is a lot of equipment produced by Russia. I asked how work on the design of an enterprise was managed and nothing here was left up to chance.

SOVIET NEWSREEL RUSSIAN SUPPORT OF VIETNAM, MIDDLE EAST NATIONS 50374
Made by the Soviet government, this newsreel is typical of those shown to audiences throughout the Eastern Bloc. Like the newsreels of the West, it contains various segments about sports, politics, and entertainment, but all through a Soviet lens. Notable segments include support of Vietnam in its fight against the USA and its allies, and support of the Arabs against the Israelis and USA.
Narration: Soccer. European championship qualifier, the first for our team, took place in the Central Stadium named after Lenin in Moscow. Soviet players (in the dark uniform) played a game against the national team of Austria. For a long time, neither team was succeeding. But yet another fierce attack by our players leads to a goal! (01.44) 1:0. The Austrian goalkeeper is worried. The game gets tense. Another great hit scores the Soviet team a point. It is only now that Austrian players manage to take the game to the Soviet team’s half of the field. It’s the 38th minute of the match. A hit, and the guests manage to win one score back. Nevertheless, the score does not remain 2:1 for long. Soon, it turns into 3:1, after one more goal into the Austrian net. (02.28) Yes, the Soviet team is obviously leading. But the Austrian team manages to take the initiative and score one more goal, 3:2. A few more minutes pass, and the score is equal, 3:3. Soviet players run towards the Austrian goalposts and succeed. Streltsov scores the winning goal. The Soviet team has made the first step towards the European championship finals. (03.04) The Secretary of the Party Organization of the plant, Kozlov, is speaking, ‘You all know well from history that the Middle East has always been the place that imperialists keep paying attention to. They have always been attracted by the Middle East oil. Currently, the fact of a treacherous attack, of naked aggression has become reality.’ (04.14)
The Komsomol Committee member, Nikitin, is speaking, ‘We are sure that our brothers, Arabian nations, will manage to curb the aggressor with the help of all the honest people of the world and stand up for their independence and territorial integrity. We support you, our Arab brothers!’ (04.31) ‘Hands off Arab soil!’, Soviet people claim. They unanimously demand that the military forces are immediately withdrawn from the Arab territories. (04.45)
Novorossiysk port. A special motor ship will set off from here to reach the shores of Vietnam. All this cargo has been purchased with the money of the Soviet people who volunteered to contribute to the peace fund. (05.03) A rally of workers of Novorossiysk supporting the people of Vietnam took place before the ship departed. ‘We are with you, Vietnam heroes!’, spokesmen were saying. The Soviet Union is faithful to its international duty, it won’t let down its brothers who are fighting a war against the criminal aggression of the American imperialism. Official representatives of Vietnam wholeheartedly thanked Soviet people for the support. Unbreakable friendship between the USSR and Vietnam is getting stronger. (06.05) A Soviet delegation led by Kosygin is departing for the Emergency Special Session of the UN General Assembly from Moscow. Delegations from Ukraine and Belorussia are taking the same flight to New York. (06.44) Young people of Tajikistan. They know about the times when Tajiks lived in shabby adobe buildings only from books and others’ stories. This is how the land of Tajikistan looks now. We are in the 'Moscow' collective farm, one of the most advanced in the Republic. Agricultural lands occupy more than 3,000 hectares. (07.25) A pumping station is located close to the fields. Cultivation of cotton crops is taking place in the collective farm at the moment. Deputy chairman of the collective farm, Ibragimov, and foreman, Safarov, are closely supervising the course of work. The ‘Moscow’ collective farm is a large multiple production farm. Its annual profit is about 5 million rubles. A boarding school has been built with the funds of the collective farm. (08.20) The new generation is growing up: young agronomists, mechanics-to-be, biologists. A bus with a sign ‘Attention! Children!’ appeared on the streets of Vilnius recently. It goes on a special route and passes by kindergartens. This innovation is very convenient for parents. In the mornings, they take children to the closest to their home bus station. Now, the bus conductor is responsible for the kids. In the bus, time flies unnoticed among friends on the way to the kindergarten. (09.18) Here, the trip is over.

Putin visits Seliger youth forum
During his visit to the Russian youth activists' annual Seliger forum, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin promised to join them in a weight-loss programme and tried his hand at free rock climbing, without safety equipment.
Mr Putin's helicopter landed at Seliger and was received into a tight circle of young students and activists, who immediately took the prime minister on a guided tour of their camp. They told him about the forum's various areas of work, and showed him their current projects, which were in turn useful, interesting, or just for fun.

Петроград в 1919 / Petrograd in 1919
Петроград в 1919
Petrograd in 1919
Music:
From the Allegro de Concert, Op. 18 by A. Scriabin
Petrograd, the cradle of the Russian Revolution was in a precarious position by 1919.
The previous year, after an interlude of 200 years, saw Moscow once again the capital of Russia. As a result Petrograd experienced mass exodus. The government bureaucracy with its attendant ministers, clerks, and military personnel , in tow, relocated to Moscow,.All able-bodied men were embroiled in the Civil War, and civilians absconded to the countryside where food was easier to procure. Likewise, the wealthy and aristocratic, a targeted class under the new regime of workers and peasants, fled to safer grounds or escaped abroad. Those who remained
were targets for the government: four Grand Dukes, including the Tsar's uncle, were shot in the Peter and Paul Fortress in 1918.
As a result of this turmoil, in four years the population of the city was reduced by more than two-thirds, sinking from 2,400,000 in 1916 to 740,000 in 1920.
Meanwhile, the battle for political education was also under way. Geographical signposts were used to educate the populace in the ideas and ideals of the new regime and to eliminate associations with St. Petersburg's imperial and religious past.
Street names with religious overtones were likewise deemed inappropriate and were renamed.Nevsky Prospect became Ulitsa Proletkulta. The Winter Palace, former residence of the Tsars, was renamed Palace of the Arts, and Palace Square became Ploshchad Uritskogo (Uritsky Square).
This year also saw the escalation of the Civil War. the White armies successfully advanced: from the south, under General Anton Denikin; from the east, under Admiral Aleksandr Vasilevich Kolchak; and from the northwest, under General Nikolai Nikolaevich Yudenich.
By 19 October Yudenich's troops had reached the outskirts of Petrograd. Some members of the Bolshevik central committee in Moscow were willing to give up Petrograd, but Trotsky refused to accept the loss of the city and personally organised its defences. Trotsky himself declared, It is impossible for a little army of 15,000 ex-officers to master a working-class capital of 700,000 inhabitants. He settled on a strategy of urban defence, proclaiming that the city would defend itself on its own ground and that the White Army would be lost in a labyrinth of fortified streets and there meet its grave. Utimately the Red Army won the day......

July 16, 2012 Russia_Putin oversees reconstruction work in flood-stricken town
President Vladimir Putin arrived in the south Russian town of Krymsk on Sunday, to oversee reconstruction work following a devastating flood.
The president is visiting the area for the second time since the June 7 disaster, which claimed the lives over 170 people in the Krasnodar region.
The president was shown the damaged zone from a helicopter, and later met with local authorities and government officials to discuss progress in rebuilding work and humanitarian aid for the thousands of people left homeless.
Around 7,200 homes were destroyed in the floods. Krymsk was by far the worst-hit, but the cities of Gelendzhik and Novorossiysk also suffered significant damage.

Kryvyi Rih
Kryvyi Rih or Krivoi Rog is a city in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine; it is the 8th most populous city in the country. It lies within a large urban area, administratively, incorporated with Kryvyi Rih Municipality as a city of region significance. It also serves as the administrative center of the district although it is not part of it. The city extends for 126 km from north to south.
Standing on the Saksahan and Inhulets river, Kryvyi Rih has been a major settlement for most of its history, going back to its founding as a postal city in 1775 by the Cossaks. A military settlement until 1860, it was part of Kherson, although it was incorporated during the 20th century with areas of Yekaterinoslav. The township began to expand at an astonishing rate at the beginning of the 1880s. Kryvyi Rih's urbanization was unplanned; French and English investment was brought on by a boom in metallurgy, iron mining and investigation of rich deposits of iron ore. The building of the Yekateryninska Railway in 1884 built for transportation of ore to Donbas transformed Kryvyi Rih into a major industry town that culminated in city status in 1919. Nationalization and investment spurred by soviet authorities led to extensive growth. In 1934 Kryvorizhstal was built, the first of more than 500 factories. The city also gave rise to the foundation of Kryvyi Rih National University. Financially, the city's growth after the nazi occupation increased due to economic reforms. Also, investment spurred by Ukrainian Independence, market economy and the 2014 revolution led to extensive regeneration, particularly in the city centre.

SUMMARY
=======
Russia (Russian: Росси́я, tr. Rossiya, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijə]), officially the Russian Federation (Russian: Росси́йская Федера́ция, tr. Rossiyskaya Federatsiya, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijskəjə fʲɪdʲɪˈratsɨjə]), is a country in Eurasia. At 17,125,200 square kilometres (6,612,100 sq mi), Russia is the largest country in the world by area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area, and the ninth most populous, with about 144.5 million people as of 2018, excluding Crimea. About 77% of the population live in the western, European part of the country. Russia's capital, Moscow, is the largest metropolitan area in Europe proper and one of the largest cities in the world; other major cities include Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Nizhny Novgorod. Extending across the entirety of Northern Asia and much of Eastern Europe, Russia spans eleven time zones and incorporates a wide range of environments and landforms. From northwest to southeast, Russia shares land borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (both with Kaliningrad Oblast), Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and North Korea. It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait.
The East Slavs emerged as a recognizable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. Founded and ruled by a Varangian warrior elite and their descendants, the medieval state of Rus arose in the 9th century. In 988 it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire, beginning the synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the next millennium. Rus' ultimately disintegrated into a number of smaller states; most of the Rus' lands were overrun by the Mongol invasion and became tributaries of the nomadic Golden Horde in the 13th century. The Grand Duchy of Moscow gradually reunified the surrounding Russian principalities, achieved independence from the Golden Horde. By the 18th century, the nation had greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the Russian Empire, which was the third largest empire in history, stretching from Poland on the west to Alaska on the east.Following the Russian Revolution, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic became the largest and leading constituent of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the world's first constitutionally socialist state. The Soviet Union played a decisive role in the Allied victory in World War II, and emerged as a recognized superpower and rival to the United States during the Cold War. The Soviet era saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first human-made satellite and the launching of the first humans in space. By the end of 1990, the Soviet Union had the world's second largest economy, largest standing military in the world and the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, twelve independent republics emerged from the USSR: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and the Baltic states regained independence: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania; the Russian SFSR reconstituted itself as the Russian Federation and is recognized as the continuing legal personality and a successor of the Soviet Union. It is governed as a federal semi-presidential republic.
Russia's economy ranks as the twelfth largest by nominal GDP and sixth largest by purchasing power parity in 2015. Russia's extensive mineral and energy resources are the largest such reserves in the world, making it one of the leading producers of oil and natural gas globally. The country is one of the five recognized nuclear weapons states and possesses the largest stockpile of weapons ...
