Russia: Putin bemoans Russia's football team form during Yaroslavl plant visit

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Autodiesel motor plant, in Yaroslavl, on Saturday where he was shown the latest products and met with the company's employees. During his visit Putin conducted a question and answer session with the company's employees in which he discussed a wide range of issues.

¤SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): I think you will understand me because I have no right to support a certain team; I support national teams [both hockey and football]. Although I love to watch a beautiful game, to tell the truth, we have not seen a beautiful game from national team [football] for a long time. And hockey players please us, although there is still much work to do. And first of all it is necessary to work with young, promising athletes. It is necessary to create [the right] conditions for self-realisation, just like in any other sphere.

SOT, employee (Russian): We want to know if your job is difficult.

Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): Difficult? No. Just blah-blah-blah and that is all.

employee (Russian): We want to know the positive and negative sides.

Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): Well, frankly speaking the positive side of my job is no different from the positive of yours. When it gives satisfaction, when you achieve the aim, doing what is necessary, when it is beneficial for those for whom you work, there is satisfaction from the received outcome. Speaking about negative sides… well, there are a lot of negative emotions, you cannot do anything about this. But in your work, too, when something goes wrong, someone fails or encounters some other unforeseen circumstances. But this is the beauty of our work, that we are able to overcome difficulties and achieve results. This is what I wish for you.

Huge Crowds Fill the Streets for Eid al-Fitr Prayer in Moscow, Russia

Bowing their heads in prayer, Muslim worshipers gather for Eid al-Fitr prayer at the Moscow Cathedral Mosque. The holiday marks the end of the Ramadan fast. After prayers, the congregation enjoys a freshly-cooked meal. The mosque's cook boils huge cauldrons of traditional plov - a rice-based dish with meat and vegetables. After the feast, there are rides and a bouncy castle for children. This year around 3,100 people attended prayers at the mosque. An estimated 20 million of Russia's population are Muslim.

Russia: Deputy PM Shuvalov emphasises World Cup legacy in Yekaterinburg

Russia’s First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov said on Tuesday that the “legacy” of the 2018 World Cup will be as important as the competition itself. He was speaking while inspecting the progress of the construction of Yekaterinburg’s Central Stadium, which will host several World Cup matches.

SOT, Igor Shuvalov, Russian First Deputy Prime Minister (Russian): The city is successfully developing. One can see that from the start, when you arrive at the airport. Koltsovo Airport is one of the best complexes for receiving guests in our country.

SOT, Igor Shuvalov, Russian First Deputy Prime Minister (Russian): We are pleased with the preparation work for the championship. The most important thing is that both the governor and the mayor, as well as the city’s team and regional authorities, are all determined to leave a big legacy. The championship will last one month [and] it will be important for us to show what the country has achieved in the development of such infrastructure, but more important is what will be left for the people of the city and guests of Yekaterinburg after the championship ends. And it is very important that the quality of this legacy concerns everyone.

SCRIPT

A new tramway car was shown off on Wednesday at the Innoprom 2014 tech expo in Ekaterinburg. The streetcar is know as the 'Russia One,' or R1 for short. It was developed by a subsidiary of Uralvagonzavod, a company better known for producing tanks.

With its slick design the R1 is said to resemble a huge smartphone, with some of the designers dubbing it an iPhone on rails. The tram features grooved aluminum stepping boards with built-in electric heaters to prevent icing during winter, as well as outer glass panels with special fittings for swift replacement. Electric batteries allow the tram to travel 50km (31 miles) autonomously.

It is estimated that the production version of the tram will cost around €1 million ($1.36 million) and will be similar to the prototype on display at the expo. The tram is expected to be deployed throughout Russia by 2017, ready for when Russia host the next FIFA World Cup.

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
=======
Moscow (; Russian: Москва́, tr. Moskvá, IPA: [mɐˈskva] (listen)) is the capital and most populous city of Russia, with 13.2 million residents within the city limits and 17 million within the urban area. Moscow is one of Russia's federal cities.
Moscow is a major political, economic, cultural, and scientific centre of Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as the largest city (both by population and by area) entirely on the European continent. By broader definitions Moscow is among the world's largest cities, being the 14th largest metro area, the 18th largest agglomeration, the 14th largest urban area, and the 11th largest by population within city limits worldwide. According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has been ranked as the ninth most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the world's largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is also one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world according to the MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index.
Moscow is the northernmost and coldest megacity and metropolis on Earth. It is home to the Ostankino Tower, the tallest free standing structure in Europe; the Federation Tower, the second-tallest skyscraper in Europe; and the Moscow International Business Center. By its territorial expansion on July 1 2012 southwest into the Moscow Oblast, the area of the capital more than doubled, going from 1,091 to 2,511 square kilometers (421 to 970 sq mi), resulting in Moscow becoming the largest city on the European continent by area; it also gained an additional population of 233,000 people.Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, making it Europe's most populated inland city. The city is well known for its architecture, particularly its historic buildings such as Saint Basil's Cathedral with its colourful architectural style. With over 40 percent of its territory covered by greenery, it is one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world, having the largest forest in an urban area within its borders—more than any other major city—even before its expansion in 2012.
The city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and the subsequent Tsardom of Russia to the Russian Empire to the Soviet Union and the contemporary Russian Federation.
Moscow is the seat of power of the Government of Russia, being the site of the Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is today the residence for work of the President of Russia. The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament (the State Duma and the Federation Council) also sit in the city. Moscow is considered the centre of Russian culture, having served as the home of Russian artists, scientists and sports figures and because of the presence of museums, academic and political institutions and theatres.
The city is served by a transit network, which includes four international airports, nine railway terminals, numerous trams, a monorail system and one of the deepest underground rapid transit systems in the world, the Moscow Metro, the fourth-largest in the world and largest outside Asia in terms of passenger numbers, and the busiest in Europe. It is recognised as one of the city's landmarks due to the rich architecture of its 200 stations.Moscow has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The Third Rome (Третий Рим), the Whitestone One (Белокаменная), the First Throne (Первопрестольная), the Forty Soroks (Сорок Сороков) (sorok meaning both forty, a great many and a district or parish in Old Russian).
Moscow is also one of the twelve Hero Cities. The demonym for a Moscow res ...

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 ...

Человек после войны / Man after war

Несколько недель назад вы смотрели выпуск с Юрием Шевчуком - тот самый, который получился совсем не про музыку. В числе прочего там было про исследовательский опыт Шевчука: в 1995 году он приезжал в Чечню, встречался с российскими бойцами, пел им песни и снимал на видео каждый свой шаг. Возможно, самое страшное видео - перекличка бойцов, которую он там проводит:

По легенде - важно: по легенде - через несколько дней из этих парней погибли почти все. Мы не знаем, так это или нет, но знаем, что как минимум один человек с этого видео жив. Мы нашли его совершенно случайно - благодаря одному из наших зрителей. Бойца зовут Олег Ситников, он живет в Калининграде очень тихой и очень скромной жизнью. Но перед тем как в этой жизни оказаться, он долгие годы бухал и искал хоть какие-то интересы.

Мы приехали к нему в гости, чтобы показать, как живут люди, вернувшиеся с войны. Чечня была много лет назад, но в самых разных войнах мы участвуем и сейчас.

Здорово, если это не пригодится вам. К сожалению, кому-то это пригодится точно.
