Музе́й-запове́дник Цари́цыно - Tsaritsyno museum and reserve Moscow
музе́й-запове́дник Цари́цыно The temple is located in the Southern Administrative District of Moscow, at the Museum-Preserve Tsarina. It is part of the Tsaritsyn palace and park ensemble. Originally on the site of the church was a wooden church, ... about five chapters, covered with scales green, painted with three colors, before the church bell ... chopped, wood, painted in different colors, [1] was built as a parish Streshneva nobles in their name, then bore the name The black dirt. A stone church was erected in 1722 by order of the political activist and scholar, the Ruler of Moldavia (1710-1711 years) Prince DK Cantemir. In the years 1759-1765 at the behest of Matvei Dmitrievich Kantemir church was completely rebuilt (architect unknown). It was built a chapel in the name of the northern Great Demetrius of Thessalonica, created in memory of his father. Soon the church became the prince's tomb - in 1771 it was buried Prince Kantemir MD, and later his wife AY Cantemir. In 1775 for the erection of the palace Tsaritsyn Catherine II bought from Kantemirov their estate. The architect Vasily Bazhenov in the drafting of the palace complex has kept the church in the ensemble of buildings erected.
After creating an ensemble of palace temple was rebuilt in the years 1883-1885 under the supervision of the PN Avalanche: there was a chapel south of the Icon of Kazan Mother of God, has been expanded refectory. The bell tower has undergone significant changes: fixed on a small bunk Bazhenov plans, not above the dome of the temple itself (and thus do not give the height of surrounding buildings of the palace), it was rebuilt in three tiers, becoming the dominant vertical construction. [2] [3]. Sanctification of waters Chapel at the Church
In 1939 the church was closed. In the church building placed a transformer substation in the 1970s - a printing house, and from 1975 - carpentry shop Soyuzrestavratsii. In 1990 the church was handed over for use by the community of believers, and re-consecrated. Abbot was appointed Archpriest George Breev. Were carried out restoration work, which ended in 1998. Храм расположен в Южном административном округе Москвы, на территории Музея-заповедника «Царицыно». Является частью Царицынского дворцово-паркового ансамбля. Первоначально на месте храма находилась деревянная церковь «...о пяти главах, крыта чешуею зеленью, расписана тремя красками, ...перед церковью колокольня рубленая, деревянная, расписана красками разными»,[1] построенная боярами Стрешневыми как приходская в их имении, носившем тогда название «Чёрная грязь». Каменный храм был возведён в 1722 году по заказу политического деятеля и учёного, господаря Молдавии (1710—1711 годы) князя Д. К. Кантемира. В 1759—1765 годах по воле Матвея Дмитриевича Кантемира храм был полностью перестроен (архитектор неизвестен). Был построен северный придел во имя великомученика Димитрия Солунского, созданный в память отца. Вскоре храм стал княжеской усыпальницей — в 1771 году в нём погребли князя М. Д. Кантемира, а позднее и его супругу А. Я. Кантемир. В 1775 году для возведения Царицынского дворца Екатерина II выкупила у Кантемиров их имение. Архитектор Василий Баженов при составлении проекта дворцового комплекса сохранил церковь в ансамбле возводимых построек.
Red Square - MOSCOW (Directed by Sai Laung Mone - Myanmar)
RED SQUARE is the most famous city square in Moscow. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitay-gorod (China-Town). As major streets of Moscow radiate from here in all directions, being promoted to major highways outside the city, the Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and of all Russia.
During the Soviet era, Red Square maintained its significance, becoming the main square in the life of the new state. Besides being the official address of the Soviet government it was renowned as the location for military parades. Kazan Cathedral and Iverskaya Chapel with the Resurrection Gates were demolished to make room for heavy military vehicles driving through the square (both were later rebuilt after the fall of the Soviet Union). There were plans to demolish Moscow's most recognized building, Saint Basil's Cathedral, as well.
Each building in Red Square is a legend in its own right. One of these is Lenin's Mausoleum, where the embalmed body of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union, is displayed. Nearby is the elaborate brightly-domed Saint Basil's Cathedral and also the palaces and cathedrals of the Kremlin.
On the eastern side of the square is the GUM department store, and next to it the restored Kazan Cathedral. The northern side is occupied by the State Historical Museum, whose outlines echo those of Kremlin towers. The Iberian Gate and Chapel have been rebuilt to the northwest.
The only sculptured monument on the square is a bronze statue of Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, who helped to clear Moscow from the Polish invaders in 1612, during the Times of Trouble. Nearby is the so-called Lobnoye Mesto, a circular platform where public ceremonies used to take place. The square itself is around 330 meters (1100 feet) long and 70 meters (230 feet) wide.

Коломенское парк музей-заповедник | Москва
Коломенское музей-заповедник. Москва. Древнее подмосковное село Коломенское известно еще с начала XIV столетия. Впервые о нем упоминает духовная грамота Ивана Калиты. Издавна это село, расположенное на высоком берегу над поймой Москвы-реки, служило летней резиденцией московских князей и царей. Особенно любил и обустраивал его великий князь Василий III, в годы правления которого в Коломенском был построен знаменитый храм Вознесения Господня – главное и самое красивое здание дворцового села. В непосредственной близости от церкви Вознесения находятся еще три памятника архитектуры: Георгиевская колокольня (XVI в.), Водовзводная башня (XVII в.), храм Казанской иконы Божьей Матери.

Russia/Irkutsk (Wooden architecture in Irkutks) Part 24
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Wooden architecture in Irkutks:
Irkutsk has the biggest range of 19th century wooden architecture in Siberia. Out of all Siberian towns, only Irkutsk and Tobolsk have preserved their historic face. Wooden houses can be found in the centre of Irkutsk. If you walk 500m from Lenin's monument down Lenin street towards Krestovozdvizhenskaia church, you will reach the old part of Irkutsk with its characteristic wooden architecture. Timiriazeva, Podgornaia and Lapina streets are some of the streets near the church not destroyed by the 1879 fire.
THE HOUSE OF THE SHASTINS
Engelsa, 21.
The house was built at the end of the 19th century and is better known as the 'Kruzhevnoi dom' ('the lacy house'). In 1999 a complete restoration of the Shastins' homestead was completed – the building now accommodates representatives of the House of Europe.
SUKACHEVA'S HOMESTEAD
On the corner of ulitsa Dekabrskikh Sobitii and ulitsa Sovetskaia.
The homestead was built at the end of the 19th century and consists of several wooden houses. The old home of V.P.Sukachev was converted into an art gallery and his collection is now the core of the main exhibition at the Irkutsk Art Museum. Also on site are the buildings of the girls' school which Sukachev built, funded and maintained, the servants' houses, and the stable. The house where Vladimir Platonovich and his family lived has been replaced by a tank. The homestead is currently undergoing restoration.
????Одно из загадочных и древних мест в Москве. Коломенское.
???? Коломенское - одно из загадочных и древних мест в Москве.
Музей Коломенское — парковый комплекс на юге столицы, часть объединенного государственного заповедника, куда
входит еще несколько крупных парковых зон Москвы.
Коломенское привлекательно далеко не только своими историческими раритетами, но и прекрасной природой. Благоустроенная территория испещрена чудесными тропинками, которые так и манят прогуляться по ним куда-нибудь вглубь парка, размышляя о чем-то важном, катить впереди коляску или пройтись вдвоем, почитать книжку в тени яблоневых садов.
И здесь не важно, какое время года вы застали: каждый сезон красив по-своему. Летом есть, где укрыться от палящего солнца, осенью время любоваться всеми оттенками увядающей листвы, весной наблюдать как сходит лед на Москва-реке и местных прудах.
Зимой Коломенское превращается в место веселых зимних забав для всей семьи с коньками, горками, катанием на ватрушках и горячим сбитнем.

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

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. However, Russia recognises two more countries that border it, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, both of which are internationally recognized as parts of Georgia.
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 th ...

Rossiyskaya Federatsiya, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijskəjə fʲɪdʲɪˈratsɨjə]), is a transcontinental country in Eastern Europe and North Asia. At 17,125,200 square kilometres (6,612,100 sq mi), Russia is by a considerable margin 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 146.77 million people as of 2019, including Crimea.

It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait. However, Russia recognises two more countries that border it, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, both of which are internationally recognized as parts of Georgia.

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 and achieved independence from the Golden Horde.
