The City Of Ufa. Real Russia ep.100 (4K)
More than two years during hundred of episodes I tell you about Russia and mostly about my homeland – the city of Ufa but always it is an insights into certain places and events.
In this video is about the city of Ufa in general. In one single episode and in simple words, I try to give you maximum of imagination about Ufa, the host of BRICS and SCO Summits in 2015!
The city of Ufa located in about 1 400 km east from the capital of Russia, Moscow. It takes 30 hours by train or 2 hours by plane to get to Ufa from Moscow.
Ufa is the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan of Russia.
The city of Ufa founded in 1574 on the orders of Iva The Terrible. It began as a fortress on a mountain.
Good choice because If somebody would try to attack, they will have to go through the river, climb on a mountain and get through the high walls of the fortress!
Population of Ufa is 1.2M citizens. Big city which is came out of just a small fortress.
Russian Federation consisted of 85 federal territorial subjects, including 22 republics. All republics dedicated to the indigenous ethnic groups of people who lived and live on those territories. So Bashkortostan is an indigenous land where people of Bashkir nation lived. That’s why it is Bashkortostan.
Bashkortostan have the Head of the Republic and State Assembly which is called Kurultay!
But the State Assembly of Bashkortostan controls mostly the questions of the whole republic. What about the city of Ufa, it is more in a power of the city administration.
The city manager and 35 elected deputies are working in the City Council and take care of Ufa.
Nowadays the Republic of Bashkortostan is one of the biggest providers of oil in Russia.
The first oil deposit on a territory of our republic researched in 1932 and in 5 years after that was build the first refinery. An oil industry is a head of economy which engage thousands of people all over republic and moves many other business activities like huge chemical, machine and energy industry.
Bashkir people have their own national language – Bashkir language. But in the same time Bashkortostan is a part of Russia and a lot of Russians lives there as well.
So as a result here we have two official languages – Russian and Bashkir.
Bashkirs and Russians are not only belong to different ethnic groups and have different languages, but have a different religions as well. Russians are mostly dedicated to an Orthodox Christianity and Bashkirs are into so called Sunni Islam. They are Muslims of Sunny Islam.
So in Ufa we have as a lot of mosques, as churches.
The difference in religions never caused any problems between Russians and Bashkirs.
Bashkortostan is really very friendly region of Russia. No wonder why in Ufa we have the House of People’s Friendship, also knows as a Congress Hall. It’s the building which is architected in collaboration with Japanese architect Kiokadzu Arai.
It's going to be one of the main places of the Summits of BRICS and SCO in July of this year. BRICS is a union of Brasil, Russia, India, China and South Africa and SCO is a Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
These summits are interesting to me at least because they will attract thousands of people from so many countries to visit our city. That is also a great thing which is drive an economy of our region. For example, upcoming summits was a key factor for constructing at once 9 new hotels in Ufa (including Hilton, Hampton by Hilton, Sheraton and others).
I invite everyone to come to visit Ufa. With all the new hotels you’re definitely will not have a problems with place to live.
You can come to Ufa all possible ways.
Airport of Ufa is one of the largest in Russia and provide as regular domestic flights, as international flights. It works since 1938.
The Railway Station of Ufa is one of the main railway centers in Russia which has a direct railways to 18 of 20 biggest cities of the country. Everyday it serve 60 long-distance trains from all over Russia.
Ufa is the only city of Russia which isconnected with Moscow in the same time by two interstate routes - M5 and M7.
Ufa as the city based in 1574 have a huge history. When you will walk here you can do it around a great buildings made in best traditions of 19th century in the historical center of Ufa. You can enjoy walking through the Soviet district around so called Stalins and so called Khruschevs buildings. You may feel the vibe of greyness but quiet years of a panel residential buildings of the late Soviet Union period.
Welcome to the city of Ufa! Welcome to the Republic of Bashkortostan!

Thousands in Russia celebrate ancient Tatar festival
(2 Jul 2018) LEADIN:
Russians are celebrating an ancient festival which commemorates the end of the spring planting.
It's a time for everyone to let their hair down and party.
STORYLINE:
This is what Sabantuy looks like.
It's an ancient holiday of Bashkirs and Tatars, people who originated from the Ural and Caucasus mountains near eastern Siberia.
These crowds are from the Sverdlovsk region.
This year there is a new entertainment on the list: the wild goose chase.
It's taking place in addition to traditional types of amusements such as Koresh belt wrestling and horse riding.
The guests are obviously pleased with the novelty and prepare for a programme of goose races.
The geese are named after favourite football stars, some of whom are playing in the world cup.
There's Ronaldo, Messi and Suares, along with some Russian football players like Cheryshev and Dzyuba.
The geese are chosen from largest and strongest specimens from the neighbouring farms.
The bird's personality is also important, the natural leaders of the flock immediately get to the shortlist.
The geese also get a special diet and training, just as though they were real athletes.
The results, however, are determined not only by the name, strength and agility of the goose, but also by the tactics of the driver.
Trainer Aleksey Novokrechshenov is happy to give advise to uninitiated players.
He warns: You need to cheer on the geese, you shouldn't take them with your hands, (or) touch them by the feet, etc, so, (you can cheer them on) by clapping, shouting, and also (you shouldn't) approach the geese close, they are running at a distance, if it (the geese) feels you catch up with it, it can turn and run in the opposite direction.
There are 18 feathered athletes competing on this 30 metre (98 foot) track, nudged on by the cheers of the crowds and the clapping of the goose drivers.
Everyone is allowed to take part in the goose race, children as well as adults, and often parents run along with their children, clapping and screaming, urging the chosen goose to the finish.
Tatyana Komleva and her son Vladislav are celebrating victory.
We just came to the festival and straight away saw the goose races, we liked it very much, my son wanted to run, and we took which place? she asks.
Vladislav immediately answers: The first! This was very good for me!
Komleva agrees: We felt very good, we won, and we like it all very much.
The name of the Sabantuy festival can be translated as Festival of the Plough. The first half of the word means plough.
The celebration is a very old tradition among farming communities going back to the times when Bashkir and Tatar nations were roaming tribes.
When the hard work in the fields was completed everybody celebrated with parties, food and a well-deserved rest.
According to some sources, the celebrations lasted for seven days.
As in ancient times, men still demonstrate their strength and agility and other skills prized by the Tatars.
More traditional entertainments also draw a lot of attention at the festival, for example, climbing up a vertical pole.
According to the rules, you need to climb a smooth polished pillar 19.5 meters high to the very top.
This man makes it look easy, but it's anything but.
Judge Dmitry Luzhetsky says: Those people who reach the top they have some experience, they've been doing it for quite a long time. Everybody has their own techniques, some pour water on themselves, some climb up without clothes, everybody has a different approach.

Zaryadye Park is the best park in Russia
Zaryadye Park is a landscape urban park located adjacent to Red Square in Moscow, Russia on the site of the former Rossiya Hotel. Zaryadye Park is the first public park built in Moscow for over 50 years, the last being the Soviet Friendship Park built for the 1957 Festival of Youth and Students. The area of the park's facilities is almost 78,000 square meters, of which 25,200 square meters will be occupied by a multipurpose concert hall.
Plans for a new park were first raised in 2012 when the city of Moscow and its chief architect Sergey Kuznetsov organized a design competition to transform the historically privatized, commercial Zaryadye area into a public park. An international design consortium led by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) with Hargreaves Associates, Citymakers and BuroHappold Engineering was selected out of 90 submissions from 27 different countries. The selected competition design sought to create a park borne of Russian and Muscovite heritage.
The main feature of the park is its facilities hidden under the landscape while the park itself is divided into four climatic zones: forest, steppe, tundra, and the floodplains.
Another advantage of the new park is a picturesque view of the Kremlin, which visitors can enjoy from a floating bridge over the Moskva River.

Saint Petersburg The Magnificent (Санкт-Петербург Великолепный). #Timelapse / Hyperlapse
Это видео об одном из самых прекрасных городов мира, с множеством прекрасных памятников истории, культуры и архитектуры. Город является неформальной северной столицей России и прежде был официальной столицей Российской империи. В Санкт-Петербурге возможно увидеть: белые ночи, множество рек и каналов, набережных и проспектов, разводных мостов (самый знаменитый из них Дворцовый мост), резиденции русских императоров с их дворцово-парковыми ансамблями, по праву считаются красивейшими в Европе, среди них: Петергоф, Царское село, Зимний и Екатерининский дворец со знаменитой на весь мир янтарной комнатой, Большой Гатчинский дворец, Михайловский замок и многие другие. На весь мир знаменит Мариинский театр, Петергоф (русский Версаль), Храм Спас на крови, Зимний дворец и его дворцовая площадь и многое многое другое. В году 1941-1943 Санкт-Петербург (тогда Ленинград) находился 872 дня в блокаде Немецко фашистских войск, в ходе которой погибло от голода и в ходе боёв около 1 миллиона жителей и воинов оборонявших город. Город был серьезно разрушен, но не сдавался не смотря ни на что. 27 января 1944 блокада была снята. В настоящий момент ничто кроме памяти россиян не напоминает о том колоссальном уроне нанесенном немецкими войсками. Сегодня город в великолепном состоянии и является одним из 10 наиболее популярных городов у туристов со всего мира, благодаря своему величию и красоте. Именно поэтому я назвал это видео Санкт-Петербург Великолепный. Добро пожаловать в Санкт-Петербург!
