Agafia. Hermit Surviving in Russian Wilderness for 70 years
More films about religion:
Soon after this film aired, Agafia found a helper who has now been living with her for more than a year. Georgy Danilov, 53, is from Orenburg. He is an Old Believer. It was Agafia’s spiritual father who found and blessed her helper. Georgy has been doing the toughest chores for almost two years: he chops firewood, brings water from the river, and digs the vegetable garden. Agafia doesn’t always see eye to eye with Georgy. She views him as a novice and demands his full obedience and submission, which doesn’t always sit well with Georgy. Despite their differences, they try to find common ground. Apart from the main helper, volunteers and students from various Russian cities also come to Agafia’s hut to help her out.
In the mid-17th century, the leader of Russia’s Orthodox Church, Patriarch Nikon, introduced radical reforms in Russia. Many couldn’t accept the changes and became known as “Old Believers”. To avoid religious persecution first from the Orthodox Church and then from the Soviets, families fled to some of the most remote corners of the world. In 1978, one such family was discovered by a group of geologists in the remote Russian Republic of Khakassia, Siberia. The Lykovs looked as if they belonged to a previous century: they dressed in homespun clothes and used primitive instruments in their everyday life. They were completely self-sufficient and still highly religious.
Today, Agafia, 70, is the last surviving member of this family. When RT Doc filmmakers met her, she was in desperate need of a helper. They encourage her to write a letter to Old Believers everywhere in an attempt to find one. This letter, written in Old Slavonic language, is available on our site.
The film crew also interviews Erofey Sedov, a former drilling geologist. He was one of those who discovered the Lykovs and told the world about them. He got to know them well and is now ready to share information that will make us see the familiar story of this family of hermits in a different light. But is any of it true?

Russian Granny Appeals To Barack Obama
Don't go to war, Obama, - warns an ordinary Russian grandma (babushka). Instead come to visit me, we'll eat blinis and pray together!
She is bold, passionate and warm-hearted, and has lots of sensible advises to the president of the United States. Although this old Russian lady is not the author of the poem - her feelings are genuine and heart-felt.
I'm sure that many thousands of others Russian grandmas would put their names under each word of this positive message.
The words: Lena Vasilek (Lenavasilek.ru)
Translation: Natasha Brown
Original video: Published on Apr 8, 2014
Dearest President Obama!
I appeal to you, a simple grandma
from Orenburg, the steppe province,
I'll talk to you in good conscience!
Stop, my dear, your angry flood,
You will choke on someone else's blood!
Our kids are not guilty to answer for
the rich that have waged this war!
Angry demons have crept into your head.
You will choke on Russians like I said!
Forgive me, Obama, you have no idea
that even my relatives live in Crimea!
Whatever you say, whatever you vote
Crimea was ever for Russia, note!
You say: Democracy again and again
but you are with the fascist brethren!
Be careful with Bandera followers
I know these ugly-mugged warriors.
They came to our village anytime!
They didn't hesitate to kill anyone!
I'm talking like your own grandma:
too much anger in you, dear Obama!
If you would only pray and repent
you wouldn't toil yourself, you'll be content!
And I promise to you and I swear
to say in the temple of God a prayer.
Reconcile with Vladimir, try,
so that all the fascist scum die!
Obamushka, come to me, to our area!
We'll pray together for America.
I'll introduce you to our church Father!
You will wash your face with holy water!
I'll make pancakes when you are here!
Do not go to war, my dear!

All episodes:
Sciences and technology in the beginning of XX century were developing at a fast pace: radio, electricity, cinematograph, automobiles… Millions of Europeans could hardly catch up with the swift scientific and technological advance and they were unable to surmise that something threatens their lives. But in 1914 a war emerged that humanity had never seen before. The first war of armored machines and airplanes, machineguns and poison gases. The war that began with the murder of two people and ended with over 10 million deaths and the ruining of four empires. World War I that changed the face of Europe and the whole world for ever.

Star Media and Babich Design proudly present a major new 8-part documentary series, World War I. The year 2014 marks the centenary of the start of one of the most devastating wars in human history, which claimed the lives of ten million soldiers and over twenty million civilians, changing the world and global civilization forever.
World War I shows the impact of the war on the nations of the Russian Empire - the extraordinary heroism, duty and honour paid by so many people to a country that underwent horrific ordeals to defend itself from outside enemies, only to collapse after being unable to solve its own internal problems.
Epic battles and attacks on villages, towns, cities and fortifications, air raids and cavalry campaigns, the use of poison gases and the first tanks are all recreated on an impressive scale.
And the latest technological and engineering achievements of the time - aeroplanes, airships, submarines, guns, tanks and armoured vehicles - all built to supply a terrifying new age of warfare - are brought to life with stunning and vivid CGI animation and special effects.

Orthodox Baptism
After witnessing the Othodox Baptism for the first time in The Ural River during last year's winter in Atyrau Kazakhstan, I decided to give it a go this year at its annual ritual on 19th January 2009. Coming from the tropical climate of Malaysia, it was a very big challenge to dip my self in the cold icy water and sub-zero surface temperature.
It was certainly an exciting and worthwhile experience. I am probably the few privileged Malaysians or even have made history of being the First Malaysian participating in this ritual. I will certainly do it again next winter.
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!! MALAYSIA CAN DO!!!!

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
=======
Timur (Persian: تیمور Temūr, Chagatai: Temür; 9 April 1336 – 18 February 1405), historically known as Amir Timur and Tamerlane (Persian: تيمور لنگ Temūr(-i) Lang, Timur the Lame), was a Turco-Mongol conqueror. As the founder of the Timurid Empire in Persia and Central Asia, he became the first ruler in the Timurid dynasty. According to John Joseph Saunders, Timur was the product of an islamized and iranized society, and not steppe nomadic.Born into the Barlas confederation in Transoxiana (in modern-day Uzbekistan) on 9 April 1336, Timur gained control of the western Chagatai Khanate by 1370. From that base, he led military campaigns across Western, South and Central Asia, the Caucasus and southern Russia, and emerged as the most powerful ruler in the Muslim world after defeating the Mamluks of Egypt and Syria, the emerging Ottoman Empire, and the declining Delhi Sultanate. From these conquests, he founded the Timurid Empire, but this empire fragmented shortly after his death.
Timur was the last of the great nomadic conquerors of the Eurasian Steppe, and his empire set the stage for the rise of the more structured and lasting Gunpowder Empires in the 16th and 17th centuries. Timur envisioned the restoration of the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan (died 1227). According to Beatrice Forbes Manz, in his formal correspondence Temur continued throughout his life to portray himself as the restorer of Chinggisid rights. He justified his Iranian, Mamluk, and Ottoman campaigns as a re-imposition of legitimate Mongol control over lands taken by usurpers. To legitimize his conquests, Timur relied on Islamic symbols and language, referred to himself as the Sword of Islam, and patronized educational and religious institutions. He converted nearly all the Borjigin leaders to Islam during his lifetime. Timur decisively defeated the Christian Knights Hospitaller at the Siege of Smyrna, styling himself a ghazi. By the end of his reign, Timur had gained complete control over all the remnants of the Chagatai Khanate, the Ilkhanate, and the Golden Horde, and even attempted to restore the Yuan dynasty in China.
Timur's armies were inclusively multi-ethnic and were feared throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe, sizable parts of which his campaigns laid to waste. Scholars estimate that his military campaigns caused the deaths of 17 million people, amounting to about 5% of the world population at the time.He was the grandfather of the Timurid sultan, astronomer and mathematician Ulugh Beg, who ruled Central Asia from 1411 to 1449, and the great-great-great-grandfather of Babur (1483–1530), founder of the Mughal Empire, which ruled parts of South Asia for over three centuries, from 1526 until 1857. Timur is considered as a great patron of art and architecture, as he interacted with intellectuals such as Ibn Khaldun and Hafiz-i Abru.
