300 years of the Romanov Dynasty: Kostroma
1913 marked the Tercentenary of the ruling Romanov Dynasty. A country-wide celebration was held for a whole year. The key event – a symbolic tour on the Volga river in May, when Nicholas II and his family followed the route of the first Romanov Tsar, Mikhail I, from Kostroma to Moscow to assume the throne in 1613.

Part One
Here I present the first of two albums of original photographs taken of the town of Kostroma.
This historic town forms part of the Golden Ring of Russian towns, and is located at the confluence of the Volga and Kostroma Rivers.
The city was first recorded in the chronicles for the year 1213, but historians believe it could have been founded by Yury Dolgoruky more than half a century earlier, in 1152. Like other towns of the Eastern Rus, Kostroma was sacked by the Mongols in 1238.
The heroic peasant Ivan Susanin became a symbol of the city's resistance to foreign invaders; several monuments to him may be seen in Kostroma. The future Tsar, Mikhail Romanov, also lived at the monastery. It was here that an embassy from Moscow offered him the Russian crown in 1612. As a result, the Romanov Tsars regarded Kostroma as their special protectorate…………….

Before the exile: The Romanovs under house arrest in Tsarskoe Selo
After the abdication of Nicholas II in March 1917, the Romanovs were put under house arrest in Tsarskoe Selo where the former tsar could finally focus on the family.
Tsar’s routine: How did Nicholas II spend his day-to-day life?
Nicholas wasn’t ready to become a tsar when his father Alexander III died of kidney disease in 1894. The 26-year-old tsarevich hoped that he had at least 20 years before he took his father’s place. He struggled to rule the country during the first years, but with time he came up with his daily routine that he followed everywhere.
Колыма - родина нашего страха / Kolyma - Birthplace of Our Fear
Не знаю, как у вас, но всю свою жизнь я слышу от родителей: ну будь осторожен, ну не привлекай к себе лишнее внимание, не высовывайся – это очень опасно; и вообще мы простые люди – от нас ничего не зависит.
Мои родители – прекрасные люди, я безумно их люблю. Но они говорят все это десятилетиями - даже в тех ситуациях, где очевидно нарушается здравый смысл, где творится несправедливость и где мы точно правы.
Я всегда думал: откуда у старшего поколения этот страх, это стремление мазать все серой краской? Почему они боятся, что даже за минимальную смелость обязательно прилетит наказание? Моя гипотеза: этот страх зародился еще в прошлом веке и через поколения добрался до нас. Одно из мест, где этот страх появлялся, - Колыма.
Для максимального погружения мы проехали всю трассу Колыма. 2000 км тяжеленной дороги. 9 дней пути. И лютый, просто неправдоподобный мороз.
Как люди жили здесь тогда, во время репрессий? Как люди жили после? Как живут люди сейчас?
Все это нам было интересно и важно узнать нам. Все, что узнали, мы рассказываем вам.

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
=======
Nicholas II or Nikolai II (Russian: Николай II Алекса́ндрович, tr. Nikolai II Aleksandrovich; 18 May [O.S. 6 May] 1868 – 17 July 1918), known as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer in the Russian Orthodox Church, was the last Emperor of Russia, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his forced abdication on 2 March 1917. His reign saw the fall of the Russian Empire from one of the foremost great powers of the world to economic and military collapse. He was given the nickname Nicholas the Bloody or Vile Nicholas by his political adversaries due to the Khodynka Tragedy, anti-Semitic pogroms, Bloody Sunday, the violent suppression of the 1905 Russian Revolution, the execution of political opponents, and his perceived responsibility for the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). Soviet historians portrayed Nicholas as a weak and incompetent leader whose decisions led to military defeats and the deaths of millions of his subjects.Russia was defeated in the 1904–1905 Russo-Japanese War which saw the annihilation of the reinforcing Russian Baltic Fleet after being sent on its round-the-world cruise at the naval Battle of Tsushima, off the coasts of Korea and Japan, the loss of Russian influence over Manchuria and Korea, and the Japanese annexation to the north of South Sakhalin Island. The Anglo-Russian Entente was designed to counter the German Empire's attempts to gain influence in the Middle East, but it also ended the Great Game of confrontation between Russia and the United Kingdom. When all Russian diplomatic efforts to prevent the First World War (1914–1918) failed, Nicholas approved the Imperial Russian Army mobilization on 30 July 1914 which gave Imperial Germany formal grounds to declare war on Russia on 1 August 1914. An estimated 3.3 million Russians were killed in the First World War. The Imperial Russian Army's severe losses, the High Command's incompetent management of the war efforts, and lack of food and supplies on the home front were all leading causes of the fall of the House of Romanov.
Following the February Revolution of 1917, Nicholas abdicated on behalf of himself and his son and heir, the Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich. He and his family were imprisoned and transferred to Tobolsk in late summer 1917. On 30 April 1918, Nicholas, Alexandra, and their daughter Maria were handed over to the local Ural Soviet council in Ekaterinburg (renamed Sverdlovsk during the Soviet era); the rest of the captives followed on 23 May. Nicholas and his family were executed by their Bolshevik guards on the night of 16/17 July 1918. The remains of the imperial family were later found, exhumed, identified and re-interred with elaborate State and Church ceremony in St. Petersburg on 17 July 1998 – 80 years later.
In 1981, Nicholas, his wife, and their children were recognized as martyrs by the Russian Orthodox Church Outsid ...

Russian Army in Ukraine: Freed Ukrainian POWs confirm they were captured by Russian paratroopers
Ukrainian soldiers, released from captivity in east Ukraine have given personal accounts of the presence of Russian troops in the war-torn region.
The personal accounts, although unverified, match with confirmed reports of Russian troops inside Ukraine from the regions of Pskov and Kostroma. In late August, Ukrainian troops captured a group of Russian paratroopers from Kostroma, 20 kilometers inside Ukraine’s territory. The soldiers claimed they had crossed the border by accident during a training exercise.

RUSSIA: EKATERINBURG/BRYANSK: REACTION TO ELECTION RESULT
Russian/Nat
The Russian election results have been met with delight and despair in the home towns of the two opponents for the presidency.
In Ekaterinburg, in the Urals region, where Boris Yeltsin was head of the Communist Party for many years, there was joy at his victory and relief that the Communists had been beaten.
But in Bryansk, in the Communist red belt some five hundred kilometres south of Moscow and where Gennady Zyuganov spent his formative political years, there was deep sorrow that their man had lost.
Lenin's statue may still be standing proud over the town of Ekaterinburg in the Urals -- but the Communists have fallen.
The people of Ekaterinburg voted overwhelmingly for their favourite son Boris Yeltsin in yesterday's elections.
And today, many came out in the sunshine to celebrate his victory.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
What did I feel? My first feeling was like a child's - YES. And then we felt satisfied and happy
SUPERCAPTION: Svetlana, housewife
The happiness was shared by many on the streets.
For flower seller Irina Kochetkova, Yeltsin's victory means an increase in business as well as a more secure future, free from Communism.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
People will buy flowers to mark Yeltsin's victory. I voted for Yeltsin...because I don't want the Communists to get into power. I don't want a return to the past.
SUPERCAPTION: Irina Kochetkova, flower seller
Boris Yeltsin began and ended his election campaign in his
hometown of Ekaterinburg.
His faith was rewarded yesterday. Only Moscow gave more votes to him.
The first results from Bryansk, Gennady Zyuganov's home town, brought a smile to the faces of local Communist Party bosses.
The voting in the Communist Russian heartland had gone according to plan for Zyuganov.
The election turnout in his home region was higher than the national average with 70 per cent voting and almost 60 per cent for Gennady Zyuganov.
Boris Yeltsin received only 36 per cent.
But as results from around the country started coming in, the picture changed somewhat, leaving Communist campaign managers to reflect on another four years in opposition.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
We expect the economic situation now to get worse. Yeltsin's team has undergone no changes, and by what we have seen over the last few years, they have shown themselves unable to bring the country out of the crisis which has grown with each year.
SUPERCAPTION: Oleg Shenkaryev, campaign manager Bryansk Communist Party
However, for Bryansk's newly-elected mayor Yeltsin's victory came
as welcome news.
A staunch supporter of the Russian President, Viktor Dashe has big plans to develop Bryansk and its economy.
A Communist victory would have put paid to all those plans
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
From Monday we can now resolve all our problems. If Zyuganov had come to power, all these plans would have been put back for decades and, God forbid, there may have been civil war.
SUPERCAPTION: Viktor Dashe, Mayor of Bryansk
Dashe's joy was not shared by many of Bryansk's citizens.
The majority of people in the rural south have seen their living standards drop dramatically over the last four years.
Some feel the future holds nothing to look forward to.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
For me personally it means that I don't know under what conditions my son will grow up. The Mafia influence is getting worse. I expect nothing good from his re-election
SUPERCAPTION: Oleg Panfilov, unemployed
The Communists of Bryansk have been beaten but remain unbowed.
They are convinced that their turn will come, even if it takes until the year 2000.

MOSCOW - Russia Travel Guide | Around The World
Moscow (Russian: Москва) is the 869 year-old capital of Russia. An iconic, global city, Moscow has played a central role in the development of Russia and the world. For many, the sight of the Kremlin complex in the centre of the city is still loaded with symbolism and history. Moscow was the capital of the former Soviet Union and signs of its previous life are still very visible. Yet, there is more to Russia and its capital than just memories of the USSR. Architectural gems from the time of the Russian Empire are still dotted throughout Moscow, whilst signs of modern Tsars (or at least people with similar levels of wealth) abound.
During any season, at any hour of the day, Moscow thrills visitors with its artistry, history and majesty.
Kremlin & Red Square
The very founding site of the city (and arguably, the country), the Kremlin and Red Square are still at the heart of Moscow – historically, geographically and spiritually. Feel the weight of this significance as you wander within the walls of the ancient fortress, marvel at the mind-boggling magnificence of St Basil's Cathedral and pay your respects to the revered leader of a now-defunct state. Moscow will move you. It will tantalise your senses, soothe your spirit and boggle your mind – and it all starts right here at the Kremlin and Red Square.
Communist History
The remains of the Soviet state are scattered all around the city. Monuments remember fallen heroes and victorious battles, while museums attempt to analyse and synthesise the past. See Lenin and Stalin – off their pedestals – at the whimsical Art Muzeon. Step into the socialist-realist fantasy at VDNKh. Descend into the depths of the Soviet system at Bunker-42 Cold War Museum. Ride the museum-like metro and remember the millions who suffered at the Gulag History Museum. Nowadays, retro clubs and cafes give their guests a taste of the Soviet experience. You can even try your hand at Soviet-era arcade games.
Performing Arts
What is more thrilling than watching a ballerina defy gravity, leaping across the stage at the glittering Bolshoi Theatre? Or feeling the force of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, just a few blocks away from where it premiered more than a century ago? Or oohing and aahing as circus performers soar under the big tent? The classical performing arts in Moscow are still among the best in the world. Nowadays, even the most traditional theatres are experimenting with innovative arrangements, reviving lost favourites and hosting world premieres. Whether you appreciate the classics or prefer the contemporary, the capital's performing arts will impress.
Orthodoxy & Architecture
At nearly every turn in Moscow, you'll see golden domes peeking out over the rooftops and hear church bells peeling through the streets, which are dotted with some 600 churches – many of which are glittering after recent renovations. There are colourful hidden gems, historic fortresses and gargantuan cathedrals. The exteriors are adorned with stone carvings and glittering domes; interiors are packed with ancient icons, swirling incense and faithful worshippers. For more than a millennium, Orthodoxy has helped to define the Russian nation, a significance that is palpable in these atmospheric spiritual places.
Moscow enjoys a relatively low crime rate. However, Moscow is a large metropolis, so common sense should be used. Avoid dark alleys - like you would anywhere else. Check the advice from your Foreign Office for entry requirements, health, safety, local laws and customs.
With the exception of some high-end hotels, all hotels and hostels offer free WiFi and many have computer terminals. Almost all accept credit cards. Hotels and hostels will usually provide a visa invitation and registration for an additional fee.
Dining establishments in Moscow range from food stalls near metro stations to quick canteen-style 'Stolovaya' eateries to American-style fast food chains to overpriced restaurants catering to tourists to high-end restaurants where you can spend RUB10,000. Restaurants and cafes promising European and Caucasus cuisine generally cater to tourists and are usually bad; seek a restaurant that specializes in a single region instead (Georgian, Russian, Italian, French, etc.).
Moscow (IATA: MOW) has three main airports:
Sheremetyevo International Airport
Domodedovo Airport
Vnukovo International Airport
