Tajik city topples huge Vladimir Lenin statue; Y 26 years after the end of USSR?!!
Tajiks vs Communism & Leninism!!!
June 7 - Amidst tight security, authorities in a northern Tajikistan city take down the largest statue of Vladimir Lenin in Central Asia; residents have mixed reactions. Nick Rowlands, Reuters.
Tajik city topples Lenin statue 26 years after the end of USSR, why now?!!
16 000 Russian soldiers have been stationed in Tajikistan along the Afghan border for decades & almost lifelong good partnership. It's a question, why tajiks toppled the statue 26 year after the so called independence from USSR, which they didn't want to do so & instead rather to be if not part but surely a close ally with Russia.
Communism & Leninism vs Tajiks
The statue of Lenin - From Moscow to Murmansk
St. Petersburg is the city where the Russian Revolution broke out in 1917. Lenin arrived from Switzerland to give his famous speech that brought the revolution. Jelle finds Lenin's statue back in an industrial area just outside St. Petersburg, ready to be restored.
In the first series: From Moscow to Magadan, Jelle Brandt Corstius traveled from West to East, focusing on the endless Russian countryside and the villages. In this second series: From Moscow to Murmansk, he travels from North to South along the largest river of Russia: the Volga River. A trip along the relatively unknown cities like Murmansk, Volgograd, Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, but also to Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Through topics like women in Russia, new censorship, the environmental problem from Russian perspective and the ideological vacuum, a relatively unknown side of Russia is once again exposed.

Russia: Monument to Stalin erected in Siberia
A new statue of former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was unveiled in Yakutsk,
capital of the autonomous Republic of Sakha-Yakutia in Russia's Far East,
on Wednesday.
The 2.5 metre high bust was erected near the offices of Almazy Anabara - a
subsidiary of Russian diamond giant AK Alrosa, one of the world's largest
rough diamond producers.
It is the latest of three monuments to Stalin built in the mineral rich
Republic, whose autonomous status that was granted by Stalin lead to the
development of a Yakuttian written language.
Following from Stalin's programme of industrialisation in the 1930s,
industrial mining became the backbone of the remote republic's riches,
which include large reserves of diamonds, gold, oil, gas, and coal.
Last year, Alrosa signed a $60 million deal with luxury US jeweller Tiffany
& Co.
The unveiling of the Stalin bust went ahead without objection from city
officials and was attended by Almazy Anabara's general manager Matvey
Evseev, Communist Party members, and WWII veterans ahead of Victory Day in
Russia, whereby the defeat of Nazi Germany by the Soviet Red Army will be
celebrated on Thursday.

RUSSIA: MOSCOW: MUTED MAY DAY CELEBRATIONS
(1 May 2000) Russian/Nat
Small parades of trade unionists and Communists have marched in muted and chilly May Day celebrations in Moscow and across the former Soviet Union.
But the celebration of international workers' solidarity was a pale echo of Soviet-era celebrations with their massive government-organised parades past Kremlin leaders atop Lenin's tomb on Red Square.
Most Russians, who grow much of their own food, used the holiday to plant seedlings at their suburban cottages.
Thousands of Muscovites, battling unseasonably cold weather, joined marches through the Russian capital on Monday to mark the traditional May Day holiday.
This year, May Day competed for public attention with Orthodox Easter Sunday, which fell the day before.
Patriarch Alexy II, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, celebrated Easter week services on Monday in one of the cathedrals in the Kremlin.
As a result, the number of marchers taking part was less than expected.
In all, some 15-thousand people joined a trade union march under blue union banners fluttering in a near-freezing breeze along Tverskaya Ulitsa, a main thoroughfare leading to city hall.
The members and supporters of the Moscow Federation of Trade Unions - traditionally centrist rather than left-wing - were addressed by mayor Yury Luzhkov outside the city hall.
With the favourite target of past Communist parades, former President Boris Yeltsin, in retirement, slogans tended toward demands for higher social benefits and minimum wages.
President Vladimir Putin, elected on March 26, enjoys widespread support, and many Communists appear ready to work with him.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
People always believe and hope, and we think that our hope will coincide with the choice that the people made when they elected Putin president.
SUPER CAPTION: Vladimir Naumov, Marcher
Separately, Communists and other left-wing groups paraded with red Soviet flags, marching past a towering statue of Lenin on Kaluga Square in central Moscow.
Police put the number of Communist marchers at seven-thousand.
The marchers were led by party leader Gennady Zyuganov, who told the crowd that - unlike foreign institutions - the communists and other left-wing movements could improve conditions for the people of Russia.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
While Russia is being damaged on the international scene, its markets are being restricted. The IMF keeps on interfering in the internal affairs of our country.
SUPER CAPTION: Gennady Zyuganov, Communist Party Leader
In Soviet times, the May Day holiday one was one of the main events on the Communist calendar.
Demonstrators used to march through the city centre and across Red Square, where the Communist hierarchy greeted the columns from atop Lenin's mausoleum.
But - despite the end of the Soviet Union and dwindling numbers of marchers - some of those taking part in the celebrations on Monday thought May Day was as relevant now as it was then.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Today, this holiday is more current than ever, because people are so poor and have their backs against the wall, such that it could end catastrophically for the oligarchs very soon.
SUPER CAPTION: Mikhail, Marcher
Moscow wasn't the only city where May Day was celebrated.
Trade union officials said several thousand people marched in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Vladivostok in the Far East, Novosibirsk and Yakutsk in Siberia and a half-dozen other cities.
Marchers in the Siberian town of Kemerovo walked through a thin coating of wet snow.
Celebrations were muted in the former Soviet republic of Belarus, with leaders of left-wing parties laying flowers
at a monument to Lenin.

Russia: Stalin bust unveiled in Surgut despite city authority’s objections
A bust of former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was unveiled on the embankment of the Ob River in the Siberian city of Surgut, on Thursday. City authorities have said the statue does not have the necessary permissions and may have to be taken down.
SOT, Rustem Alakaev, Russky Dukh Civic Group (Russian): That is kind of a symbol of that epoch, an epoch of the Soviet people's glorious victories, an epoch of revival and restoration.
SOT, Rustem Alakaev, Russky Dukh Civic Group (Russian): We respect him as a leader. We know our history and the things he did so we decided to erect a statue to him.
SOT, Rustem Alakaev, Russky Dukh Civic Group (Russian): Of course, not everybody was positive about this idea. There were those who were against it. But everyone has his own opinion on this, we do not mind

Russia: Fans put jumper on monument to iconic Russian singer Vladimir Vysotski
Fans of singer-songwriter and poet Vladimir Vysotski marked the 79th anniversary of his birthday, in Voronezh, on Wednesday, by placing a huge red sweater on a statue of the artist.
SOT, Viktor Kaysin, Musician (Russian): We found a good photo of Vladimir Semyonovich's [Vysotski] in the same red sweater. I think it's a kind of iconic sweater like in the 1960's, an image of that time. If all goes well, I hope to God, if we get good press, then next year we will start an all-city contest for a new sweater design, it will be a citywide movement. If it happens, I will be happy.

STORYLINE
Hundreds of Muscovites looking for relief from soaring temperatures took part in a massive water fight on Saturday.
Moscow has been experiencing a record-breaking heat wave and the temperature on Saturday hit another record of 36.7 degrees Celsius.
The massive waterfight was organised by a group of Moscow students at the city's famed All-Russia Exhibition Centre, a sprawling site that originally housed Soviet-era monuments.
More then 500 people armed with water pistols, plastic bottles and buckets attended the event, which was organised as a flashmob.
Participants were divided into two teams, one wearing white shirts and another wearing coloured clothing.
After getting a thorough soaking, many people ended up splashing in the fountains.
It is impossible to escape the heat, you need to cope with it. Such events are a perfect way to save ourselves not only from the heat, but also from boredom, Moscow student Georgy Osipov said.
Muscovites are not used to such temperatures and have been finding various ways to cope with the heat.
Most leave the city for weekend. The ones can't try to get as close to water as possible.

I am a friend of Aldar Tandym. I am a student of his, he's in Chirgilchin (tuvan khoomei group), and he's helped me in my throat singing studies and he's a really close friend. So I spend a lot of my time here, hanging out watching them make instruments and helping as much as I can.

Here shamanism was the first religion of the ancient Turks. In Tuva it was banned until 1991 and now this pagan culture has been preserved in its original form and that's a great happiness for us and for all humanity because the shaman religion is mankind's first religion.

41. Medium of fire and shamans banging drums around it

LEAD IN:
The people of Tuva call their country the spiritual centre of Asia.
The culture and traditions of this small nation are based on its three treasures - nature, khoomei - the art of throat singing, and shamanism.
STORYLINE:
They say that Tuva is the most remote place on earth.
One such foreigner is Enrique Ugalde.

Ulan-Ude. How to get from the train station to Lenin's head monument tutorial
Many people get lost when they get off train especially in early mornings or late evenings. Even though Ulan-Ude is quite easy to get around, it's difficult to get the point after nice train ride. That's why I decided to make the video telling you how to orientate and pick the shortest way to Lenin's head monument, the center of Ulan-Ude.
By Denis of Ulan Ude Travellers House at
Lenin Coffee shop Irkutsk, Siberia, Russia.
I asked this guy What is the #1 issue in the world?
Global warming
and the need to build 100-panel solar homes
to stop the climate meltdown.
Then he sang this song for me.
We are in Russia, Mongolia & China looking at the explosive growth of windmills along the Trans Siberian Railroad.
This is the first real step to stopping global warming.
Ask not what your government can do for you.
Ask what,...
and that What is you can really build a 100-panel solar home.
Atomic energy is dead.
Put the solar home before the e-car.
Building 100-panel solar homes creates millions of local jobs
that cannot be off-shored,
like building 100-panel solar homes does.
Best way to ban fracking is to build 100-panel solar homes.
Pre-fabricated solar homes.
The income from solar in Maine ( $0.33 kwh )
pays off the cost of a solar home in 20 years,
if you have 100 solar panels.

POV: Exploring Kadychan, Russia's abandoned city
Kadychan is an abandoned city in Russia's far east, 720km by road from Magadan. It was built with gulag labour during the 1940s, originally to house workers from the local coal mines, but in the late 90s the mines became unprofitable and residents were offered incentives to move elsewhere. The result is an entire city of apartment buildings, shops, a hospital, streets, parks and squares left to decay.
I had the opportunity to stop off in Kadychan in July 2014 while riding the Kolyma Highway on my motorbike, so I spent a few hours there taking photos. I only had time to look at two buildings; you could spend a week here exploring and still not see it all.
The first building in this video is the hospital basement (I was looking for stairs); the second is the hospital administrative wing, and the third apparently used to be some sort of shop or supermarket. The last segment is the town square with the traditional statue of Lenin (vandalised).
The medical records I looked at were dated 1954, and apparently just left to rot. Someone had used one pile to start a fire.
