The Peter the Great Statue is a 98-metre-high monument to Peter the Great, located at the western confluence of the Moskva River and the Vodootvodny Canal in central Moscow. It was designed by the Georgian designer Zurab Tsereteli to commemorate 300 years of the Russian Navy, which Peter the Great established. It was erected in 1997 and is the eighth tallest statue in the world. It weighs around 1,000 tons and contains 600 tons of stainless steel, bronze and copper.
Since its inception, the statue has courted controversy. In November 2008, it was voted the tenth ugliest building in the world by Virtual Tourist. In 2010, it was included in a list of the world's ugliest statues by Foreign Policy magazine. Lonely Planet commented: Questions of taste aside, Muscovites were sceptical about the whole idea: why pay tribute to Peter the Great, who loathed Moscow and moved the capital to St Petersburg?
The designer Zurab Tsereteli is known as a friend and favorite of Moscow's former Mayor Yury Luzhkov, and the artist received a number of municipal art commissions under his patronage, such as the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Manege Square ensemble and the War Memorial Complex on Poklonnaya Gora. In October 2010, following Luzhkov's departure from office, Moscow authorities, reportedly keen to get rid of the Peter the Great statue, offered to relocate it to Saint Petersburg, but this offer was refused by the city. Authorities in Arkhangelsk and Petrozavodsk have offered to accept the monument.
The statue is allegedly based on a design originally intended to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the first voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1992. When an American customer for the project could not be found, it was repurposed with a Russian theme. Tsereteli denies this story. A separate, equally colossal statue of Columbus by the same designer eventually wound up in Puerto Rico after being rejected by various US cities, but, as of 2011, remains disassembled.

The Moscow Kremlin (Russian: Моско́вский Кремль, tr. Moskovskiy Kreml; IPA: [mɐˈskofskʲɪj krʲemlʲ]), usually referred to as simply the Kremlin, is a historic fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, overlooking the Moskva River to the south, Saint Basil's Cathedral and Red Square to the east, and the Alexander Garden to the west. It is the best known of kremlins (Russian citadels) and includes five palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. The complex serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation.
The name Kremlin means fortress inside a city, and is often used as a metonym to refer to the government of the Russian Federation in a similar sense to how the White House is used to refer to the Executive Office of the President of the United States. Indeed, even the Russian president's official website is Kremlin.ru. It had previously been used to refer to the government of the Soviet Union (1922–1991) and its highest members (such as general secretaries, premiers, presidents, ministers, and commissars). Kremlinology refers to the study of Soviet and Russian politics.

藝苑掇英 Ivan Bilibin 伊万·比利賓 (1876-1942) Art Nouveau Russian
tonykwk39@gmail.com
Ivan YakovleIvich Bilibin (Russian: Ива́н Я́ковлевич Били́бин, IPA: [ɪˈvan ˈjakəvlʲɪvʲɪt͡ɕ bʲɪˈlʲibʲɪn]; 16 August [O.S. 4 August] 1876 – 7 February 1942) was a 20th-century illustrator and stage designer who took part in the Mir iskusstva, contributed to the Ballets Russes, co-founded the Union of Russian Painters (Russian: Сою́з ру́сских худо́жников) and from 1937 was a member of the Artists' Union of the USSR. Throughout his career, he was inspired by Slavic folklore.
Ivan Bilibin was born in Tarkhovka, a suburb of St. Petersburg. He studied in 1898 at Anton Ažbe Art School in Munich, then under Ilya Repin in St. Petersburg. After graduating in May 1900 he went to Munich, where he completed his training with the painter Anton Ažbe. In 1902–1904 Bilibin travelled in the Russian North, where he became fascinated with old wooden architecture and Russian folklore. In the period 1902 to 1904, he also went to the ethnographic section of the museum of Alexander III to collect Ethnographic material and to photograph monuments of old village architecture in the Vologda, Archangelsk region, Tver; Skaja; olonezkaja and Petrozavodsk. He published his findings in the monograph Folk Arts of the Russian North in 1904. Another influence on his art was traditional Japanese prints.
After the formation of the artists' association Mir Iskusstva, where he was an active member, his entry into the newspaper and book graphics scene began with a commission for the design of magazine Mir Iskusstva in 1899. Artistic design of other magazines such as Dog Rose (Шиповник) and expenditure of the Moscow publishing house followed. Bilibin gained renown in 1899, when he released his illustrations of Russian fairy tales. During the Russian Revolution of 1905, he drew revolutionary cartoons, especially for the magazine "Župel" (Жупелъ), which in 1906 became prohibited. He would further serve as the designer for the 1909 première production of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's The Golden Cockerel.
After the October Revolution in 1917, he left Russia after the revolution proved alien to him. After brief stints in Cairo and Alexandria, he settled in Paris in 1925, where he took to decorating private mansions and Orthodox churches. He still longed for his homeland and, after decorating the Soviet Embassy in 1936, he returned to Soviet Russia, delivering lectures at the Russian Academy of Arts until 1941. Bilibin died during the Siege of Leningrad and was buried in a collective grave.
In 1902 Bilibin married his former student, the Irish-Russian painter Mary Chambers (Мария Яковлевна Чемберс). They had two sons; Alexander (1903) and Ivan (1908). In 1912 he again married a former student, the art school graduate Renée O'Connell (Рене Рудольфовна О'Коннель), granddaughter of Daniel O'Connell. In 1923 he married the painter Alexandra Shchyekatikhina-Pototskaya (Александра Васильевна Щекатихина-Потоцкая), with whom he had a joint exhibition in Amsterdam in 1929.

伊万·比利賓（Ivan Bilibin）出生在聖彼得堡郊區的塔爾霍夫卡（Tarkhovka）。他於1898年在慕尼黑的AntonAžbe藝術學校學習，然後在聖彼得堡的伊利亞·列賓（Ilya Repin）之下學習。 1900年5月畢業後，他去了慕尼黑，在那裡他完成了與畫家安東Ažbe的培訓。 1902年至1904年，比利賓在俄羅斯北部旅行，在那裡他著迷於舊木結構和俄羅斯民間傳說。在1902年到1904年期間，他還前往亞歷山大三世博物館的民族志部分，收集民族志材料，拍攝特維爾阿爾漢格爾斯克地區沃洛格達的古村落建築紀念碑; Skaja; olonezkaja和彼得羅扎沃茨克。他在1904年在俄羅斯北方的民間藝術專著上發表了他的發現。他的藝術的另一個影響是傳統的日本版畫。
藝術家協會Mir Iskusstva（他是活躍成員）的成立之後，他進入報紙和書籍圖形界開始於1899年為Mir Iskusstva雜誌設計的委員會。其他雜誌的藝術設計，如Dog Rose （Шиповник）和莫斯科出版社的支出。比利賓在1899年獲得了名聲，當時他釋放了他對俄羅斯童話故事的插圖。在1905年俄國革命期間，他畫了革命漫畫，特別是1906年被禁止的“Župel”雜誌（Жупелъ）。他將進一步擔任1909年尼古拉·里姆斯基 - 科薩科夫（Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov）的“金雞公雞”（The Golden Cockerel）首映的設計師。
1917年十月革命之後，革命後的他離開了俄羅斯，離開了俄羅斯。在開羅和亞歷山大進行短暫的工作後，他於1925年在巴黎定居，在那裡他去裝飾私人住宅和東正教教堂。他仍然渴望自己的家園，1936年裝修蘇聯大使館後，他回到蘇聯俄羅斯，直到1941年在俄羅斯藝術學院講課。比列林在列寧格勒圍困期間死亡，被埋葬在一個集體墳墓。
1902年比利賓娶了他的前學生，愛爾蘭和俄羅斯的畫家瑪麗·錢伯斯（МарияЯковлевнаЧемберс）。他們有兩個兒子。亞歷山大（1903）和伊凡（1908）。 1912年，他再次娶了一名前學生，藝術學院畢業生RenéeO'Connell（丹尼·奧康奈爾的孫女）。 1923年，他娶了畫家亞歷山德拉Shchyekatikhina-Pototskaya（АлександраВасильевнаЩекатихина-Потоцкая），與他在1929年在阿姆斯特丹聯合展覽。

Russia - Captives Swapped For Voluntary Shields
T/I: 10:24:50
STORY: HOSTAGES
LOCATION: RUSSIA
DATE: 19 JUNE 1995
DURATION: 1.38
Captives swapped for voluntary shields
Chechen rebels on Monday (19/6) released the bulk of their 1,500
hostages in Budennosvk, Russia, and took in their place dozens of
volunteer officials and journalists to act as human shields. The
rebels then boarded a convoy of red buses and drove towards
Chechnya. Police cars, an ambulance and a refrigerator truck -
carrying dead Chechen rebels - joined the convoy and headed south.
The hostages remaining inside the hospital were finally reunited
with family and friends amid emotional scenes. Some of them were
sick, some were suffering shock and all of them were exhausted.
The human shields included 16 journalists, eight Russian
parliamentarians and an estimated 150 volunteer hostages.
Meanwhile, Russian and Chechen officials on Monday met in the
Chechen capital in a new bid to bring peace to the region. The
meeting had been hastily arranged to meet the demands of the
hostage-takers. They discussed ways to end the Chechen conflict
and the return of the Chechen rebels.

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 ...

In 1918, the central government bodies moved to Moscow, which is about 625 km (388 miles) to the south-east.
Saint Petersburg is often considered Russia's cultural capital. The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world. Many foreign consulates, international corporations, banks and businesses have offices in Saint Petersburg.

????Петрозаводск и Американец | Часть 1
Поездка в Петрозаводск получилась такой насыщенной, что мы впервые в истории канала разбили отчетный ролик на две части.
Благодарим отель Фрегат за тепло, уют и великолепную кухню лучшего рыбного ресторана города! А если еще учесть, что из него открывается великолепный вид на Онежское озеро, то Фрегат можно смело назвать обязательной для посещения туристической локацией!

Интересно, что впечатления приезжего человека, всегда богаче. У местных уже глаз замылился и часто не способен увидеть всю красоту и уникальность города. Не раз слышали от местных: “Да что у нас смотреть, мы провинция. Вот Москва, вот Питер…”.
Мы часто слышим, что люди мечтают поехать в Карелию. Побродить по знаменитым лесам, съездить в горный парк Рускеала, увидеть Кижи и водопад Кивач. А Петрозаводск? Его воспринимают как удобный перевалочный пункт, не более.
Есть ли что посмотреть в самой столице Карелии? Какие перспективы у здешнего внутреннего туризма – об этом (и не только) узнаете из нашей двухсерийной саги о Петрозаводске.
Итак:
- что роднит Петрозаводск и Лондон (спойлер: уже не роднит)
- как находчиво сохраняют петрозаводские памятники архитектуры
- кого победил знаменитый американский полковник
- что бывает за разглашение государственной тайны трехсотлетней давности
- что осталось от знаменитого ОТЗ - Онежского тракторного завода
- как американец поразил своим творчеством старожилов креативного кластера
Обязательно подписывайтесь на канал и жмите колокольчик чтобы не пропустить продолжение!
Вторая серия – очень скоро!

Murmansk
Murmansk (Russian: Му́рманск; Kildin Sami: Мурман ланнҍ; Northern Sami: Murmánska; Skolt Sami: Muurman) is a port city and the administrative center of Murmansk Oblast, Russia, located in the extreme northwest part of Russia, on the Kola Bay, an inlet of the Barents Sea on the northern shore of the Kola Peninsula, close to the Russia's borders with Norway and Finland.
Despite its extreme northern location above the Arctic Circle, Murmansk tends to be nearly the same as any other Russian city of its size, featuring highway and railway access to the rest of Europe, a railway station, and a trolleybus system, in fact, the northernmost on Earth.
