Russian monuments
A monument to a mother – In – law as people jokingly called it. It’s an exact copy of Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was placed in 1989 as the symbol of Tula’s exotarium. Exotarium is the zoo of reptiles and amphibians. . People love this dinosaur and they dress it in different funny clothes. And in this exotarium there is the unique in Russia – serpentarium. It’s the place where biologists try to breed and revive disappearing kinds of snakes . парк йюрк
A monument to Leo Tolstoy – a famous Russian writer. Everybody knows his famous “War and Peace”. This monument is located in Tolstoy’s square. And in front of him there is a liquor factory and that’s why people called this monument “Leo Tolstoy is going to buy vodka”.
This is the monument to a tail. ‘Tails’ students call their “educational arrears”. It means if you failed the exam, you have one more chance to take it and pass it. This monument was placed in 2007. Many students come here every day when they have exams. They bring coopers and rub this lizard to take a little luck on exam.
This is the monument to Tula’s honey cake. Tula’s factory of the production of honey cakes is famous all over Russia. It’s two meters high and weighs more than a ton. Of course you can not taste this honey cake but you can take couple pictures with it and touch the history.
The monument to Demidov.
Demidov was Russian industrialist who founded the Demidov industrial dynasty. Nikita built one of the first metallurgical factories in Tula. Except for this monument which was installed in 1996, a museum is devoted to him in Tula. And people called this monument “Rambo”, I hope you guessed why.
“Levsha and steel flea” is a well-known story by Nickolay Leskov. It tells us about left-handed craftsman, who outperformed his English colleagues by providing a clockwork steel flea they’d made with horseshoes.
This is the monument to Vladimir Lenin – the leader of Soviet people. Every city and town and village in Russia has such kind of monument from the Soviet Union. All Soviet pupils knew: “Lenin lived, Lenin is alive, Lenin will live forever!” Of course now these monuments are just a part of history that’s why people don’t dismantle them.

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

Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin (Russian: Ю́рий Алексе́евич Гага́рин, IPA: [ˈjʉrʲɪj ɐlʲɪˈksʲejɪvʲɪtɕ ɡɐˈɡarʲɪn]; 9 March 1934 – 27 March 1968) was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut. He became the first human to journey into outer space when his Vostok spacecraft completed one orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961.
Gagarin became an international celebrity and was awarded many medals and titles, including Hero of the Soviet Union, his nation's highest honour. Vostok 1 was his only spaceflight, but he served as the backup crew to the Soyuz 1 mission, which ended in a fatal crash. Gagarin later served as the deputy training director of the Cosmonaut Training Centre outside Moscow, which was subsequently named after him. Gagarin died in 1968 when the MiG-15 training jet he was piloting crashed. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale awards the Yuri A. Gagarin Gold Medal in his honour.

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
=======
The Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS; Russian: Росси́йская акаде́мия нау́к (РАН) Rossíiskaya akadémiya naúk) consists of the national academy of Russia; a network of scientific research institutes from across the Russian Federation; and additional scientific and social units such as libraries, publishing units, and hospitals.
Headquartered in Moscow, the Academy (RAS) is considered a civil, self-governed, non-commercial organization chartered by the Government of Russia. It combines the members of RAS (see below) and scientists employed by institutions. Near the central academy building there is a monument to Yuri Gagarin in the square bearing his name.
As of November 2017, the Academy included 1008 institutions and other units; in total about 125,000 people were employed of whom 47,000 were scientific researchers.
