Volga River and taiga forest - aerial footage
Aerial view of the Volga River and taiga forests, well before one reaches Moscow. Yachts and private boats ply the river while a predominantly forested landscape is increasingly punctuated by residential, industrial and mining developments.
The Volga is the longest river in Europe; it is also Europe's largest river in terms of discharge and watershed. It flows through central Russia and is widely viewed as the national river of Russia. Eleven of the twenty largest cities of Russia, including the capital, Moscow, are situated in the Volga's drainage basin. Some of the largest reservoirs in the world can be found along the Volga. The river has a symbolic meaning in Russian culture and is often referred to as Волга-матушка Volga-Matushka (Mother Volga) in Russian literature and folklore.
The Volga River is the longest river in Europe. It belongs to the closed basin of the Caspian Sea. Rising in the Valdai Hills 225 meters (738 ft) above sea level northwest of Moscow and about 320 kilometers (200 mi) southeast of Saint Petersburg, the Volga heads east past Lake Sterzh, Tver, Dubna, Rybinsk, Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kazan. From there it turns south, flows past Ulyanovsk, Tolyatti, Samara, Saratov and Volgograd, and discharges into the Caspian Sea below Astrakhan at 28 meters (92 ft) below sea level. At its most strategic point, it bends toward the Don (the big bend). Volgograd, formerly Stalingrad, is located there.

Eine Sommerreise auf der Wolga (3/6) Die Schleuse von Rybinsk // Doku HD
In der Dokureihe unternimmt der Finne Ville Haapasalos eine Reise entlang der Wolga. In dieser Folge trifft der Schauspieler in der Stadt Rybinsk den neunzigjährigen Nikolai. Im Rahmen der Kanalisierung der Wolga wurden viele Dörfer unter Wasser gesetzt, darunter Nikolais Heimatdorf Mologa.
In der Stadt Rybinsk trifft Ville den neunzigjährigen Nikolai. Der alte Mann ist einer von Tausenden Menschen, die Stalin für den Bau eines gigantischen Wasserkraftwerks umsiedeln ließ. Im Rahmen der Kanalisierung der Wolga wurden viele Dörfer unter Wasser gesetzt, darunter Nikolais Heimatdorf Mologa. Bei einer Gedenkfahrt auf der Wolga wird die traurige Stimmung schlagartig heiter, als ein paar alte Damen frivole Lieder anstimmen. Etwas später besucht Ville eine Schreinerfachschule und lernt eine ausgefallene lokale Spezialität kennen. Nach diesem Ausflug in die Illegalität wird die anschließende Angelpartie zu einem zweifelhaften Vergnügen.

Когда я снимал этот клип, то меня волновало, как визуально передать смысл, который заложен в этой старой американской кантри-песне. Это очень важная задача в искусстве. И если не следовать дословному переводу с английского, то своими словами я бы сказал именно так, как это звучит выше!

The word from Eugene Wolf:
I think I heard the Carter Family before I came to earth. I was raised by my grandparents and my grandmother would hum and sing their songs while she was cooking and cleaning. So many beautiful melodies. So much power in the language of those songs. They reach for things we hardly consider these days. Angels. Salvation. Fire. Brimstone. The Carter Family made their mark almost a century ago. With songs even older. Songs that came across the ocean with the people who were trying to find their own salvation. And those songs were already familiar to me when my grandmother was humming them. Was it something about the tune and melody that struck a chord in my young ear and heart?
In Summer 2013 I traveled to Rybinsk with a guitar, a mountain dulcimer and a list of 50 possible songs for performing and recording. For six weeks Mitya and I rehearsed songs for a concert to happen at his estate, Ethno-Kuznya. The concert was a revelation. These old songs told stories that didn't need language. The stories live in the melodies. It was an evening of magic.
I believe that these songs still have stories to tell us in America, too. We've heard them for over a century and sometimes the stories that they do tell get lost in the notion that they're archaic and museum-worthy but not really relevant today. Well, thanks in part to A. P. Carter, they have survived to this day and are waiting to be mined for new and important meaning. Mitya is a consummate musician whose gifts include making arrangements for folk music that lift them out of the past and give our modern ears and hearts access to worlds we didn't know existed. The melodies and messages of these songs sound fresh and vital in a world that is speeding toward chaos. Music touches us like nothing else.

Леушинский монастырь / Leushinsky Convent - 1909
Леушинский монастырь.
Вологодская область
Фотографии Сергей Михайлович Прокудин-Горский
1909 г.
Leushinsky Convent
Vologda Region
Photographs by Sergey. M. Prokudin-Gorsky
1909
Here I present an album of photographs by the pioneering Russian photographer, Sergey Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorsky of the former Leushinsky Convent located near the village of Leushino between Cherepovets and Rybinsk.
Through the efforts of the Abbess (Mother Superior) Taisia, Leushinsky Convent became one of the three Women's laurels of Russia along with Diveevo & Shamordino. When these photographs were taken, the convent housed almost 700 nuns.
Despite harassment to the nuns, by the Soviet authorities, the convent managed to survive until 1931 when it was closed.
In 1935 the Volga River together with its tributaries, Sheksna and Mologa, was dammed at Rybinsk and the subsequent reservoir started filling in 1941 and continued until 1947. Thus the fate of the convent was sealed as the waters consumed the area.........

OPRICH - The second teaser of brand new album
The second (full-length) teaser of OPRICH's brand new album Birdless Heavens.
Buy CD:
OPRICH: Time is ripe for telling you about the album -- about this winter work of ours. It turned out strange and unexpected even for us -- its creators. There are many thoughts and perceptions in it. There are many images in this album, the images which had come once, long ago -- maybe in childhood, and maybe before... Now it's slow and viscous as a heavy road in the snow, now it's swift as a biting and spiny blow of the snowstorm, and it pulsates. There are a lot of blizzards, snow, melancholy, despair, grief also in the album... but there is hope in the album, as well.
Trying to catch and not to let this pulsation go, we used different ways and tricks. Gusli, little bells, throat singing, blues guitar fuzz, a horn -- and what not! Seven songs turned out to be a lengthy tale, and we choose the empty cold winter skies as the album's symbol -- The Birdless Heavens.
Meanwhile, the images of birds always appear in the songs one way or another -- their voices, silhouettes, tracks... Although these are not alive spring birds whose chests burst with joyful singing and flying in life-giving rays. They are the dead birds of Winter -- the black shadows of misery.
They accompany the whole of the album, the whole of winter, and disappear in the end only -- when the ice breaks under the hot solar pressure.
...but that's another story to tell...
