Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center (Yekaterinburg, Russia)
Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center is a multi-purpose center that combines socio-cultural, commercial and leisure activities. It follows the design of Ralph Appelbaum Associates (RAA).
ACCIONA Producciones y Diseño is responsible for the museographic implementation of the permanent exhibition dedicated to the figure of Boris Yeltsin as first president of the Russian Federation. The itinerary of the exhibition is symbolically divided into 7 rooms, each one dedicated to a phase in the creation of contemporary Russia, through scenographic recreations that reconstruct key areas of its history (meeting room of the Politburo, a street in Moscow, an apartment, among others). A large number of audiovisual productions and interactives complete the experience in the rooms.
The visit ends with an area called “Freedom Gallery”. This room,
dedicated to the most important achievement of Yeltsin’s government, focuses on the testimonies of personalities and people on the street, and gives all visitors the opportunity to leave their own freedom-related message in the interactive “What Freedom means to Me”.
The Museum has received the European Museum of the Year Award 2016 –in the Kenneth Hudson category– for its “exceptional and daring achievement, challenging common perceptions of museums in society.

RUSSIA: PRESIDENT YELTSIN ARRIVES IN HOME TOWN OF YEKATERINBURG
Russian/Nat
Russian President Boris Yeltsin has arrived in his home town of Yekaterinburg, where he's expected to declare that he's running for a second term in this June's elections.
There are 41 candidates running in all, leading to complaints of overcrowding from officials.
But in reality only a few of them will have a chance to enter the race, as the law requires a candidate to gather at least one (m) million signatures by the April 16th deadline to be qualified.
Russian President Boris Yeltsin flew into his home town of Yekaterinburg in the wintry Ural mountains Wednesday, amid increasing speculation that he will run for a second term.
Yeltsin has said he's determined to keep on pushing reforms, despite opposition from conservatives and many Russians who are feeling the pinch as their country adopts a free market economy.
However the Russian president kept journalists waiting for an answer as to whether he will run or not, saying that he would make an announcement tomorrow (Thursday).
SOUNDBITE: Russian
Yes it very nice to be here, back home. Well, in recent days I have met a lot of people, in the factories, on the streets, we've discussed their problems and all of them are interested in my decision on the presidency and I will talk about it tomorrow.
SUPER CAPTION: Boris Yeltsin, Russian President
Elections are not until June, but on current opinion polls the Russian president has a lot of ground to make up.
His economic reforms and the Chechen war are increasingly unpopular, and he has powerful foes on the nationalist right and the Communist left.

Russia - Elections
T/I: 10:10:06
Russia's political leaders cast their votes on Sunday (17/12) in
what became a media event at a Moscow suburban school.
TV cameras and crowds gathered to watch Prime Minister Viktor
Chernomyrdin vote with his family. Chernomyrdin, a man whose
paternal face is known even to Russian pre-schoolers thanks to a
vigorous advertising campaign, cast his ballot for his own party,
the centrist bloc Our Home Is Russia. Born only in late April,
1995, Our Home is expected to present perhaps the biggest
challenge to the favourite, the Communist Party in Sunday's
decisive parliamentary elections. A rare smile crept over the face of Communist leader Gennadiy Zyuganov as he cast his ballot for what most consider the leading political party in Russia. If all goes as predicted, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation will rake in about 20 percent of the popular vote, awarding the party the majority of seats in the lower house of the Russian parliament, or Duma.
The Congress of Russian Communities headed by General Alexander
Lebed will also provide stiff competition. Lebed voted with his
usual gravity. Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev spoke to reporters before casting his vote, saying the elections were truly important as the people have really thought about who they want as leaders. Kozyrev is himself a candidate for the Duma, from the northern port city of
Murmansk. Yegor Gaidar, the former Prime Minister of Russia (June-Dec.1992) and leader of the electoral bloc Democratic Choice of Russia - United Democrats cast his vote on Sunday. Gaidar is one of the
most prominent liberal politicians in Russia and is considered the
architect of Russia's economic reform program. Defence Minister Pavel Grachev, considered the number one power minister, also cast his vote.
Grachev, who the public suspects of massive corruption, is nevertheless supported by Yeltsin as well as the Communists and Nationalists.

Yeltsin saved Russia in 1993
Present-day twenty-year-old Russians may not remember the long queues at food stores, the shortage of all types of goods and the mess that reigned in the upper echelons of power. And all the more so, the younger generation has no clue that in 1993, Russia was on the verge of a civil war. Civil unrest began to grow after President Boris Yeltsin signed decree number 1400 About the phased constitutional reform in the Russian Federation. An emergency meeting of the Supreme Council of People's Deputies was immediately convened, and it was decided that the president was trying to arrange a coup with his actions. However, the members of the inner circle of Boris Yeltsin are certain that the President was absolutely right back then.
Alexander Korzhakov, ex-security chief of Boris Yeltsin:
Filatov came rushing to me. He was the second person in the country, the head of the presidential administration. He was weeping, he sat up and began banging his head on the table . I said what's wrong with you, are you crazy? And he said -- Alexander, go save Russia, run to Yeltsin and tell him to withdraw the decree.
He did not run to him, he didn't tell him that. It was no responsibility of the chief of state security to intervene in the affairs of state importance. Back then, no one knew what would happen afterwards. The conflict was inevitable. There were many informers in both camps.
Alexander Korzhakov: When the information reached the would-be rebels, it was clear, whom it came from. It was coming from someone who prepared those decrees. It was a secret meeting, but everyone knew about it.
The conflict between the president and the Supreme Council developed into chaos. An armed crowd stormed the Ostankino TV center in Moscow, but the attempt to capture the TV center remained unsuccessful. Fire shots could be heard in Moscow for two days. A state of emergency was introduced in the capital, and troops entered the city. The nightmare in Moscow ended only in the evening of the fourth of October. Although some believe that it only started that day. But one thing is clear - those days of October 1993 determined the course of history of the country for decades.
Alexander Korzhakov: The authorities that we now have in the country, led by Vladimir Putin, should be grateful to Yeltsin for the fact that he and his team saved Russia.
Officially, about two hundred people fell victims of the so-called coup. About a thousand were injured. Twenty years have passed, and today it is quite strange to realize that there could be mass shootings and armed clashes with police in Moscow. It never occurs to anyone nowadays that that part of history can repeat itself.
Alexander Korzhakov: We have to pass a normal constitution to make it democratic, as it should be. They only messed up the process. Because after those events, we made the Constitution for one person only. Actually, it was written for the president. We can see it now in the parliament. Having the right under the constitution to give amnesty without asking anyone... The constitution should be changed urgently, if Putin does not want to come back to those days.
RUSSIA: YEKATERINBURG: YELTSIN VISITS HOME TOWN
Russian/Nat
Boris Yeltsin is visiting his home town of Yekaterinberg, where he is expected to announce that he will seek a second term as Russia's President.
He took the opportunity to talk tough on Chechnya, an issue which may prove one of the greatest obstacles to his re-election.
The Russian President says the leader and commanders of the rebel Chechen fighters who led two recent hostage raids should be handed over to Russian authorities and shot.
Boris Yeltsin was back in his hometown of Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains Thursday for the first time in nearly four years.
He took part in a memorial service for the victims of the war in Afghanistan where Moscow had troops for ten years and started withdrawing them seven years ago.
With an announcement expected later Thursday that he will seek a second term as president, Yeltsin spoke strongly on an issue that has tarnished his image with voters, Chechnya.
In the wake of two hostage-taking raids by Chechen fighters Yeltsin said the fate of the rebel leaders was sealed.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
We are now preparing to stop the war in Chechnya. To start implementing peace and to stop the war. We are going to finish this I'm pretty sure and I wish to do this before the elections.
SUPER CAPTION: Boris Yeltsin, Russian President
He said he hoped to end the 14-month-old conflict over Chechnya's independence before Russia's presidential election on June 16.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
The court will decide, but we want Dudayev, Raduyev and Basayev, those bandits, to be handed over to us. They should be shot.
SUPER CAPTION: Boris Yeltsin, Russian President
And it was elections Yeltsin had firmly on his mind on Thursday, looking very much the candidate on a tour of the Yekaterinburg metro.
This was a project started when Yeltsin was the city's Communist Party boss.
Throughout the tour of the metro and then outside he warmly greeted people and chatted to them about their hopes for the future.
Later at a meeting with local administrative officials Yeltsin all about announced his decision to run for a second term.
SOUNDBITE:
I've been asked by the citizens of Sverdlovsk to run for the presidency for the second time in a row and participate in a pre-election campaign.
SUPER CAPTION: Boris Yeltsin, Russian President
Yeltsin's trip to Yekaterinburg, a city of two (m) million people, is the first of many planned visits to Russia's regions.

RUSSIA: MOSCOW: BORIS YELTSIN AT AWARDS CEREMONY
Russian/Nat
Russian tanks and jets continue to pound the Chechen capital, Grozny, on Wednesday.
Russian forces claim to have captured four key villages in Chechnya, which lie along a strategically important highway running east to the neighbouring republic of Dagestan.
Meanwhile, in his most extensive public statement about the fighting so far, President Yeltsin says that Moscow is determined to press ahead with its campaign.
He says Russian forces will destroy the centre of international terrorism in Chechnya and let people live calmly and peacefully.
President Boris Yeltsin has so far avoided making many public announcements on the progress of the conflict in Chechnya.
But on Wednesday, at a ceremony to reward Russians who have distinguished themselves in public life, he claimed that military action is only aimed at Islamic militants who have made a base in the republic.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
The operation in the Chechen republic is intended to rid it of terrorists, it is a counter terrorist-operation. We want to wipe out the terrorists, to destroy the centre of international terrorism in Chechnya once and for all and to let the people there live calmly and peacefully.
SUPER CAPTION: Boris Yeltsin, Russian President
Yeltsin also praised the Russian troops fighting in Chechnya.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Russian soldiers and officers are bringing peace and stability back to the long-suffering Chechen land. Every day and every hour they display courage and bravery while cleansing Chechnya of bandits.
SUPER CAPTION: Boris Yeltsin, Russian President
During the ceremony, three Russian officers were awarded the Hero of Russia, the country's top medal, for their part in the conflict.
Russian troops entered Chechnya in September with the stated intention of wiping out Islamic militants.
The Islamists had carried out two raids on the neighbouring Russian republic of Dagestan and were also blamed for four apartment blasts in Russian cities that killed 300 people.
But after early successes, the Russian military now appears to be trying to occupy all of Chechnya, in a bid to end its de facto independence.

Russia: Turkey “pursuing an internal policy of Islamisation - Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the Turkish leadership of “pursuing an internal policy of Islamisation in the country, speaking before a meeting of the State Council in Nizhny Tagil in the Sverdlovsk Region, Wednesday. He went on to approve Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warning to Russian citizens from visiting Turkey over the hostile environment ensued by the governments internal policy.
SOT, Russian President Vladimir Putin (Russian):What else could we do! After the tragic events of the destruction of our aircraft and the death of the pilot. The Foreign Minister is right to warn our citizens about the danger, it was a necessary measure. The problem is not even the tragedy we faced yesterday. The problem lies much deeper. We see - and we are not alone, I assure you, it is seen all over the world – that current Turkish leadership for a considerable number of years has been pursuing an internal policy of Islamisation in the country.
SOT, Russian President Vladimir Putin (Russian): Islam is a great world religion and one of the traditional religions of the Russian Federation, we support Islam and will continue to do so. But we are talking about the support for more radical directions which creates a very hostile environment and atmosphere that is not visible at when it is first seen. That is first. Secondly, after what happened yesterday, we cannot exclude any other incidents. And if that happens we will somehow have to react to it. And our citizens in Turkey may be under significant risk and the Foreign Ministry is obliged to inform about it.

Capital of the Urals - Yekaterinburg ++REPLAY++
(28 Jun 2018) LEADIN:
World Cup host city, Yekaterinburg, is the Capital of the Urals and home to former Russian President, Boris Yeltsin.
The city witnessed one of the most crucial moments of Russian history and proudly serves some impressive pelmeni dumplings too.
STORYLINE:
Located in the heart of the Ural Mountains, opposition-minded Yekaterinburg has played a role in many crucial moments of Russia's history.
In 1918, the last Russian Czar, Nicholas II and his family were executed here.
Today, at the execution site, the Church on Blood - as it's known - stands as a monument to the event.
Built in 2003, on the ground floor it houses a restored basement, popularly known as the Shooting Room.
The history of the Romanov dynasty ended right behind us, explains historian Sergei Sokolov.
Here was the house of the engineer Ipatiev, located in the beginning of the 20th century, where Bolsheviks brought the last emperor and his family from Tobolsk in 1918.
Here they spent a few months, from April to July, and in mid-July, on night of the 16th, the whole family and servants were executed in the basement of this house.
The original Ipatiev house, where Nicholas II and his family were executed, was demolished by another historical figure, Boris Yeltsin, in 1977.
At that time, Yeltsin was the leader of the Sverdlovsk communist party, just starting his career.
Around 14 years later, he became the first president of a new, democratic Russia.
Yeltsin was born in the tiny village of Butka, about 250 kilometers (155 miles) east of Yekaterinburg.
He held a deep emotional connection to the region until his death in 2007.
To pay tribute to him, the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center, one of the largest and most modern museums in Russia, was opened in 2015.
It exhibits not only explore the period of Russian history under Boris Yeltsin, but also Russian history as a whole.
Among other rarities exhibited in the center is this nuclear briefcase.
Boris Yeltsin was from here, from the Ural region, explains director Dina Sorokina.
He started his career here, in Sverdlovsk, as Yekaterinburg used to be known then, during the Soviet times.
And the beginning of his career certainly takes roots here, in the Ural region, in Sverdlovsk. However, there is also an emotional connection to it.
Yekaterinburg's restaurants specialise in dumplings - or 'pelmeni,' as they're known in Russia.
Historians say dumplings came to the Urals from China, but residents claim the Urals is actually home to the world-famous dish.
Nowadays, pelmeni come with many different fillings, but meat-filled dumplings are the most popular.
The classic recipe of pelmeni is quite simple - mincemeat of pork and beef is wrapped in thin, unleavened dough.
(Ural) people are working class. We work here, especially men, they work hard, explains chef Larisa Sychyova.
There are a lot of factories, that is why the priority is meat, meat, and meat. That is why in the Urals and Siberia (pelmeni) is our priority.
Ural dumplings can be found in almost every café or restaurant. It's claimed they're especially good with vodka.
For a late-night drink, there are dozens of bars and clubs located around the city centre.
There are plenty of clubs, plenty of fun venues where one can rest, hang out, go crazy, says partygoer Artyom Yaroslavtsev.
There are venues with tasty food, take a rest, drink beer, listen to musicians, jazz musicians, rock musicians. One can hang out with techno or deep house.

Hundreds Of Crows Just Bombed Russian President With Rocks. Why Birds Are So Angry With Him?
It might sound like something from Alfred Hitchcock Birds movie but what crows just did in Russia is far exceeded Alfred Hitchcock wildest dreams. And it is so incredible that you won't sleep tonight after seeing it. We all knew that crows are smart but we never knew they can organize into the flying army bombers to vanquish their enemies. Russia city of Yekaterinburg is Siberia. This is Russian Presidential center. Yes, Siberia is not only wilderness but well developed big cities like this one. People of Yekaterinburg gathered to Celebrate 1 Year of opening of former Russian President Boris Yeltsin center. It's like Ronald Reagan or George Bush library but much grander. Boris Yeltsin ruled Russia for 10 years and he looked very much like Donald Trump. Tall, Big, Loud, With Same Hair Style. When hundreds of people gathered to celebrate one year of Russian President Boris Yeltsin center, museum and skyscraper opening. Hundreds of crows nearly each one holding a rock showed up in the sky. They started to bombard Yeltsin center with rocks. Their first attack was unsuccessful, rocks landed on the roof of the building cracking some glass but not a single thick skyscraper grade glass was penetrated. Nonetheless, all attendees were evacuated from the building to the yard, fearing massive glass failure. In a few minters crows returned with more rocks and on higher speed, higher altitude and different throwing angle of bombardment and this time they managed to penetrate several thick panels of glass. Security guards started to fire at crows and crows left. You should see the video of the second wave of crow attack on Russian internet. Unfortunately, Kryan channel does not have copyrights to show it here. For those of who constantly writing comments that Kryan channel using music or video without permission: Kryan channel has a written copyright agreement with The Associated Press and several major channels - All American but not Russian. But how Russian President offended crows to invoke their wrath on 1 year anniversary of his center opening? It turns out that exactly on the day of the attack September 27, 1994 or 23 years ago Russian President called Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and told him that Moscow is overrun by crows and it's time to exterminate those rats with wings. Interesting, that following October crow extermination teams did not find much crows in Moscow because they all suddenly left the capital after the very first crows were exterminated. Scientists know that crows can communicate, can live up to 30 years, have good memory and can remember faces and things for months but for 23 years? And how did they organize into the bomber army and knew who was responsible for the extermination order. That's something for you to think about this night.
