Searching for God in Kazakhstan
Pavel Koktishev is a student in Kazakhstan who also works in the field of television and is president of the youth branch of the Green Party (2: 22).
Hello. My name is Pavel Koktishev. I'm 20.I'm a Kazakh born in Karaganda, and now live and work in Almaty. I write and direct a television program, Leaders for the Twenty-first Century, and I'm also president of the youth branch of the Green Party.
After meeting some people of Opus Dei, I began to get to know the message it is spreading throughout the world: that one can become a saint at work, in one's daily tasks, serving others. To me, that is one of the principal goals of our life here on earth.
In the way I am, in my make-up, I'm a person who is searching. Naturally, before I can embrace a specific viewpoint, I have to travel a long road—a very long one: I have to reflect on these ideas—in my head and in my heart. I ask myself: Is this for me, or not.
The surprising thing is that from the first moment, it seemed to me that Opus Dei's message could be the star to guide my steps, that it could become the principal path in my life. My main goal in life is to become an honorable person, to go to heaven, and to help others take the same path. If I do so, the rest will take care of itself.
All of this also helps me in my professional life. I see that my future lies in the world of politics. In this profession I'll be able to help my fellow citizens, those at my side. It is precisely here, in my development, in my growth as a person, that my relationship with Opus Dei is going to play an important role.
Message
Work, family life, and other ordinary activities are occasions for spiritual union with Jesus Christ.
Work done well is an offering to God.
As the Second Vatican Council noted, every baptized person is called to follow Jesus Christ, by living according to the Gospel and making it known to others. The aim of Opus Dei is to contribute to that evangelizing mission of the Church, by promoting among Christians of all social classes a life fully consistent with their faith, in the middle of the ordinary circumstances of their lives and especially through the sanctification of their work.
The following are some of the main features of the spirit of Opus Dei:
Divine filiation. Divine filiation is the foundation of the spirit of Opus Dei, said its founder, St. Josemaría Escrivá. The Christian is a child of God by virtue of baptism. Thus the formation provided by the Prelature seeks to foster among the Christian faithful a deep awareness of their being children of God, and helps them act accordingly. It fosters confidence in divine providence, simplicity in their dialogue with God, a deep awareness of the dignity of each human being and of the need for fraternity among all people, a truly Christian love for the world and for all human realities created by God, and a sense of calm and optimism.
Ordinary life. It is in the midst of the most material things of the earth that we must sanctify ourselves, serving God and all mankind, said St. Josemaría. The family, marriage, work -- all of our activities -- are opportunities for dealing with and imitating Jesus Christ, trying to practice charity, patience, humility, diligence, integrity, cheerfulness and all the other human and Christian virtues.
Sanctifying work. Sanctifying work means to work with the spirit of Jesus Christ, to work competently and ethically, with the aim of loving God and serving others, and thus to sanctify the world from within, making the Gospel present in all activities whether they be outstanding or humble and hidden. In the eyes of God what matters is the love that is put into work, not its human success.
Prayer and sacrifice. The formation given by Opus Dei encourages prayer and sacrifice in order to sustain the effort to sanctify one's ordinary occupations. Thus members strive to incorporate into their lives certain practices of Christian piety, such as prayer, daily Mass, sacramental confession, and reading and meditating on the Gospel. Devotion to Our Lady occupies an important place in their hearts. Also, to imitate Jesus Christ, they try to acquire a spirit of penance offering sacrifices, particularly those that help them fulfill their duties faithfully and make life more pleasant for others, things like renouncing small pleasures, fasting, almsgiving, etc.

Dissolution of the Soviet Union | Wikipedia audio article

Dissolution of the Soviet Union
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 dissolution of the Soviet Union occurred on 26 December 1991, officially granting self-governing independence to the Republics of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). It was a result of the declaration number 142-Н of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. The declaration acknowledged the independence of the former Soviet republics and created the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), although five of the signatories ratified it much later or did not do so at all. On the previous day, 25 December, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, the eighth and final leader of the USSR, resigned, declared his office extinct and handed over its powers—including control of the Soviet nuclear missile launching codes—to Russian President Boris Yeltsin. That evening at 7:32 p.m., the Soviet flag was lowered from the Kremlin for the last time and replaced with the pre-revolutionary Russian flag.Previously, from August to December all the individual republics, including Russia itself, had either seceded from the union or at the very least denounced the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR. The week before formal dissolution, eleven republics signed the Alma-Ata Protocol formally establishing the CIS and declaring that the USSR had ceased to exist. Both the Revolutions of 1989 and the dissolution of the USSR also marked the end of the Cold War.
Several of the former Soviet republics have retained close links with the Russian Federation and formed multilateral organizations such as the Commonwealth of Independent States, Eurasian Economic Community, the Union State, the Eurasian Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union to enhance economic and security cooperation. On the other hand, the Baltic states have joined NATO and the European Union.
