Russia - Exploring Tver and Torjok
When living in Moscow, it feels good to leave the city and to get some fresh air for the weekend. Jump in a train for 2 hours, and you will be in Tver.
Capital City of Tverskaya Oblyast, this city has honestly nothing so special... but is trully Russian. A nice walking street in the city center, leading to the Lenin's statue, a beautiful church, the Volga on which you can walk during winter... and that's it, not more. Although it's located only 2 hours from Moscow, you can feel a real difference between these two cities. People, prices, speed, architecture are very different. But you don't want to spend there more than one day. That's why you can take a taxi and go to Torjok.
Torjok is way smaller, but way cutter. Many little churches, a small Kremlin, and the atmosphere of a little village. I would recommend it for people staying in Moscow and looking for a quiet place to spend one day... not more.
This little trip is not hard to organize... especially with Kodamas always here to show you the way.

Саундтрек к Фильму:
До начала XX века оставалось 20 лет. Страну лихорадило. Никогда еще царская власть в России не была столь неустойчива. Ответственность за будущее империи пришлось взять на себя Александру III Александровичу. Он сумел вывести Россию из экономического кризиса и превратить ее в одну из самых мощных мировых держав. Именно такой — на пике своего могущества — страна перешла во власть Николая Александровича Романова. Тогда еще никто не знал, что Российская империя вскоре прекратит свое существование, а Николай станет последним ее правителем, последним монархом из великой династии — династии Романовых.

UNDERGROUND: How not to Become a Star (ENG subtitles)
Music Documentary (International version, Russian/English soundtrack with ENG subtitles)
Rock stars fill stadiums and get millions of dollars. But this is only the top of the iceberg of music. What about other musicians, unknown to the general public, who are called underground? What drives them? Hope to become rock stars? Strife for fame and fortune? Or just a getaway from the drab existence?
Over 2 years the filmmakers followed the musicians and their fans in concert halls and backstage, in music stores and studios, often with a hidden camera. The film is featuring such bands as ITEM, NU-NATION, Vergeltung, Stalwart, [AMATORY], Finntroll, Korpiklaani, KOMA, Atomica, Lowriderz and many, many others.
It is the funniest, the saddest, the most unusual and the most truthful film about musicians.

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
=======
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 ...
