The Russian Revolution. Episode 5. Docudrama. English Subtitles. StarMediaEN

Russia’s two revolutions – in February and October 1917, collectively known as ‘The Russian Revolution’, changed Russia beyond recognition. The February Revolution dismantled the Tsarist autocracy and forced the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, ending the imperial Romanov dynasty that had ruled the country for over three hundred years. A few months later in October, Russia was to face a further shock - another revolution.
This epic series, using a stunning mixture of CGI, dramatic reconstruction scenes and unique historic library footage, commemorates the centenary of these two most crucial events in Russian history - the February and the October Revolutions.

Dancing Hare Krishnas in the streets of ST PETERBURG, RUSSIA

Our first stop on our trip to Europe was Saint Petersburg, Russia. We took a cruise ship for two days and didn't need a visa because of this. It was mandatory to book an excursion, so we pick the one that allowed us two hours to wander around on our own. The other tours made you stay on a group tour. We visited Church of the Savior on Blood which is the main landmark in Saint Petersburg. Afterwards, we ate Japanese Teppanyaki for dinner.

Wikipedia:
Saint Petersburg (Russian: Санкт-Петербу́рг, tr. Sankt-Peterburg, IPA: [ˈsankt pʲɪtʲɪrˈburk] (About this sound listen)) is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow, with 5 million inhabitants in 2012,[10] part of the Saint Petersburg agglomeration with a population of 6.2 million (2015). An important Russian port on the Baltic Sea, it has a status of a federal subject (a federal city).

Situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, it was founded by Tsar Peter the Great on 27 May [O.S. 16 May] 1703. On 1 September 1914, the name was changed from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd (Russian: Петрогра́д, IPA: [pʲɪtrɐˈgrat]), on 26 January 1924 to Leningrad (Russian: Ленингра́д, IPA: [lʲɪnʲɪnˈgrat]), and on 1 October 1991 back to Saint Petersburg.[11] During the periods 1713–1728 and 1732–1918, Saint Petersburg was the capital of Imperial Russia. In 1918, the central government bodies moved to Moscow,[12] which is about 625 km (388 miles) to the south-east.

Saint Petersburg is one of the most modern cities of Russia, as well as its cultural capital.[13] The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world.[14] Many foreign consulates, international corporations, banks and businesses have offices in Saint Petersburg.

Липецк памятник Петру 1 05 11 15

Скульптор Кербель Л.Е., памятник медикам (см. описание ниже)

Лев Ефимович Кербель - автор памятника погибшим выпускникам 1ММИ им. И.М. Сеченова (установлен в 1972 г.) и бюста И.М. Сеченову перед бывшим ректоратом 1ММИ (1958 г.)
Л. Е. Кербель родился 25 октября (7 ноября) 1917 года в небольшом селе Семёновка Черниговской губернии Российской республики. В 1945 году командование советских войск в Германии вызывало Кербеля в Берлин, где в соавторстве с В. Е. Цигалем он выполнил работу над монументом в память героев штурма Берлина, который решено было установить в берлинском парке Тиргартен. Это был второй по времени создания мемориал воинам-победителям после монумента в Кёнигсберге. Тогда же Кербелем были созданы и установлены памятники советскому солдату-освободителю в городе Кюстрин и на Зееловских высотах близ Берлина. Член КПСС с 1963 года.
Л. Е. Кербель — автор более 50 памятников и мемориалов, установленных во многих отечественных городах и за рубежом. Им создано большое количество скульптур выдающихся деятелей коммунистической партии, советского государства, военачальникам, героям Советского Союза и Социалистического Труда. Совместно с вице-президентом Академии художеств М. Г. Манизером Кербель выполнял посмертную маску И. В. Сталина.
Лениниана Кербеля необычайно многообразна. Она состоит из всевозможных портретов вождя и монументов, включающих композиции на революционные темы. По его проектам были поставлены памятники В. И. Ленину в Москве на Октябрьской площади, Смоленске, Горках Ленинских, Кемерове, Краснознаменске Московской области[3], Полтаве, Сыктывкаре, Липецке, Софии, Гаване (в соавторстве с Антонио Кинтаной) и других местах. Сейчас часть из них демонтирована.
Другим важным социальным заказом стал для Кербеля образ Карла Маркса. Памятники на площади Свердлова в Москве (Ленинская премия, 1962) и в центре немецкого города Карл-Маркс-Штадта, за который он был награждён правительством ГДР орденом Карла Маркса.
Особое место среди работ Л. Е. Кербеля занимают надгробные камни и монументы. Это памятники С. Ф. Бондарчуку (в конце 2012 года перенесено на территорию киноконцерна Мосфильм в качестве самостоятельного памятника), Э. К. Тиссэ, Е. А. Фурцевой, М. И. Бабановой, Б. А. Лавреневу, адмиралу А. Г. Головко, дважды Герою Советского Союза Д. А. Драгунскому, Д. Ф. Ойстраху и многим других известным деятелям.
Как бы ни были значительны достижения мастера, его творческие планы всегда шли дальше. Весной 1986 года Кербель завершил свою новую большую работу — монумент в честь 100-летия со дня рождения Эрнста Тельмана, ставший центром архитектурного ансамбля одного из рабочих районов Берлина. В 1998 году в Измайлове был открыт памятник Петру I.
С 1962 года профессор Л. Е. Кербель вёл мастерскую скульптуры в МГХИ имени В. И. Сурикова. Он воспитал плеяду талантливых мастеров, успешно работающих в России и за рубежом. В 1964 году на киностудии «Центрнаучфильм» снят фильм «Первому коммунисту» о творчестве Л. Кербеля (режиссёр В. Томберг).
Скончался Лев Ефимович 14 августа 2003 года в Москве, похоронен на Новодевичьем кладбище.

Герой Социалистического Труда (1985)
орден «За заслуги перед Отечеством» III степени (5 ноября 1997) — за заслуги перед государством и большой личный вклад в развитие отечественного изобразительного искусства

SUMMARY
=======
The Luftwaffe (German pronunciation: [ˈlʊftvafə] (listen)) was the aerial warfare branch of the combined German Wehrmacht military forces during World War II. Germany's military air arms during World War I, the Luftstreitkräfte of the Army and the Marine-Fliegerabteilung of the Navy, had been disbanded in May 1920 as a result of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which stated that Germany was forbidden to have any air force.
During the interwar period, German pilots were trained secretly in violation of the treaty at Lipetsk Air Base. With the rise of the Nazi Party and the repudiation of the Versailles Treaty, the Luftwaffe was officially established on 26 February 1935, just over a fortnight before open defiance of the Versailles Treaty through German re-armament and conscription would be announced on March 16. The Condor Legion, a Luftwaffe detachment sent to aid Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War, provided the force with a valuable testing ground for new tactics and aircraft. Partially as a result of this combat experience, the Luftwaffe had become one of the most sophisticated, technologically advanced, and battle-experienced air forces in the world when World War II broke out in 1939. By the summer of 1939, the Luftwaffe had twenty-eight Geschwader (wings). The Luftwaffe also operated Fallschirmjäger paratrooper units.
The Luftwaffe proved instrumental in the German victories across Poland and Western Europe in 1939 and 1940. During the Battle of Britain, however, despite inflicting severe damage to the RAF's infrastructure and, during the subsequent Blitz, devastating many British cities, the German air force failed to batter the beleaguered British into submission. From 1942, Allied bombing campaigns gradually destroyed the Luftwaffe's fighter arm. From late 1942, the Luftwaffe used its surplus ground, support and other personnel to raise Luftwaffe Field Divisions. In addition to its service in the West, the Luftwaffe operated over the Soviet Union, North Africa and Southern Europe. Despite its belated use of advanced turbojet and rocket propelled aircraft for the destruction of Allied bombers, the Luftwaffe was overwhelmed by the Allies' superior numbers and improved tactics, and a lack of trained pilots and aviation fuel. In January 1945, during the closing stages of the Battle of the Bulge, the Luftwaffe made a last-ditch effort to win air superiority, and met with failure. With rapidly dwindling supplies of petroleum, oil, and lubricants after this campaign, and as part of the entire combined Wehrmacht military forces as a whole, the Luftwaffe ceased to be an effective fighting force.
After the defeat of Germany, the Luftwaffe was disbanded in 1946. During World War II, German pilots claimed roughly 70,000 aerial victories, while over 75,000 Luftwaffe aircraft were destroyed or significantly damaged. Of these, nearly 40,000 were lost entirely. The Luftwaffe had only two commanders-in-chief throughout its history: Hermann Göring and later Generalfeldmarschall Robert Ritter von Greim for the last two weeks of the war.
The Luftwaffe was deeply involved in Nazi war crimes. By the end of the war, a significant percentage of aircraft production originated in concentration camps, an industry employing tens of thousands of prisoners. The Luftwaffe's demand for labor was one of the factors that led to the deportation and murder of hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews in 1944. The Luftwaffe High Command organized Nazi human experimentation, and Luftwaffe ground troops committed massacres in Italy, Greece, and Poland.

SUMMARY
=======
Leipzig (, also US: , German: [ˈlaɪptsɪç]) is the most populous city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. With a population of 581,980 inhabitants as of 2017 (1.1 million residents in the larger urban zone), it is Germany's tenth most populous city. Leipzig is located about 160 kilometres (99 mi) southwest of Berlin at the confluence of the White Elster, Pleiße and Parthe rivers at the southern end of the North German Plain.
Leipzig has been a trade city since at least the time of the Holy Roman Empire. The city sits at the intersection of the Via Regia and the Via Imperii, two important medieval trade routes. Leipzig was once one of the major European centers of learning and culture in fields such as music and publishing. Leipzig became a major urban center within the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) after the Second World War, but its cultural and economic importance declined.Events in Leipzig in 1989 played a significant role in precipitating the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe, mainly through demonstrations starting from St. Nicholas Church. Since the reunification of Germany, Leipzig has undergone significant change with the restoration of some historical buildings, the demolition of others, and the development of a modern transport infrastructure. Leipzig today is an economic centre, the most livable city in Germany, according to the GfK marketing research institution and has the second-best future prospects of all cities in Germany, according to HWWI and Berenberg Bank. Leipzig Zoo is one of the most modern zoos in Europe and ranks first in Germany and second in Europe according to Anthony Sheridan. Since the opening of the Leipzig City Tunnel in 2013, Leipzig forms the centrepiece of the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland public transit system. Leipzig is currently listed as a Gamma World City, Germany's Boomtown and as the European City of the Year 2019.Leipzig has long been a major center for music, both classical as well as modern dark alternative music or darkwave genres. The Oper Leipzig is one of the most prominent opera houses in Germany. It was founded in 1693, making it the third oldest opera venue in Europe after La Fenice (Venice, Italy) and the Hamburg State Opera (Hamburg, ...
