Walking through the halls of the Winter Palace
The Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia, was, from 1732 to 1917, the official residence of the Russian monarchs. Today, the restored palace forms part of a complex of buildings housing the Hermitage Museum. Situated between the Palace Embankment and the Palace Square, adjacent to the site of Peter the Great's original Winter Palace, the present and fourth Winter Palace was built and altered almost continuously between the late 1730s and 1837, when it was severely damaged by fire and immediately rebuilt. The storming of the palace in 1917 as depicted in Soviet paintings and Eisenstein's 1927 film October became an iconic symbol of the Russian Revolution.
The palace was constructed on a monumental scale that was intended to reflect the might and power of Imperial Russia. From the palace, the Tsar ruled over 22,400,000 square kilometers (8,600,000 sq mi) (almost 1/6 of the Earth's landmass) and over 125 million subjects by the end of the 19th century. It was designed by many architects, most notably Bartolomeo Rastrelli, in what came to be known as the Elizabethan Baroque style. The green-and-white palace has the shape of an elongated rectangle, and its principal façade is 250 meters (820 ft) long and 30 m (98 ft) high. The Winter Palace has been calculated to contain 1,786 doors, 1,945 windows, 1,500 rooms, and 117 staircases. Following a serious fire, the palace's rebuilding of 1837 left the exterior unchanged, but large parts of the interior were redesigned in a variety of tastes and styles, leading the palace to be described as a 19th-century palace inspired by a model in Rococo style.
In 1905, the Bloody Sunday massacre occurred when demonstrators marched toward the Winter Palace, but by this time the Imperial Family had chosen to live in the more secure and secluded Alexander Palace at Tsarskoe Selo and returned to the Winter Palace only for formal and state occasions. Following the February Revolution of 1917, the palace was for a short time the seat of the Russian Provisional Government, led by Alexander Kerensky. Later that same year, the palace was stormed by a detachment of Red Army soldiers and sailors—a defining moment in the birth of the Soviet state.

Russia Celebrates Pushkin Day! 220 Years From Birth Of The Biggest Russian Poet
The prominent poet, considered the founder of the modern Russian literary language, was born on June 6, 1799
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was born on June 6, 1799 in Moscow in the family of Sergey Lvovich Pushkin (1770-1848) and Nadezhda Osipovna Gannibal (1775-1836). His father served as an official in the Moscow Commissariat. Mother was the granddaughter of Abram Hannibal, an African orderly of Peter the Great.
Pushkin studied at the Tsarskoye Selo school 1811-1817, and during this time, he wrote a lot of his poetry. He was first published in 1814, at the age of 15. A year later, he would read his own poem Memories in Tsarskoe Selo, dedicated to the events of the Patriotic War of 1812 at a school exam. The poem was well received by Russian poet Gavriil Derzhavin.

After graduation, Pushkin became involved in the literary life of St. Petersburg, took part in literary circles, theaters. During this time, he wrote Ruslan and Lyudmila, a poem that combined Russian fairy tale themes with European knight novels.
In 1820, when his poems took on political overtones, Pushkin narrowly escapes exile, although he angered Alexander I. His friends vouched for him, and he was sent to present day Ukraine, as clerk. During that time, he gets the idea that later will become perhaps his most famous work Eugene Onegin.
His first book of poems was published in 1826, and Boris Godunov became very popular. Yet a year later, Pushkin was investigated for his poem Andrei Chenier that thought to have showed support for the Decembrists uprising. Pushkin was followed by the police and forbidden to leave the country.
Several year later, he moved to the estate in the Nizhnigorodskiy Region, given to him by his father ahead of his marriage to Natalia Goncharova. The time Pushkin spent there has been viewed by the critics as the creative rise of the poet. It was there that he wrote Little Tragedies, finished Eugene Onegin, and wrote over 30 poems.
In December of 1830, Pushkin came to Moscow to marry Goncharova. The couple had four children: two daughters Maria and Natalia, and two sons Alexander and Gregory.
In the next 5 years, Pushkin wrote Queen of Spades, many of his fairy tales, and popular prose.
In 1837, Pushkin challenged George Dantes to a duel. The Frenchman openly courted his wife. During the duel, Pushkin was seriously wounded and died two days later. He was buried in his family ancestral tomb in the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsky monastery near Pskov.
Pushkin is considered the founder of the modern Russian literary language. He had a great influence on subsequent representatives of the golden age of Russian literature, such as Nikolai Gogol, Ivan Turgenev, Afanasy Fet, Fyodor Dostoevsky and others. Dozens of films, operas, ballets, plays and pieces of music were created based on his works.
Every June 6 Russia celebrates Pushkin's Day.

March of the Life-Guards Pavlovsky Regiment
Pages of His Imperial Majesty Corps was a prestigious military educational institution of the Russian Empire. The institution was founded in the reign of Empress Elizabeth II...
At the very beginning of his reign, Alexander I conceived the task of reforming the Corps des Pages to transform it into an elite educational institution, giving its pupils a first-class military education worthy of the court and (in the future) guards service.
The pupils of the corps of pages during the training period were considered to be numbered among the Imperial court and carried the responsibilities of guard duty. Those Pages who had distinguished themselves in academics, behaviour and education, as well as being fluent in foreign languages had the honour of serving as Chamber-pages to the Emperor and Empress ....
Originally housed in the palace of Admiral Bruce, in 1810 the Corps moved to the former palace of Count M. I. Vorontsov.
In 1763 the Count had been forced to cede his debts to the Russian treasury including the palace....Upon accession to the throne of Paul I, the palace was transferred to the Order of Malta in the late 1790s, and the Chapter of Russian Orders was placed here. In 1798 - 1800, the architect J. Quarenghi built the Church of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist in the palace , and the Maltese Chapel was attached to the main building on the part of the garden....
The Institution was abolished in 1918 the First Petrograd Infantry School of the Red Army Command Staff was established in the palace ...From 1955 until the present, the Suvorov Military School is located here. In 2002 the Museum of the History of Cadet Corps of Russia was opened in the Maltese Chapel.
Winter Palace and Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Russia - Госуда́рственный Эрмита́ж
From its Imperial origins, the Winter Palace and Hermitage Museum has distinguished itself as one of the finest museums of the world. Contrasting historical paintings, postcards, and photos with their modern contemporaries, the Winter Palace and State Hermitage Museum come alive in breathtaking detail. Music accompaniment: Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers and By the Beautiful Blue Danube, composed by Johann Strauss II.
The New Hermitage Museum is expertly portrayed through watercolor paintings by renowned artists Konstantin Ukhtomsky, Edward Hau, and Luigi Premazzi. The works provide a glimpse of the Hermitage Museum as it was in the mid 1800's. Through the paintings, it's possible to get a sense of the world renowned collections, which include: The Room of Ancient Sculpture, The Cabinet of the Italian Schools, The Room of Russian Sculpture, The Gallery of the Flemish School, The Gallery of the French School, The Room of the Dutch and Flemish Schools, The Room of Coins, The Room of German Painting, The Gallery of the History of Ancient Painting, The Room of Cameos, The Gallery of Antiquities of Cimmerian Bosporus, The Raphael Gallery, The Room of Greek Sculpture, Voltaire's Library, The Room of Engravings, The Hall of Graeco-Etruscan Vases, The Room of Archaeology, and The Room of Manuscript.
Perhaps the most stunning paintings of the Winter Palace lavishly illustrate the rooms of the private Imperial Apartments. Paintings include: The Drawing-Room of Duke M. Leuchtenberg, The Large Study of Grand Princess Maria Nikolayevna, The Boudoir of Grand Princess Maria Alexandrovna, The Military Library of Emperor Alexander II, The Bedchamber of Empress Maria Alexandrovna, The Study of Emperor Alexander II, The Study of Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna, and The White Drawing-Room of Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna.
Elite Russian Private School Emphasizes Christianity and Patriotism
Russia Insider - Russian News Without the Anti-Russian Bias))
Link to the article
St. Basil School, outside of Moscow, is trying to revive the traditions of the Tsarist Imperial Lyceum where famous writers and statesmen such as Alexander Pushkin were educated.
The founder of the school, Konstantin Malofeev, a successful Russian businessman, explains the school's values:
the Gymnasium's pupils are taught to be good Christians and patriots.
I think if they are taught to be patriots and if they have faith in God, they will do much more for the future of Russia, as opposed to children whose only goal is to achieve good exam result.
Building people with strong characters and a good upbringing is much more important than education and this is what our school is all about”.
Living Rooms in Pavlovsk Palace
After the death of Paul I the mistress of the imperial residence was Maria Feodorovna, the late emperor's widow. The building works were carried on up to the 1820s. Such eminent architects as Carlo Rossi, Giacomo Quarenghi, Andrey Voronikhin, Thomas de Thomon, the sculptors Ivan Martos, Fiodor Gordeyev and others contributed to the decoration of Pavlovsk.
Especially great was the role of Andrey Voronikhin who was in charge of reconstruction works in the palace after the fire of 1803. He not only revived the gutted interiors but built his famous Little Lantern as well.
Working on the interiors of the palace was also the brilliant decorator and landscape designer Pietro Gonzaga. After the 1830s no additions of any importance were made to the decoration of the Pavlovsk Great Palace.

Alexander Pushkin - Queen Of Spades (part 1)
Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin June 6, 1799 – February 10, 1837) was a Russian author of the Romantic era who is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature. Pushkin was born into Russian nobility in Moscow. His matrilineal great grandfather Abram Gannibal was brought over as a slave from Eritrean and had risen to become an aristocrat. Pushkin published his first poem at the age of fifteen, and was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his graduation from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum.
While under the strict surveillance of the Tsar's political police and unable to publish, Pushkin wrote his most famous play, the drama Boris Godunov. His novel in verse, Eugene Onegin, was serialized between 1825 and 1832. Notoriously touchy about his honour, Pushkin fought as many as twenty-nine duels, and was fatally wounded in such an encounter with Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d'Anthès. Pushkin had accused D'Anthès, a French officer serving with the Chevalier Guard Regiment of attempting to seduce the poet's wife, Natalya Pushkina.
Pushkin's father, Sergei Lvovich Pushkin (1767–1848), was descended from a distinguished family of the Russian nobility that traced its ancestry back to the 12th century. Pushkin's mother Nadezhda (Nadya) Ossipovna Gannibal (1775–1836) was descended through her paternal grandmother from German and Scandinavian nobility. She was the daughter of Ossip Abramovich Gannibal (1744–1807) and his wife, Maria Alekseyevna Pushkina (1745–1818). Ossip Abramovich Gannibal's father, Pushkin's great-grandfather, was Abram Petrovich Gannibal (1696–1781), a Black African page kidnapped and brought to Russia as a gift for Peter the Great. Abram wrote in a letter to Empress Elizabeth, Peter the Great's daughter, that he was from the town of Lagon. Russian biographers concluded from the beginning that Lagon was in Ethiopia, a nation with Orthodox Christian associations.
Vladimir Nabokov, when researching Eugene Onegin, cast serious doubt on this Ethiopian origin theory. In 1995 Dieudonné Gnammankou outlined a strong case that Lagon was a town located on the southern side of Lake Chad, now in northern Cameroon. However, there is no conclusive evidence for either theory. After education in France as a military engineer, Abram Gannibal became governor of Reval and eventually Général en Chef (the third most senior army rank) in charge of the building of sea forts and canals in Russia. Born in Moscow, Pushkin published his first poem at the age of fifteen. By the time he finished school as part of the first graduating class of the prestigious Imperial Lyceum in Tsarskoe Selo near Saint Petersburg, his talent was already widely recognized within the Russian literary scene. After school, Pushkin plunged into the vibrant and raucous intellectual youth culture of the capital, Saint Petersburg. In 1820 he published his first long poem, Ruslan and Lyudmila, amidst much controversy about its subject and style.
Pushkin gradually became committed to social reform and emerged as a spokesman for literary radicals. This angered the government, and led to his transfer from the capital (1820). He went to the Caucasus and to the Crimea, then to Kamenka and Chisinau, where he became a Freemason. Pushkin's married lover, Anna Petrovna Kern, for whom he probably wrote the most famous love poem in the Russian language. Here he joined the Filiki Eteria, a secret organization whose purpose was to overthrow Ottoman rule in Greece and establish an independent Greek state.
He was inspired by the Greek Revolution and when the war against the Ottoman Turks broke out he kept a diary recording the events of the great national uprising. He stayed in Chisinau until 1823 and wrote two Romantic poems which brought him wide acclaim; The Captive of the Caucasus and The Fountain of Bakhchisaray. In 1823 Pushkin moved to Odessa, where he again clashed with the government, which sent him into exile on his mother's rural estate of Mikhailovskoe (near Pskov) from 1824 to 1826. In Mikhailovskoe, Pushkin wrote nostalgic love poems which had been dedicated to Elizaveta Vorontsova, wife of Malorossia's General-Governor. Then Pushkin continued work on his verse-novel Eugene Onegin.
