Solovetsky Monastery, Solovki (Russia) - Travel Guide
Take a tour of Solovetsky Monastery in Solovki, Russia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Located on the Solovetsky Islands, a small archipelago in Solovki, Russia, is the Solovetsky Monastery.
The site was founded by two monks in the 1400s and after a generous land donation the monastery was substantially expanded.
The secluded location of the islands was a perfect stronghold throughout the Livonian, Crimian and Russian Civil Wars.
The surrounding walls are four to six meters in thickness and encompass the village where the monastery is located.
A source of great pride for the monks inhabiting the monastery were the expansive manicured grounds and gardens.
Solovetsky Monastery and village now cover all the Solovetsky Islands and are open for visitors and pilgrims.

World Famous Huge Monastery in a Tiny Provincial Russian Village
Saint Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery (Свято-Троицкий Серафимо-Дивеевский Монастырь) is a monastery of nuns (convent) in Diveyevo settlement near Sarov (12 km), and near the city of Nizhny Novgorod (185 km), in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia. It is situated in a region considered to have immense spiritual significance
The convent is famous because of Saint Seraphim of Sarov (one of the most revered saints in Rusia). He served as Elder (Staretz -Старец) for the nuns of this monastery, though he only travelled to the convent once during his lifetime. He was a monk at the nearby monastery of Sarov. After the fall of communism, his relics, which had been feared lost, were discovered in the storeroom of a museum of atheism in Saint Petersburg and solemnly transferred to the Seraphim-Diveyevo monastery, which has come to be named after him.
The monastery is also famous for possessing the only portrait of Saint Seraphim that was painted of him by a contemporary, the Diveyevo Portrait. During the years of Communist persecution, the portrait was smuggled out of Russia and is kept to this day in the Novo-Diveyevo Convent in Nanuet, New York.

Russian Village Hits -58 Degree Celsius
A village in Russia's Yakutia region named Oymyakon is apparently the coldest permanently settled place on earth. Here, people's eyelashes freeze up and the thermostat hits -58 degree Celsius (or -72.4 degrees Fahrenheit). Sometimes, it's even colder!
Proudly known as The Pole of the Cold, Oymyakon has a population of about 500 people. Despite everything being frozen, people still know how to have some fun.
