Bulgakov Museum
He was a Russian writer.
Bulgakov Museum, Kyiv Opera house, and Forest Song.
What can I say… Bulgakov is not only one of my favorite authors, but one of the most famous authors in the world, and visit his museum in his native city, where all his belongings, diaries, and letters were saved by his family, was an enormous pleasure! As always, I will not go too much in to the details, as you can find most of it on the internet (if you are interested, let me know in the section of comments below and I will make more in-depth video about this extraordinary person) but for now, just enjoy a short walk in his museum.
The second part of a video is related to a Ballet based on the fairy tale of famous Ukrainian author Lesia Ukrainka and in the video you will understand why am I going in more depth about the author and of this particular ballet.

Patriarch's ponds in Moscow. Interesting places on the Patriarch's ponds.
Today our best Moscow travel guide invites you to an exciting excursion – to the most mystical place in Moscow!
How can you get to Patriarchs ponds? Its easy.
You start from Mayakovskaya metro station, walk along Bolshaya Sadovaya street and turn to Malaya Bronnaya street. And just in 20 -50 meters you are here.
We pass Chaikovsky concert hall, the Satire theatre and the Aquarium garden. Here we stop at the first address of our tour, Sadovaya,10.
It is a famous house, where the brilliant Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov, lived. Today it is a museum of Bulgakov. And also this place is called a bad apartment. Lets go into the yard.
It was planned to install a huge monument here to the heroes of Bugakovs famous Master and Margarita. But later it was decided to confine with small forms.
There are a lot of fascinating and mysterious stores connected with the Patrics, as Moscovites have tenderly named this place.
Since the old days the Patrics are considered to be a bad and enchanted place. Russian writers wrote a lot about it. For example Tolstoy in Anna Karenina and of course Bulgakov in Master and Margarita.
In this very place in Bulgakovs great novel Ann has splitter the oil, and the tram has cut off Berlioses had. But unfortunately there has never been a tram line here.
Its nice to have a shady walk here, by the pond on a hot summer day. And in winter its good to skate on an ice rink.
There is a playground for kids right near the pond. And here is the monument to the fable writer Ivan Krylov, and to his heroes - animals. Kids will like it too. Don't forget to rub the nose of the dog Mos”ka and make a wish!
We ll continue our excursion and walk along Malaya Bronnaya street. Here in the intersection with Kosihinskiy street the first private cafe in Moscowwas located. It was called Margarita.
If you walk further, you ll see the Marco Polo hotel. If you are looking for a place to stay around here, you can see a video clip about this hotel on our Channel.
We turn left and go up the Maliy Kozihinskiy str to Trehprudniy str. There are some residential complexes and good restaurants here…
The famous russian poet Marina Zvetaeva was born and spent her childhood here, on Trehprudniy. Her house №8 has not survived, but on the other side of the street you can see the facade of the house №9, built in 1900 by architect Shekhtel.
There was a typography here. And the first book of Marina Zvetaeva was printed right here.
We are finishing our video tour near the wonderful private house of Shekhtel himself. He was the most popular and glamourous russian architect of the 20th century. One day well make a separate video about his gorgeous mansions in the centre of Moscow. And now we ll say bye bye to you here.

Russia, Moscow, Bulgakov's home 2011
Arbat street. The soul of Moscow. [MoscowTravelGuide]
So let's walk along the Arbat pavement and find out where Lev Tolstoy had dinner, where Alexander Pushkin spent his honeymoon and where Bulgakov's Margarita flew on the broom.
From the 19th century Arbat becomes one of the most aristocratic street in Moscow together with Povarskaya street. You can see an interesting video about this street on our channel.
Tolstoy, Rastopchin, Gagarin, Dolgorukiy, Cheremetiev, Golitsyn - all these noblemen lived here. Small mansions in empire style, wooden houses surrounded by gardens, but practically no shops.
The origin of the word Arbat is a mystery. Maybe it comes from the word arba -cart and maybe from the arabic word rabat -suburbs.
The street starts from the Arbat square. There is a cinema theatre Khudogestvenniy here - one of the oldest cinemas in Russia. It was opened in 1909 and then rebuilt by architect Shekhtel.
Arbatskaya metro station, that faces the square, has a shape of a five pointed star. This building is one of the first symbols of the Moscow metro.
From the end of the 19th century Arbat gets its contemporary look with several floor apartment houses, hotels, restaurants and shops. The names of its owners become popular, Filippov’s bakery, Shustov’s vines, Einem’s sweets.
Merchant Semen Tararikin openes Praga inn. We’ve told about this famous restaurant in our video about Povarskaya street.
Right here Chekov celebrated the premiere of his Seagull, Tolstoy read his novels. Poet Vladimir Mayakovsky liked to go here, when Praga became Мosselprom canteen.
In 1930s-1950 Arbat becomes the main government route. Stalin drives here to Kremlin every day, and the street itself is under the constant supervision of the secret police. Anatoliy Rybakov wrote about this times of arrests and repressions in his book The children of Arbat And here is the house where the action of the novel takes place.
Arbat becomes the first walking street in Moscow and the most popular one only 30 years ago.
Since the times of Perestroika Arbat becomes the centre of spontaneous concerts, actors playing in the street, poets reading their poems, singers, professional and unprofessional performing in a couple of meters of each other. Tents with souvenirs, book markets, painters were at every step of the street.
Last year the authorities banned the informal culture on Arbat, and the music stopped here.
Let's continue our walk- this building in soviet classicism style is the Vakhtangov drama theatre. Its history started in 1913 with the theatre studio, opened by the pupil of Stanislavskiy Yevgeny Vakhtangov. In 1926 the studio became a theater and the theatrical school - today it is the famous Schuka. Its graduates are many well known russian actors and directors.
As I told before from the 19th century some sеveral floor apartment houses appeared on Arbat. This impressive building in neo gothic style was built in 1913 by order of Anna Filatova. It is considered that Bulgakov's Margarita smashed the apartment of Latunski right here.
This 6 floor mansion was built only for 6 months, and in the beginning of the 20th century it was a real skyscraper!
From 1992 the house of Filatova is the Actors house. And it has its symbol: 2 knights on the corner tower on the height of the 4th floor. Not many people look so high to mention these fearsome guardians. But they still lean on their swords and watch the people who walk along Arbat.
And this house was a home of Alexander Pushkin! Opposite the house, which is now a museum, there is a sculpture of the poet and his beautiful wife Natalia Goncharova.
It represents the happiest period in Pushkin's life. Right here the young couple spent their honeymoon after the wedding. Pushkin said that he was absolutely happy at this time, and maybe because of that he didn't write a single line!
Now our walk along Old Arbat is over, but there are so many interesting things that wait ahead!

Motion,Pict.2012 - Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky
About Karl Marx. Filmed at his statue in Moscow.
Marx lent his name to an ideology under which a third of humanity lived in the mid twentieth century. Marx took Thomas More's word 'communism' from Utopia. Marx envisaged a utopia of voluntary co-operation. This workers' paradise never came to be. It is difficult to dismiss his critique of capitalism entirely.
The House on Sadovaya Street (trailer)
The House on Sadovaya Street was made at the former flat of Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov. The flat, on Bolshaya Sadovaya in Moscow, was the setting for his masterpiece novel, The Master and Margarita. The novel was not published in the Soviet Union during Bulgakov's lifetime. When it was finally published in parts, during the late 1970s and 80s, it caused a sensation in Russia. The flat, which is in an ordinary block of flats off a main road, became a kind of shrine to the youth, nascent counterculture and artistic dissidents of the Soviet Union. Many young people simply came to the flat just to hang abut in the corridor where the Master had lived. Gradually the walls, floor, ceilings of the building's corridors were covered in graffiti, to the consternation of the residents who occupied the other flats. However this was no ordinary graffiti - almost all of it consisted of quotations and painting of characters from the book , such as the wonderful cat, Behemoth, the devil Woland and his henchmen, and the heroine Margarita.

In the footsteps of Dostoevsky heroes
This is the short video from #walking_tour I have guided for my guests on March 11, 2018. Here we come to the inner yard of the house of the old woman and moneylender Alyona Ivanovna from Crime and Punishment by #Dostoevsky. So this is the place of one of the most world known literature murders. The magic of #Crime_and_Punishment is that imaginary heroes like #Raskolnikov had real addresses in St Petersburg, and you are welcome to visit them!
You will find the description of this walking tour on my web site

THE HOUSE ON SADOVAYA STREET
The House on Sadovaya Street ins the house of Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov. An acclaimed novelist and theatre writer, Bulgakov spent the final years of his life writing a novel that he knew would never be published. This was The Master and Margarita. The novel had a turbulent history. For decades it existed only in hand made samizdat or underground manuscript versions, passed around by the intelligentsia, at risk of their own lives. The novel was highly critical of the Soviet ideas of Stalin's Russia. It was only in 1967 that the novel was published outside of Russia where it immediate influenced the young rock star Mick Jagger to write Sympathy for the Devil. It was finally published in Soviet Russia in 1973, and the final official version in 1989.
The flat the novel is set in, at 50 Bolshaya Sadovaya, became a kind of meeting point for disaffected youth as well as Bulgakov fans after the book was published They left several decades of graffiti on the walls which can be seen in this film.
Not long after I shot this film the building's occupants whitewashed the flat leaivng one or two pieces of important graffiti. Later, in 2003, they eradicated everything.
For me this flat is a tribute to the enduring power of art.
And if you have not read The Master and Margarita, I urge you to do so!
Andrzej Wajda - 'Pilate' - a story from Bulgakov's 'The Master and Margarita' (107/222)
To listen to more of Andrzej Wajda’s stories, go to the playlist:
Polish film director Andrzej Wajda (1926-2016), whose début films portrayed the horror of the German occupation of Poland, won awards at Cannes which established his reputation as storyteller and commentator on Polish history. He also served on the national Senate from 1989-91. [Listener: Jacek Petrycki]
TRANSCRIPT: Perhaps it's very interesting that the source most interested in Polish art, Polish literature, Polish cinema was above all, the Federal Republic of Germany. That's where our films were popular, almost all good and interesting films were shown there in cinemas and on TV. I remember that I went to Cologne to see 'Kanał' in the cinema once the film had been released. I recall that my subsequent films appeared on the German TV station ZDF - Zweites Deutsches Fernsehes who noticed me, so to speak, and proposed that, especially as we had a very energetic person who looked after our interests in the Federal Republic, Mrs Elżbieta Scotti. Elżbieta Scotti arranged for me to make films for German TV. This appealed to me because I thought it would be good if I distanced myself a bit from the passions that surrounded the cinematography, that had been unleashed around my film. The only problem was what sort of film to make. The early hippy years had passed but I still thought that it would be a beautiful subject for a film to bring the figure of Christ into reality as it really was. The hippies' long robes, their way of being, of dressing, their quasi-religious spirit - all of this would suit a film like that. Christ appears today - what does he encounter? How is it that He has to be crucified again, that there is no other option? Two or three Polish authors tried to write me a screenplay, and I tried to talk our well know poet Zbigniew Herbert into writing one, but Herbert was going to America then to teach Polish at some university and decided that he couldn't put his talent at my disposal, if I can put it that way. That's when Bulgakov's book 'The Master and Margarita' appeared and made a profound impression on us all. It was the first time it had been translated into Polish. After I'd read the book, my thoughts revolved around one thing only: how could I transfer to the screen the story about Pilate that the Master in 'The Master and Margarita' had written and which was his work. I have to say I heaved a sigh of relief because no one had written me a better and more absorbing story. Since that story is imposed on reality set in Moscow, making a film in the Soviet Union simply didn't come into the equation. The translators had had great difficulty in translating and publishing this book in Poland so a film was out of the question. However, German TV was open to everything and they accepted my proposal as something perfectly obvious that the story of 'Pilate' would be transferred to German reality. I have to say that I felt good here. Firstly, because the TV had no other interests, no opposition. It wasn't the TV we have today, commercialised like all the others. It was true, artistic TV which had great ideals and great obligations towards its viewers.
Highlights: Mikhail Bulgakov's THE MASTER AND MARGARITA
THE MASTER AND MARGARITA is now playing through March 3 at Constellation Theatre Company! Visit ConstellationTheatre.org for tickets. #CTCMargarita
In the streets of Moscow, Margarita is destined to meet a brilliant writer, the Master of her heart. Meanwhile, the Devil and his demonic crew descend on the city to wreak havoc on the literary elite. When Soviet censors imprison the Master to silence him, Margarita joins forces with the dark side in a courageous effort to save her lover. Supernatural, satirical, and darkly comedic, Mikhail Bulgakov’s celebrated Russian story is a powerful indictment of corrupt government and authoritarian rule.

Russia (Russian: Росси́я, tr. Rossiya, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijə]), officially the Russian Federation (Russian: Росси́йская Федера́ция, tr. Rossiyskaya Federatsiya, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijskəjə fʲɪdʲɪˈratsɨjə]), is a country in Eurasia. At 17,125,200 square kilometres (6,612,100 sq mi), Russia is the largest country in the world by area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area, and the ninth most populous, with about 144.5 million people as of 2018, excluding Crimea. About 77% of the population live in the western, European part of the country. Russia's capital, Moscow, is the largest metropolitan area in Europe proper and one of the largest cities in the world; other major cities include Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Nizhny Novgorod. Extending across the entirety of Northern Asia and much of Eastern Europe, Russia spans eleven time zones and incorporates a wide range of environments and landforms. From northwest to southeast, Russia shares land borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (both with Kaliningrad Oblast), Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and North Korea. It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait. However, Russia recognises two more countries that border it, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, both of which are internationally recognized as parts of Georgia.
The East Slavs emerged as a recognizable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. Founded and ruled by a Varangian warrior elite and their descendants, the medieval state of Rus arose in the 9th century. In 988 it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire, beginning the synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the next millennium. Rus' ultimately disintegrated into a number of smaller states; most of the Rus' lands were overrun by the Mongol invasion and became tributaries of the nomadic Golden Horde in the 13th century. The Grand Duchy of Moscow gradually reunified the surrounding Russian principalities, achieved independence from the Golden Horde. By the 18th century, the nation had greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the Russian Empire, which was the third largest empire in history, stretching from Poland on the west to Alaska on th ...

The East Slavs emerged as a recognizable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. Founded and ruled by a Varangian warrior elite and their descendants, the medieval state of Rus arose in the 9th century. In 988 it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire, beginning the synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the next millennium. Rus' ultimately disintegrated into a number of smaller states; most of the Rus' lands were overrun by the Mongol invasion and became tributaries of the nomadic Golden Horde in the 13th century. The Grand Duchy of Moscow gradually reunified the surrounding Russian principalities, achieved independence from the Golden Horde. By the 18th century, the nation had greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the Russian Empire, which was the third largest empire in history, stretching from Poland on the west to Alaska on the east.Following the Russian Revolution, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic became the largest and leading constituent of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the world's first constitutionally socialist state.

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 Russian Age of Enlightenment was a period in the 18th century in which the government began to actively encourage the proliferation of arts and sciences, which had a profound impact on Russian culture. During this time, the first Russian university was founded, a library, a theatre, a public museum, as well as relatively independent press. Like other enlightened despots, Catherine the Great played a key role in fostering the arts, sciences, and education.
The national Enlightenment in the Russian Empire differed from its Western European counterpart in that it promoted further modernization of all aspects of Russian life and was concerned with abolishing the institution of serfdom in Russia. The Pugachev Rebellion and French Revolution may have shattered the illusions of rapid political change, but the intellectual climate in Russia was altered irrevocably. Russia's place in the world was debated by Denis Fonvizin, Mikhail Shcherbatov, Andrey Bolotov, Ivan Boltin, and Alexander Radishchev; these discussions precipitated the divide between the radical, western, conservative and Slavophile traditions of Russian thought. Intellectuals often used the term prosveshchenie, promoting piety, erudition, and commitment to the spread of learning.
