Volgograd Arena - Mamayev Kurgan walk [4k]
Walk from FIFA World Cup 2018 Stadium - Volgograd Arena to memorial complex Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd city. This is one of the most sad and at the same time memorable places in Russia, where you are pierced by all the sorrow that the Soviet people experienced in World War II.
To find on Google Maps:
Mamayev Kurgan (Russian: Мамаев курган) is a dominant height overlooking the city of Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) in Southern Russia. The name in Russian means tumulus of Mamai. The formation is dominated by a memorial complex commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 to February 1943). The battle, a hard-fought Soviet victory over Axis forces on the Eastern front of World War II, turned into one of the bloodiest battles in human history. At the time of its installation in 1967 the statue named The Motherland Calls on Mamayev Kurgan formed the largest free-standing sculpture in the world; as of 2018 it is the tallest sculpture of a woman in the world
When forces of the German Sixth Army launched their attack against the city centre of Stalingrad on 13 September 1942, Mamayev Kurgan (appearing in military maps as Height 102.0) saw particularly fierce fighting between the German attackers and the defending soldiers of the Soviet 62nd Army. Control of the hill became vitally important, as it offered control over the city. To defend it, the Soviets had built strong defensive lines on the slopes of the hill, composed of trenches, barbed-wire and minefields. The Germans pushed forward against the hill, taking heavy casualties. When they finally captured the hill, they started firing on the city centre, as well as on the city's main railway station under the hill. They captured the Volgograd railway station on 14 September 1942.
On the same day, the Soviet 13th Guards Rifle Division commanded by Alexander Rodimtsev arrived in the city from the east side of the river Volga under heavy German artillery fire. The division's 10,000 men immediately rushed into the battle. On 16 September they recaptured Mamayev Kurgan and kept fighting for the railway station, taking heavy losses. By the following day, almost all of them had died. The Soviets kept reinforcing their units in the city as fast as they could. The Germans assaulted up to twelve times a day, and the Soviets would respond with fierce counter-attacks.
The hill changed hands several times. By 27 September, the Germans again captured half of Mamayev Kurgan. The Soviets held their own positions on the slopes of the hill, as the 284th Rifle Division defended the key stronghold. The defenders held out until 26 January 1943, when the counterattacking Soviet forces relieved them. The battle of the city ended one week later with an utter German defeat.
When the battle ended, the soil on the hill had been so thoroughly churned by shellfire and mixed with metal fragments that it contained between 500 and 1,250 splinters of metal per square meter. The earth on the hill had remained black in the winter, as the snow kept melting in the many fires and explosions. In the following spring the hill would still remain black, as no grass grew on its scorched soil. The hill's formerly steep slopes had become flattened in months of intense shelling and bombardment. Even today, it is possible to find fragments of bone and metal still buried deep throughout the hill.
After the war, the Soviet authorities commissioned the enormous Mamayev Kurgan memorial complex. Vasily Chuikov, who led Soviet forces at Stalingrad, lies buried at Mamayev Kurgan, the first Marshal of the Soviet Union to be buried outside Moscow. Soviet sniper Vasily Zaytsev was also reburied there in 2006.
The monumental memorial was constructed between 1959 and 1967, and is crowned by a huge allegorical statue of the Motherland on the top of the hill. The monument, designed by Yevgeny Vuchetich, has the full name The Motherland Calls! (Russian: Родина-мать зовёт! Rodina Mat Zovyot!). It consists of a concrete sculpture, 52 metres tall, and 85 metres from the feet to the tip of the 27-metre sword, dominating the skyline of the city of Stalingrad (later renamed Volgograd).

Lenin - The reimagining of a Russian revolutionary
(16 Aug 2019) LEAD IN
The former Communist dictator and revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin was the architect of the Soviet Union.
Now an exhibition in Russia shows how local artists are grappling with his legacy of political repression and mass killings.
STORY-LINE:
In Russia there are few faces better known than that of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov - or Lenin.
But for all that familiarity, few Russians have seen Lenin like this.
Here at this exhibition in Yekaterinburg, Lenin's face - once depicted throughout the former Soviet Union as part of a cult of personality - is being re-imagined.
There's Lenin as Pharaoh, Lenin as the French Sun King, and even Lenin as a craggy-faced part of the landscape.
In this work, the former Marxist revolutionary is re-imagined as Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator.
Sergey Martynaov of Yekaterinburg's Antimuseum of Computers and Games explains the how the image came about:
Our Lenin is a cyber-Lenin, he says.
The idea is about combining history and technology. Lenin is still not buried - he is in a mausoleum. So we explored ideas of eternal life and biotechnology in our work by representing Lenin as a cyber-machine, a kind of Terminator, one who's still alive and will stay alive.
For this exhibition, which is being shown at the Museum of Soviet Life in Yekaterinburg, a city of 1.5 million people east of the Urals, artists were given free rein.
They were invited to explore Lenin's legacy from many perspectives.
The final products are an invitation to locals to reflect.
Such personalities as Vladimir Ilyich, who changed the course of history, they have very strong energy. Such personalities will not be forgotten, and will attract attention for many many years, says Martynaov.
In her work, artist Irina Podkorytova reflects on the Soviet cult of personality that sprung up during Lenin's life and endured well after his death.
With this bust, she draws a comparison with the myths surrounding the French Sun King, Louis XIV.
The bust stands aside two small bottles of French perfume.
He is a dictator who tore Russia apart, millions and millions of people were killed, millions left their motherland, and all his French perfumes in the form of (nice stories about) Lenin in Gorki, Lenin with children, Lenin with peasants, that will not be able to drown out that bad smell from his deeds. He is a dictator, this is our history, that's how it is, Podkorytova says.
Here in his workshop, Yekaterinburg artist Ivan Mikheev is tackling the subject using a new medium for him.
Mikheev's signature style is post-apocalyptic, or gothic.
But in this work, he depicts the former Soviet leader as a craggy rock face - a part of the landscape of Russia's 20th century history.
Lenin here is a part of history, and in this case, in this work as part of nature already, in which we live taking it for granted, not even thinking this is that very man who laid a powerful foundation for our lives, he explains.
Artist Anastasia Postnikova focuses on how traces of the former Soviet Union that Lenin helped to build are still felt today.
Her Lenin bust sits behind barbed wire.
She is using the work to make a comment on her childhood, spent in a closed city in Russia's Sverdlovsk region, 70 kilometres north of Yekaterinburg.
For some of the other 12 artists who've made contributions, the preoccupation is how much things have changed since Lenin's time.
Marina Kozlachkova is using Lenin's bust as a canvas to paint in her favourite colours - green and orange.

SUMMARY
=======
The Russian Revolution was a pair of revolutions in Russia in 1917 which dismantled the Tsarist autocracy and led to the rise of the Soviet Union. The Russian Empire collapsed with the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II and the old regime was replaced by a provisional government during the first revolution of February 1917 (March in the Gregorian calendar; the older Julian calendar was in use in Russia at the time). Alongside it arose grassroots community assemblies (called 'soviets') which contended for authority. In the second revolution that October, the Provisional Government was toppled and all power was given to the soviets.
The February Revolution (March 1917) was a revolution focused around Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg), the capital of Russia at that time. In the chaos, members of the Imperial parliament (the Duma) assumed control of the country, forming the Russian Provisional Government which was heavily dominated by the interests of large capitalists and the noble aristocracy. The army leadership felt they did not have the means to suppress the revolution, resulting in Nicholas's abdication. The soviets, which were dominated by soldiers and the urban industrial working class, initially permitted the Provisional Government to rule, but insisted on a prerogative to influence the government and control various militias. The February Revolution took place in the context of heavy military setbacks during the First World War (1914–18), which left much of the Russian Army in a state of mutiny.
A period of dual power ensued, during which the Provisional Government held state power while the national network of soviets, led by socialists, had the allegiance of the lower classes and, increasingly, the left-leaning urban middle class. During this chaotic period there were frequent mutinies, protests and many strikes. Many socialist political organizations were engaged in daily struggle and vied for influence within the Duma and the soviets, central among which were the Bolsheviks (Ones of the Majority) led by Vladimir Lenin who campaigned for an immediate end to the war, land to the peasants, and bread to the workers. When the Provisional Government chose to continue fighting the war with Germany, the Bolsheviks and other socialist factions were able to exploit virtually universal disdain towards the war effort as justification to advance the revolution further. The Bolsheviks turned workers' militias under their control into the Red Guards (later the Red Army) over which they exerted substantial control.In the October Revolution (November in the Gregorian calendar), the Bolsheviks led an armed insurrection by workers and soldiers in Petrograd that successfully overthrew the Provisional Government, transferring all its authority to the soviets with the capital being relocated to Moscow shortly thereafter. The Bolsheviks had secured a strong base of support within the soviets and, as the now supreme governing party, established a federal government dedicated to reorganizing the former empire into the world's first socialist republic, practicing soviet democracy on a national and international scale. The promise to end Russia's participation in the First World War was honored promptly with the Bolshevik leaders signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany in March 1918. To further secure the new state, the Cheka was established which functioned as a revolutionary security service that sought to weed out and punish those considered to be enemies of the people in campaigns consciously modeled on similar events during the French Revolution.
Soon after, civil war erupted among the Reds (Bolsheviks), the Whites (counter-revolutionaries), the independence movements and the non-Bolshevik socialists. It continued for several years, during which the Bolsheviks defeated both the Whites and all rival socialists and thereafter reconstituted themselves a ...

''The War On Putin'' Documentary [full]
Ever wondered why the Western media and its allies constantly demonize Russia and Vladimir Putin? This documentary may answer some of those questions.
This documentary takes a look into the Russian prospective of the events which have occurred between NATO and Russia over recent years, and the impending danger of global conflict which has been brewing as a result of U.S. hegemony and its aggression towards sovereign states.
The Zionist-controlled United States continues to poke the Russian bear as Russia is refusing to give up its sovereignty and capitulate to the desires of the international banking elites whom have now gained full control of both the EU and NATO-membered countries. As a result, using their media, money, power, influence and paid-off governments; the world is now on the brink of a thermonuclear conflict with Russia and the BRICS nations.

During this chaotic period there were frequent mutinies, protests and many strikes. Many socialist political organizations were engaged in daily struggle and vied for influence within the Duma and the soviets, central among which were the Bolsheviks (Ones of the Majority) led by Vladimir Lenin who campaigned for an immediate end to the war, land to the peasants, and bread to the workers. When the Provisional Government chose to continue fighting the war with Germany, the Bolsheviks and other socialist factions were able to exploit virtually universal disdain towards the war effort as justification to advance the revolution further. The Bolsheviks turned workers' militias under their control into the Red Guards (later the Red Army) over which they exerted substantial control.In the October Revolution (November in the Gregorian calendar), the Bolsheviks led an armed insurrection by workers and soldiers in Petrograd that successfully overthrew the Provisional Government, transferring all its authority to the soviets with the capital being relocated to Moscow shortly thereafter. The Bolsheviks had secured a strong base of support within the soviets and, as the now supreme governing party, established a federal government dedicated to reorganizing the former empire into the world's first socialist republic, practicing soviet democracy on a national and international scale. The promise to end Russia's participation in the First World War was honored promptly with the Bolshevik leaders signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany in March 1918. To further secure the new state, the Cheka was established which functioned as a revolutionary security service that sought to weed out and punish those considered to be enemies of the people in campaigns consciously modeled on similar events during the French Revolution.
Soon after, civil war erupted among the Reds (Bolsheviks), the Whites (counter-revolutionaries), the independence movements and the non-Bolshevik socialists. It continued for several years, during which the Bolsheviks defeated both the Whites and all rival socialists and thereafter reconstituted themselves as the Communist Party. In this way, the Revoluti ...
Russian politician Zhirinovsky funny interview (English subs)
FOR SUBTITLES TURN CAPTIONS (CC) ON.
RECOMMENDED to read the introduction of the description.
This video is an interview of Zhirinovsky at newspaper and radio station ''Komsomolskaya pravda''.
This is one of the funniest Zhirinovsky's interview. Mainly because of the fragment of this interview where he spoke about various topical subjects. He actually speaks his mind here, and even uses some inappropriate language. I think, he don't actually care, but it's funny.
2 main subjects of this interview are situation in Syria, and elections for Moscow mayor. He gives his evaluation about them, of course. He also speaks about immigrants problem, and some other subjects.
So have fun, and have a few laughs.

Remarks:
1. In Russia we have an expression, ''these was only flowers, berries will come later''. That means it's like you didn't see anything yet, this was not a big deal, the main events, the real thing will come later.
2. He mentions some unknown politicians, so I addjusted their names so you can easily find it in Google and see their faces or read about them (not that anyone would want to, but just in case).
3. In Russian word ''apple'' is ''yа́bloko''. The party's name is suppose to be YaBL, and if you switch some letters places, it would be ''blyа́'', which doesn't exactly mean ''fuck'', but it's the closest.
4. Alе́shka is diminutive for Alexei. Usually kids are called like this.
5. If you are curious this is the song (1996):
Олег Газманов / Oleg Gazmanov - Москва / Moskau
This is its Youtube name.
6. Poetry:
Eng: Alexander Sergeievich Pushkin - Moscow... what surge that sound can start In every Russian's inmost heart!
Rus: Александр Сергеевич Пушкин - Москва! Как много в этом звуке...
(1823 - 1831)
7. Desemberers are called the people who organized, initiated and participated in revolution in, at that time, Russian Empire on Desember 1905.
8. In Russian, the words ''strange'' and ''shitty'' are very similar. They sound like this: strange - strа́nniy, shitty - srа́niy.
9. Also, the word ''old'' souds kinda similar to ''shitty'' as well - stа́riy.
10. ''Dad'' or ''daddy'' is how people calling Lukashenko in Russian speaking countries. I guess because he is strict like a father can be sometimes.
Thanks for watching!
FOR TROLLS: Go to hell.
