At the Konstantin Tsiolkovsky State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics
During our recent satellite festival in Cradle of Cosmonautics Kaluga, Russia, we took out a little time to explore its Yuri Gagarin-founded space museum. So here's your chance to see inside the soviet space program.
Museum Cosmonaut Moscow - Rusia
Museum ini merekam jejak Uni Soviet dan Rusia dalam pengembangan teknologi eksplorasi ruang angkasa, khususnya pada zaman perang dingin dimana perlombaan dengan Amerika Serikat tengah terjadi. Barang yang dipamerkan sangat nyata dan edukatif, tetapi sayangnya tidak disertai dengan bahasa Inggris yang memadai.
Ketika pertama kali ke sini yang pertama terlihat dari halamannya adalah tugu yang menjulang ke langit. Ketika masuk ke dalam ruang pameran museum, yang paling menarik perhatian adalah patung besar Yuri Gagarin, orang yang pertama kali ke luar angkasa. Di museum ini juga terdapat awetan anjing pertama yang ke luar angkasa, Belka dan Strelka. Banyak kolek si yang cukup menarik di museum ini, mulai dari miniatur pesawat ulang-alik, capsul yang digunakan oleh Yuri Gagarin ketika melakukan penjelajahan, ruang kontrol, berbagai miniatur penjelajahan luar angkasa hingga batu meteor dan pasir dari bulan.
Soviet government initiates founding of the Museum of Cosmonautics at the foot of the Monument to the Conquerors of Space to commemorate nation’s achievements in space exploration.
The Museum of Cosmonautics opens its doors to public on April 10th, 1981, 20th Anniversary of the first manned space flight.
Museum exposition gives a retrospect on how Soviet space science evolved starting from first man-made satellites subsequently followed by the first manned space flight, first space walks, Moon exploration programs, Solar system exploration programs and international space research programs. Intricate interior design and unusual exposition altogether created a unique individuality of the Museum. However, new times set new standards. 25 years since its first opening the Museum has been closed down for a massive renovation. Now the Museum shows all the newly accumulated information and latest technologies.

RUSSIA: MOSCOW: MUTED MAY DAY CELEBRATIONS
(1 May 2000) Russian/Nat
Small parades of trade unionists and Communists have marched in muted and chilly May Day celebrations in Moscow and across the former Soviet Union.
But the celebration of international workers' solidarity was a pale echo of Soviet-era celebrations with their massive government-organised parades past Kremlin leaders atop Lenin's tomb on Red Square.
Most Russians, who grow much of their own food, used the holiday to plant seedlings at their suburban cottages.
Thousands of Muscovites, battling unseasonably cold weather, joined marches through the Russian capital on Monday to mark the traditional May Day holiday.
This year, May Day competed for public attention with Orthodox Easter Sunday, which fell the day before.
Patriarch Alexy II, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, celebrated Easter week services on Monday in one of the cathedrals in the Kremlin.
As a result, the number of marchers taking part was less than expected.
In all, some 15-thousand people joined a trade union march under blue union banners fluttering in a near-freezing breeze along Tverskaya Ulitsa, a main thoroughfare leading to city hall.
The members and supporters of the Moscow Federation of Trade Unions - traditionally centrist rather than left-wing - were addressed by mayor Yury Luzhkov outside the city hall.
With the favourite target of past Communist parades, former President Boris Yeltsin, in retirement, slogans tended toward demands for higher social benefits and minimum wages.
President Vladimir Putin, elected on March 26, enjoys widespread support, and many Communists appear ready to work with him.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
People always believe and hope, and we think that our hope will coincide with the choice that the people made when they elected Putin president.
SUPER CAPTION: Vladimir Naumov, Marcher
Separately, Communists and other left-wing groups paraded with red Soviet flags, marching past a towering statue of Lenin on Kaluga Square in central Moscow.
Police put the number of Communist marchers at seven-thousand.
The marchers were led by party leader Gennady Zyuganov, who told the crowd that - unlike foreign institutions - the communists and other left-wing movements could improve conditions for the people of Russia.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
While Russia is being damaged on the international scene, its markets are being restricted. The IMF keeps on interfering in the internal affairs of our country.
SUPER CAPTION: Gennady Zyuganov, Communist Party Leader
In Soviet times, the May Day holiday one was one of the main events on the Communist calendar.
Demonstrators used to march through the city centre and across Red Square, where the Communist hierarchy greeted the columns from atop Lenin's mausoleum.
But - despite the end of the Soviet Union and dwindling numbers of marchers - some of those taking part in the celebrations on Monday thought May Day was as relevant now as it was then.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Today, this holiday is more current than ever, because people are so poor and have their backs against the wall, such that it could end catastrophically for the oligarchs very soon.
SUPER CAPTION: Mikhail, Marcher
Moscow wasn't the only city where May Day was celebrated.
Trade union officials said several thousand people marched in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Vladivostok in the Far East, Novosibirsk and Yakutsk in Siberia and a half-dozen other cities.
Marchers in the Siberian town of Kemerovo walked through a thin coating of wet snow.
Celebrations were muted in the former Soviet republic of Belarus, with leaders of left-wing parties laying flowers
at a monument to Lenin.

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
=======
Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin (Russian: Ю́рий Алексе́евич Гага́рин, IPA: [ˈjʉrʲɪj ɐlʲɪˈksʲejɪvʲɪtɕ ɡɐˈɡarʲɪn]; 9 March 1934 – 27 March 1968) was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut. He became the first human to journey into outer space when his Vostok spacecraft completed one orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961.
Gagarin became an international celebrity and was awarded many medals and titles, including Hero of the Soviet Union, his nation's highest honour. Vostok 1 was his only spaceflight, but he served as the backup crew to the Soyuz 1 mission, which ended in a fatal crash. Gagarin later served as the deputy training director of the Cosmonaut Training Centre outside Moscow, which was subsequently named after him. Gagarin died in 1968 when the MiG-15 training jet he was piloting crashed. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale awards the Yuri A. Gagarin Gold Medal in his honour.

SUMMARY
=======
Moscow (; Russian: Москва́, tr. Moskvá, IPA: [mɐˈskva] (listen)) is the capital and most populous city of Russia, with 13.2 million residents within the city limits and 17 million within the urban area. Moscow is one of Russia's federal cities.
Moscow is a major political, economic, cultural, and scientific centre of Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as the largest city (both by population and by area) entirely on the European continent. By broader definitions Moscow is among the world's largest cities, being the 14th largest metro area, the 18th largest agglomeration, the 14th largest urban area, and the 11th largest by population within city limits worldwide. According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has been ranked as the ninth most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the world's largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is also one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world according to the MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index.
Moscow is the northernmost and coldest megacity and metropolis on Earth. It is home to the Ostankino Tower, the tallest free standing structure in Europe; the Federation Tower, the second-tallest skyscraper in Europe; and the Moscow International Business Center. By its territorial expansion on July 1 2012 southwest into the Moscow Oblast, the area of the capital more than doubled, going from 1,091 to 2,511 square kilometers (421 to 970 sq mi), resulting in Moscow becoming the largest city on the European continent by area; it also gained an additional population of 233,000 people.Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, making it Europe's most populated inland city. The city is well known for its architecture, particularly its historic buildings such as Saint Basil's Cathedral with its colourful architectural style. With over 40 percent of its territory covered by greenery, it is one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world, having the largest forest in an urban area within its borders—more than any other major city—even before its expansion in 2012.
The city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and the subsequent Tsardom of Russia to the Russian Empire to the Soviet Union and the contemporary Russian Federation.
Moscow is the seat of power of the Government of Russia, being the site of the Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is today the residence for work of the President of Russia. The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament (the State Duma and the Federation Council) also sit in the city. Moscow is considered the centre of Russian culture, having served as the home of Russian artists, scientists and sports figures and because of the presence of museums, academic and political institutions and theatres.
The city is served by a transit network, which includes four international airports, nine railway terminals, numerous trams, a monorail system and one of the deepest underground rapid transit systems in the world, the Moscow Metro, the fourth-largest in the world and largest outside Asia in terms of passenger numbers, and the busiest in Europe. It is recognised as one of the city's landmarks due to the rich architecture of its 200 stations.Moscow has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The Third Rome (Третий Рим), the Whitestone One (Белокаменная), the First Throne (Первопрестольная), the Forty Soroks (Сорок Сороков) (sorok meaning both forty, a great many and a district or parish in Old Russian).
Moscow is also one of the twelve Hero Cities. The demonym for a Moscow res ...

SUMMARY

Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky (Russian: Константин Эдуардович Циолковский, IPA: [kənstɐnˈtʲin ɪdʊˈardəvʲɪtɕ tsɨɐlˈkofskʲɪj] (listen);
Polish: Konstanty Edward Ciołkowski
17 September [O.S. 5 September] 1857
– 19 September 1935)
was a Russian rocket scientist and pioneer of astronautics. Along with the French Robert Esnault-Pelterie, the German Hermann Oberth and the American Robert H. Goddard, he is considered to be one of the founding fathers of modern rocketry and astronautics. His works later inspired leading Soviet rocket engineers such as Sergei Korolev and Valentin Glushko and contributed to the success of the Soviet space program.
Tsiolkovsky spent most of his life in a log house on the outskirts of Kaluga, about 200 km (120 mi) southwest of Moscow. A recluse by nature, his unusual habits made him seem bizarre to his fellow townsfolk.
SMOLENSK,V.2: WARS, MARAUDERS AND CHURCH (Travelling around Russia,p.2)
When travelling around Russia, one can never guess what might be found, be it a curious monument, an ancient ruin or a freshly looking Lenin! That’s what I like most about my adventures, actually. That, and the fact that wherever I go, I get to taste some delicious food - that’s a nice bonus, I reckon.
What is your favourite thing about traveling? I’d really like to hear from you!
