Bishkek- Capital of Kyrgyzstan Part 4
Welcome to my travelchannel. ☛☛☞☛
On my channel you can find more than 1000 films of almost 80 countries. See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Bishkek-Kyrgyzstan
Bishkek is the capital of Kyrgyzstan, and has a population of about one million people. Bishkek is located in the Chuy Valley, at the northern edge of the Kyrgyz Ala-Too Range, at about 800 m (2,625 feet) above sea level.
The first mention of Bishkek was the fortress of Pishpek, constructed in 1825 by the Khanate of Kokand. Pishpek was built to protect caravan routes carrying goods between Tashkent and Lake Issyk-Kul, across the Chuy Valley. After a battle between Russian imperial troops and the Khanate of Kokand in 1860, the fort was destroyed and the area became the edge of the Russian Empire. In 1897, the population of Pishpek was a total of 6,600 people, and rather than being a city, was more like a dusty village of mud houses.
Under Soviet rule, the city developed rapidly. In 1925, Pishpek became the capital of the Kara-Kirghiz Autonomous Oblast, the precursor of today’s Kyrgyzstan. In 1926, Pishpek became Frunze, named after the revolutionary and military leader Mikhail Frunze, who was born there. Frunze can still be seen in the city’s airport code - FRU. In 1991, the city was renamed once again, to Bishkek. According to experts, “bishkek” is the stick used for churning mare’s milk for the traditional fermented drink, kumis.
Today, Bishkek is one of the major cities of Central Asia, and is the largest city in Kyrgyzstan. The population numbers over one million, with over 80 nationalities represented. The main language of international communication is Russian, but Kyrgyz and English are very widespread.
Sights Overview
There are several major museums in Bishkek, the most interesting of which are the Historical Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Frunze House Museum. Check out performances by the Opera and Ballet Theater, the Russian and Kyrgyz Drama Theaters, the Bishkek City Drama Theater, and the State Philharmonic. There are also a number of venues where pop musicians play, as well as art exhibitions, music festivals, and plenty of interesting events.
There are plenty of places that showcase Bishkek’s unique history. There are several monuments to Soviet architecture in the city center, including Ala-Too Square, the Historical Museum, Philharmonia, and several monuments, such as a Monument to the Red Guards and a Monument to the Martyrs of the Revolution. Check out other newer monuments to Manas, manaschy (those who recite the Epic of Manas), and to those killed by government violence in 2002 and 2010. Bishkek is also famous for being one of the greenest cities in Central Asia, with Oak Park, Erkindik Boulevard, and Panfilov Park being popular destinations in the summer.

SUMMARY
=======
The KGB (Russian: Комите́т Госуда́рственной Безопа́сности (КГБ), tr. Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti, IPA: [kəmʲɪˈtʲet ɡəsʊˈdarstvʲɪnːəj bʲɪzɐˈpasnəsʲtʲɪ] (listen)), translated in English as Committee for State Security, was the main security agency for the Soviet Union from 1954 until its break-up in 1991. As a direct successor of preceding agencies such as Cheka, NKGB, NKVD and MGB, the committee was attached to the Council of Ministers. It was the chief government agency of union-republican jurisdiction, acting as internal security, intelligence and secret police. Similar agencies were constituted in each of the republics of the Soviet Union aside from Russia, and consisted of many ministries, state committees and state commissions.
The agency was a military service governed by army laws and regulations, in the same fashion as the Soviet Army or MVD Internal Troops. While most of the KGB archives remain classified, two online documentary sources are available. Its main functions were foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence, operative-investigatory activities, guarding the State Border of the USSR, guarding the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Soviet Government, organization and ensuring of government communications as well as combating nationalism, dissent, and anti-Soviet activities.
In 1991, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the KGB was split into the Federal Security Service and the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation.
After breaking away from Georgia in the early 1990s with Russian help, the self-proclaimed Republic of South Ossetia established its own KGB (keeping this unreformed name).
PAN AM AIRLINES USSR SOVIET UNION COLD WAR TRAVELOGUE 42344
USSR is a promotional film from Pan American World Airways, produced and directed by Henry Strauss (most likely in the late 1960s), that encourages tourism to the Soviet Union by taking viewers on a visual tour of a number of the republics and their cities. The film opens with footage of Moscow’s Red Square as the narrator recaps the famous rulers, writers, and musicians from the Russia’s past. The size of the USSR, with its diverse climate and people, make it a destination unlike any other. The tour begins in Kiev, with the Pechersk Monastery (03:15), also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, which features catacombs that are over 800 years old. Other highlights of Kiev include Sophiyska Square and its Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitsky Monument (03:38), Saint Sophia’s Cathedral (03:44), Kiev’s city skyline (04:01), and a bridge over the Dnieper River (04:08). In the east of the Soviet Union is the ancient city of Tashkent; the Uzbek republic is predominantly Muslim, and worshipers pray on the streets of Tashkent (04:20). Tashkent’s Old Quarter (05:35) is a great place to visit, but the modern areas of the city (06:00) have their own treasures, such as the Navoi Opera Theater (06:14). The next stop is Moscow, where the famed Red Square separates several of the country’s top highlights, like the Kremlin (06:18), St. Basil’s Cathedral (07:01) and its square (06:42). The city of Riga features old-but-aesthetic buildings (07:30), but more ornate buildings are found in Leningrad (08:18). Formally known as St. Petersburg (08:01), this city is home to the Russian Museum (08:24), the Hermitage Museum (08:32)—which features works from da Vinci, El Greco, van Gogh, Matisse, Renoir, and Picasso—and the Winter Palace (09:08) filled with the riches of the Romanovs. Viewers see scenes of streets, train stations, and children before the film returns to Uzbekistan, where children learn traditional dances (11:48) and men harvest cotton from the Fergana Valley (12:48). Farming is a primary industry in the soil-rich Don Valley (13:30) of Ukraine. Ukraine’s Chernozem, its famous black earth, is excellent for cultivating wheat and other crops. Collective farms (13:56) are common throughout the region, and members of the collectives go to the main cities to sell their harvests. Bustling food and flower markets (15:50) are a staple of the Soviet Union. The people here enjoy passing time in the various public gardens (16:25), but arguably their favorite pastime is vacationing to the Black Sea (17:20). Odessa (16:30), Yalta (18:05), and Sochi highlight the Soviet Riviera, where locals and visitors can relax on the beaches or keep busy with watersports and the offerings of the coastal cities. The film’s next stop is Tbilisi (20:43), the capitol of the Georgian republic. Rustaveli Ave (20:49), named after the famous poet, is the main throughfare of the city. Streets of the Old City (21:37) and Metekhi Castle overlooking the Mtkavri River (22:01) are just two of many places to visit in Tbilisi. The U.S.S.R. is a land of great rivers, and the film provides footage of a number of them (22:25). A boatride down the Neva River leads to Petergof (23:08), former home of the gardens of the Czars that are now public gardens (23:16), featuring an extraordinary number of fountains. A shot of Moscow from the Moskva River (24:26) takes viewers back to Moscow, home to Moscow State University (25:12) and the Bolshoi Theatre (26:04). Gorky Street and Moscow at night (27:00) provide endless entertainment; restaurants, theatres, a Bolshoi Theatre performance (27:25), movies, and the circus (28:08). Gorky Park (28:58), Moscow’s park of culture and leisure, features games and food, a favorite for locals. The film shows a national parade (29:35) in Moscow’s Red Square in November, featuring representatives from all the republics of the U.S.S.R. The final montage sequence of the film includes people strolling around Red Square, playing cards, spending an afternoon at a café, and scenery from earlier in the film.

SUMMARY
=======
The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes that connected the East and West. It was central to cultural interaction between the regions for many centuries. The Silk Road refers to both the terrestrial and the maritime routes connecting East Asia and Southeast Asia with East Africa, West Asia and Southern Europe.
The Silk Road derives its name from the lucrative trade in silk carried out along its length, beginning in the Han dynasty (207 BCE–220 CE). The Han dynasty expanded the Central Asian section of the trade routes around 114 BCE through the missions and explorations of the Chinese imperial envoy Zhang Qian. The Chinese took great interest in the safety of their trade products and extended the Great Wall of China to ensure the protection of the trade route.Trade on the Road played a significant role in the development of the civilizations of China, Korea, Japan, India, Iran, Afghanistan, Europe, the Horn of Africa and Arabia, opening long-distance political and economic relations between the civilizations. Though silk was the major trade item exported from China, many other goods were traded, as well as religions, syncretic philosophies, sciences, and technologies. Diseases, most notably plague, also spread along the Silk Road. In addition to economic trade, the Silk Road was a route for cultural trade among the civilizations along its network.Traders in ancient history included the Bactrians, Sogdians, Syrians, Jews, Arabs, Iranians, Turkmens, Chinese, Malays, Indians, Somalis, Greeks, Romans, Georgians, Armenians, and Azerbaijanis.In June 2014, UNESCO designated the Chang'an-Tianshan corridor of the Silk Road as a World Heritage Site.

Bohdan Soroka (1940-2015) Retrospective Art Exhibit
Bohdan Soroka (1940-2015) Retrospective Art Exhibit.
Many themes are presented in the artist’s works including Ukrainian religious and cultural traditions, history and folklore. The exhibit will showcase the artist’s most recent graphic series including Ukrainian traditions, Christmas (including Vertep – a travelling nativity scene drama), Angels and Music, Musicians, The Four Seasons, and Ukrainian Wooden Churches. Bohdan Soroka’s work in graphic arts is readily recognized by its rather expressionistic style and very imaginative pictorial representations. He was a talented artist, one who was able to communicate strongly through his art. His prowess was in his ability to speak to the viewer directly and clearly through the images he put on paper.

Dr. James A. Grymes, interim chair of the UNC Charlotte Department of Music, reads from his new book, Violins of Hope: Instruments of Hope and Liberation in Mankind’s Darkest Hour, with performances of related music throughout the evening. A book signing and reception will follow.
Violins of Hope tells the remarkable stories of violins played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust and recovered and restored by Israeli violinmaker Amnon Weinstein. The book has recently been published by HarperCollins and is receiving critical praise. Academy Award-winning composer John Williams wrote, “'Violins of Hope' is a work of research and scholarship that forms one of the most moving chronicles in the history of Western music. James A. Grymes has earned our plaudits and praise, and deserves our everlasting gratitude.”

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.
