Christ Cathedral. Panoramic video. Ryazan 360.
The Nativity Cathedral of the Ryazan Kremlin (formerly, the Assumption Cathedral) is the Orthodox cathedral of Ryazan. Along with the Assumption Cathedral - one of the two main temples of the Ryazan metropolis. It is the first stone building on the territory of the Ryazan Kremlin, and one of the oldest preserved buildings of the Ryazan Region.
It was founded in the late 14th century by the Grand Duke Oleg Ryazansky in the territory of his court and was consecrated as the Assumption Cathedral. When the episcopal chair was moved from Borisov-Glebov to the Kremlin in 1522, the cathedral became a cathedral. After the construction of the new building of the Assumption Cathedral, it was consecrated as Khristorozhdestvensky.

The Life And Death Of Yury of Moscow
Yuriy Danilovich, also known as Georgiy Danilovich (Юрий Данилович in Russian) (1281 – November 21, 1325) was Prince of Moscow (1303–1325) and Grand Prince of Vladimir (from 1318).
Yury was the oldest son of Daniel, the first prince of Moscow. His first official action was to defend Pereslavl-Zalessky against Grand Duke Andrew III. Upon Andrew's death the next year, Yury had to contend the title of Grand Duke of Vladimir with Mikhail of Tver. While the Tverian army besieged Pereslavl and Moscow itself, Mikhail went to the Golden Horde, where the Khan elevated him to the supreme position among Russian princes.
In the meantime, Yury arranged the murder of Prince Konstantin of Ryazan. This unlucky ruler had been captured by Yury's father back in 1302 and had been incarcerated in Moscow since then. While Ryazan was shocked by such a barbarity, Yury annexed the key Ryazanian fortress of Kolomna to Moscow Duchy. He also captured Mozhaisk, which formerly belonged to the princes of Smolensk. By 1314, Yury secured backing from the Metropolitan Peter and formed an alliance with Novgorod against Tver. Now, he felt strong enough to challenge Mikhail of Tver in the Horde.
In 1315 Yury went to the Golden Horde and, after spending two years there, constructed an alliance with Uzbeg Khan. Upon Yury's marriage to the khan's sister Konchaka, Uzbeg Khan deposed Mikhail and nominated Yury as the Grand Duke of Vladimir. Back in Russia with a large force of Mongols, Yury approached Tver. However, Yuri's army was defeated and his brother Boris and his wife were taken prisoners. Thereupon he fled to Novgorod and sued for peace. At that time his wife, still held in Tver as a hostage, died unexpectedly. Yury availed himself of the confusion that followed and announced to the khan that she had been poisoned on Mikhail's order. The khan summoned both princes to Sarai and, after a trial, had Mikhail executed.
Yury returned to Russia, hated by other princes and populace alike, in 1319. He was now entrusted with the task of gathering all-Russian tribute to the Horde. But Mikhail's son and successor, Dmitry the Terrible Eyes, still opposed him. In 1322, Dmitry, seeking revenge for his father's murder, went to Sarai and persuaded the khan that Yury had appropriated a large portion of the tribute due to the Horde. Yury was summoned to the Horde for a trial but, before any formal investigation, was killed by Dmitry. Eight months later, Dmitry was also executed in the Horde.
Shortly before his death, Yury led the army of Novgorod to fight the Swedes and founded a fort in the mouth of the Neva River. Upon signing the Treaty of Orekhovo in 1323, Yury continued eastward and conquered Velikiy Ustyug the same year.
The Life And Death Of Daniel of Moscow
Daniil Aleksandrovich (Даниил Александрович in Russian) (1261 – 4 March 1303) was the youngest son of Alexander Nevsky and forefather of all the Grand Princes of Moscow.
Prince Daniel of Moscow was the fourth and youngest son of Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky—famous in the history of the Russian State and the Russian Orthodox Church— and his second wife, Princess Vassa. Daniel was born in 1261 in Vladimir, the capital of the Great Vladimir-Suzdal principality. One of the most junior princes in the House of Rurik, Daniel is thought to have been named after his celebrated relative, Daniel of Galicia.
His father died when he was only two years old. Of his father's patrimonies, he received the least valuable, Moscow. When he was a child, the tiny principality was being governed by tiuns (deputies), appointed by his paternal uncle, Grand Prince Yaroslav III.
Daniel took part in his brothers'—Dmitri of Pereslavl and Andrey of Gorodets—struggle for the right to govern Vladimir and Novgorod, respectively. After Dmitry's death in 1294, Daniel made an alliance with Mikhail of Tver and Ivan of Pereslavl against Andrey of Gorodets of Novgorod.
Daniel's participation in the struggle for Novgorod in 1296 indicated Moscow's increasing political influence. Constantine, the prince of Ryazan, tried to capture the Moscow lands with the help of a Mongol force. Prince Daniel defeated it near Pereslavl. This was a first victory over the Tatars, though not a tremendous victory, but it was noteworthy as a first push towards freedom. In 1300, he imprisoned the ruler of the Ryazan Principality by some ruse, as the chronicle says. To secure his release, the prisoner ceded to Daniel his fortress of Kolomna. It was an important acquisition, as now Daniel controlled all the length of the Moskva River. In 1302 his childless nephew and ally, Ivan of Pereslavl, bequeathed to Daniel all his lands, including Pereslavl-Zalessky.
During the Mongol occupation and internecine wars among the Rus' princes, Daniel created peace in Moscow without bloodshed. During 30 years of ruling Daniel participated in battles only once. According to legend, Daniel was popular and respected by his subjects for his meekness, humility and peacefulness.
Daniel has been credited with founding the first Moscow monasteries, dedicated to the Lord's Epiphany and to Saint Daniel. On the right bank of the Moskva River, at a distance of 5 miles from the Moscow Kremlin not later than in 1282 he founded the first monastery with the wooden church of St. Daniel-Stylite. Now it is the Danilov Monastery. At the age of 42 on the 17-th (4-th in old style) of March in 1303 St. Daniel died. Before his death he became a monk and, according to his will, was buried in the cemetery of the St. Daniel Monastery.
He was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1652.
Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ (Podgorica, Montenegro)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
The cathedral is located in the area called New City, in the central-western part of Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. It is the Metropolitan cathedral of Montenegro and Littoral, belonging to the Serbian Orthodox Church. It is the largest Orthodox church in Montenegro and considered the third in the world after the Church of Christ the Savior of Moscow and the Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade. The construction lasted about 20 years (1993-2013). The consecration of the church, marked by a magnificent ceremony, took place on October 6, 2013 on the occasion of the 1,700th anniversary of the Milan Edict on freedom of religion.
The spatial architectural solution of the cathedral is the Greek cross (4 equal, perpendicular arms), respectively four domes that intersect centrally and are supported on 8 pillars. Above pillars stands a 17 m high tower, covered by a semicircular dome. Compared to the share of the land, the church rises to 41.50 m, the last 4 m being represented by the golden cross on the central dome. The front of the church is dominated by 2 bell-towers with 17 bells, the hardest of which is about 11 tons (the largest in the Balkans?). At the base of the two bell-towers are two small churches. Above the main entrance is a terrace. Between the bell towers and the central tower there is a bell tower with three bells. In the basement of the church there is the Crypt consisting of a multifunctional hall, a church and auxiliary spaces. Near the church is the monument of Nikola Tesla, brilliant scientist of Serbian origin. The entrance is dominated by the mosaic representing the Resurrection of Christ (the icon of devotion). The nave joins the altar with the lateral apses. North and south sides are balconies for choirs, in turn bordered with balconies for believers and clergy. The exterior and interior decoration of the cathedral reflects the entire heritage of Christian art in Montenegro, from the period of early Christianity to the present day, together with elements from the ancient Christian temple in the Holy Land, from Mount Athos, from Byzantium, from medieval Serbia etc. The interior, including the Crypt from the basement, is covered with about 6,200 square meters of painting in fresco style, realized on a golden background between 2006-2013. The central chandelier is unique in its beauty and proportions, being probably the largest in the Orthodox churches in Europe. Another value of the church are the mosaics totaling 1,961 square meters.
Catedrala este situată în zona numită ”Orașul Nou”, în partea central-vestică a orașului Podgorica (se citește Podgorița), capitala statului Muntenegru. Este catedrala Mitropoliei Muntenegru și Littoral, aparținând Bisericii ortodoxe Sârbe. Este cea mai mare biserică ortodoxă din Muntengru și considerată a treia din lume după Biserica Mântuitorului Hristos din Moscova și Biserica Sfântul Sava din Belgrad. Construirea a durat circa 20 de ani (1993-2013). Sfințirea bisericii, marcată de o fastuoasă ceremonie, a avut loc la 6 octombrie 2013 cu ocazia aniversării a 1700 de ani de la Edictul de la Milano privind libertatea religiei.
Soluția arhitectonică spațială a catedralei este crucea greacă (4 brațe egale), respectiv 4 cupole care se intersectează central și se sprijină pe 8 stâlpi. Deasupra stâlpilor se ridică o turlă de 17 m înălțime, acoperită de o cupolă semicirculară. Față de cota terenului, biserica se ridică la 41,50 m, ultimii 4 m fiind reprezentați de crucea aurită de pe cupola centrală. Partea frontală a bisericii este dominată de 2 turnuri-clopotniță având 17 clopote dintre care cel mai greu are circa 11 tone (cel mai mare din Balcani ?). La baza celor două turnuri-clopotniță sunt două mici biserici. Deasupra intrării principale este o terasă. Între turnurile clopotniță și turla centrală există o clopotniță cu trei clopote. La subsolul bisericii se află ”Cripta” contituită dintr-o sală multifuncțională, o biserică și spații auxiliare. Lângă biserică se găsește monumentul lui Nikola Tesla, savant genial de origine sârbă. Intrarea este dominată de mozaicul reprezentând Învierea lui Hristos (icoana de hram). Naosul unește altarul cu absidele laterale. Lateral nord și sud sunt balcoane pentru coruri, la rândul lor mărginite de balcoane pentru credincioși și cler. Decorația exterioară și interioară a catedralei reflectă întreaga moștenire a artei creștine din Muntenegru, din perioada creștinismului timpuriu până în zilele noastre, alături de elemente provenind de la străvechiul templu creștin din Țara Sfântă, de la Sfântul Munte Athos, Bizanț, Serbia medievală etc. Interiorul, inclusiv Cripta de la subsol, este acoperit cu circa 6.200 mp de pictură în stil frescă, realizată pe un fundal aurit. Candelabrul central este unic prin frumusețe, fiind probabil cel mai mare în bisericile ortodoxe din Europa. O altă valoare a bisericii sunt mozaicurile care totalizează 1.961 mp.

Lyrics by S.Esenin
paintings by Russian artist Arkhip Kuindji
The soul is bound to miss the highest,
It doesn't live in this world's vale.
I love when trees are live with fire
Of emerald, impelling flames.
Young boughs like candels stream
their incense
Before the sacred mystery,
And starry words flow into blossom
On crowns of deep primeval green.
I grasp the earthly word to clear,
And yet I cannot shed my pain,
Like valley lakes reflect so dear
A sudden flash of comet flame.
So horses cannot shed the moon
That pierces their spines and seeps...
Oh could my eyes shoot up through doom
Like these green leaves invade the deep.
Пресвятая Богородица спаси нас. 50. Валаамский хор.
За свою более чем 1000-летнюю историю Валаамский монастырь пережил множество как духовных, так и материальных взлётов и падений.
Наиболее значимые из них, произошедшие в XX-XXI вв., это:
— полная эвакуация обители с Валаамского архипелага в глубь Финляндии во время советско-финской войны 1939-1940 гг.;
— наступившее за этим разорение и забвение монастыря на многие десятилетия;
— возвращение монастыря Русской Православной Церкви и начало его духовного возрождения и реставрации в декабре 1989 г.;
— окончательное восстановление и освящение Святейшим Патриархом Алексием II главной Валаамской святыни – Спасо-Преображенского собора в августе 2005 г. В связи с этим событием по благословению игумена Валаамской обители, епископа Троицкого Панкратия был организован профессиональный мужской хор монастыря.
В состав хора вошли профессиональные музыканты из Санкт-Петербурга, выпускники Хорового училища при Государственной академической капелле им. М. И. Глинки и Санкт-Петербургской Государственной консерватории им. Н. А. Римского-Корсакова, дипломированные дирижёры и вокалисты, ведущие певцы вокальных, хоровых коллективов и музыкальных театров Санкт-Петербурга. Среди них заслуженные артисты Республики Карелии Михаил Круглов (род. в 1972, бас-профундо) и Дмитрий Попов (род. в 1967, контр-тенор), лауреаты международных конкурсов Александр Бордак (род. в 1973, тенор) и Борис Петров (род. в 1984, баритон). Постоянные творческие партнёры хора — заслуженный артист России Владимир Миллер (род. 1964), солист Государственного Мариинского театра Санкт-Петербурга Владимир Целебровский, солист Государственного академического Большого театра России Станислав Мостовой, солист Государственного Санкт-Петербургского музыкального театра «Зазеркалье» Антон Росицкий. Средний возраст участников хора 35 лет.
Хор Валаамского монастыря – уникальный творческий коллектив, деятельность которого связана с непосредственными благословениями игумена Валаамского монастыря, епископа Троицкого Панкратия. Хор одновременно является богослужебно-певческим и концертным творческим коллективом. Он участвует в праздничных богослужениях на Валаамском подворье в С.-Петербурге. Храм подворья – единственное место в городе, где аутентичные древнерусские песнопения исполняются по старинному обычаю «антифонно» (попеременно) на два «лика» и одним общим хором вместе. Коллектив сопровождает Патриаршие богослужения на Валааме, торжественные приёмы на острове Президента и членов Правительства РФ, других высокопоставленных гостей монастыря. В период летнего паломнического сезона певцы хора помогают в пении хору братии Валаамского монастыря и дают благотворительные концерты, знакомя многочисленных гостей обители с традициями валаамского церковного пения.
Концертная деятельность хора началась в 2007 г. с выступления на торжественном собрании Торгово-промышленной палаты России, возглавляемой Е. М. Примаковым. В мае 2008 г. хор дал сольный концерт в базилике Святителя Николая города Бари в рамках Фестиваля российского искусства в Италии, организованного по личной инициативе В. В. Путина и С. Берлускони. Сольные выступления хора состоялись на самых престижных академических концертных площадках России – в Большом зале Филармонии С.-Петербурга, в Концертном зале им. П. И. Чайковского Филармонии, в Большом зале Консерватории, в Международном Доме Музыки Москвы. Гастроли хора прошли в Нижнем Новгороде, Красноярске, Саратове, Тамбове, Рязани, во всех крупных городах СЗФО (Архангельске, Петрозаводске, Мурманске, Вологде, Пскове, Вел. Новгороде, Сыктывкаре), в Минске, в Алматы. С 2013 г. хор ежегодно в начале января организует и исполняет Рождественский концерт в Исаакиевском соборе С.-Петербурга, первый из которых собрал около 6000 слушателей. Хор первым из российских исполнителей создал специальную программу, посвященную 100-летию начала Первой мировой войны — «ЗАБЫТАЯ ВОЙНА», и представил ее в январе 2014 г. на сцене БКЗ «Октябрьский»в Санкт-Петербурге. В январе 2015 г. по приглашению народного артиста СССР Владимира Спивакова и митрополита Волоколамского Илариона (Алфеева) хор принял участие в V Московском Рождественском фестивале духовной музыки на сцене ММДМ, представив программу «Свет Христов просвещает всех!».

Here I present an album of photographs by the Russian photographer, Mikhail Petrovich Nastyukov, taken in 1867 along the River Volga.
These include views of the towns of Kalyazin and Mologa, now both submerged under water.
Biographical details of Nastyukov are very sketchy. Dates of his birth and early years are non existent. We do know that he was a photographer from 1858. In 1860 he founded this own school in Nizhny Novgorod, followed in 1862 by one in Moscow on Sretenka and in 1877…….
From 1868 he enjoyed the partonage of the tsarevich Alexanader Alexandrovich, even accompanying him and the Empress on a journey, in 1869, to Nizhny Novgorod Fair. Also known is that one of his students enrolled in his school in 1870 was Maxim Dmitriev, the later famous photographer and chronicler of the River Volga.

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
=======
Nicholas II or Nikolai II (Russian: Николай II Алекса́ндрович, tr. Nikolai II Aleksandrovich; 18 May [O.S. 6 May] 1868 – 17 July 1918), known as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer in the Russian Orthodox Church, was the last Emperor of Russia, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his forced abdication on 2 March 1917. His reign saw the fall of the Russian Empire from one of the foremost great powers of the world to economic and military collapse. He was given the nickname Nicholas the Bloody or Vile Nicholas by his political adversaries due to the Khodynka Tragedy, anti-Semitic pogroms, Bloody Sunday, the violent suppression of the 1905 Russian Revolution, the execution of political opponents, and his perceived responsibility for the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). Soviet historians portrayed Nicholas as a weak and incompetent leader whose decisions led to military defeats and the deaths of millions of his subjects.Russia was defeated in the 1904–1905 Russo-Japanese War which saw the annihilation of the reinforcing Russian Baltic Fleet after being sent on its round-the-world cruise at the naval Battle of Tsushima, off the coasts of Korea and Japan, the loss of Russian influence over Manchuria and Korea, and the Japanese annexation to the north of South Sakhalin Island. The Anglo-Russian Entente was designed to counter the German Empire's attempts to gain influence in the Middle East, but it also ended the Great Game of confrontation between Russia and the United Kingdom. When all Russian diplomatic efforts to prevent the First World War (1914–1918) failed, Nicholas approved the Imperial Russian Army mobilization on 30 July 1914 which gave Imperial Germany formal grounds to declare war on Russia on 1 August 1914. An estimated 3.3 million Russians were killed in the First World War. The Imperial Russian Army's severe losses, the High Command's incompetent management of the war efforts, and lack of food and supplies on the home front were all leading causes of the fall of the House of Romanov.
Following the February Revolution of 1917, Nicholas abdicated on behalf of himself and his son and heir, the Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich. He and his family were imprisoned and transferred to Tobolsk in late summer 1917. On 30 April 1918, Nicholas, Alexandra, and their daughter Maria were handed over to the local Ural Soviet council in Ekaterinburg (renamed Sverdlovsk during the Soviet era); the rest of the captives followed on 23 May.
