Living history: Explore abandoned Russian church that 'once held key to Berlin'
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
The Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, located in the village of Yaropolets in the Moscow Region and filmed on Thursday, has born witness to numerous important historical events throughout the years, from the German occupation in World War II to religious repression under Khrushchev.
The church's main alter was sanctified in 1839-1840. Services in the church did not stop being held until 1961. Even during the Great Patriotic War when German occupation forces were here, the Germans did not touch the church. However, under Nikita Khrushchev, Russian believers began to be persecuted again and the Church was closed and the churchgoers driven out, Priest Mikhail Zavitaev explained.
Although there is no documentary evidence, local legend has it that a key to Berlin, seized by Count Zakhar Grigoryevich Chernyshev following his infamous 1760 raid on the city, was once stored in the church. In an ironic twist of fate, the Germans then took back the key in 1941, when they occupied the area.
Following its closure, the building was abandoned and looted. However, the first restorative work on the historic church began in April 2016, but it will likely take hundreds of millions of roubles to complete.
The church is currently in a state of disrepair and returning churchgoers are trying, with their humble means, to save this amazing church building, Zavitaev said, adding we have very little and absolutely no financing, so we use every opportunity to draw attention to our church to save it.

Russian and German Cemeteries, Rossoshka, Volgograd Region Wolgograd Victory Day Parade #rus
Rossoshka WWII Russian and German Cemeteries - Stalingrad Battlefield Volgograd
Visit Volgograd formerly known as Stalingrad - We will join the Victory Day Parade in Wolgograd and celebrate 9th of May with the locals. We also going to see the war memorials and war cemetery.
Join us on a wonderful history tour to Russia and Russian culture.
Victory Day is a holiday that commemorates the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War. It was first inaugurated in the 16 republics of the Soviet Union, following the signing of the German Instrument of Surrender late in the evening on 8 May 1945 (after midnight, thus on 9 May Moscow Time). The Soviet government announced the victory early on 9 May after the signing ceremony in Berlin. Though the official inauguration occurred in 1945 the holiday became a non-labour day only in 1965 and only in certain Soviet republics.
In East Germany, 8 May was observed as Liberation Day from 1950 to 1966, and was celebrated again on the 40th anniversary in 1985. In 1975, a Soviet-style Victory Day was celebrated on 9 May. Since 2002, the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has observed a commemoration day known as the Day of Liberation from National Socialism, and the End of the Second World War.
After regaining their independence from the Soviet Union, the Baltic countries now commemorate the end of World War II on 8 May, the Victory in Europe Day.
During the Soviet Union's existence, 9 May was celebrated throughout the USSR and in the countries of the Eastern Bloc. Though the holiday was introduced in many Soviet republics between 1946 and 1950, it only became a non-labour day in the Ukrainian SSR in 1963 and the Russian SSR in 1965. In the Russian SSR a weekday off (usually a Monday) was given if 9 May fell on a Saturday or Sunday.
The celebration of Victory Day continued during subsequent years. The war became a topic of great importance in cinema, literature, history lessons at school, the mass media, and the arts. The ritual of the celebration gradually obtained a distinctive character with a number of similar elements: ceremonial meetings, speeches, lectures, receptions and fireworks.
In Russia during the 1990s, the 9 May holiday was not celebrated with large Soviet-style mass demonstrations due to the policies of successive Russian governments. Following Vladimir Putin's rise to power, the Russian government began promoting the prestige of the governing regime and history, and national holidays and commemorations became a source of national self-esteem. Victory Day in Russia has increasingly become a celebration in which popular culture plays a central role. The 60th and 70th anniversaries of Victory Day in Russia (2005 and 2015) became the largest popular holidays since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In 2015 around 30 leaders, including those of China and India, attended the 2015 celebration, while Western leaders boycotted the ceremonies because of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine.

unusual and interesting cemetery at Maria Limbach Church, Franconia, Bavaria, Germany
This is the cemetery behind the Franconian church named Maria Limbach Pilgramage Church featured during a Viking Cruises optional Tour of the Franconian Countryside on August 1, 2019 during a Cities of Light cruise which has an austere and ordinary outside but inside almost makes one think one is in the Passau Cathedral. I had never actually been in a German cemetery before and so this one absolutely amazed me. It is behind the church on St. 2277 between Sand a Main and Eltmann in Bavaria about 25 km from Bamberg and just south of the Main River. I have no idea how typical this is for a German, Franconian or Bavarian cemetery but to me it was awesome and amazing. Come to think about it more, I don't think this is so unusual in Germany because I got glimpses of another cemetery in Koblenz during our bus ride to Marksburg Castle and from the limited view I had over the wall it looked pretty similar.

Crypt of the Orthodox Church of St. Cyril & Methodius | Prague | OTIS MCDONALD MUSIC
2 Minutes of MUSIC by OTIS MCDONALD
Title of Song: NOT FOR NOTHING
In May 1942, two Czechoslovak paratroopers sent by the government in exile in London carried out the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the Bohemian puppet state's Nazi overseer.
The paratroopers, along with several partisans who assisted in the plot, fled to the crypt of the Orthodox Church of St. Cyril and Methodius.
Another partisan however betrayed them to the Germans, who tried first of all to shoot their way into the crypt, then to flush the men out with water.
Sadly, on realising there was no escape, the resistance fighters committed suicide.
The dramatic story is retold in the crypt of the church where the events took place, entitled the National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror.
Photos from the period and explanations recount an event which is heroic, sad, and at the same time, frustrating.
The Heydrich assassination led to hundreds of innocent people, including almost the entire village of Lidice, paying with their lives.
The museum also tells the wider story of Czech people who resisted Nazi occupation.
