RUSSIA: STATE LIBRARY HOSTS INTERNATIONAL GATHERING OF LIBRARIANS
Russian/Eng/Nat
This week the Russian State Library is hosting an international gathering of librarians and archivists.
While the library boasts an enormous collection of books, its economic plight is what's drawing worldwide attention.
The library, known in the past as Leninka after the founder of the Soviet state, is poorly financed by the government, and private donations are almost insignificant.
In the Soviet days, the Lenin library was one of the key symbols of the Communist state -- along with the Bolshoi Ballet and the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin.
The library is the world's second largest after the Library of Congress, with more than 42 (m) million books in 247 languages.
Every day, 5-thousand people come here.
And there just aren't the librarians to cope with the demand.
Currently there are vacancies for eight hundred, and, with monthly salaries of little more than a hundred U-S dollars, it is hard to see things improving in the near future.
This deteriorating situation is, understandably, of great concern to the library's director.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Our library was always at the centre of attention. But today, although we still rank as the number one object of Russia's cultural heritage, but the country's economic situation does not allow, in the main, proper maintenance and development of the library's treasures.
SUPER CAPTION: Vladimir Yegorov, Library Director
Wooden boxes with cards occupy almost all the space not taken up by books.
Readers can spend hours finding the book they want.
Worse, the books are always at risk of water damage caused by frequent flooding -- the library is hostage to the aging pipes of an ancient plumbing system.
Maintaining the required temperature and humidity for rare books is almost impossible under these conditions.
And there are no computers to search for books.
This hasn't stopped students from studying at the library - it just makes their task that much harder.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
It is the biggest library. In other countries, even small libraries have such equipment. so that it is easier and quicker to find books.
SUPER CAPTION: Isaac Huang, student from Taiwan
With its rich collections of 15th Century manuscripts, first printed books, maps and sheet music, the Russian State Library holds treasures so valuable they transcend national heritage.
The proper upkeep of such historical items would not only benefit Russia and its students but historians across the globe.

A note on 'Ivan the Terrible' - in Russia, Ivan IV has the epithet 'Гро́зный' meaning 'Great' or 'Formidable'. So why is he known as Ivan 'the Terrible' in English? Because he was evil or useless or because of anti-Russian bias? No, because 'Terrible' in English also means awesome or formidable - this was well understood when 'Гро́зный' was first translated into English centuries ago, but now fewer people understand this. (see definitions 3 & 4 here: The name stuck, and Ivan IV has been known as Ivan the Terrible ever since.

Rare Color Photographs of the Russian Empire (1904-1915)
Consider Supporting HoH:
Russian Czar Nicholas II commissioned a photographer, one that pioneered colourized photography, to travel through the Russian Empire. With his specially equipped railway carriage, he captured the way of life and its religious buildings, infrastructure, normal people living in it and its landscapes. His name was Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky. Many of those photographs have been preserved, and honestly, they’re of incredible quality.
Rectification: at 3:57 what you're seeing is the moulding of an artistic casting. Kasli Iron Works. From the album: Views in the Ural Mountains, survey of industrial area, Russian Empire, 1910. Not developing photographs.

New Mosaic at the Moscow Public Library!
Meet Melissa Cole: the mosaic artist behind the new public art project at the Moscow Public Library. Over 90 members of our community helped put together the mosaic titled Inspiration and Pollination. Melissa was inspired by the library's pollinator garden and likened library visitors to bees who pollinate the world with their knowledge!
Inspiration and Pollination will be unveiled at Moscow Artwalk on June 15, 2018, and those who helped at our art workshops will be able to find the pieces they put together!
This mosaic was commissioned by the City of Moscow, the Moscow Arts Commission, and the Latah County Library District.

Moscow. Walking around the Kremlin Ring [4K]
Kitay Gorod, Bely Gorod and Zaryadye are the oldest districts of Moscow. On their territory are the Kremlin, Red Square, the oldest houses and monasteries. Today we will go around the ring around these areas, which is informally called the Kremlin Ring. This is the smallest circular route around the Kremlin. However, this is one of the most intense walks in the history of the city, since almost every building in it has historical significance. We will pay attention to some of the buildings when walking, however, we highly recommend to personally visit these streets and soak up the spirit of great Moscow!

MOST INSANE Presidential Palaces !
Today we’re going to venture through many palaces around the world and see what they’re building. From exotic modern designs to historical strongholds !
Subscribe to American Eye
7. Presidential Palace, hanoi
Although it might be built in vietnam, this palace is European but just painted yellow. It was constructed by a Fre nch Imperialists, August Henri Vildieu but the current modern government continues to use it. The famous leader Ho Chi Minh is said to refuse to live there due to various symbolic reasons and constructed something more traditionally vietnamese on the property. The palace is home to many different government meetings and is not open to the public for visitation. One may walk around outside of it for a fee but that's about as close as your gonna get. Located in Hanoi, it’s home to mango trees, carp ponds, a mausoleum and various tropical plants.
6. Hofburg Palace
Completed in 1279 AD the Hofburg palace is just one of many remarkable structures found in Vienna. Complete in Baroque architecture, it’s been occupied by Holy Roman Emperors and various seats of power. It was the residence of the Austrian emperor until 1918 and home to the president of Austria. The crown jewels of austria are kept locked up tightly and it’s possibly the most historical site in the country. Not too far away, you’ll find the Habsburg Imperial Crypt which is the final resting place of the Habsburg dynasty. Construction began in the 17th century and this church houses the bones of 145 members of Habsburg royalty, including 12 emperors and 18 empresses. The court library displays remarkable works of art from the renaissance and enlightenment age. Certainly a place to behold.
5. Palacia Da Alvorada
One of the more sleek and modern designs for a presidential pala would be located in the capital city of brasilia. This is the first governmental structure built in the federal capital and was built from 1957 to 1958. It almost looks as though the president is checking into a high roller suite in vegas or something! The state room is decorated with modern art and a restoration was complete from 2004-2006. It takes up an estimated 75,000 feet and is complete with various sculptures. It’s complete with a movie theater, game room, laundry, medical center and many private rooms. The area seems quite secluded from highly populated areas in brazil. It’s home to roughly 160 employees at all times including security, private chefs, doctors, etc.
4. Grand Kremlin Palace
Russia sneaks its way on our list again because the grand kremlin office in Moscow is pretty awesome. Designed for the Czars of Russia in the the 1800’s, it displays a massive amount of elegance and culture. With crystal chandeliers, and polished floors you almost have to wonder what the amber room would have looked like. The highly saught after land it was built on involved the demolition of other great palaces that were previously there. We’re sure putin will have a difficult choice where to stay at sometimes.
3. Vientiane, Laos
Possibly one of the most intriguing blends of French and indo chinese architecture would be right here at the presidential palace in the country of Laos. It’s located on the banks of the Mekong River near a buddhist temple complex. The royal government decided this would be a good location for their palace and in 1973 construction took place. It’s well known for its elegant facade and well manicured gardens.
2. The Whitehouse
The White House is the official residence of the leader of the free world. Guests are allowed to visit parts of it but much of it, is still left a secret. But beneath the White House lies a vast system of underground bunkers, as well as the underground West Wing Command Center. This portion of the White House was constructed in 2010 shrouded in secrecy. When the bunker was being built, it was covered up with tall fences that went around the west wing. The tall fences and the visible bulldozers led many conspiracy theorists to outrageous ideas.
1.The Presidential Palace Abu Dhabi
Located not to far away from the Emirates Palace Hotel, which could probably beat many presidential palaces of many different countries, no one besides maybe putin is gonna roll like the president of the United Arab Emirates. You could probably see this house from outer space. That’s what where talking about. Illuminated at night, it’s visible for miles with clear weather. They got boats lined up at the marina at the emirates palace and cost them an estimated 490 million dollars. It encompasses approximately 150 hectares of land and of course, is just slightly over the top pushing its way into our number one!

Rick Steves' The Story of Fascism
In this one-hour special, Rick travels back a century to learn how fascism rose and then fell in Europe — taking millions of people with it. We'll trace fascism's history from its roots in the turbulent aftermath of World War I, when masses of angry people rose up, to the rise of charismatic leaders who manipulated that anger, the totalitarian societies they built, and the brutal measures they used to enforce their ideology. We'll see the horrific consequences: genocide and total war. And we'll be inspired by the stories of those who resisted. Along the way, we'll visit poignant sights throughout Europe relating to fascism, and talk with Europeans whose families lived through those times. Our goal: to learn from the hard lessons of 20th-century Europe, and to recognize that ideology in the 21st century.

Russia: Book worms rejoice as sumptuous and VERY pricey library opens in St. Petersburg
Wealthy bookworms have a treat in store if they were willing to make the journey to St. Petersburg where one could be one of the world’s most expensive libraries opened.
The exclusive interior of Book Capella was captured on Monday, with footage showing the painstakingly decorated furnishings, tapestries and stained glass. In such surroundings for a fee of 7,000 roubles (€113) for a single session you can read some of the more than 5,000 carefully selected volumes of Russian authors of 16th to the early 20th centuries.
The high admission fee is justified according to the administration since all the items in the library are precious in their own right though not originals. Each volume is hand made using expensive paper and leather bindings with gold lettering and many are available for sale and in great demand from collectors.
SOT Yuri Shestakov, CEO, Alfaret Publishing House (Russian): We thought that a format of chapel would better suit these unique books, so we wanted a visitor to have a chance to work with the books in the atmosphere of seclusion, in the atmosphere of some sacramental communication with these great books.
