Today Russia remembers the bloodiest tank battle of World War Two – The Battle of Kursk.
That is a Video from Russia Today:
And here we’ll watch a good historical documentary video about The Battle of Kursk:
This vacation we visited the village Prokhorovka and we’ll never forget the Orthodox Church and the names names and names on its walls, names of people who stayed there forever, who died defending our future!
Maybe you heard that there are bears on the streets of Russian cities. Maybe later you read that bears on the streets in Russia is not true. This video will show us that sometimes in some cities it could be true. A video from Nizhny Novgorod by Russia Today:
Have a good day and if you meet a bear we wish your bear be the same nice, kind and playful like ours in Russia, Svet and Kyle
To continue the previous theme about Russian Navy we found an unique video of concert of Russian Navy Showband at Royal Tournament, 1993. We will listen to navy marches again and we’ll even watch old folk sailors’ dances by Russian Navy Showband! Hope you enjoy this video as we do!
I just love this traditional navy march “The St George Banner” and want to share with everybody this beautiful video with contemporary photos of the Russian navy. Just play it and enjoy!
For our readers who wants to know more several words from the author of this video: After a period of decline after the fall of the USSR, the navy is restoring its standards and is again one of the premier fleets in the world. The bear is at sea once more, and he won’t be ignored!
The author believes in Russian navy. When I listen to the march I believe that everything in the world will get better! 🙂
Today we will listen to a song what Russians love a lot. That is a song “Raft” (Plot in Russian, Flot – phonetic spelling) by Yuriy Losa.
I think that is a very good song and I’ll tell you even more: NASA chose this song for one of their Wake-up Calls: Wake-up calls are a long-standing tradition of the NASA program. Each day during the mission, flight controllers in the Mission Control Center will greet the crew with an appropriate musical interlude.
You can read about this program on NASA official site, look what another songs they used and even download them.
Ivana Kupala Day: (John the Baptist Day; Russian: Иван-Купала; Belarusian: Купалле; Ukrainian: Івана Купала; Polish: Noc Kupały or Noc Świętojańska) is celebrated in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine currently on 7 July in the Gregorian or New Style calendar, which is 24 June in the Julian or Old Style calendar still used by many of the Orthodox Churches. It is opposed to the winter solstice holiday, or Korochun. (Wikipedia)
So today we learned and watched something new… Hope it was intereseting for you!
Yesterday we walked in Tsaritsyno [the name means Tsar’s = Place what belongs to Tcar] that is a very beautiful park and an interesting museum with a lot of exhibitions… And tonight we found a very good video to show you this wonderful place. Maybe late we’ll make our own video. But today:
I wish you were here…
For our readers who wants to know about this wonderful place more:
In the southern part of Moscow, twenty minutes away from downtown by car, lay the lands of the State Museum-Reserve Tsaritsyno. Its nucleus is the largest palatial ensemble in Russia – the residence of Catherine the Great constructed between 1775 and 1796 by the famous Russian architects Vasiliy Bazhenov and Matvey Kazakov in the romantic “gothic taste”. A beginning of the XIX century landscape park is located nearby. Its trees overlook the waters of the Upper Tsaritsyno pond, which together with the Shipilovsky and Borisovsky ponds form the largest cascade of ponds in Moscow. Tsaritsyno is the largest museum-reserve and historical and cultural monument of the federal level in Moscow, occupying over 700 hectares. A tremendously rich complex of architectural objects is gathered here – the historic village sites, plowed fields, barrows dated from the VI thousand years B.C. to the beginning of the XII century. These parts remember the Streshnev family boyars, Golitsin and Kantemirov princely families, Catherine the Great and her brilliant associates, and many of the distinguished Russian statesmen of the XIX and XX centuries. Following the death of Catherine the Great the architectural idea was not completed. Over the two hundred years the palatial ensemble had turned into majestic ruins…
The restoration of the Grand Palace, the former great historical ruin, was completed in 2007. Large-scale restoration and landscaping of the park and the ponds was also carried out. Tsaritsyno, a jewel of Russian culture, has a grand future.
If you want to know even more we strongly recommend you to visit a site of this State Museum-Reserve Tsaritsyno.
Maybe you remember that we visited our village a couple or three weeks ago. Maybe some of you read a sweet Kyle’s article about Sunrise in the village (by the way the official name of this village is Sunrise to Freedom!) Recently, we made a slide show to show you more sites of our village. Yesterday we discovered Veoh one more place in Internet where you can upload your video and they warranties that the quality of your video stays good.
So today we watch a very good slide show (I hope you agree with me) and test a new video system! (You can compare a quality this video on Veoh with quality of the same video on GoogleVideo we published it in our MainBlog)
Best wishes and have a good day, Svet and Kyle
PS And do not forget we really need your feedback!
Today we will watch a very interesting movie from RussiaToday. Really, Medical Discussions are very popular in Russia and a lot of people listen to Medical Transmissions on the Radio. Cause of these a Patient in Russia is a thinking and experienced person, he knows sometimes more than doctors or at least thinks like that. Patients and doctors like to use folk medicine if it’s possible and your doctor never forget to remind you about diet and healthy style of life.
And today we introduce you a very interesting Medical Discussion. The theme is “Taking pills: cause or cure?“
Short description of this video: “Today we discuss medicine and the health problems increasingly causing people to be dependent on drug treatment. But is it the only way to cure deseases? To discuss this vital question, we have invited to our studio two doctors, Sergey Bubnovsky, the creator of an alternative System of Neurology and Orthopaedics and prominent cardiologist Yury Buziashvili.“
What doctors in your country would think about this video and how they would answer the question of this video: “Taking pills: cause or cure?”?
