Leave a reply

Hello,

Today we will have a nice sweet journey to the heart of Russia. That is an ancient Russian city Novgorod what placed not far from St.Petersburg. Really it will be a journey to the heart of this town it’s Kremlin. This video-journey is very special for us, because we’ve been there and seen all these beauties, but we’ve been there in late autumn and here we’ll see the Novgorod Kremlin (Detinets) in summer. It’s so beautiful and relaxing video, personally I can watch it again and again and dream about summer what is on it’s way thou we still have a lot snow here.

Best wishes,
Do you dream about summer?

Russian Video: A Man with a Movie Camera!

Leave a reply

Hello,

How we’ve recently promised you this weekend we will watch an old Russian full-length documentary video. A Man with a Movie Camera (Человек с киноаппаратом) was made as an experimental 1929 silent documentary film by Russian director Dziga Vertov, editor Elizaveta Svilova (who was also his wife), and his cinematographer, Mikhail Kaufman (also his brother). The idea behind this movie was to show life it is lived. This movie became a portrait of one day in big Soviet city. Really, there were three cities: Moscow, Kiev and Odessa.

The music what was used in this movie was composed from notes left by the director.

Russian Video: Yuri Gagarin – 75!

Leave a reply

Hello,

Today Yuri Gagarin would be 75 years old. Kyle already posted a very interesting video about Yuri Gagarin: From Russia: Yuri Gagarin – The First Human in Space! I highly recommend you to watch that video first. When you will be back I offer you to watch this beautiful musical video dedicated to Yuri Gagarin – a lot of old pictures from archive of Gagarin’s family and a beautiful song “The Pioneer Of Starry Tracks” in memory of Yuri Gagarin. The song was written in 1971 (Yuri Gagarin died in 1986) by very famous Russian composer Alexadra Pakhmutova.

In Russia we are still proud of this man. One city and a lot of streets and squares has his name, one asteroid and Moon’s crater has his name also…
