Hello,

We all here in Russia love Nightingale’s songs.

And although we already published a video with Russian nightingale’s song I want to show you one beautiful video where we can watch another sining nightingale in Russia!

The song of nightingale always inspirited Russian poets and compositors. Today we’ll listen one of the most beautiful Russian romance: “Nightingale” music by Alexander Alyabviev(1787 – 1851), and lyrics by Anton Delvig ( 1798 – 1831).

Russian Video: Tornado near Moscow!

Hello,

Yes, it was a pretty strong wind last night (4 of June, 2009) here in Moscow. But in town Krasnozavodsk what is near Moscow it was a real tornado – what I never seen in my life! We found the best video about this tornado on Russian TV channel NTV. And even if you don’t understand Russian this video still deserves to be watched – you’ll see a lot of video facts about this tornado:

I personally was so impressed by: 5-store buildings without roofs, broken glass in windows and even internal walls in flats, woman who was lifted in her kiosk up 50 meters… and so on.

This short video from Russia Today will tell you in English even more about this Tornado near Moscow!

Every evening I walk with our dog Boza in the little forest near home. Sometimes it’s very late about 1 – 2 a.m. This time of night blossom bushes smell so sweet and nightingales sing so beautiful! I wanted to make a little video where we could hear the beautiful nightingale’s song, but it’s still too noisy here… So I found a beautiful video from Russian city Izhevsk to listen to a nightingale:
