This cartoon made me smile! Another great little thing from Soviet era animation. This time from legendary ArmenFilm studio, 1982. It has English subtitles, a good cartoon to show your kids also!
Been a math person I like logical paradoxes! Do you? 😉

Our good reader David left us a comment:”There is a monastery in Finland called New Valamo near Heinävesi in Eastern central Finland. It has its roots with the one in this video that you showed. Because of the difficulties in the USSR in the 30s, some 150 monks moved to Finland and then were under the jurisdiction of the Finnish Orthodox Church. A very popular site to go to in the summer with many Finns and foreigners.“
So today we found an interesting Finnish Documentary Video: Valamo 1939 – A Monastery Island in Ladoga! Hope you like this video – the same like we do!
For people who wants know more:
an article in Wikipedia is here.
That is a beautiful video of The New Valamo Monastery and Lintula Convent:
Site of New Valamo Monastery you can find here

Today we are going to get knowledge about one more Russian places you must visit. And we have not been there yet! I hope one day we’ll travel there… Today we’ll watch a video from Valaam Monastery that is located in Russian Karelia, on Valaam, the largest island in Lake Ladoga, the largest lake in Europe. This light video was made in memory of monk Grigory.
We invite our readers who wants to know more to official site of Valaam Monastery. That’s really very interesting, you can find more video and mp3 records of famous Valaam Choir. And don’t miss their picture gallery – we found these pictures just incredible!
Best wishes,

Hello,
that was “The Last Bell” yesterday. And when I looked for a good video about school I went through a lot of good videos from people of my generation. What I can tell about these videos… People are proud that they lived in USSR: “Maybe we did not have cellphones and audio-players, but maybe to have all these “wonderful things” is not the most important thing in life. The much more important thing is what we really were free and afraid of nothing (because there was nothing to afraid around) and we knew what is real friendship about and never betray our friends!” Today I want to show you one of the videos what I found and really liked… And one day I’ll make a video by myself about my youth! I promise.
