Twenty-five years have passed since the Chernobyl disaster… But people still remember the tragedy. Aleksey Yaroshevsky – correspondent of Russia Today visited Pripyat (nearest city to Chernobyl). Let’s watch his documentary!

The evacuation of Pripyat happened very rapidly – it took only 3 hours to evacuate the whole city. People was told to only take the bare necessities, as the authorities said it would only last about three days.

Russian Video: An Easter Address from Patriarch Kirill (English translation).

Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia makes his traditional address to the nation on Easter Day.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Christ is risen!

During these days of Easter we greet each other with these wonderful words. And we reply, “He is risen indeed!” These exclamations, full of light and vitality, have been used for almost two thousand years. Over this period, powerful kingdoms arose and fell apart, languages and peoples came into and out of being, people took fancy to different ideas, many of which, incidentally, resulted in bitter disappointment. Everything was changing. But these words remained unchanged..

Watch the video with full Easter speech of Patriarch Kirill with English translation:



Happy Easter!

Starman: The Truth Behind The Legend of Yuri Gagarin (Documentary Video)


“Starman: The Truth Behind The Legend of Yuri Gagarin” – documentary film tells the extraordinary story behind the legend of Yuri Gagarin – a moving tale of the young son of a peasant who became the first human being in space. It is a true history of Gagarin with the real people involved.

No one book or even a documentary video can be claimed as the only and whole truth of a story. The movie director and writer choose what episodes to pick up and what questions to ask people.

But anyway “Starman: The Truth Behind The Legend of Yuri Gagarin” is a very good interesting movie and worth you to watch.
