Travel Russia - Exploring the Historic City of Yaroslavl
Take a tour of Historic Yaroslavl in Yaroslavl, Russia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Follow the Volga and Kotorosl Rivers to where they meet, and you will find the historic city of Yaroslavl.
This Russian city has been an economic power since the 11th century, and served as the country's de facto capital in the 17th century.
The medieval churches of Yaroslavl are typically Russian Orthodox in style and persuasion.
In 1763, Catherine the Great ordered a radical makeover of the town that would serve as a model for urban planning across the country.
Yaroslavl today is the result of this urban program, and is thus a beautiful example of Western cultural exchange and influence.
The city's neoclassical style, impressive monuments and historical importance all contribute to its UNESCO World Heritage designation.
Rostov-on-Don in Russia, one of the oldest in the country and a tourist center of the Golden Ring
Rostov-on-Don in Russia, one of the oldest in the country and a tourist center of the Golde
Rostov (Russian: Ростов; IPA: [rɐˈstof]; Old Norse: Rostofa) is a town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia, one of the oldest in the country and a tourist center of the Golden Ring. It is located on the shores of Lake Nero, 202 kilometers (126 mi) northeast of Moscow. Population: 31,792 (2010 Census);[4] 34,141 (2002 Census);[7] 35,707 (1989 Census).[8]
While the official name of the town is Rostov, it is popularly known to Russians as Rostov Veliky (Russian: Ростов Великий, Rostov the Great) to distinguish it from much larger city of Rostov-on-Don, and the name of the town railway station is Rostov Yaroslavsky, due to its position in Yaroslavl Oblast.
he central square of Rostov is occupied by the Assumption Cathedral. It is unknown when the present building was erected, the mid-16th century being the most likely date. Lower parts of the cathedral walls are dated to the 12th century. The ponderous bell-tower was constructed mostly in the 17th century. Its bells are among the largest and most famous in Russia - each has its own name. The largest bell, cast in 1688, weighs 32,000 kilograms (71,000 lb). It is named Sysoy to honor the city's founding father.
An area situated between the cathedral square and the lake was chosen by Iona Sysoevich as a place for his fairy-tale residence. All the construction works were carried out between 1667 and 1694. Major buildings include the ornate Savior Church-na-Senyakh (1675), the sombre Church of St. Gregory (1670), and the barbican churches of St. John the Apostle (1683) and of the Resurrection of Christ (1670). The residence, often erroneously called kremlin, also includes eleven ornate tower bells, numerous palaces, several small belfries, and the diminutive baroque Church of Our Lady of Smolensk (1693). All the churches are elaborately painted and decorated.
The cathedral and four tall kremlin churches with their silver blind domes were imitated throughout the city. This is particularly evident in the Savior-on-the-Market church and the cathedral church of the Nativity convent, both dating from the 17th century and situated near the kremlin walls. The oldest church within the town center was consecrated to St. Isidore the Blessed in 1565. They[who?] say that Ivan the Terrible had the architect executed, because his church was so much smaller than its predecessor.
The kremlin is flanked by two monasteries, both facing the Lake Nero. To the right from the kremlin stands the Abraham monastery, founded in the 11th century and one of the oldest in Russia. Its cathedral, commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in 1553 to commemorate the conquest of Kazan, inspired numerous churches in the region, particularly in Yaroslavl.
Spaso-Yakovlevsky Monastery, situated to the left from the Kremlin on the town's outskirts, has been venerated as the shrine of St. Dmitry of Rostov. Most of the monastery structures were built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries in the fine neoclassical style. There are also two 17th-century churches: the Conception of St. Anna, and the Transfiguration of Our Savior. Unlike most other churches in the town, the monastery belongs to the Russian Orthodoxy and houses a theological seminary.

ISTANBUL'S ONLY CHURCH (THE BULGARIAN) MADE OUT OF 100% CAST IRON (TURKEY) ⛪
SUBSCRIBE: -Let's go to Istanbul, Turkey, and let's visit the famous Bulgarian Church (also known as the Bulgarian Iron Church) which is a Bulgarian Orthodox church made of prefabricated cast iron elements in the neo-Gothic style. The church belongs to the Bulgarian minority in the city. The richly ornamented church is a three-domed cross-shaped basilica. The altar faces the Golden Horn and a 40 m-high belfry, the six bells of which were cast in Yaroslavl, rises above the narthex. Initially, a small wooden church was erected on the shore of the Golden Horn between Balat and Fener squares (near Eyüp District), where the current church is located. The church was completed in 1898 and inaugurated by Exarch Joseph on 8 September that year.
Istanbul is a major city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait. Its Old City reflects cultural influences of the many empires that once ruled here. In the Sultanahmet district, the open-air, Roman-era Hippodrome was for centuries the site of chariot races, and Egyptian obelisks also remain. The iconic Byzantine Hagia Sophia features a soaring 6th-century dome and rare Christian mosaics.
Turkey is a nation straddling eastern Europe and western Asia with cultural connections to ancient Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Cosmopolitan Istanbul, on the Bosphorus Strait, is home to the iconic Hagia Sophia, with its soaring dome and Christian mosaics, the massive 17th-century Blue Mosque and the circa-1460 Topkapı Palace, former home of sultans. Ankara is Turkey’s modern capital.

Savior on the Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg, Russia
The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the main sights of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Other names include the Church on Spilled Blood, the Temple of the Savior on Spilled Blood, and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ.
The Church of the Resurrection, also known as the Savior on Spilled Blood, was built in memory of Alexander II who was assassinated in 1881. The church stands in the very place where a bomb was thrown into his carriage by a young man who opposed the Tsar's reforms.
Alexander II was among the greatest Russian tsars, one of the main accomplishments of whom was the emancipation of serfs in 1861, which brought an end to the de facto slavery of the Russian peasantry, five years before the emancipation of slaves in the US.
The Cathedral of the Savior on Spilled Blood attracts people with its five onion-domes exuberantly decorated and covered with jeweler's enamel. It has a similar façade to St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow and its peculiar multicolored exterior makes the church stand out from St. Petersburg’s typically strict architectural proportions and color combinations.
It took around 24 years to construct such a majestic edifice as the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood and, after early Soviet vandalism, 27 years to restore. People would even joke that as soon as the construction trestles outside it were removed, the Soviet Regime would fall.
It may have been a coincidence, but the reconstruction that finished in 1991 was followed by the famous events which put an end to the Communist regime.
The highlight of both the interior and exterior of the Cathedral are its mosaic collection based on the paintings of Vasnetsov, Nesterov, and Vrubel. With a total area of 23130 square feet, it is one of the largest mosaic collections in Europe.
The Cathedral is decorated with Italian limestone and various semiprecious stones like jasper, mountain crystal, topaz, and others. On the outside, there are twenty granite plates which tell the most important events of Alexander II's reign. Quite a valuable gem to enhance your Saint Petersburg tour, isn't it?
Erected on the site where political nihilists fatally wounded Emperor Alexander II in March 1881, the church was constructed between 1883 and 1907, funded by the imperial family.
Construction began in 1883 during the reign of Alexander III, two years after the assassination of his father Alexander II. The church was dedicated to be a memorial to his father. Estimates suggest that the construction cost 4.5 million rubles. The construction was completed during the reign of Nicholas II in 1907. Funding was provided by the Imperial family with the support of many private donors.
The church is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal; paved roads run along both sides of the canal. On March 13, 1881, as Alexander II's carriage passed along the embankment, a grenade thrown by an anarchist conspirator exploded. The tsar, shaken but unhurt, got out of the carriage and started to remonstrate with the presumed culprit. A second conspirator took the chance to throw another bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding the tsar. The tsar, bleeding heavily, was taken back to the Winter Palace, where he died a few hours later.
A temporary shrine was erected on the site of the attack while plans and fundraising for a more permanent memorial were undertaken. In order to build a permanent shrine on the exact spot where the assassination took place, it was decided[citation needed] to narrow the canal so that the section of road on which the tsar had been driving could be included within the walls of the church. An elaborate shrine, in the form of a ciborium, was constructed at the end of the church opposite the altar, on the exact place of Alexander's assassination. It is embellished with topaz, lazurite and other semi-precious stones, making a striking contrast with the simple cobblestones of the old road, which are exposed in the floor of the shrine.
Architecturally, the cathedral differs from Saint Petersburg's other structures. The city's architecture is predominantly Baroque and Neoclassical, but the Savior on Blood harks back to medieval Russian architecture in the spirit of romantic nationalism. It intentionally resembles the 17th-century Yaroslavl churches and the celebrated St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.

???????? РОССИЯ МОСКВА КОЛОМЕНСКИЙ ДВОРЕЦ ⛪ TOURIST ATTRACTION IN MOSCOW GREAT PALACE KOLOMENSKOYE
Летняя парадная резиденция царя Алексея Михайловича находилась в селе Коломенское. Здесь во второй половине XVII века был построен великолепный архитектурный ансамбль, названный восьмым чудом света. Величие и небывалая красота строений удивляла иностранных послов и утверждала силу царской власти.
После смерти Алексея Михайловича и перенесения столицы в Санкт-Петербург Коломенское пришло в упадок. При Екатерине II обветшавший дворец разобрали. Екатерина хотела отреставрировать дворец, но 56 934 золотых рубля оказались для нее слишком большой суммой. Тогда были сделаны тщательные обмеры и описи здания. Документы и чертежи сохранились до наших дней и по ним в 2007-2010 годах в Коломенском был воссоздан дворец. Дворец царя Алексея Михайловича был возведен рядом с тем местом, где находились царские хоромы в прошлом.
Дворец царя Алексея Михайловича – из истории
Коломенское – одно из самых древних мест проживания человека на территории современной Москвы.
Царь Алексей Михайлович Романов очень любил парк Коломенское, здесь он охотился и принимал послов и именно он превратил свою усадьбу в сказочный дом. Строительство проходило пять лет с 1667 по 1672 год. Императрица Елизавета Петровна родилась во дворце в 1709 году. Петр Первый, сын Алексея Михайловича, дорожил отцовским домом. Здесь он научился писать и считать, сюда он ходил под парусом, сплавляясь по Москве-реке и здесь у него появилась тяга к ратному делу. Екатерина ІІ Коломенское не любила. Обветшавший деревянный дворец казался ей не соответствующим венценосному статусу. По ее приказу деревянный дворец был разрушен в 1768 году и заменен на гораздо более скромные каменно-кирпичной конструкциии. Когда столицу перенесли в Петербург, московская усадьба оказалась заброшенной и с годами сильно обветшала.
Коломенское Дворец Алексея Михайловича. Внешний вид
Коломенский дворец царя Алексея Михайловича исследователи считают вершиной русского деревянного зодчества. Дворец царя Алексея Михайловича состоял из 27 теремов и палат высотой от 2 до 4 этажей. Эту затейливо украшенную систему построек возводили не для удобства царской семьи, а чтобы его пышностью произвести впечатление на иностранных гостей. И это удалось, а Симеон Полоцкий даже назвал Коломенский дворец «осмым дивом», то есть 8 чудом света. Высота некоторых палат достигала 30 метров, а общая площадь ансамбля составляет более 7000 кв. метров. Первое впечатление от постройки – это праздничное настроение и радость, которые стремились выразить мастера. Окна украшены резными деревянными наличниками с цветными деталями, использована отделка тесом, имитирующим камень. Оконные и дверные карнизы также удивляют замысловатой резьбой. Множество декоративных элементов и витражи придавали строению нарядный праздничный вид. Дворец имел ассиметричную планировку и состоял из множества разновеликих клетей, соединённых сенями и переходами. Дворец был разделён на две половины - мужскую и женскую. Всего во Дворце насчитывалось около 260 комнат. Эту загородную резиденцию любили посещать все царствующие особы. Здесь часто бывали и Пётр I, и Софья Алексеевна, но чаще других сюда приезжала и подолгу жила мать Петра I Наталья Кирилловна. Во дворце было около 3000 окошек. Украшению окон было уделено особое внимание.
Коломенский музей: Большой дворец внутреннее убранство
Экспозиция размещена в 24-х воссозданных интерьерах Хором Государя царя, Хором Государыни царицы и Хором царевичей, художественный образ каждого из них строится на основе взаимодействия архитектуры и убранства с функциями помещения: парадные залы для проведения торжественных приемов, пиров и празднеств, личные жилые покои.
Куда сходить в Москве в Коломенском во время экскурсии: Вы можете осмотреть постройку, а также музей и ознакомиться с бытом и укладом жизни царской семьи. Вы осмотрите кабинет царя Алексея Михайловича и комнату царевича Федора, кабинет Петра Первого и самое большое, торжественно оформленное помещение - Столовые палаты. В Думной палате обсуждались важные дела, а в Престольной палате царь принимал гостей. Многие предметы интерьера, иконы и гобелены являются подлинными, созданными мастерами XVII и XVIII веков.
Большой дворец (Коломенское музей заповедник) открыт для посетителей вторник–воскресенье с 10.00 до 18.00, выходной день – понедельник

SUMMARY
=======
Russia (Russian: Росси́я, tr. Rossiya, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijə]), officially the Russian Federation (Russian: Росси́йская Федера́ция, tr. Rossiyskaya Federatsiya, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijskəjə fʲɪdʲɪˈratsɨjə]), is a country in Eurasia. At 17,125,200 square kilometres (6,612,100 sq mi), Russia is the largest country in the world by area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area, and the ninth most populous, with about 144.5 million people as of 2018, excluding Crimea. About 77% of the population live in the western, European part of the country. Russia's capital, Moscow, is the largest metropolitan area in Europe proper and one of the largest cities in the world; other major cities include Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Nizhny Novgorod. Extending across the entirety of Northern Asia and much of Eastern Europe, Russia spans eleven time zones and incorporates a wide range of environments and landforms. From northwest to southeast, Russia shares land borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (both with Kaliningrad Oblast), Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and North Korea. It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait. However, Russia recognises two more countries that border it, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, both of which are internationally recognized as parts of Georgia.
The East Slavs emerged as a recognizable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. Founded and ruled by a Varangian warrior elite and their descendants, the medieval state of Rus arose in the 9th century. In 988 it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire, beginning the synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the next millennium. Rus' ultimately disintegrated into a number of smaller states; most of the Rus' lands were overrun by the Mongol invasion and became tributaries of the nomadic Golden Horde in the 13th century. The Grand Duchy of Moscow gradually reunified the surrounding Russian principalities, achieved independence from the Golden Horde. By the 18th century, the nation had greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the Russian Empire, which was the third largest empire in history, stretching from Poland on the west to Alaska on th ...

From northwest to southeast, Russia shares land borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (both with Kaliningrad Oblast), Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and North Korea. It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait.

SUMMARY
=======
The Slavic Native Faith, also known as Rodnovery, is a modern Pagan religion. Classified as a new religious movement, its practitioners harken back to the historical belief systems of the Slavic peoples of Central and Eastern Europe. Rodnovery is a widely accepted self-descriptor within the community, although there are Rodnover organisations which further characterise the religion as Orthodoxy, Old Belief and Vedism.
Rodnovers typically regard their religion as a faithful continuation of ancient beliefs that survived as folk religion or as conscious double belief following the Christianisation of the Slavs in the Middle Ages. Rodnovery draws upon surviving historical and archaeological sources, folk religion and even non-Slavic sources such as Hinduism. Rodnover theology and cosmology may be described as pantheism and polytheism—worship of the supreme God of the universe and of the multiple gods, ancestors and spirits of nature identified through Slavic culture. Adherents usually meet together in groups to conduct religious ceremonies. These typically entail the invocation of gods, sacrifices and the pouring of libations, dances and a communal meal.
Rodnover ethical thinking emphasises the good of the collective over the rights of the individual. The religion is patriarchal, and attitudes towards sex and gender are generally conservative. Rodnovery has developed distinctive strains of political and identitary philosophy. Rodnover organisations often characterise themselves as ethnic religions, emphasising that the religion is bound to Slavic ethnicity. This often manifests as ethnic nationalism, opposition to miscegenation and the belief in the fundamental difference of racial groups. Rodnovers often glorify Slavic history, criticising the impact of Christianity in Slavic countries and arguing that these nations will play a central place in the world's future. Rodnovers share a strong feeling that their religion represents a paradigmatic shift which will overcome Western thought and what they call mono-ideologies.
The contemporary organised Rodnovery movement arose from a multiplicity of sources and charismatic leaders just at the brink of the collapse of the Soviet Union and spread rapidly by the mid-1990s and the 2000s. Antecedents are to be found in late 18th- and 19th-century Slavic Romanticism, which glorified the pre-Christian beliefs of Slavic societies. Active religious practitioners devoted to establishing Slavic Native Faith appeared in Poland and Ukraine in the 1930s and 1940s. Following the Second World War and the establishment of communist states throughout the Eastern Bloc, new variants were established by Slavic emigrants living in Western countries, being later introduced in Central and Eastern European countries after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In recent times, the movement has been increasingly studied in academic scholarship.
