Pyatak Prison: The Russian Alcatraz
About 460 km north of Moscow, in the Vologda province, a small lake rests among a sprawling woodland. The lake is called Novozero and its middle stands an island called Ognenny Ostrov. Despite its name meaning “Fiery Island” or “Fire Island”, it is surrounded by ice most of the year, connected to the mainland only by a narrow bridge.

Remote monastery blown up by Soviets restored by parachuters
(27 Jul 2019) LEAD IN:
A remote monastery on a tiny island in the middle of a Russian lake is being rebuilt by volunteers who parachute onto the island each year.
One of the oldest churches in northern Russia, the Spaso Kamenny Monastery was blown up by the Soviet Regime in the 1930's.
For the past decade the parachuters have been painstakingly restoring it to its former glory.
STORY-LINE
Kubensky Lake, northern Russia.
On this small island in the north of Russia, about 5 kilometres from the Vologda Oblast mainland, sits one of the oldest monasteries in the country, and one of the first to be built in stone.
Located in Kubensky lake the Spaso Kamenny Monastery - or 'Saviour on Stone' has weathered many storms during its 760 year history.
Apart from some outbuildings housing church equipment and a temporary eating area, the monastery is the sole occupant of this 120 by 70 metre island island.
A handful of visitors come during the summer months - either to visit this magnificent building or to attend services which restarted in 2010 - along with a restoration programme,
In 2010, when the 750th anniversary of the monastery was celebrated, a refectory church was built and the bell tower was restored, and the Liturgy began to be celebrated, says resident abbot, Father Dionisy Vozdvizhensky.
As legend has it, in 1260 the Prince of Belozersk was washed up onto the island's shore following a storm. At the time, the island was inhabited by hermits.
To show his gratitude, he ordered the construction of a wooden church.
It is a very famous monastery, very significant in a history, which had a large number of followers. Such a place can't be forgotten. Because holy patrons of the monastery didn't forget it, they pray for this place, explains Vozdvizhensky.
In 1774, a powerful fire destroyed almost all of the wooden buildings, after which the monastery remained closed until it was rebuilt in 1801.
In 1925, during the Soviet regime, the monastery was transformed into a prison, but 12 years later that too was closed down and the building was blown up.
Locals say it was done to get bricks for the construction of the local house of culture.
However, an attempt to remove the building material from the island was not successful. The wreckage of the old monastery lies to this day on the island.
Since 1991, a group of enthusiasts backed by heritage funding and under the guidance of a Vologda resident, Alexander (Sasha) Pligin began the restoration of the Spaso-Kamenny monastery.
The restoration continues to this day.
There were ruins because a long time ago someone blew it up (monastery) on the island, which was called Spas-Kamen. Sasha Pligin (a paratrooper and volunteer restoring the monastery) was coming and restoring it. I remember him and other men on tractors dragging some equipment there. The water was flooding everything and it was necessary to get onto the island, says Oleg Boikov, senior instructor of Vologda flying club.
Pligin was parachuter and in memory of his work a number of restorers and members of the local parachute club jump to the island every year to mark the opening of the restoration season.
The fact that we make a jump almost every year is a tribute. A tribute to the man who is associated with parachuting, and with our history. This is why we make these jumps. says Evgeniy Shpakovskiy, a member of Vologda flying club.
After Pilgin's death in 2014, his widow Nadezhda Aleksandrovna continued his work restoring the monastery.

#10. 100 Чудес России. Кирилло-Белозерский монастырь

Кирилло-Белозерский монастырь (также Кириллов) монастырь — мужской православный монастырь Русской Церкви; расположен на Севере России, на берегу Сиверского озера, в черте современного города Кириллов Вологодской области. Монастырь основали монахи Кирилл Белозерский — последователь Сергия Радонежского и Ферапонт Белозерский в 1397 году. Первоначально был возведен Успенский собор артелью ростовских мастеров. В XVI веке рядом с ним появился малый Ивановский монастырь. В те времена монастырь был форпостом Московского государства во вражеских землях Новгородской республики.
Кирилло-Белозерский монастырь являлся крупным феодалом-землевладельцем. В XV—XVII веках вёл обширную торговлю, особенно солью и рыбой. В конце XV-XVI веков монастырь был одним из центров религиозно-политического течения нестяжателей. В XV—XVII веках монастырь служил местом заточения лиц из светской и церковно-феодальной знати. В последствии монастырь богател, разрастался и несмотря на большой пожар в 1557 году стал крупнейшим каменным сооружением, уступавшим разве что Троице-Сергиевому монастырю. В 1764 году указом Екатерины II монастырь был лишен крестьян и угодий. В 1776 году из монастырской слободы образован город Кириллов и в крепостной стене размещается городская и уездная тюрьма. С этого момента начинается постепенный закат монастыря. Одно из самых древних и самых известных подворий монастыря было Кремлёвское Кирилловское подворье — подворье Кирилло-Белозерского монастыря в Московском Кремле. Подворье находилось недалеко от Фроловских ворот (ныне Спасская башня) при Афанасьевском монастыре. В 1770 году по случаю предложенного к сооружению проекта Баженовского дворца, Кирилловское подворье в Кремле было упразднено, а потом в 1776 году и совсем разобрано. На месте подворья и расчищенных других дворов образовалась обширная площадь. В комплекс Кирилло-Белозерского монастыря входят ансамбли большого Успенского и Ивановского монастырей («Старый город»), «Нового города» и территория несохранившейся крепости Острог между ними. Монастырь окружен крепостными стенами с монументальными башнями, украшенными узорами из кирпича.
Putin, Propaganda and the media | VPRO Documentary
Is Putin’s propaganda omnipresent or is there still media freedom? Have the media been an extension of Putin's propaganda, or is there still media freedom in Russia? Is Putin using the media for his own propaganda or is media freedom something that Putin insists on? Is Putin’s influence visible in the media? A documentary about Putin, media freedom and the question if critical voices are still allowed.
In this eight-part travel series, the Dutch journalist and author Jelle Brandt Corstius travels through Russia and visits the neighbor countries Latvia, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. What image do the Russians have of their neighbors and vice versa? What are the relations between powerful Russia and the other former Soviet republics? And how do the countries around Russia treat their Russian inhabitants? A series about propaganda and identity.
Jelle Brandt Corstius investigates if the Kremlin has become Putins Propaganda machine. Is the television fully controlled by Putin, as critics say? Or is the information we receive in the West one-sided? The Dutch author visits Russian state television and talks with presenter and talk show host Vladimir Slovyov about his work and the tragedy of the shot down passenger aircraft MH17. He talks to a journalist who has worked as a troll to propagate for Putin and meets homosexual moderator Anton Krasovsky, who has outed himself and therefore lost his job.
In Russia media freedom seems not exist anymore. Television is in the hands of the Kremlin and critical journalists are shot dead. Corruption, mismanagement and a dirty war in the Caucasus – news that are not reported on television. Since the annexation of the Crimea it has become even worse: Not only is the truth not told, but replaced by news that belong to a propaganda strategy.

Нотр-Дам де Пари глазами российских реставраторов
Немного пофантазируем о том, кого бы мы могли отправить во Францию восстанавливать Нотр-Дама де Пари. Ведь Путин предложил отправить в Париж лучших российских реставраторов!
Может, «Сбербанк» отправит своих лучших людей в Париж? Или специалисты из РЖД? Будет всё по бренд-буку! Ладно, у нас есть ещё РПЦ вместе с синим профлистом, а ещё застройщики многоэтажек. Также есть вариант отправить мэра любого города — будет торговый центр с парковкой!
Как выглядит Париж без российский реставраторов:
Париж – не только Эйфелева башня
Париж: искусство создавать архитектуру
Реновация в Париже: хотели бы вы так жить?
Париж: новые районы и самый красивый в мире суд

Aletheia Unforgetting - Devon Church
Borderland - E4/8 - Below the Surface
In this series Jelle Brandt Corstius explores the border countries between Russia and Europe, from Latvia to Moldavia, West and East Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. What is the picture that the Russians and their neighbours have of each other, how are the relationships between powerful Russia and the other former Soviet republics? And how do the surrounding countries treat their Russian inhabitants? A series about propaganda and identity.
Episode 4: Below the surface
We stay in Russia, to look at the news provision, which plays a crucial role in the Ukraine conflict. Russian journalists are being killed, there are hardly any independent media, self-censorship takes place on a large scale. But then what do the Russians watch? And how are they brainwashed? Jelle Brandt Corstius dives into the world of the First Channel, the Kremlin propaganda channel. Is it a Putin mouthpiece, as critics claim? Or are we, in the West, perhaps too one-sided as well?

Lines Formed By Slaves In The Camps Of Life
Chains Of Sterile Beings Without Knowledge
And Perception
Freedom Of Expression Of Our Mental World
Is One Of The Foremost Goods For Normal Life
God Gives The Authority Of a God To The Wise Men
But Humans Are Twin-Track Existence
This Is Our Journey Which Will Never End
As we Will Start,There Is No Turning Back
There Is No Second Chance For Us
The Sun Cannot Burn Me Anymore
As The Ground Tries To Hold Me Down
The Oceans Are No Longer Enough
For Me To Quench My Thirst
The Need For Expression Is Too Necessary
As My Own Breath
Together Will Be Again As One
Forever We'll Be One
Give Me Your Hand, Give Me Your Blood
Destroy The Enemy And Banish Him
Into The Lungs Of Our Hell
As an Ancient Source Of Inspiration
A Grand Idea Which Is Strong And
Everlasting
Well Hidden In The Riddles And The Stones
Of That Age,Incarnates..Through Those Who Know
And Live In Reality
Shine And Light As They Come
Eternal Protection To Souls Of The Chosen Ones
Pain Will Be Enduring
Fear Is The Enemy Inside
Discounts To Approach Of God
The Giant Is Awake
Together Will Be Again As One
Forever We'll Be One
Give Your Hand, Give Me Your Blood
The Brave Ones Never Die
Together Will Be Again As One
Forever We'll Be One
Give Me Your Heart, Give Me Your Strength
On The Waves,As The Sun Is Going Down
Through The Clouds Like Something
That We Can't Understand
As Bright Paintings In The Sky In an Era
Which Slowly Fades Away
And Disappears Ingloriously
Together Will Be Again As One
Forever We'll Be One

Three years Audiobook by Anton Chekhov | Audiobook with subtitles
Laptev, the rich but unattractive scion of a merchant, renounces his independent-minded, intelligent, devoted, but equally unattractive mistress Polina in order to marry the beautiful young gold-digger Yulia. Their life together quickly deteriorates into a loveless agony, Laptev seeking some sort of meaning in his life while Yulia whiles away her youth with the sparkling young Moscow social scene. The compelling question of the story is whether or not Laptev and Yulia can redeem something of lasting value from what seems to be a hopelessly empty relationship. Here Chekhov again explores the subtle dilemmas of modern conventional marriage and its effects, both positive and negative, on the hapless humans caught up in it. (summary by Expatriate)
Genre(s): Literary Fiction

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
Mount Athos (; Greek: Άθως, Áthos [ˈaθos]) is a mountain and peninsula in northeastern Greece and an important centre of Eastern Orthodox monasticism. It is governed as an autonomous polity within the Greek Republic. Mount Athos is home to 20 monasteries under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
Mount Athos is commonly referred to in Greek as the Holy Mountain (Ἅγιον Ὄρος Hágion Óros) and the entity as the Athonite State (Αθωνική Πολιτεία, Athoniki Politia). Other languages of Orthodox tradition also use names translating to Holy Mountain (e.g. Bulgarian and Serbian Света гора Sveta gora, Russian Святая гора Svyatya gora, Georgian მთაწმინდა). In the classical era, while the mountain was called Athos, the peninsula was known as Acté or Akté (Ἀκτή).
Mount Athos has been inhabited since ancient times and is known for its nearly 1,800-year continuous Christian presence and its long historical monastic traditions, which date back to at least 800 A.D. and the Byzantine era. Today, over 2,000 monks from Greece and many other countries, including Eastern Orthodox countries such as Romania, Moldova, Georgia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Russia, live an ascetic life in Athos, isolated from the rest of the world. The Athonite monasteries feature a rich collection of well-preserved artifacts, rare books, ancient documents, and artworks of immense historical value, and Mount Athos has been listed as a World Heritage site since 1988.
Although Mount Athos is technically part of the European Union like the rest of Greece, the status of the Monastic State of the Holy Mountain, and the jurisdiction of the Athonite institutions, were expressly described and ratified upon admission of Greece to the European Community (precursor to the EU). The free movement of people and goods in its territory is prohibited, unless formal permission is granted by the Monastic State's authorities, and only males are allowed to enter.
