The enduring appeal of the Matryoshka doll
(4 Aug 2017) LEADIN
The Matryoshka doll is one of Russia's most iconic souvenirs.
One of the best know versions comes from the town of Semenov where just one hand made doll takes 7 days to make.
STORYLINE
A life-sized Matryoshka doll stands on a plinth. With her famous headscarf, rosy cheeks and long eye-lashes, the Russian nesting doll is recognised the world over.
First made at the beginning of the 19th century the doll, which contains 6 smaller versions of itself, is a much loved child's toy and a popular souvenir.
Handmade, no two Matryoshkas are identical. The word Matryoshka is a diminutive of the female name Matrena, which comes from the Latin word matron, meaning mother.
Speaking as a whole the Matryoshka is the symbol of motherhood, it is the symbol of womanhood. Truly what today we call the 'Russian Spirit', says Alena Shapovalova, an historian from the Art History Museum of Semenov.
The Semenov Matryoshka doll is probably one of the best known of the dolls. Made by hand in the town of Semenov in the Nizhny Novgorod region it takes at least 7 days to make just one.
It goes through numerous hands during the process, from making to painting and polishing.
The painting process alone involves the painstaking work of several painters in three stages, each applying a new layer.
The first artist applies the features to the Matryoshka doll, that means she draws the face, the hands, the headscarf, the Sarafan (traditional Russian/ Slavic attire). The Matryoshka doll ends up looking like this. The next operation is taken up by the covering painter and she begins to cover the Matryoshka doll. Our traditional Matryoshka doll has a yellow headscarf and red Sarafan. Also we have this little pattern here we call the chessboard. It is our traditional trademark. After the Matryoshka doll has been covered and touched up, the next painter takes it up in her hands and begins to paint the flowers. She fills out the apron with flowers, so it looks like the Matryoshka doll is holding a bouquet in her hands and also the edge of the headscarf, explains Matryoshka painter Irina Kosterina.
All the hard work is definitely worth it as they continue to delight and intrigue tourists from all over the world.
In the States we don't have them typically, you know, explains US tourist Jamie Fishenberry. So that is something, at least for Americans, we think of tourists, souvenirs, they are really common, very popular.
Meanwhile Indian tourist Panjali Mukhaji says: If I am going back to my home I would like to take a Matryoshka from here because it represents Russia traditionally.

בדיוק לפני שנה בראש השנה 2012 התארחתי ב-
The 2-nd Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art
בעיר יקטרינבורג (ekaterinburg) על גבול סיביר. המארחים לקחו אותה לעיירה ושמה Nizhny Tagil שם בטקס חנוכה של תערוכת ציורים הופיעה להקת הגבעטרון בפורמט רוסי-סיבירי. תהנו מהמוזיקה והאקורדיון.
Nizhny Tagil (Russian: Нижний Тагил, IPA: [ˈnʲiʐnʲɪj tɐˈgʲil]) is a city in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, located 25 kilometers (16 mi) east of the virtual border between Europe and Asia
The history of Nizhny Tagil begins with the opening of the Vysokogorsky iron ore quarry in 1696. The deposits were particularly rich, and included lodes of pure magnetic iron. The surrounding landscape provided everything needed for a successful and productive mining and smelting operation — rivers for transport, forests for fuel, and suitable climate.
The city itself was legally founded in October 1722 among settlements connected to the construction of the Vyysky copper smelting plant, owned by Nikolay Demidov.[citation needed] Over the following decades, the city developed as one of the early centers of Russian industrialization, and it has been a major producer of cast iron and steel.
The first Russian steam locomotive was constructed there in 1833, and the father-and-son engineers who developed it, Ye.A. and M.Ye. Cherepanov (Черепанов), were in 1956 commemorated by an 8-meter (26 ft) bronze statue (executed by sculptor A. S. Kondratyev and architect A. V. Sotnikov) which stands in the center of the Theatrical Square in the heart of downtown.
Town status was granted to Nizhny Tagil in 1919.[citation needed]
According to some sources, the copper for the skin of the Statue of Liberty was mined and refined in Nizhny Tagil.
Nizhny Tagil is known for its decorative trays. Demidovs' initiatives in the area of culture had a favorable influence on the development of Tagil community into the Urals' most important cultural center. In the 19th century, a library and the museum of natural history and antiquity were opened.
Nizhny Tagil has a wide network of 28 libraries servicing 75,000 readers every year. Tagil museums include the old regional history museum, the museum of Fine Arts, and a number of new museums opened in the 1990s: the museum of tray painting art, the museum of lifestyle and handicrafts representing the starting point of a new ethnographic complex.
The Demidov Park, a new cultural and historical project, is planned to be built in the city. Nizhny Tagil has been repeatedly chosen to host international Urals' Industrial Heritage conferences and workshops.
Nizhny Tagil theatrical life is represented by three professional theaters: the National D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak Academic Drama Theater, a puppet theater, community theaters, and the actor department of Nizhny Tagil College of Arts, which has been training actors and actresses for Nizhny Tagil and oblast scenes for two years.
A number of famous musicians studied in the Nizhny Tagil College of Arts, including Mikhail Kuritsky, a cellist, and Boris Levantovich, a pianist.
Several Maximum-security prisons surround the town, and most town residents have close connections to them. When prisoners are released from the prisons, they are not given their train fare, and most remain in the town

Russian Art - 1 Architecture: Kievan Rus' Period
First video about the Russian Art serie. Any doubt? Send me a message.
Historia del Arte:
Land of the Art:
Russian culture is an hybrid generated from habits of many civilizations that shaped this great multicultural state, and it is the result of its development for several centuries, being deeply rooted in the culture of the first eastern slavs.
The Kievan Rus' is the ancient state formed by the slav tribes of the actuals Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. This artistic period is between 988-1230. The great churches were built after the adoption of christianism. The style is similar to the byzantine. These orthodox churches were built mainly of wood.
Saint Sophia of Novgorod: already mentioned in byzantine art. It has five stone domes. It was built by Vladimir of Novgorod in honor to his father, Yaroslav I the Wise, as a sign of gratitude of the people of Novgorod for his help in the conflict of Yaroslav in the Kievan Rus'.
Yuriev Monastery: also called St. George Cathedral, was built by prince Vsevolod Mstislavovich. It has narrow windows and frescoes in the interior depicting the prince. It is one of the biggest buildings of Novgorod.
Golden Gate of Vladimir: this is the only thing that survived after the siege of the mongols. It is said that in XVIII century, Catherine II the Great was scared to go through it fearing that it could fall. The vaults and the barbican were destroyed and were built two circled towers.
Church of the Intercession on River Nerl: built with white stone, it has a dome with four columns in the interior. Elongated proportions with dark interior. Built by Andréi Bogoliubski to commemorate his son, who was murdered. In spring it is flooded and it seems it is floating.
Dormition Cathedral of Vladimir: also called of the Intercession, was commissioned by Andrei Bogoliubski for Virgin Mary, saint patron of Vladimir.
Kiev Pechersk Lavra: I added this complex too, also called Kiev Monastery of the Caves. The beginning is in 1051 in the reign of Yaroslavl I. The princes of Kiev supported the construction. It has many buildings, among them, I also added the Dormition cathedral. Soon it will be the most important building of Kievan Rus'.

RT explores Kaliningrad, Russia's exclave (2012)
Summery:The last part of tourism documentary series made by Russia Today. It explores the various charms of Kalinigrad, with its historical background. The region is famous for amber production and its craft, and the city Kaliningrad is also famous as the place where Immanuel Kant lived. The richness of various styles of architecture is also notable. Reporter seems to have enjoyed the shooting as a summer vacation.
The following is the short introduction by RT: The Kaliningrad region is truly a unique part of Russia. The country's westernmost point, it shares no borders with the rest of the mainland and is surrounded by the Baltic Sea, Poland and Lithuania. Annexed at the end of World War II, the region used to be part of East Prussia. It was famed as a centre of culture and commerce, the home of philosopher Immanuel Kant and the world's largest producer of raw amber. There have been many changes in the past few decades but the original German history and flavor is still very present. The centre of the capital, Kaliningrad, is a mix of waterways, parks and broad avenues that incorporate both modern and medieval architecture.
First impressions? This is a city that's doing very well for itself, and I was eager to find out more

Astrakhan, 2014.
Historical information:
Pleasure yacht was constructed in 1722 by the Kazan Admiralty for imperial needs in Astrakhan and for use in the Persian trip at the Caspian Sea.
On July 18, 1722 Peter the Great on Plaisir yacht passed in review of the ships of newly created Caspian flotilla headed by the flotilla's general admiral count Apraksin M. F.
On indirect limitation the yacht took part in Peter's Persian trip and was called Experanec (Hope). 1724 the yacht was turned in for storage to the military port. 1824 it was restored.
Later in 1871 it was constructed the Petrovsky museum house for Plaisir yacht and wherry on the Admiralty (nowadays Volga) backwater at anniversary celebration of the 200 birth of Peter the Great.
1896 it was decided to send Plaisir yacht to the All-Russian industrial exhibition to Nizhny Novgorod where it was exposed in Navigation and Shipbuilding History pavilion.
1927 the Astrakhan City Council has decided to demolish the Petrovsky museum house because of decay. It wanted to place the Plaisir yacht in the District (Local history) museum, but it didn't pass in a door.
The destiny of an exhibit is unknown after 1927. It is possible the yacht strongly decayed in the museum yard in the open air and was utilized.
During the reconstruction of the Astrakhan Local History Museum in 2012, the local masters restored the stern part and carved decoration of a side according to photos. Now it is exhibited at the section of the Petrovsky period of the museum.

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.
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 the east.Following the Russian Revolution, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic became the largest and leading constituent of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the world's first constitutionally socialist state. The Soviet Union played a decisive role in the Allied victory in World War II, and emerged as a recognized superpower and rival to the United States during the Cold War. The Soviet era saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first human-made satellite and the launching of the first humans in space. By the end of 1990, the Soviet Union had the world's second largest economy, largest standing military in the world and the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, twelve independent republics emerged from the USSR: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and the Baltic states regained independence: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania; the Russian SFSR reconstituted itself as the Russian Federation and is recognized as the continuing legal personality and a successor of the Soviet Union. It is governed as a federal semi-presidential republic.
Russia's economy ranks as the twelfth largest by nominal GDP and sixth largest by purchasing power parity in 2015. Russia's extensive mineral and energy resources are the largest such reserves in the world, making it one of the leading producers of oil and natural gas globally. The country is one of the five recognized nuclear weapons states and possesses the largest stockpile of weapons ...

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! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

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 ...

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 the east.Following the Russian Revolution, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic became the largest and leading constituent of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the world's first constitutionally socialist state. The Soviet Union played a decisive role in the Allied victory in World War II, and emerged as a recognized superpower and rival to the United States during the Cold War. The Soviet era saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first human-made satellite and the launching of the first humans in space. By the end of 1990, the Soviet Union had the world's second largest economy, largest standing military in the world and the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, twelve independent republics emerged from the USSR: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and the Baltic states regained independence: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania; the Russian SFSR reconstituted itself as the Russian Federation and is recognized as the continuing legal personality and a successor of the Soviet Union. It is governed as a federal semi-presidential republic.
Russia's economy ranks as the twelfth largest by nominal GDP and sixth largest by purchasing power parity in 2015. Russia's extensive mineral and energy resources are the largest such reserves in the world, making it one of the leading producers of oil and natural gas globally. The country is one of the five recognized nuclear weapons states and possesses the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Russia is a great power as well as a regional power and has b ...
