4K Russia | Peter-Pavel's Cathedral tour | Saint Petersburg | Peter-Pavel's Fortress
Peter and Paul Cathedral (the official name is the Cathedral in the name of the supreme apostles Peter and Paul) is the Orthodox Cathedral in St. Petersburg in the Peter and Paul Fortress, the tomb of Russian emperors, an architectural monument of Peter the Great Baroque. From 1733 to 2012, the cathedral with a height of 122.5 m was the tallest building in St. Petersburg, and until 1952 it was the tallest in Russia.
In 1703, Peter the Great laid the Peter and Paul Fortress on the Gulf of Finland. Peter understood that the new Russia needed an architecture capable of expressing the ideas of the time. In an effort to strengthen the dominant position of the young capital among the cities of Russia, the sovereign conceived a new structure that would rise above the bell tower of Ivan the Great and the Menshikov Tower. The new temple was to become the most significant building of the capital and be in the heart of the Peter and Paul Fortress.
The custom of burying members of the ruling dynasty in temples was based on the idea of the divine origin of their power. In pre-Petrine Russia, the temple tomb was the Archangel Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin, all the great Moscow princes and tsars from John Kalita to John V Alekseevich were buried there.
During the time of Peter I, the burial place of persons belonging to the royal family was not finally determined. Tsar’s relatives were buried in the Annunciation tomb. In the unfinished Peter and Paul Cathedral in 1715, the two-year-old daughter of Peter I and Catherine Natalia was buried, and under the bell tower - the wife of Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich Princess Charlotte Christina Sophia Braunschweig-Wolfenbuttelskaya (1694-1715). In the same place, in 1718, the remains of the prince himself were interred. In 1716, Marfa Matveevna, the widow of Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich, was buried at the entrance to the cathedral.
After Peter I, the coffin with his body was placed in a temporary chapel inside the cathedral under construction. The burial took place only on May 29, 1731. Subsequently, all the emperors and empresses were buried in the tomb up to Alexander III, inclusive, with the exception of Peter II.
In 1831, Emperor Nicholas I ordered his brother Konstantin Pavlovich to be buried in the cathedral. Since that time, close relatives of emperors have been buried in the cathedral.
In 1865, all the tombstones were replaced by the same type of white marble sarcophagus with gilded bronze crosses (architects A. A. Poirot). Imperial sarcophagi decorated with double-headed eagles. Two sarcophagi made at the Peterhof lapidary factory. In 1887-1906, by order of Alexander III, sarcophagi were made for the emperor’s parents: the sarcophagus of Alexander II from green jasper and the sarcophagus of Empress Maria Alexandrovna from the pink orlets.
March 13, 1990, on the day of the 109th anniversary of the de..th of Emperor Alexander II, for the first time in the years of Soviet power, a memorial service was served for the Tsar-Liberator.
On July 17, 1998, in the Catherine’s chapel, in the southwestern part of the cathedral, the remains were buried, according to the conclusion of the State Commission, belonging to Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra Fedorovna, Grand Duchesses Tatyana, Olga and Anastasia, who were ki..ed in Yekaterinburg in 1918. These remains were not recognized by the Russian Orthodox Church. Together with them, the life doctor E.S. Botkin, the lackey A.E. Troupp, the cook I.M. Kharitonov, the maid A.S. Demidov were buried.

Peter the Great Statue, Moscow - Памятник Петру I
The 98-meter-high monument
Moscow river boat tour on August 9, 2014 Russia
Moscow river boat tour on August 9, 2014 Russia
The Peter the Great Statue is a 98-metre-high monument to Peter the Great, located at the western confluence of the Moskva River and the Vodootvodny Canal in central Moscow. It was designed by the Georgian designer Zurab Tsereteli to commemorate 300 years of the Russian Navy, which Peter the Great established. It was erected in 1997 and is the eighth tallest statue in the world. It weighs around 1,000 tons and contains 600 tons of stainless steel, bronze and copper.
Since its inception, the statue has courted controversy. In November 2008, it was voted the tenth ugliest building in the world by Virtual Tourist. In 2010, it was included in a list of the world's ugliest statues by Foreign Policy magazine. Lonely Planet commented: Questions of taste aside, Muscovites were sceptical about the whole idea: why pay tribute to Peter the Great, who loathed Moscow and moved the capital to St Petersburg?
The designer Zurab Tsereteli is known as a friend and favorite of Moscow's former Mayor Yury Luzhkov, and the artist received a number of municipal art commissions under his patronage, such as the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Manege Square ensemble and the War Memorial Complex on Poklonnaya Gora. In October 2010, following Luzhkov's departure from office, Moscow authorities, reportedly keen to get rid of the Peter the Great statue, offered to relocate it to Saint Petersburg, but this offer was refused by the city. Authorities in Arkhangelsk and Petrozavodsk have offered to accept the monument.
The statue is allegedly based on a design originally intended to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the first voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1992. When an American customer for the project could not be found, it was repurposed with a Russian theme. Tsereteli denies this story. A separate, equally colossal statue of Columbus by the same designer eventually wound up in Puerto Rico after being rejected by various US cities, but, as of 2011, remains disassembled.

The Moscow Kremlin (Russian: Моско́вский Кремль, tr. Moskovskiy Kreml; IPA: [mɐˈskofskʲɪj krʲemlʲ]), usually referred to as simply the Kremlin, is a historic fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, overlooking the Moskva River to the south, Saint Basil's Cathedral and Red Square to the east, and the Alexander Garden to the west. It is the best known of kremlins (Russian citadels) and includes five palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. The complex serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation.
The name Kremlin means fortress inside a city, and is often used as a metonym to refer to the government of the Russian Federation in a similar sense to how the White House is used to refer to the Executive Office of the President of the United States. Indeed, even the Russian president's official website is Kremlin.ru. It had previously been used to refer to the government of the Soviet Union (1922–1991) and its highest members (such as general secretaries, premiers, presidents, ministers, and commissars). Kremlinology refers to the study of Soviet and Russian politics.

여행에서 절대 빼놓을 수 없는 필수 코스, 재래시장! 엄청난 규모의 푸줏간이었지만 냉동고 하나 없는 게 신기했다. 이유는 신선함에 있었다. 그날 잡은 고기만을 바로 판매하고 있는 것이다. 시장의 풍요로운 모습을 보면서 나는 비로소 소치 사람들을 만났다는 생각이 드는 건 왜일까? 산수유처럼 생긴 열매는 아주 신맛으로 캄포트 쥬스를 만든다. 자두도 있다. 마치 예술작품을 만들 듯이 포장되는 향신료는 시장에서 나는 삶의 향기를 그대로 담아내고 있었다. 흑해에서는 어떤 생선이 날까? 조기를 닮았다. 흑해가 아닌 아조프해에서 잡은 바다잉어라고 한다. 꽃은 소치의 특산물로 아주 유명했다. “여기 있는 신선하고 좋은 장미는 전부 소치에서 직접 재배한 것으로 이 꽃 모두 이 지역 것이죠.“ 보라색 장미는 정말 예뻤다. 러시아 최고 인기가수 필립도 보라색 장미를 들고 있을 만큼 인기라며 자랑이다. 난생 처음 받아 본 보라 장미, 한 송이! 감동이다!

Palace Bridge — Saint Petersburg - Neva River:2019
After Emperor Nicholas I lifted Peter the Great's prohibition to construct bridges across the Neva, a temporary pontoon bridge was set up about 50 metres downstream from the current structure.
Construction of the cast-iron bridge was started in 1912 to designs by Andrey Pshenitsky, but the work was delayed by World War I and the bridge was not opened to the public until December 23, 1916. The history leading up to the construction of this bridge was tortuous with 54 proposed designs rejected between 1901 and 1911. The design was subject to strict controls so as to prevent the bridge from obstructing the view from Palace Embankment towards Kunstkammer, Imperial Academy of Arts, and other structures on Vasilievsky Island.
During the October Revolution the bridge was singled out as one of the principal sites to be occupied by the insurrectionists in order to control the city, it was taken without any fighting.
A year after its inauguration, the bridge was renamed Republican Bridge (Russian: Республика́нский мост), but the original name was restored in 1952. Various improvements and embellishments of the structure continued well into the Soviet times. In 1967, the bridge was repaired. The tramway tracks were removed in 1998.
A proponent of westernising Russia, Peter the Great, who established the city, originally named it Sankt-Peterburg (Russian: Санкт-Петербург;[a] note the Russian name lacks the letter s between Peter and burg).On 1 September 1914, after the outbreak of World War I, the Imperial government renamed the city Petrograd (Russian: Петрогра́д[a], IPA: [pʲɪtrɐˈgrat]), meaning Peter's city, in order to expunge the German words Sankt and Burg. On 26 January 1924, shortly after the death of Vladimir Lenin, it was renamed to Leningrad (Russian: Ленингра́д, IPA: [lʲɪnʲɪnˈgrat]), meaning Lenin's City. On 6 September 1991, the original name, Sankt-Peterburg, was returned. Today, in English the city is known as Saint Petersburg. Local residents often refer to the city by its shortened nickname, Piter (Russian: Пи́тер, IPA: [ˈpʲitʲɪr]).
The city's traditional nicknames among Russians are the Window to the West and the Window to Europe. The northernmost metropolis in the world, St. Petersburg is often called the Venice of the North or Russian Venice due to its many water corridors, as the city is built on swamp and water. Furthermore, St. Petersburg has strongly European-inspired architecture and culture, which is combined with the city's Russian heritage.Another nickname of St. Petersburg is The City of White Nights because of a natural phenomenon which arises due to the closeness to the polar region and ensures that in summer the nights of the city do not get completely dark for a month.[18][19] Just as Venice is associated with romance, in St. Petersburg the White Nights have a high value for love couples.
Imperial era (1703–1917)
The Bronze Horseman, monument to Peter the Great
Swedish colonists built Nyenskans, a fortress at the mouth of the Neva River in 1611, in what was then called Ingermanland, which was inhabited by Finnic tribe of Ingrians. The small town of Nyen grew up around it.
At the end of the 17th century, Peter the Great, who was interested in seafaring and maritime affairs, wanted Russia to gain a seaport to trade with the rest of Europe.He needed a better seaport than the country's main one at the time, Arkhangelsk, which was on the White Sea in the far north and closed to shipping during the winter.
Street leads to St. Nicholas Maritime Cathedral
On 12 May 1703, during the Great Northern War, Peter the Great captured Nyenskans and soon replaced the fortress. On 27 May [O.S. 16 May] 1703, closer to the estuary 5 km (3 mi) inland from the gulf),[clarification needed] on Zayachy (Hare) Island, he laid down the Peter and Paul Fortress, which became the first brick and stone building of the new city.
The city was built by conscripted peasants from all over Russia; a number of Swedish prisoners of war were also involved in some years under the supervision of Alexander Menshikov.Tens of thousands of serfs died building the city.[26] Later, the city became the centre of the Saint Petersburg Governorate. Peter moved the capital from Moscow to Saint Petersburg in 1712, 9 years before the Treaty of Nystad of 1721 ended the war; he referred to Saint Petersburg as the capital (or seat of government) as early as 1704.
Map of Saint Petersburg, 1744
During its first few years, the city developed around Trinity Square on the right bank of the Neva, near the Peter and Paul Fortress. However, Saint Petersburg soon started to be built out according to a plan.

Archangel - A Travel To See Best Places Of Arkhangelsk or Archangel in Russia
Archangel, sometime Arkhangelsk, is a city and the administrative center of Arkhangelsk Oblast, in the north of European Russia. It lies on both banks of the Northern Dvina River near its exit into the White Sea.
In the 17th century Arkhangelsk was immensely important as Russia’s only seaport and in 1693 Peter the Great began shipbuilding operations here, launching the Russian navy’s tiny first ship, the Svyatoy Pavel, the following year. Though the founding of St Petersburg in 1703 pushed Arkhangelsk out of the limelight, it later became a center for Arctic exploration, a core of the huge northern lumber industry and a crucial supply point during the 20th-century world wars.
Only a few historical timber houses remain from the city's heyday, but there's a cosmopolitan charm to the city's parks and waterfront promenade, and Arkhangelsk's lively jazz scene and smattering of good restaurants make it a great stopover en route to two of the region's big attractions: the Solovetsky Islands and the beautifully preserved wooden architecture of Malye Korely.
Arkhangelsk was also the dystopian setting for much of Robert Harris's dark novel Archangel, and fans of the book may find themselves feeling decidedly jumpy at the sight of Stalin-like shadows in the nearby forest.

Saint Petersburg is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow, with 5 million inhabitants in 2012, part of the Saint Petersburg agglomeration with a population of 6.2 million (2015). An important Russian port on the Baltic Sea, it has a status of a federal subject (a federal city).
Situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, it was founded by Tsar Peter the Great on 27 May [O.S. 16 May] 1703. On 1 September 1914, the name was changed from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd, on 26 January 1924 to Leningrad, and on 1 October 1991 back to its original name. During the periods 1713–1728 and 1732–1918, Saint Petersburg was the capital of Imperial Russia. In 1918, the central government bodies moved to Moscow, which is about 625 km (388 miles) to the south-east.
Saint Petersburg is one of the most modern cities of Russia, as well as its cultural capital. The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world. Many foreign consulates, international corporations, banks and businesses have offices in Saint Petersburg.
Saint Petersburg has a significant historical and cultural heritage.
The 18th and 19th-century architectural ensemble of the city and its environs is preserved in virtually unchanged form. For various reasons (including large-scale destruction during World War II and construction of modern buildings during the postwar period in the largest historical centers of Europe), Saint Petersburg has become a unique reserve of European architectural styles of the past three centuries. Saint Petersburg's loss of capital city status helped the city to retain many of its pre-revolutionary buildings, as modern architectural 'prestige projects' tended to be built in Moscow; this largely prevented the rise of mid-to-late-20th-century architecture and helped maintain the architectural appearance of the historic city center.
Saint Petersburg is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list as an area with 36 historical architectural complexes and around 4000 outstanding individual monuments of architecture, history and culture. New tourist programs and sightseeing tours have been developed for those wishing to see Saint Petersburg's cultural heritage.
The city has 221 museums, 2000 libraries, more than 80 theaters, 100 concert organizations, 45 galleries and exhibition halls, 62 cinemas and around 80 other cultural establishments. Every year the city hosts around 100 festivals and various competitions of art and culture, including more than 50 international ones.
Despite the economic instability of the 1990s, not a single major theatre or museum was closed in Saint Petersburg; on the contrary many new ones opened, for example a private museum of puppets (opened in 1999) is the third museum of its kind in Russia, where collections of more than 2000 dolls are presented including 'The multinational Saint Petersburg' and 'Pushkin's Petersburg'. The museum world of Saint Petersburg is incredibly diverse. The city is not only home to the world-famous Hermitage Museum and the Russian Museum with its rich collection of Russian art, but also the palaces of Saint Petersburg and its suburbs, so-called small town museums and others like the museum of famous Russian writer Dostoyevsky; Museum of Musical Instruments, the museum of decorative arts and the museum of professional orientation.
The musical life of Saint Petersburg is rich and diverse, with the city now playing host to a number of annual carnivals.
Ballet performances occupy a special place in the cultural life of Saint Petersburg. The Petersburg School of Ballet is named as one of the best in the world. Traditions of the Russian classical school have been passed down from generation to generation among outstanding educators. The art of famous and prominent Saint Petersburg dancers like Rudolf Nureyev, Natalia Makarova, Mikhail Baryshnikov was, and is, admired throughout the world. Contemporary Petersburg ballet is made up not only of traditional Russian classical school, but also ballets by those like Boris Eifman, who expanded the scope of strict classical Russian ballet to almost unimaginable limits. Remaining faithful to the classical basis (he was a choreographer at the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet), he combined classical ballet with the avant-garde style, and then, in turn, with acrobatics, rhythmic gymnastics, dramatic expressiveness, cinema, color, light, and finally with spoken word.

10 Best Places to Visit in Russia.
Russia, once the largest and most powerful member of the former USSR, nonetheless remains a fascinating country to visit. It is a country of contrasts, from great subtropical beaches to bitterly cold winter regions in the north. The east may have fewer people, but its lovely cities are among the most popular places to visit in Russia and can hold their own against the west. Russia is steeped in history everywhere a traveler goes, from vicious battles to great classical music and literature. And almost everywhere visitors can see examples of magnificent art, not only in museums but also in its churches.

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.
