RUSSIA: MOSCOW: APARTMENT BLOCK ROCKED BY AN EXPLOSION
Natural Sound
A central Moscow apartment block was rocked by an explosion early Thursday morning.
The device was left outside a mock-British pub, the John Bull, which opened just three weeks ago.
Moscow police have not ruled out a Mafia connection.
Security was tight outside the damaged Moscow apartment block, after a bomb exploded in a pub on the ground floor on Thursday morning.
The English style pub, the John Bull appears to have been deliberately targeted.
Windows as far up as the sixth floor of the building which houses the pub were blown out.
While security guards outside the bombed-out building would not comment, the attack had all the hallmarks of a Mafia bombing.
Similar explosions are an everyday part of life in the new Russia, with businessmen unwilling to pay protection money the usual targets.

Russian politics. ''Duel'' talk show. Zhirinovsky vs Raihelgauz. ''Gorbachev'' (English subs)
FOR SUBTITLES TURN CAPTIONS (CC) ON.
One more episode of ''Duel'' talk show with Vladimir Zhirinovsky participating.
This time he is going against Iosif Raihelgauz, some movie and theater director I've never heard before. The subject of this show is: Michail Gorbachev, and the role he played, mainly in the collapse of the Soviet Union, but also about good and bad things he had done.
For Zhirinovsky, this subject is almost as painful as October Revolution of 1917. So, he is like usual using his style. I gotta say, that he have been on this show for so many times, his experience really counts. One of Raihelgauz's supporters made him angry, talking about things Zhirinovsky tired of hearing of, and when Zhirinovsky responds to him, you can see that his hands were actually shaking! Raihelgauz, on the other hand, seeing that he's losing, at one moment I think he was ready to start crying. But of course he is no match. I think Zhirinovsky even realized it and backed down a little.
The arbitrator was some historian that repeated everything twice for some reason. He reminded me Johny ''Two Times'' from ''Goodfellas'' - ''I'm gonna get the paper get the paper'' lol.
Well... And Soloviev as always in his style.
Oh, and keep your hand on ''Pause'' button. They often talk at the same time, so you might need a moment to read everything.
This show was aired live on 30/05/2013.
Enjoy!
Thanks for watching!

Remarks:
1. 6-th constitutional article of 1977: Ruling and directing force of Soviet society, core of its political system, state's and social organizations, is Communist Party of the Soviet Union. CPSU exists for people and serves people. Communist party defines general perspective of society, line of its foreign and domestic policy of the USSR, governing the great development activities of Soviet people, gives it planned and scientifically proven basis to its struggle for communism prevail. All political parties organizations are operating within Constitution of the USSR.
More or less.
2. Foros - city in Crimea in which The 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt, also known as the August Putsch or August Coup, was a coup d'état attempt by a group of members of the Soviet Union's government to take control of the country from Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev.
You can find more info about this as ''1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt''.
3. As far as I know, there is no English translation of this book.
4. Vityok - Is the name Victor. Vityok is used when guys on the street call you. Like Dominic - Dom (Yeah, it's from Fast and Furious. I can't think of anything else right now).
5. Snop - in Russian means sheaf.
6. Glenfilda Petrovna - I don't know if that is real character from the novel, but I think that's what he said. I never read that novel. I tried googling, but I haven't been able to find anything relative to it.

Modern era
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
=======
Modern history, the modern period or the modern era, is the linear, global, historiographical approach to the time frame after post-classical history. Modern history can be further broken down into periods:
The early modern period began approximately in the early 16th century; notable historical milestones included the European Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, and the Protestant Reformation.
The late modern period began approximately in the mid-18th century; notable historical milestones included the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the Great Divergence, and the Russian Revolution. It took all of human history up to 1804 for the world's population to reach 1 billion; the next billion came just over a century later, in 1927.
Contemporary history is the span of historic events from approximately 1945 that are immediately relevant to the present time.This article primarily covers the 1800–1950 time period with a brief summary of 1500–1800. For a more in depth article on modern times before 1800, see Early Modern period.
