Future Ghetto of St. Petersburg, Russia. (Murino, Worst District of The City)
Murino is a new district north of Saint Petersburg, Russia, which is however repeats many old architectural mistakes for development of the new residential districts. It's just an endless amount of high-rise and flat buildings with no social infrastructure and environment for a comfort living.

Auschwitz: Drone video of Nazi concentration camp - BBC News
Drone video shows the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp as it is today - 70 years after it was liberated by Soviet troops. The camp in Poland is now maintained as a World Heritage Site and is visited by thousands of tourists and survivors every year. Auschwitz was the largest camp established by the Germans during World War II. More than a million people - the vast majority of them Jews - died there between 1940, when it was built, and 1945, when it was liberated by the Soviet army.
Railway tracks into Auschwitz-Birkenau - Trains filled with victims from throughout occupied Europe arrived at the camp almost every day between 1942 and the summer of 1944.
Ruins of wooden huts at Birkenau - Birkenau (or Auschwitz II) was erected in 1941 solely as a death camp, the wooden huts are now in ruins with only brick fireplaces and chimneys remaining.
Entrance to Auschwitz I -The wrought-iron sign over the entrance bears the words Arbeit Macht Frei - Work sets you free.
Auschwitz I - The brick-built buildings were the former cavalry barracks of the Polish Army.
Courtyard between blocks 10 and 11 at Auschwitz I - Block 11 was called the Block of Death by prisoners. Executions took place between Block 10 and Block 11 and posts in the yard were used to string up prisoners by their wrists.
Auschwitz Birkenau is now a museum run by the Polish Culture Ministry, and a Unesco world heritage site.

#SAVEBOR Фильм про Бузулукский бор (+18)
#SaveBor – это фильм о национальном парке «Бузулукский Бор», единственном в мире реликтовом степном сосновом лесу. Весной 2015 года в России был объявлен тендер на добычу в нем нефти.
This is a film about the Buzuluksky Bor National Park. It is the only steppe relict pine forest in the world. In the spring of 2015 a tender to produce oil here was published in Russia.
Его выиграла компания «Новый поток» – предприятие, занимающееся только переработкой и не имеющее опыта добычи нефти на особо охраняемых территориях. Объявило тендер министерство природных ресурсов России. Ведомство, которое должно было защищать заповедники, само предложило добывать нефть в центре национального парка.
It went to the New Stream company which at the moment only dealt with oil processing and had no experience of oil production on protected territories. The tender was published by the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia. The state institution which has to protect national parks offered to produce oil right in the center of one of them.
Фильм про Бузулукский бор – это фильм об огромном живом организме, который хотят уничтожить на наших глазах.

Москва. Новоспасский монастырь. Новоспасский пруд. Обзор города.
Москва. Новоспасский пруд — искусственный водоём в центре Москвы. В 1750 году на берегу Москвы-реки в центре города на современном местоположении пруда были вырыты два водоема: больший имел прямоугольную форму, а меньший — квадратную. В ходе этих работ также был облагорожен старый пруд с островом в центре. Пруды были связаны друг с другом и с Москвой-рекой системой подземных труб.
До наших дней от этой системы дошёл лишь один водоём прямоугольной формы — это и есть Новоспасский пруд.Его площадь составляет 1,5 га, средняя глубина — 2,5 метра. Питание осуществляется за счёт грунтовых и поверхностных вод. Чтобы предотвратить водную эрозию, береговые линии укрепили железобетонной конструкцией.
Вокруг пруда расположен небольшой парк, это популярное место отдыха! Купание в Новоспасском пруду не разрешено, однако этот запрет часто нарушают. С территории пруда открывается вид на Московский международный дом музыки с одной стороны – за Москвой рекой и Новоспасский монастырь с противоположной. Новоспасский мужской монастырь, один из 10 действующих в Москве, принадлежит Русской православной церкви. Не поверите - Образованная в 13 веке тихая монашеская обитель за много веков превратилась в законченный архитектурный ансамбль. Это удивительный памятник древней истории православия на Руси, и обитель монашеской общины, живущей по своим строгим правилам и распорядку. В соборе и храмах монастыря проводятся регулярные богослужения.
Основан в 1490 году с именем Спаса Нового Великим князем Иваном III, который перевёл за город братию кремлёвского монастыря Спаса на Бору. Последний возник около 1330 года при Великом князе Иване Калите.
Первый каменный собор Спаса Преображения построен был в 1494 году. Монастырь начал пользоваться царской благосклонностью и приобретать современный облик после прихода к власти Романовых, чья родовая усыпальница издавна находилась в Новоспасском монастыре.
Монастырь был закрыт в 1918 году, и в том же году на его территории был устроен концентрационный лагерь. Памятники монастыря, имевшие музейное значение, были приписаны к музею Симонова монастыря. В 1920-х годах архитектор Сергей Родионов провёл реставрацию построек монастыря. В 1925 году территорию монастыря занимал Второй женский исправительный дом. Монастырское кладбище снесено в 1927—1930 годах.
С 1935 года территорией монастыря ведало хозяйственное управление НКВД. Все монастырские постройки были переоборудованы для хозяйственных нужд или под жильё. Выселение жильцов началось в 1960 году. В 1968 году было принято решение организовать на базе монастыря «музей истории и современной практики реставрационного дела в СССР».
Восстановительные работы затянулись на многие годы. В соборе планировалось открыть Музей истории реставрации. Большой реставрационный центр на территории монастыря существовал с 1985 до конца 1990 года, когда решено было вернуть монастырь Московской патриархии.
Возрождение монашеской жизни началось в апреле 1991 года. В июле того же года создан мужской хор Новоспасского монастыря.
В 1995 году сюда был перенесён прах великого князя Сергея Александровича, убитого за 90 лет до этого террористом Иваном Каляевым. На территории монастыря воздвигнут памятный крест, воссозданный по сохранившемуся проекту Виктора Васнецова, — точная копия памятника, существовавшего в Кремле.
В феврале 2014 года патриарх Кирилл освятил 16-тонный «Романовский» колокол, который был отлит взамен уничтоженного в 20 веке исторического колокола.

How to travel the world with almost no money | Tomislav Perko | TEDxTUHH
Many people daydream about traveling the world, but all of them have the same excuse - lack of money. Tomislav, after traveling the world for years with almost no money, shows how it is possible for everyone to do the same, if they really want to.
Tomislav Perko, 29, is a travel writer from Croatia. After a career of a stockbroker, broke because of the financial crisis, he hits the road and turns it into his home. He uses alternative ways of traveling – hitchhiking, couchsurfing, working/volunteering, and manages to wander around the world with just a little bit of money in his pocket, meeting the most amazing people on the way.
Five years later, he publishes a book “1000 Days of Spring” and goes around giving lectures about what it means to live on the road. Find out more on his website:
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

Russia: Moscovites strip in parks to cool down in record high temperatures
Temperatures in Moscow beat a 17-year old record for May 14 when they hit 28.7 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, and dozens of Moscow citizens reacted by spending the day sunbathing in city parks or swimming in city fountains and ponds. The previous record was 28.4 degrees Celsius and was set in 1996.
It marked the fifth day that Moscow temperatures exceeded 25 degrees Celsius, which forecaster say is quite unusual and can lead to an increase in air pollution. They warn that high temperatures combined with windless skies could result in forest fires.
The highest temperature ever recorded in the centre of Moscow was 39 degrees Celsius on July 29, 2010 during the summer heat wave. During this time, western Russia suffered wildfires and a the worst drought in decades when more than 20 high-temperature records were broken over the course of a two-month period.
Weather forecasters predict that temperatures in Moscow on Wednesday could break the record for May 15 of 27.8 degrees Celsius. The current Moscow heat wave is expected to continue into next week.
