My FAVORITE CITY in Russia? | Kazan, Tatarstan
Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia - Our third stop on our journey across the entire country of Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway is Kazan.
We arrive early on the train from Moscow to Kazan and head straight out to the Blue Lake of Kazan.
We go scuba diving in the Blue Lake and then head back into the city of Kazan, capital of the Republic of Tatarstan for lunch and exploration.
We try traditional Russian and Tatar food and then explore the Kazan Kremlin and bustling Bauman Street in downtown Kazan.
The next morning we take a boat from kazan to the ancient capital of Bolgar, where we visit the old city and go inside the White Mosque.
From there, it was back into Kazan to catch the Trans-Siberian Railway once more - this time, we're heading into the Ural Mountains!

4K | Mosque Heart of Chechnya» | Grozny. Chechen Republic. Russia
The Heart of Chechnya Mosque is one of the largest mosques in the world. It was opened on October 17, 2008 and named after Akhmat-Hadji Kadyrov, the mufti of the unrecognized Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and the first president of the Chechen Republic.
The mosque is located on the picturesque bank of the Sunzha River, in the middle of a huge park (14 hectares) and is part of the Islamic complex, which, in addition to the mosque, includes the Russian Islamic University named after Kunta Haji and the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Czech Republic.
The mosque was built in the classical Ottoman style. The central hall of the mosque is covered with a huge dome (diameter - 16 m, height - 32 m). The height of four minarets of 63 meters each is one of the highest minarets in the south of Russia. The external and internal walls of the mosque are decorated with travertine marble, and the interior is decorated with white marble.
The area of the mosque is 5000 square meters, and the capacity is more than 10 thousand people. The same number of believers can pray in the summer gallery and square adjacent to the mosque.
The Blue Mosque in Istanbul was used as the basis of architecture.
During the construction of the mosque, the latest technologies were used.
The external and internal walls of the mosque are decorated with marble - travertine, and the interior of the temple is abundantly decorated with white marble, which is mined on the island of Marmara Adasa in the Sea of Marmara (Turkish province of Balikesir).
The masters from Turkey painted the mosque. Synthetic and natural paints with special additives were used for the pattern (the patterns were made in the style of traditional Chechen ornaments “boosts”), due to which, according to experts, the mosque will retain its color scheme for the next 50 years. To write patterns and ayahs (texts) from the Koran, the masters used a high-grade gold dusting.
The mosque has 36 chandeliers. In their forms, they resemble three shrines of Islam - 27 of them imitate the Kubbatu-as-Sahra mosque in Jerusalem, 8 are modeled on the Rovzatu-Nevevi mosque in Medina, and the largest, 8-meter-long chandelier repeats the Kaaba shrine in Mecca in shape. The creation of the collection took several tons of bronze, 2.5 kg of gold of the highest standard and more than 1 million details. Chandeliers have a Chechen ornament, which was specially selected by designers. Chandeliers are made of Swarovski crystals by the Turkish company USTUN AVIZE.
The prayer niche in the wall of the mosque is the mihrab (8 meters high and 4.6 meters wide), made of white marble, facing Mecca, indicating the direction to the faithful during prayer. The niche itself creates the illusion of an infinite deepening of intersecting spaces. Inside the mosque, the art of calligraphy is used. Ayats from the Koran are skillfully woven into the general ornament of the architectural decoration of the mosque. The vault of the main dome of the mosque is crowned with surah 112 “Ihlas” (purification), which translates as “He is Allah, the one, Allah is eternal. He did not give birth and was not born, and there is no one equal to Him. ”
The lighting concept of the Grozny mosque was made of three levels. The first level is flood lighting, providing even illumination of the lower part of the structure and minarets. The second level is accent lighting of the architectural elements of the building. The third level is festive lighting. Such a lighting solution allows you to visually raise the height of the minarets and make dynamic lighting on the central dome.
The useful area of the mosque is 5000 m², the height of the minarets is 63 meters. The total area of the Islamic center is 14 hectares.
The temple building has increased seismic resistance. Several fountains have been installed in the adjacent territory, places for rest, alleys have been broken.

Tyumen
Tyumen is the largest city and the administrative center of Tyumen Oblast, Russia, located on the Tura River 2,500 kilometers east of Moscow.
Tyumen was the first Russian settlement in Siberia. Founded in 1586 to support Russia's eastward expansion, the city has remained one of the most important industrial and economic centers east of the Ural Mountains. Located at the junction of several important trade routes and with easy access to navigable waterways, Tyumen rapidly developed from a small military settlement to a large commercial and industrial city. The central part of Old Tyumen retains many historic buildings from throughout the city's history.

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.
