Remote monastery blown up by Soviets restored by parachuters
(27 Jul 2019) LEAD IN:
A remote monastery on a tiny island in the middle of a Russian lake is being rebuilt by volunteers who parachute onto the island each year.
One of the oldest churches in northern Russia, the Spaso Kamenny Monastery was blown up by the Soviet Regime in the 1930's.
For the past decade the parachuters have been painstakingly restoring it to its former glory.
STORY-LINE
Kubensky Lake, northern Russia.
On this small island in the north of Russia, about 5 kilometres from the Vologda Oblast mainland, sits one of the oldest monasteries in the country, and one of the first to be built in stone.
Located in Kubensky lake the Spaso Kamenny Monastery - or 'Saviour on Stone' has weathered many storms during its 760 year history.
Apart from some outbuildings housing church equipment and a temporary eating area, the monastery is the sole occupant of this 120 by 70 metre island island.
A handful of visitors come during the summer months - either to visit this magnificent building or to attend services which restarted in 2010 - along with a restoration programme,
In 2010, when the 750th anniversary of the monastery was celebrated, a refectory church was built and the bell tower was restored, and the Liturgy began to be celebrated, says resident abbot, Father Dionisy Vozdvizhensky.
As legend has it, in 1260 the Prince of Belozersk was washed up onto the island's shore following a storm. At the time, the island was inhabited by hermits.
To show his gratitude, he ordered the construction of a wooden church.
It is a very famous monastery, very significant in a history, which had a large number of followers. Such a place can't be forgotten. Because holy patrons of the monastery didn't forget it, they pray for this place, explains Vozdvizhensky.
In 1774, a powerful fire destroyed almost all of the wooden buildings, after which the monastery remained closed until it was rebuilt in 1801.
In 1925, during the Soviet regime, the monastery was transformed into a prison, but 12 years later that too was closed down and the building was blown up.
Locals say it was done to get bricks for the construction of the local house of culture.
However, an attempt to remove the building material from the island was not successful. The wreckage of the old monastery lies to this day on the island.
Since 1991, a group of enthusiasts backed by heritage funding and under the guidance of a Vologda resident, Alexander (Sasha) Pligin began the restoration of the Spaso-Kamenny monastery.
The restoration continues to this day.
There were ruins because a long time ago someone blew it up (monastery) on the island, which was called Spas-Kamen. Sasha Pligin (a paratrooper and volunteer restoring the monastery) was coming and restoring it. I remember him and other men on tractors dragging some equipment there. The water was flooding everything and it was necessary to get onto the island, says Oleg Boikov, senior instructor of Vologda flying club.
Pligin was parachuter and in memory of his work a number of restorers and members of the local parachute club jump to the island every year to mark the opening of the restoration season.
The fact that we make a jump almost every year is a tribute. A tribute to the man who is associated with parachuting, and with our history. This is why we make these jumps. says Evgeniy Shpakovskiy, a member of Vologda flying club.
After Pilgin's death in 2014, his widow Nadezhda Aleksandrovna continued his work restoring the monastery.

Saint Sophia Cathedral Vologda
The great Cathedral of Saint Sophia in Voloda is the oldest surviving building in the city. The cathedral was built in 1568-1570, when Ivan the Terrible introduced the Oprichnina and made Vologda its capital. The model for the cathedral was the Assumption Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin. Ivan personally supervised the construction, and the builders were permitted to use almost unlimited resources. Ivan also, for unknown reason, ordered the cathedral's unusual orientation: its altar apse does not face east as is common in Orthodox Churches but rather northeast. In 1571, Ivan the Terrible unexpectedly left Vologda and returned to Moscow. Soon afterwards, he abolished the Oprichnina and never showed any further interest in Vologda. He even gave an order for the cathedral to be demolished before he left the city, but subsequently withdrew it. By that time, the cathedral was constructed but not yet decorated or consecrated. The cathedral was completed during the reign of Feodor Ivanovich, the son of Ivan the Terrible, and consecrated in 1587.
The frescoes inside the cathedral were painted between 1685 and 1687 by a group of painters from Yaroslavl under the direction of Dmitry Plekhanov. The frescoes include symbols of the faith, major church festivals, scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, as well as the life and parables of Christ. In the main cupola, Christ Ruler of All is depicted, while the four smaller cupolas portray John the Baptist; the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Ghost); Mary and the Christ Child; and Christ Emanuel. Martyred warriors and Russian princes are on the great piers that support the ceiling vaults. Elsewhere are apostles, Old Testament prophets, patriarchs and the four Evangelists……….
In Soviet times, the Cathedral was shut down and now serves as a museum.
Seamless robe of Jesus
The Seamless Robe of Jesus is the robe said to have been worn by Jesus during or shortly before his crucifixion. Competing traditions claim that the robe has been preserved to the present day. One tradition places it in the Cathedral of Trier, another places it in Argenteuil, and several traditions claim that it is now in various Eastern Orthodox churches.

Цикл фильмов в жанре документальной драмы.
Это одна из старейших династий Европы. Князья и цари из дома Рюриковичей правили страной непрерывно на протяжении 740 лет. За это время Русское государство, ими созданное, выросло до размеров 5,4 миллиона квадратных километров и стало больше всей Европы.
История династии началась одновременно с историей государства. Однако начало это скрыто в густом тумане легенд. Мы никогда не узнаем, кем на самом деле был легендарный варяг Рюрик, и был ли он реальным историческим лицом. Зато мы знаем, кем были его потомки. Среди них были поэты и воины, святые и разбойники, законодатели и братоубийцы. Одни восходили на престол по праву рождения, другие – по приглашению, третьи – по трупам родных братьев, но законной их власть над огромной страной делала сама принадлежность к правящему дому Рюриковичей.
В истории династии было все – яростная борьба за власть и высокое самопожертвование, завоевания и потери, интриги и новые законы, пепел пожарищ и создание мировых шедевров, любовь и предательство. Рюриковичи укрепляли, обороняли, расширяли своё государство: кто-то – огнем и мечом, кто-то – миром и договором. Во время их правления сформировалась русской нация и возник феномен русской культуры. Именно Рюриковичи создали ту самую страну - трансконтинентальную полиэтничную державу, - в которой мы сегодня живём.

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
=======
Nicholas II or Nikolai II (Russian: Николай II Алекса́ндрович, tr. Nikolai II Aleksandrovich; 18 May [O.S. 6 May] 1868 – 17 July 1918), known as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer in the Russian Orthodox Church, was the last Emperor of Russia, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his forced abdication on 2 March 1917. His reign saw the fall of the Russian Empire from one of the foremost great powers of the world to economic and military collapse. He was given the nickname Nicholas the Bloody or Vile Nicholas by his political adversaries due to the Khodynka Tragedy, anti-Semitic pogroms, Bloody Sunday, the violent suppression of the 1905 Russian Revolution, the execution of political opponents, and his perceived responsibility for the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). Soviet historians portrayed Nicholas as a weak and incompetent leader whose decisions led to military defeats and the deaths of millions of his subjects.Russia was defeated in the 1904–1905 Russo-Japanese War which saw the annihilation of the reinforcing Russian Baltic Fleet after being sent on its round-the-world cruise at the naval Battle of Tsushima, off the coasts of Korea and Japan, the loss of Russian influence over Manchuria and Korea, and the Japanese annexation to the north of South Sakhalin Island. The Anglo-Russian Entente was designed to counter the German Empire's attempts to gain influence in the Middle East, but it also ended the Great Game of confrontation between Russia and the United Kingdom. When all Russian diplomatic efforts to prevent the First World War (1914–1918) failed, Nicholas approved the Imperial Russian Army mobilization on 30 July 1914 which gave Imperial Germany formal grounds to declare war on Russia on 1 August 1914. An estimated 3.3 million Russians were killed in the First World War. The Imperial Russian Army's severe losses, the High Command's incompetent management of the war efforts, and lack of food and supplies on the home front were all leading causes of the fall of the House of Romanov.
Following the February Revolution of 1917, Nicholas abdicated on behalf of himself and his son and heir, the Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich. He and his family were imprisoned and transferred to Tobolsk in late summer 1917. On 30 April 1918, Nicholas, Alexandra, and their daughter Maria were handed over to the local Ural Soviet council in Ekaterinburg (renamed Sverdlovsk during the Soviet era); the rest of the captives followed on 23 May. Nicholas and his family were executed by their Bolshevik guards on the night of 16/17 July 1918. The remains of the imperial family were later found, exhumed, identified and re-interred with elaborate State and Church ceremony in St. Petersburg on 17 July 1998 – 80 years later.
In 1981, Nicholas, his wife, and their children were recognized as martyrs by the Russian Orthodox Church Outsid ...

Black Madonna
A Black Madonna or Black Virgin is a statue or painting of Mary in which she is depicted with dark skin, especially those created in Europe in the medieval period or earlier. The Black Madonnas are generally found in Catholic countries. The term refers to a type of Marian statue or painting of mainly medieval origin, with dark or black features. The statues are mostly wooden but occasionally stone, often painted and up to 75 cm tall. They fall into two main groups: free-standing upright figures or seated figures on a throne. The pictures are usually icons which are Byzantine in style, often made in 13th- or 14th-century Italy. There are about 450–500 Black Madonnas in Europe, depending on how they are classified. There are at least 180 Vierges Noires in France, and there are hundreds of non-medieval copies as well. Some are in museums, but most are in churches or shrines and are venerated by devotees. A few are associated with miracles and attract substantial numbers of pilgrims.
