Teen scales 1150 foot high tower
GALICH, RUSSIA: A DAREDEVIL teenager ended up among the clouds after climbing a 1150-foot-high TV tower in Russia.
This vertigo-inducing video shows the thrill-seeking teen struggle up a makeshift ladder and into the clouds above before dangling off the top of the huge structure as strong winds blow around him.
The thrilling footage was taken by Russian urban explorer Alex Nomernoy (18) from Moscow as he visited Galich, a town 300 miles to the northeast of the Russian capital.

Soligalich is located on the right bank of the Kostroma River in the Province of Kostroma, Russia
The original settlement was an important centre of saltworks in the early 14th century and supplied salt not only to Russia but also much to Scandinavia....
As these saltworks were of such importance, the settlement was continually exploited throughout history. In 1450, both Galch and Soligalich were seized by Vasily II of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
In the 16th century, the saltworks were exploited by the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius and five other monasteries. The settlement was repeatedly ravaged by Kazan Tatars and Udmurts
In 1609, Soligalich became seat of a voivode ( A sslavic term for a war-lord).
During the Time of Troubles, the settlement was sacked by Polish units roaming through this part of Russia. Russia .
In 1649, the wooden town was destroyed by fire. Towards the end of the 17th century, half a dozen churches were rebuilt in brick, surviving to the present day.

Small Abandoned House (Someone was watching us)
A very short video exploring a small abandoned house off a wooded road. Once inside, we realized someone was sitting in their vehicle with headlights on watching us. We kept it short and captured as much as we could in the two minutes that we were in the house.

[Wikipedia] Ivan Vyrodkov
Ivan Grigoryevich Vyrodkov (Russian: Иван Григорьевич Выродков; not later than 1520 – 1568) was a diak, Russian military engineer and inventor.
Ivan Vyrodkov's name was first mentioned in 1538. It is known that he participated in Ivan the Terrible's military campaigns against Kazan, during the Russo-Kazan Wars. In 1551, Ivan Vyrodkov was in charge of the construction of Sviyazhsk - a wooden fortress near Kazan that he would build in 28 days. This would serve as a strong point for the capture of the city by the Muscovite army.
In 1552, he supervised the fortification works during the siege of Kazan, and is credited for constructing a 12 metre high siege tower in just one night. Although older siege towers had been made obsolete by the advancement of artillery, Vyrodkov made a revolutionary alteration to the design: this new type of siege engine is more accurately described as a battery-tower, as it was built for the bombardment of the city, able to hold ten large-calibre cannon and 50 lighter cannon. This allowed a concentration of artillery fire on a section of the wooden wall or city, which played a crucial role in shattering Tatar resistance. Nonetheless, it is certain that the few cannon defending Kazan would first have to have been put out of action in order for the tower to be effective, as it would otherwise have been an obvious target for any remaining artillery.
After the war, in 1557, Vyrodkov built a fortress and a harbor at the mouth of the Narva River and a fort in Galich. In 1563, Vyrodkov commanded the so-called pososhniye lyudi (recruits) during a military campaign against Polotsk. In 1568, he and his seventeen relatives, including children, were executed for an unknown reason in the course of the oprichnina.

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

SUMMARY
=======
The Crimean-Nogai raids were slave raids carried out by the Khanate of Crimea and by the Nogai Horde into the region of Rus' then controlled by the Grand Duchy of Moscow (until 1547), by the Tsardom of Russia (1547-1721), by the Russian Empire (1721 onwards) and by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1569). These raids began after Crimea became independent about 1441 and lasted until the peninsula came under Russian control in 1774.Their main purpose was the capture of slaves, most of whom were exported to the Ottoman slave markets in Constantinople or elsewhere in the Middle East. The raids were an important drain of the human and economic resources of eastern Europe. They largely inhabited the settlement of the Wild Fields – the steppe and forest-steppe land which extends from a hundred or so miles south of Moscow to the Black Sea and which now contains most of the Russian and Ukrainian population. The raids also played an important role in the development of the Cossacks.Estimates of the number of people involved vary: according to Alan W. Fisher the number of people deported from the Slavic lands on both sides of the border during the 14th to 17th centuries was about 3 million. Michael Khodarkhovsky estimates that 150,000 to 200,000 people were abducted from Russia in the first 50 years of the 17th century.The first major Tatar raid for slaves occurred in 1468 and was directed into Galicia. Crimean Khan Devlet I Giray even managed to burn down Moscow during the 1571 campaign. The last raid into Hungary by the Crimean Tatars took place in 1717. In 1769 a last major Tatar raid, which took place during the Russo-Turkish War, saw the capture of 20,000 slaves.
What made the wild field so forbidding were the Tatars. Year after year, their swift raiding parties swept down on the towns and villages to pillage, kill the old and frail, and drive away thousands of captives to be sold as slaves in the Crimean port of Kaffa, a city often referred to by Russians as the vampire that drinks the blood of Rus'...For example, from 1450 to 1586, eighty-six raids were recorded, and from 1600 to 1647, seventy. Although estimates of the number of captives taken in a single raid reached as high as 30,000, the average figure was closer to 3000...In Podilia alone, about one-third of all the villages were devastated or abandoned between 1578 and 1583.

SUMMARY
=======
The Mongol invasion of Europe in the 13th century was the conquest of Europe by the Mongol Empire, by way of the destruction of East Slavic principalities, such as Kiev and Vladimir. The Mongol invasions also occurred in Central Europe, which led to warfare among fragmented Poland, such as the Battle of Legnica (9 April 1241) and in the Battle of Mohi (11 April 1241) in the Kingdom of Hungary.The operations were planned by General Subutai (1175–1248) and commanded by Batu Khan (c. 1207–1255) and Kadan (d. c. 1261). Both men were grandsons of Genghis Khan; their conquests integrated much European territory to the empire of the Golden Horde. Warring European princes realized they had to cooperate in the face of a Mongol invasion, so local wars and conflicts were suspended in parts of central Europe, only to be resumed after the Mongols had withdrawn.
