Russian monuments
A monument to a mother – In – law as people jokingly called it. It’s an exact copy of Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was placed in 1989 as the symbol of Tula’s exotarium. Exotarium is the zoo of reptiles and amphibians. . People love this dinosaur and they dress it in different funny clothes. And in this exotarium there is the unique in Russia – serpentarium. It’s the place where biologists try to breed and revive disappearing kinds of snakes . парк йюрк
A monument to Leo Tolstoy – a famous Russian writer. Everybody knows his famous “War and Peace”. This monument is located in Tolstoy’s square. And in front of him there is a liquor factory and that’s why people called this monument “Leo Tolstoy is going to buy vodka”.
This is the monument to a tail. ‘Tails’ students call their “educational arrears”. It means if you failed the exam, you have one more chance to take it and pass it. This monument was placed in 2007. Many students come here every day when they have exams. They bring coopers and rub this lizard to take a little luck on exam.
This is the monument to Tula’s honey cake. Tula’s factory of the production of honey cakes is famous all over Russia. It’s two meters high and weighs more than a ton. Of course you can not taste this honey cake but you can take couple pictures with it and touch the history.
The monument to Demidov.
Demidov was Russian industrialist who founded the Demidov industrial dynasty. Nikita built one of the first metallurgical factories in Tula. Except for this monument which was installed in 1996, a museum is devoted to him in Tula. And people called this monument “Rambo”, I hope you guessed why.
“Levsha and steel flea” is a well-known story by Nickolay Leskov. It tells us about left-handed craftsman, who outperformed his English colleagues by providing a clockwork steel flea they’d made with horseshoes.
This is the monument to Vladimir Lenin – the leader of Soviet people. Every city and town and village in Russia has such kind of monument from the Soviet Union. All Soviet pupils knew: “Lenin lived, Lenin is alive, Lenin will live forever!” Of course now these monuments are just a part of history that’s why people don’t dismantle them.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Могила Неизвестного Солдата in Russian, [mɐˈɡʲilə nʲɪɪˈzvʲɛsnəvə sɐlˈdatə]) is a war memorial, dedicated to the Soviet soldiers killed during World War II. It is located at the Kremlin Wall in the Alexander Garden in Moscow.
The remains of the unknown soldiers killed in the Battle of Moscow in 1941 were initially buried in a mass grave of the Shtyki Memorial at the 40th km of the Leningrad highway at the city of Zelenograd. This was the location of the closest approach of the German armies to Moscow during the war. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the battle, in December 1966 these remains were relocated to the Kremlin Wall. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was designed by architects D. I. Burdin, V. A. Klimov, Yu. R. Rabayev and sculptor Nikolai Tomsky, and was unveiled to the public on May 8, 1967. The dark red porphyry monument is decorated with a bronze sculpture of a laurel branch and a soldier's helmet laid upon a banner.
In front of the monument, there is a five-pointed star in a square field of labradorite, which emanates the Eternal Flame from its center. The flame illuminates a bronze inscription Имя твоё неизвестно, подвиг твой бессмертен (translit.: Imya tvoyo neizvestno, podvig tvoy bessmerten, Your name is unknown, your deed is immortal). The torch for the memorial's Eternal Flame was transported from Leningrad, where it had been lit from the Eternal Flame at the Field of Mars.
To the left of the tomb is a granite wall with an inlay stating: 1941 - To Those Who Have Fallen For The Motherland - 1945. To the right of the tomb, lining the walkway are dark red porphyry blocks with incapsulated soils from hero cities, Leningrad, Kiev, Stalingrad, Odessa, Sevastopol, Minsk, Kerch, Novorossiysk, Tula and Brest, Murmansk and Smolensk. The plate for “Stalingrad” read “Volgograd” until September 2004. Further to the right of these monuments is an obelisk in red granite, listing the names of 40 “Cities of Military Glory” divided into groups of four. This monument was dedicated on May 8, 2010.
In 1997, a Guard of Honour of the Kremlin Regiment (which had guarded the Lenin Mausoleum) was restored at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by the federal law of December 8, 1997, On Immortalizing the Soviet People’s Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. A Changing of the Guard Ceremony takes place every hour.

Russia - Exploring Tver and Torjok
When living in Moscow, it feels good to leave the city and to get some fresh air for the weekend. Jump in a train for 2 hours, and you will be in Tver.
Capital City of Tverskaya Oblyast, this city has honestly nothing so special... but is trully Russian. A nice walking street in the city center, leading to the Lenin's statue, a beautiful church, the Volga on which you can walk during winter... and that's it, not more. Although it's located only 2 hours from Moscow, you can feel a real difference between these two cities. People, prices, speed, architecture are very different. But you don't want to spend there more than one day. That's why you can take a taxi and go to Torjok.
Torjok is way smaller, but way cutter. Many little churches, a small Kremlin, and the atmosphere of a little village. I would recommend it for people staying in Moscow and looking for a quiet place to spend one day... not more.
This little trip is not hard to organize... especially with Kodamas always here to show you the way.

RUSSIA: MOSCOW: COMMUNIST PARTY ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Russian/Nat
Russia's Communist party held its annual conference in Moscow and continued to call for the resignation of President Yeltsin.
Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov also agreed to go ahead with a nationwide strike planned for the first week of October.
The party is rapidly gaining popularity as the economic crisis continues and everyday Russians watch the value of their savings and wages plummet.
At the opening of the Russian Communist Party's Plenum, leader Gennady Zyuganov demanded President Yeltsin's resignation.
Hundreds of Communist Party members turned up to vote on economic policy and an October 7th march calling for Yeltsin's resignation.
The economic crisis is driving many Russians back to communism as they watch the value of the rouble continue to fall.
In his address Zyuganov said that the economic crisis proved Yeltsin is too incompetent to be in power.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
We demand that this government express the interests of the country. The government must help people, everything, to help our industry and production workers work properly. It must ensure that every person receives their living wage and do everything to stabilise the situation in the country. Our attitude towards the government will be we will support all measures that are aimed at realising defined concrete steps.
SUPER CAPTION: Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov
Zyuganov called Yeltsin the main evil.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
The heads of the municipal formations of the Tula region have officially asked the national patriotic union to hold a national congress of heads of all municipal formations. They consider President Yeltsin and his policy to be the main evil and demand that all Russian regions and cities, the whole Russian province call out: leave Mr Yeltsin, we're fed up with your policy and your robbery! We will conduct a qualitatively new policy.
SUPER CAPTION: Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov
But the Communists are not yet commenting on Yeltsin's crisis choice for Prime Minister, Yevgeny Primakov.
They are waiting to see what effect his Soviet style economic controls will have.

The Island of Valaam. / Остров Валаам.
Valaam is the island in Republic of Karelia of Russia, located in the Northern part of the largest freshwater lakes in Europe - Ladoga, it is the largest island in the Valaam archipelago. On the island there is the village of Valaam, and the monument of Russian architecture - the Valaam monastery, founded before the baptism of Russia, in the year 960, the monk Sergius and Herman, the Greek Holy monks. Transfiguration monastery became the spiritual center of Ladoga lands. It is believed that in ancient times on the island, was located the main temple of Veles (or Volos) and Perun, who were the main deities for the Gentiles living close. The monastic tradition says that the Holy Apostle Andrew, enlightener of the Scythians and the Slavic peoples, moving along the route from the Varangians to the Greeks, blessed of cross the mountain on the island. In the 15th century the monastery was called the Great Lavra or the Northern Athos. Here was the center of world Orthodoxy and writing of books. By the early 16th century in the monastery lived 600 monks. Now in the monastery about two hundred inhabitants. Life revived in All saints, the Baptist, St. Nicholas, Svyatoostrovsky, Sergievsky sketes.
Period 1839-1917 is the heyday of the monastery. In 1989 on December 13, the day of memory of St. Andrew, when the island came six monks, the monastery began the process of revival. And 16 years later, in 2005, was first heard 1000-pound bell Andrew, mounted on the bell tower in the monastery in the framework of the restoration of an ancient belfry. The feast of the Nativity of the blessed virgin Mary September 21, 2008 Patriarch Alexy II consecrated the St. Vladimir skete on Valaam island and conducted the first divine Liturgy in the temple. Resurrection skete, located above Big Nikon Bay, on the mountain, was built in the early twentieth century in the place where according to tradition St. The Apostle Andrew erected a stone cross. Valaam island attracts every year thousands of tourists. The reason - the Valaam Islands have a unique nature, pine forests on the cliffs, warm and quiet inland lakes, the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Valaam monastery. During its formation, the monks brought the land, seeds and seedlings of plants from different parts of our country. For such a Northern location is not usual to see some trees and grass. The age of some of them is over three hundred years. The work of the Valaam monks are so fundamental that some areas are truly hand-made. Balaam - the natural reserve, a unique monument of Park art. There are more than 480 species of plants. The island was visited repeatedly by emperors Alexander I, Alexander II, and other members of the imperial family and also Tchaikovsky and Mendeleyev.
The present life of the monastery, another indication that faith invariably raises and restores the monastery from the ruins. So it was throughout the history of Valaam barbarous raids of the Swedes in ancient times, the bombing and the uncertain fate of the monastery during World War 2, it complete, it would seem that the devastation in the era of atheism – monastic life always has returned to these shores.

STORYLINE
Riot police on Monday quickly and forcefully broke up an opposition attempt to occupy a square in downtown Moscow in a bid to dispute Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's election victory.
Police arrested dozens of participants, including some prominent opposition leaders.
The harsh police action could fuel the opposition anger and trigger bigger protests against Putin's rule, but it also underlined the massive challenges faced by the opposition.
Putin seems to command the unswerving loyalty of police and the military, whose wages were recently doubled.
The police action followed a rally in downtown Moscow that drew about 20,000 protesters angry over a campaign slanted in Putin's favour and reports of widespread violations in Sunday's ballot.
The big rally went on peacefully, but hundreds of police in full riot gear forcefully dispersed several hundred protesters who had vowed to stay on the iconic Pushkin Square until Putin steps down.
Charismatic protest leader Alexei Navalny, who sought to stir the crowd with a passionate call of We are the power! was among those arrested along with leader of opposition party Left Front Sergei Udaltsov.
Scores were put in police vans parked around the square.
Monday's attempt to occupy the square marked a change of tactics for the opposition that is looking for ways to maintain the momentum of the protests.
During the first massive protests in December, Navalny was the first to propose occupying streets to raise the heat on Putin.
Putin won more than 63 percent of the vote, according to the nearly complete official returns, but the opposition says the election was marred by massive fraud.
International election monitors pointed at the lack of real competition and said the vote count was assessed negatively in almost a third of polling stations observers visited.

Vassili Zaitsev tells about sniper duel with Major Koenig
Zaitsev almost made it to Berlin but was wounded at Seelow Heights in 1945,he quickly recovered and finished the war on the Dniestr. Stalin was interested in Zaitsev and ordered him to write a report,Stalin had this report published in section 1 of the Red Army field manual.
Zaitsev made a quoate- In Stalingrad the German officer corps was beheaded.
Bio-Captain Vassili Grigorevich Zaitsev (Russian: Василий Григорьевич Зайцев) (March 23, 1915December 15, 1991) was a Soviet sniper during World War II, notable particularly for his activities between October 1942 and and January 1943 during the Battle of Stalingrad. He killed 242 soldiers and officers of the Wehrmacht and other Axis armies, including 11 enemy snipers, but the real number may be much higher,some argue it might have been as many as 500. Prior to November 10, he had already killed 40 Axis soldiers with the standard-issue Mosin-Nagant rifle. His military rank at the time was Junior Lieutenant.
Zaitsev was born in Yeleninskoye and grew up in the Ural Mountains. His surname Zaitsev has the same root as the word hare (zayats) in Russian. Before going to Stalingrad, he served in the Russian Navy as a clerk but upon reading about the brutality of the fighting in Stalingrad, he volunteered for front-line duty. Zaitsev served in the 1047th Rifle Regiment of the 284th Rifle Division of the 62nd Army. He is notable for having participated in the Battle of Stalingrad. There, Zaitsev set up a snipers' training school in the Metiz factory; it was run by Zaytsev. The snipers Zaytsev trained were nicknamed zaichata, meaning leverets (baby hares). Antony Beevor wrote in Stalingrad that this was the start of the sniper movement in the 62nd Army. Conferences were arranged to spread the doctrine of sniperism and exchange ideas on technique and principles that were not limited to marksmanship skills. It is estimated that the snipers Zaytsev trained killed more than 3,000 enemy soldiers.
Zaitsev took part in the battle for Stalingrad until January 1943, when he suffered an injury to his eyes from a mortar attack. He was attended to by Professor Filatov, who is credited with restoring his sight. On February 22, 1943 Zaitsev was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. He then returned to the front and finished the war on the Dniestr River with the military rank of Captain. After the end of the war, Zaitsev visited Berlin, where he met friends who served with him. After the war, Zaitsev managed a factory in Kiev, and remained in that city until he died at the age of 76 after suffering from a disease.
