Russia: Russian Airborne past and present mark WWII anniversary
Russian Airborne veterans and current Airborne troops gathered in Novorossiysk, Sunday, to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The veterans laid flowers on the Square of Heroes memorial complex to pay their respects to the soldiers of the Red Army. Vladimir Shamanov, the current commander of Russia's Airborne Forces, praised Russia's veterans who entered the Nazis' lair and raised our flag of victory on the Reichstag.
SOT, Vladimir Shamanov, Commander of the Russian Airborne Forces (Russian): Our great grandfathers not only were able to defend our country, but also entered the Nazis' lair: the Reichstag, and raised our flag of victory.

HEROES OF THE WW1 MONUMENT IN MOSCOW
The WW1 was a disaster for Russia, as more than 4 million died.
Nevertheless, this is one of the rare WW1 monuments in Russia.
Wanna see it? It is located in Victory Park complex.
RUSSIA: MOSCOW: HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY
Russian/Nat
Russia's Jewish community on Tuesday marked Holocaust Remembrance Day on the date Jews around the world remember the six (m) million killed by the Nazis in World War Two - including hundreds of thousands in the former Soviet Union.
At Moscow's Poklonnaya Gora complex - dedicated to Russia's World War II victory and the dead of all religious denominations - the capital's Jewish leaders took part in a memorial service at the capital's newest synagogue.
Amongst the mourners was a former Red Army soldier who was amongst the Russian troops who liberated the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp.
Also in the congregation were young Jews growing up in a society which they feel is increasingly anti-Semitic, filling them with fear that the atrocities of the Second World War could one day be repeated.
The Holocaust was remembered across the world and across Russia on Tuesday, international Holocaust Day.
The main ceremony in Moscow was held here at the capital's newest synagogue.
The temple stands in the Poklonnaya Gora complex - dedicated to Russia's World War II victory and the dead of all religious denominations.
Inside, Holocaust survivors attended a religious service remembering those who died in the Nazi genocide.
When German troops invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, hundreds of thousands of Jews living in the U-S-S-R were trapped in occupied territory and forced into ghettos.
Through 1941 to 1943 Nazi storm troopers and their sympathisers led attacks on Jewish centres from the Baltic states, to Belarus, Ukraine and southern Russia.
One of the worst massacres took place just outside the present Ukrainian capital Kiev, when 34-thousand Jews were murdered at Babi Yar.
Similar wipe-outs occurred in other former Soviet cities, such as Riga, Minsk and Odessa.
The rabbi leading Tuesday's ceremony said the killing had left no-one in the Jewish community untouched.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
I don't know of a single family which was not affected by the catastrophe (the Holocaust). The Germans didn't just exterminate Jews in the gas chambers and ovens - which is difficult for us to comprehend - but also on the front during military action. Half a million Russian Jews fought in the Soviet army.

When World War Two finally came to a close, Russian troops were among the first to see the horror of the Nazi concentration camps, where many of Europe's Jews were slaughtered.
During its advance across Poland, the soldiers of the Soviet army were the first to enter the notorious Auschwitz camp.
Lev Kharmats was one of the first to enter Auschwitz.
On Tuesday he told of the horrors he witnessed there.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
(When we entered Auschwitz) we thought the buildings were warehouses, there these kind of partitions inside, but they were barrack houses. We liberated two of the buildings. The people there were all European - Russians, Rumanians, Poles, French, Belgians - It was terrible there.
SUPER CAPTION: Lev Kharmats, Red Army Veteran
Even before the Holocaust, Jews in Russia faced a tough existence, with whole communities being the victim of mass killings, or 'pogroms' in pre-Revolutionary Tsarist times.
They were also persecuted under former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and for years were forbidden from practising their faith.
After the Communists gave up power in 1991, most of Russia's Jews emigrated to Israel.
But many of those who stayed behind are worried by what they see as the rise in anti-Semitism, with economic hardship often provoking some nationalist Russians to off-load the blame onto minority groups.

Mikhail Kalashnikov honoured at heroes' funeral in Russia
RUSSIA buried Mikhail Kalashnikov, the designer of the iconic AK-47 assault rifle that was the favoured weapon of guerrillas worldwide, at a newly-opened cemetery for national heroes.
To the sound of a final salute fired from the AK-47 machine guns that made him world-famous, Kalashnikov was laid to rest with full state honours at the Federal Military Memorial Cemetery (FVMK) in the town of Mytishchi outside Moscow.
In a sign of the importance to Russia of Kalashnikov, who died on Monday at the age of 94, his funeral was attended by President Vladimir Putin, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Kremlin chief of staff Sergei Ivanov.
Mr Putin placed flowers at the coffin of Kalashnikov before the burial and shook hands with his grieving relatives. The coffin was taken to the final resting place in the cemetery accompanied by a guard of honour.
The cemetery aims to be what is described as a pantheon for military heroes and top statesmen. The memorial complex was opened by Shoigu in June this year.
He was buried outdoors on an alley of heroes reserved for those who have made an irreplaceable contribution to Russia's development.

Stalingrad 10 - Hero City
Stalingrad 10 - Hero City
The Battle of Stalingrad claimed almost two million casualties, making it the largest battle in human history, and also one of the longest. It raged for 199 days.
Numbers of casualties are difficult to compile due to the vast scope of the battle and the fact that the Soviet government did not allow estimates to be made, for fear the cost would be shown to be too high.
In its initial phases, the Germans inflicted heavy casualties on Soviet formations; but the Soviet encirclement by punching through the German flank, effectively besieged the remainder of the German Sixth Army, which had taken heavy casualties in street fighting prior to this.
At different times the Germans had held up to 90% of the city, yet the Soviet soldiers and officers fought on fiercely. Some elements of the German Fourth Panzer Army also suffered casualties in operations around Stalingrad during the Soviet counter offensive.
For the heroism of the Soviet defenders of Stalingrad, the city was awarded the title Hero City in 1945.
Twenty-four years after this battle, in October 1967, a colossal monument, Mother Motherland was erected on Mamayev Kurgan, the hill overlooking the city.
The statue forms part of a War memorial complex which includes ruined walls deliberately left the way they were after the battle. The Grain Silo, as well as Pavlov's House, the apartment building whose defenders eventually held out for two months until they were relieved, can still be visited. Even today, one may find bones and rusty metal splinters on Mamayev Kurgan, symbols of both the human suffering during the battle and the successful yet costly resistance against the German invasion.

There are people, who - excuse my youth jargon - have lost their mind. Some keep saying to this day, that our nation should be split, and they are still trying to spread these theories. Some believe that we are too lucky to possess too much natural wealth, which they say must be divided. But they themselves don't want to share their wealth with anyone, of course. And we must take this into account, as well. We must remain aware that all this exists in the world, too.

STORYLINE
Russians in the capital and across the country marked National Unity Day on Sunday, including far-right nationalists appropriating for their own cause a new holiday created by the Kremlin to promote patriotism.
National Unity Day was created by Putin in 2005 to replace a holiday dedicated to the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution that had been celebrated on November 7 during Soviet times.
Putin, together with cadets of the Nakhimov and Suvorov military colleges and with representatives of youth organisations, laid a wreath at the monument to Russian heroes Minin and Pozharsky near the Red Square.
After the ceremony Vladimir Putin said that there are people in the world who wish to split Russia and take over its vast natural resources and others that would like to rule over all mankind, a veiled reference to the United States.
Speaking in front of Moscow's iconic St. Basil's Cathedral on Red Square, Putin told a group of military cadets and youth group members that while an overwhelming majority of people in the world are friendly toward Russia there are some that keep saying to this day that our nation should be split.
Some believe that we are too lucky to possess so much natural wealth, which they say must be divided, Putin added.
Putin said such people have lost their mind,.
Putin, whose two-term presidency ends next year, said Russia will continue playing an active role in foreign policy and there are many people who look to Russia as a defender of small nations' rights and interests.
One of Sunday's rallies was staged by the staged by the far-right Movement Against
supremacist group.

Money Talks: Russia unveils statue of Mikhail Kalashnikov
Mikhail Kalashnikov invented the AK-47 assault rifle in 1947. The first model of the AK-47 was used by the Soviet army in 1948. It was initially designed to be cheap and reliable. Today the AK-47 is considered one of the world's most widely used assault rifles. More than 200 million Kalashnikov rifles are in circulation worldwide. That is one for every 35 people. And on September 19, 2017, a statue honoring Mikhail Kalashnikov’s profitable contribution to the arms business was unveiled in Moscow.

Great Patriotic War Museum in Minsk _ Belarus
Great Patriotic War Museum in Minsk _ Belarus
The Belarusian State Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War was the world’s first museum to tell the story of the bloodiest war of the 20th century, and the only one in Belarus created during the years of Nazi occupation.
Today it is one of the most important and biggest war museums in the world, along with the well-stocked museums in Moscow, Kiev, and New Orleans.
…In those terrible years Belarus lost every third resident. More than 3 million people died, including about 50,000 partisans and underground fighters. Throughout the country there were 250 death camps, including the infamous Trostenets, one of the largest after Auschwitz, Majdanek and Treblinka...
History of the Museum
The collection of the world's first museum of the Great Patriotic War was founded in June 1942 when no one could predict how long the war would last...
Future exhibits were sent directly from the frontlines to the special republican commission which was set up to collect the documents and materials about the Great Patriotic War. The commission was working out from Moscow where it was evacuated to during the war. Among the museum’s first assets were the chronicles about the partisan movement, printed and handwritten books, handmade weapons...
For nearly six months there was gap in the frontline near Vitebsk, the so-called Vitebsk Gate. Valuable items, material evidence of the atrocities of the enemy were brought through it to Moscow and were put on display in the State History Museum.
In November 1942 the Muscovites saw an impressive exposition titled as Belarus lives, Belarus is fighting, Belarus will remain Soviet. It stayed open until August 1944 when it was moved to the liberated Minsk.
The museum, the guardian of the memory about the courage and tragedy of the Belarusian people, was given one of the few intact buildings in the destructed and looted Minsk. It opened to the public on 22 October 1944.
The first expositions about the weapons of the partisans and military print media grew bigger with new rarities. Already in 1944 the museum workers explored the place of the Trostenets death camp. In 1949, they participated in the first excavations in the heroic Brest Fortress...
In 1966, the museum moved to a building specially built for it in the central square of Minsk (now Oktyabrskaya Square). A unique open-air exposition of military equipment and weapons was opened in 1977 next to the museum.
New Museum Building
New Museum BuildingOver decades of research into the Great Patriotic War the museum’s collection has grown many times: even now it gains 700—800 priceless rarities every year.
In the 21st century upon the initiative of the Belarus president plans were made to create new premises for the museum that will boast more exhibition space and modern technologies to tell and demonstrate more facts about the tragic war…
Prominent Belarusians took part in designing the premises, including co-author of the designs of the Minsk railway terminal and the National Library, professor of the International Architecture Academy Viktor Kramarenko, and also Leonid Levin one of the creators of the famous Khatyn Memorial, an Honored Architect of Belarus …
The renewed museum was solemnly opened on 2 July 2014 on the eve of Independence Day and was kind of a tribute to the 70th anniversary of Belarus’ liberation from the Nazi invaders.
Panorama of the Pobeditelei Avenue. Procession on Independence DayThe magnificent building with the total area of 15,600m2 was erected in a significant place of the Belarusian capital – in the Heroes Square next to the stela Minsk - Hero City and the museum and park complex Pobeda. Military parades and festive marches took place nearby – along the Pobeditelei Avenue.
The current premises of the museum are impressive not only due to their scale but also symbolism that reflects major milestones of the history of 1941-1945. The composition represents four main blocks to match the number of years of the war and the army fronts that took part in Belarus’ liberation.
The front facade looks like a festive salute: 11 sparkling rays made of stainless steel to symbolize the Great Victory and at the same time 1,100 tragic days and nights of Minsk’s occupation.
The project of new museum premises. The front facadeThe serious sheen of the metal used for the decoration speaks of the war while the golden sparkle of the glass signifies the victory and the greatest treasure that is peace.
The design of the new museum premises gently combines stupendous features and modern technologies. Glass niches are complemented with wide plasma screens. Thanks to laser lights “the rays of the salute” seem to penetrate the night sky underscoring the overall outline of the entire museum premises.

Russia/Moscow (Alexander Gardens) by night Part 8
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Alexander Gardens (Russian: Александровский сад) was one of the first urban public parks in Moscow, Russia. The park comprises three separate gardens, which stretch along all the length of the western Kremlin wall for 865 metres (2,838 ft) between the building of the Moscow Manege and the Kremlin.
After the Napoleonic Wars, Tsar Alexander I ordered architect Osip Bove to reconstruct parts of the city which had been destroyed by French troops. Bove laid out a new garden from 1819-1823, on the site of the riverbed of the Neglinnaya River, which was channeled underground.
Upper Garden
Towards the main entrance to the park is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame brought from the Field of Mars in Leningrad. Created in 1967, it contains the body of a soldier who fell during the Great Patriotic War at the kilometer 41 marker of Leningradskoe Shosse, the nearest point the forces of Nazi Germany penetrated towards Moscow. Post Number One, where the honor sentinels stand on guard, used to be located in front of Lenin's Mausoleum, but was moved to the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier in the 1990s. The middle section of the upper garden contains a faux ruined grotto built underneath the Middle Arsenal Tower. Although not constructed until 1841, this was part of Bove's original design. The garden's cast iron gate and grille were designed to commemorate the Russian victories over Napoleon, and its rocks are rubble from buildings destroyed during the French occupation of Moscow.
In front of the grotto is an obelisk erected on July 10 1914, a year after the tercentenary of the Romanov dynasty was celebrated. The monument made of granite from Finland listed all of the Romanov Tsars and had the coats of arms of the (Russian) provinces. Four years later, the dynasty was gone, and the Bolsheviks (per Lenin’s directive on Monumental propaganda) removed the imperial eagle, and re-carved the monument with a list of 19 socialist and communist philosophers and political leaders, personally approved by Lenin. Originally in the Lower Garden, it was relocated to its present location in 1966. There is discussion to remove Lenin's and reinstall an obelisk duplicating the original.
The wrought iron grille, enclosing this part of the garden, has a design of fasces, which are intended to commemorate the military victory over Napoleon.
The northern part of the garden is adjacent to the large underground shopping complex at Manege Square.
Middle Garden
The most prominent feature of the Middle Garden is the outlying Kutafya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin. There is an entrance to the park opposite the tower directly to the Moscow Metro system.
Lower Garden
Laid out in 1823, the Lower Garden stretches to the road leading to the Borovitskaya Tower, one of two vehicular and pedestrian entrances to the Kremlin.Wikipedia
