Russians and vodka - From Moscow to Murmansk
That the Russians like to drink is a known fact. Vodka is the national drink and wherever you come, whether you want it or not, for a vodka or two, there is always a good reason to have a drink. Apart from being a source of fraternization, vodka is also the source of a lot of sorrow.
Original title: The spirit in the bottle
In the first series: From Moscow to Magadan, Jelle Brandt Corstius traveled from West to East, focusing on the endless Russian countryside and the villages. In this second series: From Moscow to Murmansk, he travels from North to South along the largest river of Russia: the Volga River. A trip along the relatively unknown cities like Murmansk, Volgograd, Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, but also to Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Through topics like women in Russia, new censorship, the environmental problem from Russian perspective and the ideological vacuum, a relatively unknown side of Russia is once again exposed.
Presented by: Jelle Brandt Corstius
Final editor: Gert-Jan Hox
Directed by: Hans Pool

Megalodon (/ˈmɛɡələdɒn/ meg-ə-lə-don; meaning big tooth, from Ancient Greek: μέγας (megas) big, mighty + ὀδόν (odon) (from ὀδούς (odous) tooth),[1] is an extinct species of shark that lived approximately 28 to 1.5 million years ago, during the Cenozoic Era (late Oligocene to early Pleistocene).
The taxonomic assignment of C. megalodon has been debated for nearly a century, and is still under dispute. The two major interpretations are Carcharodon megalodon (under family Lamnidae) or Carcharocles megalodon (under family Otodontidae).[2] Consequently, the scientific name of this species is commonly abbreviated C. megalodon in the literature.
C. megalodon is regarded as one of the largest and most powerful predators in vertebrate history,[3] and likely had a profound impact on the structure of marine communities.[4] Fossil remains suggest that this giant shark reached a maximum length of 14--18 metres (46--59 ft),[3] and also affirm that it had a cosmopolitan distribution.[2] Scientists suggest that C. megalodon looked like a stockier version of the great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk documentary w/ subtitles - In Turkey
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk swept together the ruins of the Ottoman Empire and founded the modern Republic of Turkey in 1923. The reforms of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk were a revolution in all respects: he replaced Sharia law with European laws, separating religion and state, exchanged the Arabic script for the Latin.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk made the big difference between Turkey and the Middle East. Ataturk's been dead 72 years and although Turks stubbornly stick to his ideas, his legacy is under pressure.
Original title: The Father of the Turks
In this seven-part series Bram Vermeulen travels through Turkey - From Istanbul to the sparsely populated mountains in the east; from the closed borders of Armenia to the open southern borders shared with neighboring Arab countries - observing the rapid changes in a country that has a renewed fresh confidence.

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
=======
Abkhazia ( (listen); Abkhazian: Аҧсны́, translit. Apsny [apʰsˈnɨ]; Georgian: აფხაზეთი Apxazeti [ɑpʰxɑzɛtʰi]; Russian: Абха́зия, tr. Abházija, IPA: [ɐˈpxazʲɪjə]), officially the Republic of Abkhazia, is a de facto and partially recognized republic on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, south of the Greater Caucasus mountains, in northwestern Georgia. It covers 8,660 square kilometres (3,340 sq mi) and has a population of around 240,000. Its capital is Sukhumi. The separatist Abkhazian polity, formally the Republic of Abkhazia, is recognised as a state by Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nauru and Syria. While Georgia lacks control over Abkhazia, the Georgian government and most United Nations member states legally consider Abkhazia part of Georgia, whose constitution designates the area as the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia.
The status of Abkhazia is a central issue of the Georgian–Abkhazian conflict and Georgia–Russia relations. The region had autonomy within Soviet Georgia at the time when the Soviet Union began to disintegrate in the late 1980s. Simmering ethnic tensions between the Abkhaz—the region's titular ethnicity—and Georgians—the largest single ethnic group at that time—culminated in the 1992–1993 War in Abkhazia which resulted in Georgia's loss of control of most of Abkhazia, the de facto independence of Abkhazia, and the ethnic cleansing of Georgians from Abkhazia. Despite the 1994 ceasefire agreement and years of negotiations, the dispute remains unresolved. The long-term presence of a United Nations Observer Mission and a Russian-led Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) peacekeeping force failed to prevent the flare-up of violence on several occasions. In August 2008, Abkhaz forces fought against Georgian forces during the Russo-Georgian War, which led to the formal recognition of Abkhazia by Russia, the annulment of the 1994 ceasefire agreement, and the termination of the UN mission. On 28 August 2008, the Parliament of Georgia declared Abkhazia a Russian-occupied territory, a stance supported by the vast majority of the international community.

SIBERIA: PRESIDENT YELTSIN PROMISES TO PAY MINERS UNPAID WAGES
Russian/Nat
Desperate to stay in power for another term, President Yeltsin turned his election campaign into a spending spree, promising (m) millions of dollars of unpaid salaries to Russia's disgruntled industrial workers.
Russia's miners had threatened industrial action for the non-payment of wages, but Yeltsin promised them payment in full for their valuable support.
Two weeks after his victory, the miners still have not been paid.
One thousand Siberian miners went on strike on Wednesday -- they haven't been paid for five months and are fast losing patience with Yeltsin and his government.
The statue of the founding father of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Lenin, still dominates the Siberian city of Kemerovo, but the elite status given to Russia's miners has long disappeared.
For Russia's Bolshevik leaders, coal was the bread of industry.
In the heady days of industrialisation, the Soviet Union's miners were glorified as the proletarian elite.
Although the Kuzbass region boasts enough fossil fuel to last another hundred years, it is increasingly difficult to dig coal as production costs rise.
Forced to use obsolete equipment, miners subject their lives to extreme danger -- at least one life is lost for every (m) million tons of coal produced.
The wages are low and miners are not paid for months on end.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
I'm struck by how much patience people have. They go on working but receive no pay. When Yeltsin first came to power he promised a lot - even promised to throw himself on the railway tracks if the miners lived poorly. But for some reason he just didn't want to come to Kuzbass this time. He's visited almost every region apart from Kuzbass.
SUPER CAPTION: Alexander Makarov, mineworker
Five years ago Russia's miners helped Yeltsin come to power -- but today his standing in Kuzbass is at an all-time low.
During this summer's presidential elections, Yeltsin's arch-rival Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov won in the Kemerovo region with a solid 10 percent margin.
The area, the size of Hungary, accounts for 80 percent of Russia's coal production.
The livelihood of one in three families depends on work in the region's 100 mines.
The average monthly pay is 300 U-S dollars and even that hasn't been paid in most mines since April.
Miners live in shabby housing with no hope ever to improve their living conditions.
But managers at the Kedrovsky open cast mine have proved that the situation is not completely hopeless.
Employing 3,700 workers, the mine turns out 3.8 (m) million tons of coal a year.
But unlike other enterprises which are waiting for government money to pay their workers, management here is selling coal to customers in Turkey and other foreign countries and getting hard currency in return.
The monthly wages at Kedrovsky are over one thousand dollars -- three times the national average.
The management spends a significant share of its sale revenues to build housing for its workers.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Not too long ago we took down the last barracks. In our times people still lived in barracks which were built in 1950. If we had kept these people living there in those barracks, then people would not have wanted to work or would have worked poorly. They would have nothing to strive for. We ought to help our workers.
SUPER CAPTION: Albert Kolesnikov, Deputy General Director, Kedrovsky
Open cast Mine
The result is the Greek Village, a settlement of luxury houses built for the work force by a Greek construction company.
But for people like Ekaterina Gryaznova, such housing is just a dream.
Although she voted for Yeltsin, Ekaterina has begun to give up on the government and Yeltsin - she's looking to a higher power for help.

Russian politician Zhirinovsky funny interview (English subs)
FOR SUBTITLES TURN CAPTIONS (CC) ON.
RECOMMENDED to read the introduction of the description.
This video is an interview of Zhirinovsky at newspaper and radio station ''Komsomolskaya pravda''.
This is one of the funniest Zhirinovsky's interview. Mainly because of the fragment of this interview where he spoke about various topical subjects. He actually speaks his mind here, and even uses some inappropriate language. I think, he don't actually care, but it's funny.
2 main subjects of this interview are situation in Syria, and elections for Moscow mayor. He gives his evaluation about them, of course. He also speaks about immigrants problem, and some other subjects.
So have fun, and have a few laughs.
This interview was made on: 31/08/2013.
Abbreviations:
FO - Foreign Office
FSS - Federal Security Service
SECC - State of Emergency Central Committee
CPSU - Communist Party of Soviet Union
UIS -- Union of Independent States
Remarks:
1. In Russia we have an expression, ''these was only flowers, berries will come later''. That means it's like you didn't see anything yet, this was not a big deal, the main events, the real thing will come later.
2. He mentions some unknown politicians, so I addjusted their names so you can easily find it in Google and see their faces or read about them (not that anyone would want to, but just in case).
3. In Russian word ''apple'' is ''yа́bloko''. The party's name is suppose to be YaBL, and if you switch some letters places, it would be ''blyа́'', which doesn't exactly mean ''fuck'', but it's the closest.
4. Alе́shka is diminutive for Alexei. Usually kids are called like this.
5. If you are curious this is the song (1996):
Олег Газманов / Oleg Gazmanov - Москва / Moskau
This is its Youtube name.
6. Poetry:
Eng: Alexander Sergeievich Pushkin - Moscow... what surge that sound can start In every Russian's inmost heart!
Rus: Александр Сергеевич Пушкин - Москва! Как много в этом звуке...
(1823 - 1831)
7. Desemberers are called the people who organized, initiated and participated in revolution in, at that time, Russian Empire on Desember 1905.
8. In Russian, the words ''strange'' and ''shitty'' are very similar. They sound like this: strange - strа́nniy, shitty - srа́niy.
9. Also, the word ''old'' souds kinda similar to ''shitty'' as well - stа́riy.
10. ''Dad'' or ''daddy'' is how people calling Lukashenko in Russian speaking countries. I guess because he is strict like a father can be sometimes.
Thanks for watching!

Borderland - E1/8 - Misty Land
In this fifth series Jelle Brandt Corstius explores the border countries between Russia and Europe, from Latvia to Moldavia, West and East Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. What is the picture that the Russians and their neighbours have of each other, how are the relationships between powerful Russia and the other former Soviet republics? And how do the surrounding countries treat their Russian inhabitants? A series about propaganda and identity.
Episode 1: Misty Land
Moldavia is the poorest country in Europe. No wonder that all the young people flee the country looking for work. The Moldavians who stay behind have to make do with the money sent to them from abroad. Here, too, pressure from Russia is great, and so is dependence. Most of the country's gas comes from Russia. Jelle visits the area of Transnistria, which in the nineteen nineties, after a bloody war, liberated itself from Moldavia and now wants to join Russia.
