Великий Новгород / Veliki Novgorod: 1900s
Дореволюционная Россия на фотографиях - Великий Новгород
Here I present an album of photographs, taken in the late 19th century, of the ancient Russian city of Veliky Novgorod, also known as Novgorod the Great. Novgorod is among the oldest cities in Russia, being founded in the late 10th century. Known for the variety and age of its medieval monuments, at its peak during the 14th century, the city was one of Europe's largest.......although over a hundred years old, these photographs show that Novgorod has changed little over time and provide a fascinating insight into this historical city......

SCRIPT
Hundreds of paratroopers and members of several sports clubs are taking part in a gruelling 160 kilometre (100-mile) Peace March near the city of Pskov in honour of Russia Day on June 12. The race started Monday in the village of Cherekha, and each participant must carry a 10-kilogramme (22-pound) pack and complete 40 kilometres (25 miles) per day.
Excluding teams from various sports clubs, there are 15 teams from various Airborne Divisions competing, and to win they must complete the course, including obstacles, with all members of the team. Both the start and finish lines are located near the memorial to troops from the 6th Company of 76th Pskov Division, dozens of whom died in fighting in Chechnya.

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.

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!
