Беслан. Помни / Beslan. Remember (english & español subs)
Всем привет. Мы - в Северной Осетии, небольшой республике на самом юге России.
15 лет назад здесь случился самый страшный теракт в нашей истории. 1 сентября прямо во время праздничной линейки террористы захватили школу №1 города Беслан. В заложниках оказалось более 1000 человек, три дня их удерживали без еды и воды в душном, тесном и обвешанном взрывчаткой спортзале.
Когда случился штурм, большая часть заложников была освобождена, но 334 человека погибли, 186 из них - дети.
Про Беслан снято много видео, но это совсем не причина не вспоминать про эту трагедию вновь.
Когда изучаешь обстоятельства этого теракта, хочется кричать и плакать - от ужаса, злобы, сочувствия и боли. В этом выпуске мы покажем людей, которые продолжают жить нормальной жизнью, как бы сильно по ним этот теракт ни ударил. Мы покажем, что Беслан - это не только кошмар 2004 года, но и очень сильные люди, которые уже полтора десятилетия ведут героическую борьбу за свое здоровье и счастье.
Ну и вообще - чем чаще и громче напоминать про Беслан, тем лучше. Вот наша логика:
- когда-то государство допустило ошибки, которые привели к беде;
- теперь государство должно окружить максимальной заботой всех, кто пострадал.
И только через эту заботу оно может заслужить прощение, а после - и доверие людей.
Делает ли государство все, чтобы его простили?
Делает ли государство все, чтобы ему доверяли?
Или кто-то очень стесняется этой темы и делает все, чтобы никогда и никак ее не касаться?
Все это мы и хотели узнать. Все что узнали - рассказываем вам.

Russia: One dead in gas blast at thermal power station, Penza
Mandatory Credit: Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations
At least one person was killed in what is suspected to be an industrial accident at the thermal power plant in Penza on Thursday.
Initial reports suggest a large gas blast brought the roof of the plant down, due to an equipment failure, while work was being carried out on the turbo-generator.
Rescue workers have launched a search operation, concerned that other workers may be trapped under the debris.

Попробуй такой же набор AXE ICE CHILL, как у меня:
Чемпион Тобольска приехал в Тарасовку, чтобы поговорить с чемпионом мира! Жека узнал у автора голевой в финале ЧМ-2014 Андре Шюррле, мудак ли Жозе Моуриньо, затестил его на знание русского мата и офигел, когда узнал, что Шюррле слушает Миллион алых роз Аллы Пугачевой.
А еще Томас Цорн ответил на самые острые вопросы от спартаковских болельщиков (в том числе о своем отце), Савин и Шюррле сыграли на жопу, а Жека своими глазами увидел тот самый незабитый пенальти в Туне и русифицировал Андре, слепив с ним настоящие русские пельмени для Томаса Тухеля.

Четвърти лекционен тур с Лъчезар Бояджиев - 22.10.2016
ВЪВЕДЕНИЕ В СЪВРЕМЕННОТО ИЗКУСТВО - СОФИЯ, 2016
ЛЕКЦИОННИ ТУРОВЕ С ЛЪЧЕЗАР БОЯДЖИЕВ
Четвърти лекционен тур - 22.10.2016
Тема на маршрута: Музея през „прозореца“ на града
На 22 октомври, се състоя последният четвърти лекционен тур от „Въведение в съвременното изкуство“, 2016 в София. Този път „обиколката“ на града бе на закрито – а именно в музея - Квадрат 500. Там участниците видяха колекцията през погледа на Лъчезар Бояджиев, който въз основа на конкретни произведения говори за града.
Лъчезар Бояджиев за последния четвърти лекционен тур:
Музеят през „прозореца” на града – ще ходим из Квадрата, но ще го гледаме през снимки от града!
Какво е съвремие и съ-временно? (Contemporaneity and con-temporary?)
Какво е „образ на времето”, който внушава един музей?
Какво е „експозиция” в града за разлика от експозицията в музея?
Защо градът и музеят не могат един без друг?
Защо София не е Скопие, и никога няма да бъде, въпреки че на онези, които „инвестират в идентичност” много им се иска?
Защо Квадрат 500 не е Лувъра и никога няма да бъде?
Защо въведението в съ-временното изкуство всъщност зависи изцяло от Вас?
Между другото ще стане дума и за:
- опакото на пространството;
- град и село;
- религия и бохема;
- идеология и форма;
- художници и бълдъзи;
- фотография и скулптура;
- живопис и днес.

Russian politics. ''Duel'' talk show. Zhirinovsky vs Raihelgauz. ''Gorbachev'' (English subs)
FOR SUBTITLES TURN CAPTIONS (CC) ON.
One more episode of ''Duel'' talk show with Vladimir Zhirinovsky participating.
This time he is going against Iosif Raihelgauz, some movie and theater director I've never heard before. The subject of this show is: Michail Gorbachev, and the role he played, mainly in the collapse of the Soviet Union, but also about good and bad things he had done.
For Zhirinovsky, this subject is almost as painful as October Revolution of 1917. So, he is like usual using his style. I gotta say, that he have been on this show for so many times, his experience really counts. One of Raihelgauz's supporters made him angry, talking about things Zhirinovsky tired of hearing of, and when Zhirinovsky responds to him, you can see that his hands were actually shaking! Raihelgauz, on the other hand, seeing that he's losing, at one moment I think he was ready to start crying. But of course he is no match. I think Zhirinovsky even realized it and backed down a little.
The arbitrator was some historian that repeated everything twice for some reason. He reminded me Johny ''Two Times'' from ''Goodfellas'' - ''I'm gonna get the paper get the paper'' lol.
Well... And Soloviev as always in his style.
Oh, and keep your hand on ''Pause'' button. They often talk at the same time, so you might need a moment to read everything.
This show was aired live on 30/05/2013.
Enjoy!
Thanks for watching!

1. 6-th constitutional article of 1977: Ruling and directing force of Soviet society, core of its political system, state's and social organizations, is Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

All political parties organizations are operating within Constitution of the USSR.
More or less.

SUMMARY
=======
Kazan (; Russian: Каза́нь, IPA: [kɐˈzanʲ]; Tatar: Казан) is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia. With a population of 1,243,500, it is the sixth most populous city in Russia.
Kazan lies at the confluence of the Volga and Kazanka Rivers in European Russia, about 715 kilometres (444 mi) east from Moscow. In the Late Middle Ages, Kazan was an important trade and political center within the Golden Horde. In 1438, the city became the capital of the Khanate of Kazan. In 1552, Kazan was captured by Ivan the Terrible and became part of Russia. The city was largely destroyed during Pugachev's Rebellion, but was later rebuilt during the reign of Catherine the Great. In the following centuries, Kazan grew to become a major industrial, cultural and religious center in Russia.
Kazan is renowned for its vibrant mix of Oriental and Russian cultures. In 2015, 2.1 million tourists visited Kazan, and 1.5 million tourists visited the Kazan Kremlin, a World Heritage Site. In April 2009, the Russian Patent Office granted Kazan the right to brand itself as the Third Capital of Russia. In 2009 it was chosen as the sports capital of Russia and it still is referred to as such.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky about genocide of Christians (English subs)
FOR SUBTITLES TURN CAPTIONS (CC) ON.
In this video, Zhirinovsky speaks about genocide of Christians in the world. The reason was that they (LDPR) wanted to approve a decree about condemning killings of Christians, only because they are Christians, called: ''About historical lessons, and about inadmissibility of oppressions against Christians in the modern world''. It got rejected.

STORYLINE
Kyrgyzstan is gearing up for parliamentary elections set to be held on Sunday, with local ethnic minorities concerned for their future after months of political instability and violence in the turbulent Central Asian Republic.
The vote for the newly empowered legislature could change significantly how the country is run, but for the southern city of Osh the scars of the recent clashes are slow to heal.
Deadly riots in June between ethnic Kyrgyz and minority Uzbeks left hundreds, mainly ethnic Uzbeks, dead and turned the once-bustling market town of Osh into a pale shadow of its former self.
The clashes claimed hundreds of lives, mainly among Uzbeks, and forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes.
The imminent priority here is on rebuilding houses destroyed during the violence, which forced tens of thousands from their homes.

SUMMARY
=======
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924), better known by the alias Lenin, was a Russian communist revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia and then the wider Soviet Union became a one-party communist state governed by the Russian Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, he developed political theories known as Leninism.
Born to a wealthy middle-class family in Simbirsk, Lenin embraced revolutionary socialist politics following his brother's 1887 execution. Expelled from Kazan Imperial University for participating in protests against the Russian Empire's Tsarist government, he devoted the following years to a law degree. He moved to Saint Petersburg in 1893 and became a senior Marxist activist. In 1897, he was arrested for sedition and exiled to Shushenskoye for three years, where he married Nadezhda Krupskaya. After his exile, he moved to Western Europe, where he became a prominent theorist in the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP). In 1903, he took a key role in a RSDLP ideological split, leading the Bolshevik faction against Julius Martov's Mensheviks. Encouraging insurrection during Russia's failed Revolution of 1905, he later campaigned for the First World War to be transformed into a Europe-wide proletarian revolution, which as a Marxist he believed would cause the overthrow of capitalism and its replacement with socialism. After the 1917 February Revolution ousted the Tsar and established a Provisional Government, he returned to Russia to play a leading role in the October Revolution, in which the Bolsheviks overthrew the new regime.
Lenin's Bolshevik government initially shared power with the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, elected soviets, and a multi-party Constituent Assembly, although by 1918 it had centralised power in the new Communist Party. Lenin's administration redistributed land among the peasantry and nationalised banks and large-scale industry. It withdrew from the First World War by signing a treaty with the Central Powers and promoted world revolution through the Communist International. Opponents were suppressed in the Red Terror, a violent campaign administered by the state security services; tens of thousands were killed or interned in concentration camps. His administration defeated right and left-wing anti-Bolshevik armies in the Russian Civil War from 1917 to 1922 and oversaw the Polish–Soviet War of 1919–1921. Responding to wartime devastation, famine, and popular uprisings, in 1921 Lenin encouraged economic growth through the market-oriented New Economic Policy. Several non-Russian nations secured independence after 1917, but three re-united with Russia through the formation of the Soviet Union in 1922. In increasingly poor health, Lenin died at his dacha in Gorki, with Joseph Stalin succeeding him as the pre-eminent figure in the Soviet government.
Widely considered one of the most significant and influential figures of the 20th century, Lenin was the posthumous subject of a pervasive personality cult within the Soviet Union until its dissolution in 1991. He became an ideological figurehead behind Marxism–Leninism and thus a prominent influence over the international communist movement. A controversial and highly divisive individual, Lenin is viewed by supporters as a champion of socialism and the working class, while critics on both the left and right emphasize his role as founder and leader of an authoritarian regime responsible for political repression and mass killings.

SUMMARY

Shenzhen ([ʂə́n.ʈʂə̂n] (listen)) is a major city in Guangdong Province, China; it forms part of the Pearl River Delta megalopolis north of Hong Kong. It holds sub-provincial administrative status, with powers slightly less than a province.
Shenzhen, which roughly follows the administrative boundaries of Bao'an County, officially became a city in 1979, taking its name from the former county town, whose train station was the last stop on the Mainland Chinese section of the railway between Canton and Kowloon. In 1980, Shenzhen was established as China's first special economic zone. Shenzhen's registered population as of 2017 was estimated at 12,905,000. However, the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee estimates that the population of Shenzhen is about 20 million, due to the large unregistered floating migrant population living in the city.

SUMMARY
=======
Josip Broz (Cyrillic: Јосип Броз, pronounced [jǒsip brôːz]; 7 May 1892 – 4 May 1980), commonly known as Tito (; Cyrillic: Тито, pronounced [tîto]), was a Yugoslav communist revolutionary and political leader, serving in various roles from 1943 until his death in 1980. During World War II, he was the leader of the Partisans, often regarded as the most effective resistance movement in occupied Europe. While his presidency has been criticized as authoritarian and concerns about the repression of political opponents have been raised, some historians consider him a benevolent dictator. He was a popular public figure both in Yugoslavia and abroad. Viewed as a unifying symbol, his internal policies maintained the peaceful coexistence of the nations of the Yugoslav federation. He gained further international attention as the chief leader of the Non-Aligned Movement, alongside Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Sukarno of Indonesia, and Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana.Broz was born to a Croat father and Slovene mother in the village of Kumrovec, Austria-Hungary (now in Croatia). Drafted into military service, he distinguished himself, becoming the youngest sergeant major in the Austro-Hungarian Army of that time. After being seriously wounded and captured by the Imperial Russians during World War I, he was sent to a work camp in the Ural Mountains. He participated in some events of the Russian Revolution in 1917 and subsequent Civil War. Upon his return home, Broz found himself in the newly established Kingdom of Yugoslavia, where he joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ).
He was General Secretary (later Chairman of the Presidium) of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (1939–1980) and went on to lead the World War II Yugoslav guerrilla movement, the Partisans (1941–1945). After the war, he was the Prime Minister (1944–1963), President (later President for Life) (1953–1980) of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). From 1943 to his death in 1980, he held the rank of Marshal of Yugoslavia, serving as the supreme commander of the Yugoslav military, the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA). With a highly favourable reputation abroad in both Cold War blocs, he received some 98 foreign decorations, including the Legion of Honour and the Order of the Bath.
Tito was the chief architect of the second Yugoslavia, a socialist federation that lasted from November 1942 until April 1992. Despite being one of the founders of Cominform, he became the first Cominform member to defy Soviet hegemony in 1948 and the only one in Joseph Stalin's time to manage to leave Cominform and begin with its own socialist program with elements of market socialism. Economists active in the former Yugoslavia, including Czech-born Jaroslav Vanek and Croat-born Branko Horvat, promoted a model of market socialism dubbed the Illyrian model, where firms were socially owned by their employees and structured on workers' self-management and competed with each other in open and free markets.
