Russia: places to visit | Tula is the capital of Russian weapons
This is our first video in our “Must See” series where I’ll tell you what things in Russia are worth your time to see and what should be avoided at all costs.
↓↓↓↓ Must See ↓↓↓↓
In this episode, we are visiting Tula. Some call it the “city of craftsmen” because ever since Medieval times a lot of tools, weapons, and other goods were made right here.
You’ll definitely feel the productive spirit in Tula at some of its museums, especially the Tula State Museum of Weapons. It is impossible to not notice this unique helmet shaped building that houses the Arms Museum, which is one of the biggest of its kind in the world. If you are at all interested in melee Russian weapons, hunting and sport rifles and/or hardcore military tech then coming here would be a good idea. You will definitely get inspired. If you want to know more about the history of when those weapons were used in medieval Russia then check out the Tula Kremlin right smack in the middle of downtown.
It may seem like Tula is all about arms which are only partially true. Tula is also the home to the totally non-violent Pryanik cookies and inside the Tula Kremlin, there is a museum where they will show you how to make one of these Russian sweets with your own hands. And since they seem to last forever they are a great gift to take back home. Locals consider their Pryanik cookies to be the supreme Russian biscuit with a totally unique flavor that you can only get here in Tula.
Tula may have a unique taste but it also has a unique sound, the sound of accordions! Tula is still a leader in accordion production to this day. Not only can you see accordions but hear them and learn to play songs for yourself. Who knows maybe you can take one home to impress (and/or annoy) your friends and family around Christmas?
All this and more will be in our next video. After that, we will have our first “Must Eat” where you’ll experience the best food that Tula has to offer and see where you absolutely must stop to eat while visiting this fantastic city. Food and vacation go hand-in-hand so our Must Eat series should be a great help to those who want to experience Russian food the right way!

Museum visits (historical arms and armor) in Sankt Petersburg, Russia (December 11-15, 2014)
December 10, 2014: I flew to Russia on December 10. To be more precise I took the plane to the magnificent city of Sankt Petersburg. My good friend Aleksey Kuochnin picked me up in the airport. Aleksey is truly a great friend and had already organized a seminar on Indian and Persian swordsmanship the previous year in Moscow. I was really happy to see Aleksey. Aleksey is an avid practitioner of Indian martial arts, a very good researcher with published articles on antique arms and armor and has also very good contacts to the Russian museums.

Travel to the battle of Kulikovo | One of the best places to visit in Russia
Hello everyone! Our trip to Tula continues but this time we are going outside of the city to visit the vast fields where the Russians and Mongol Empire fought at the Battle of Kulikovo. This open set of gorgeous fields and plains has more than just military history to it, and it is fantastic to take the quiet rural Russia tour you’ve been dreaming of. Well, I have been dreaming of it, I am so sick of the city!
• TripAdvisor: Museum and Memorial to the Heroes of the Kulikovo Battle ►
The centerpiece of this region and one of the best places to visit in Russia has got to be the Kulikovo Battlefield Museum. It is a gorgeous, interactive and informative attraction that will make anyone happy who loves historical places. The building itself is divided into two separate halves to look like lines of the Russians and Mongols clashing.
I must say that you tourism fans should not pass on the chance to see the giant black iron column that is a short drive from the museum. It’s really something! So we’ve shown you Tula but now take a look at the gorgeous region around it!

Kaluga, my Kaluga sung by Orion
Kaluga is located on the Central Russian Upland , on both banks of the Oka River, in the European part of Russia; 161 km from Moscow and about 100 km west of Tula . The official date of the foundation of the city is 1371, although settlements were established on the site, long before this date....when a border fortress on the southwestern borders of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, was established here.. Kaluga,or Koluga, as the settlement was refered to, comes from the Old Russian word meaning - bog/ quagmire...In the Middle Ages Kaluga was a minor settlement owned by the Princes Vorotynsky. The ancestral home of these princes lies southwest of the modern city and during the 14th century, Kaluga became an object of struggle between Moscow and the Lithuanian princes. Between 1601 -1603, the town experienced the Great Famine which covered most of the European territory of the Russian kingdom during the reign of Boris Godunov.....Similar to many towns in Imperial Russia, Kaluga saw a rise and fall in its fortunes and by the end of the XIX century, saw it turn into a quiet provincial city.
The First World War was a hard test for Kaluga and its residents, making changes in all spheres of life. Kaluga, like the entire Russian province, provided the army with the necessary human, food, material and technical resources in the face of the growing economic crisis engendered by the war...
Following the October Revolution, the Soviets experienced difficulties in securing power here since petty-bourgeois political parties were active in the city . The power of the Soviets in the city was only established by armed means with the help of the revolutionary detachments of Moscow. After the end of the Civil War, the Soviet authorities revived factories, set up the production of military products and established collective farms....
Unlike many towns and cities in Western Russia, the occupation by the Nazis in 1941 was short lived and lasted from October 12 to December 30, 1941 , when the city was completely liberated by units of the Red Army .....
In 1967, the Museum of the History of Cosmonautics was opened , the first in the world and the largest in Russia , created with the direct participation of Sergei Korolev and Yuri Gagarin .

Усадьба Поленово | Museum V.D. Polenova
Приближаются выходные дни и Вы не знаете чем заняться?
Конечно же, отправляйтесь в путешествие! Это самое приятное занятие для семьи!
Сегодня мы вместе с Вами отправляемся на 100 км на юг от Москвы, на реку Ока, в Государственный мемориальный историко-художественный и природный музей-заповедник Василия Дмитриевича Поленова.
* * *
Василий Дмитриевич Поленов (20 мая [1 июня] 1844, Санкт-Петербург — 18 июля 1927, усадьба Борок, Тульская область) — русский художник, мастер исторической, пейзажной и жанровой живописи, педагог. Народный художник Республики (1926).
Василий Поленов родился в многодетной, культурной дворянской семье. Его отец, Дмитрий Васильевич Поленов, был известным археологом и библиографом. Мать, Мария Алексеевна, урождённая Воейкова, писала книги для детей, занималась живописью. Дядя художника, М. В. Поленов (1823—1882), был сенатором.
Ярким детским впечатлением Поленова были поездки на север, в Олонецкий край с его девственной природой, и в Ольшанку Тамбовской губернии, в имение бабушки В. Н. Воейковой. Вера Николаевна, дочь известного архитектора Николая Львова, воспитанная после ранней смерти родителей в доме Гаврилы Державина, хорошо ориентировалась в русской истории, знала народную поэзию, любила рассказывать внукам русские народные сказки, былины, предания. В этой атмосфере сформировался художественный вкус Поленова...
В 1892 году поленовский музей стал первым в России художественным музеем в деревне, доступным самому широкому кругу посетителей. И в смутные времена, когда в России еще не существовало охранных законов и учреждений, занимающихся музейными вопросами, судьба хранила Дом.
В мае 1918 года был одним из первых музеев в стране, взятых под охрану государством как не подлежащий конфискации и объявленный национальным достоянием.
В 1924 году Постановлением СНК РСФСР усадьба «Борок» была предоставлена в пожизненное пользование семье Поленовых.
Художник скончался в возрасте 83 года 18 июля 1927 года в своей усадьбе и был похоронен на сельском кладбище в селе Бёхово на крутом берегу Оки, где он так часто любил рисовать этюды. Над его могилой, согласно завещанию, установлен олонецкий крест. В имении Имоченицы Олонецкой губернии 10-летний городской житель Вася Поленов когда-то впервые близко познакомился с природой.
Церковь Святой Троицы в Бёхове, построенная В.К. Поленовым - хороша видна с противоположного берега Оки. Поленов с радостью откликнулся на личную просьбу крестьян построить для них церковь, прекрасно понимая, что именно церковь – то связующее звено, которое духовно объединяет все слои населения. Но была и ещё одна причина, которую Поленов объяснил в письме к другу: «Наша Церковь, которая признает и живопись, и музыку, и поэзию, наряду с Домом молитвы уже есть Храм искусства, и это ее огромная сила и значение, как в прошедшем, так и в настоящем и будущем».

Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin
The Kremlin, the cradle of Nizhny Novgorod, is the single most important and biggest landmark in the city. Some local historians have a simple explanation for why the founder of Nizhny Novgorod Yury (or Georgy) Vsevolodovich, the grandson of the founder of Moscow, Yury Dolgorukiy, built the Kremlin on the high bank of the Volga: he was enchanted by the view of the Strelka and beyond, opening up from the hills. The view is indeed tantalizing, but security must have been his other consideration. Even when the fortress was all wooden, it offered solid protection from the enemies, while the river on the other side served as a natural barrier. The Kremlin was rebuilt in stone in the 16th century. The tea.m. of architects and builders from Pskov was joined by the Italian architect Pietro Francesco, who was known in Russia as Piotr Fryazin.
The Kremlin has 13 towers. Some of them have survived intact, others have been restored. No two towers are alike architecturally and each has its own cache of legends.
Now, as centuries ago, the main entrance to the Kremlin is through St. Demetrios Tower, the largest Kremlin tower. It was named in honour of the Church of St. Demetrios of Thessaloniki, which had once stood in front of it. That church was later replaced by the Church of the Annunciation, which, similarly to three other churches on Kremlin grounds, would not survive the years of Soviet rule.
The 18th-century buildings inside the Kremlin currently house the Legislative Assembly, the Philharmonic and the Arbitration Court. The Soviet-era architectural landmarks next door are home to the regional government, the office of the envoy plenipotentiary of the President of Russia in the Volga Federal District, the city Mayor’s Office and the local Duma. The Modern Art Museum occupies the Czarist-era military arsenal building. The Art Museum is based in the former Governor’s Mansion, and the Military Technology Museum is deployed outdoors. All the military equipment on display was manufactured in Nizhny Novgorod, and all is in good working order. Perhaps the most monumental piece of machinery on show is the T-34 tank, manufactured by Krasnoe Sormovo Factory, standing next to the Eternal Flame and the sculptural memorial commemorating the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War.
Apart from its incontestable historical value, the Kremlin is dear to every Nizhny Novgorod resident on a personal level. Prom parties and lovers hang out on the sloping edge of Kremlin Boulevard till dawn, newlyweds bring flowers to the Eternal Flame on their wedding day, and parents bring their children here for New Year’s Eve parties at the Philharmonic inside the Kremlin walls.

Поле Куликово 15.09.2018г.
Мы приносим РАДОСТЬ!
Военно-исторический фестиваль Поле Куликово 15.09.2018г.
Субботний праздник на Куликовом поле обозначил новую дату в современной истории. 638 годовщину Куликовской битвы отметили поклонники истории.
Воинские ритуалы и богослужения в храмах, широкая ярмарка и гуляния – так проходили торжества в память о победе Дмитрия Донского еще в XIX веке. Эти традиции живы и в XXI веке, но последние двадцать лет выдвинули на первый план поклонников живой истории – реконструкторов. С бытом и культурой Руси и Золотой Орды, которые они изучают и возрождают, спешат пообщаться тысячи туристов.
Из года в год в программе праздника живая история и память о событии переплетаются. Вот с самого утра готовятся сражаться финалисты турнира по историческому фехтованию, устанавливает круг гончар, раздувают меха кузнец и бусодел, выкладывают товары мастера и торговцы… Мечи и ножи, украшения и пояса, доспехи и одежда – торжище предложит уникальные товары и участникам военно-исторического движения, и простым обывателям. А у храма готовятся пройти маршем десантники, возглавив колонну почетных гостей. Торжественный митинг и лития по воинам XIV века проходят у памятника-колонны Дмитрию Донскому.
И день сегодняшний уступает место прошлому. На дружинный поклон к монументу стекаются участники военно-исторического фестиваля. Как шесть веков назад княжества спешили на зов Дмитрия Ивановича, так и сегодня реконструкторы из десятков российских городов и ближнего зарубежья съезжаются на берег Дона. Москва и Подмосковье, Санкт-Петербург и Иваново, Саратов, Череповец, Ижевск, Белгород, Железногорск, Орел, Тверь, Пенза, Липецкая и Тульская области, Рязань, Владимир, Казань, Тамбов, Бобров, Ростов-на-Дону, Краснознаменск, Великий Новгород, Выборг, Псков, Борисоглебск, Рыбинск, Брянск, Харьков. Они тоже сыграют свою роль в Куликовском сражении. Кто-то - на стороне Орды, кого-то поведет в бой под своими знаменами Дмитрий Донской. Итог битвы знаком с детства. Но увидеть летописную историю вживую – дорогого стоит. Схватка сторож, поединок Пересвета и Челубея, сражающиеся конницы и пешая рать, спасительное для войска князя Дмитрия вступление Засадного полка, бегство Мамая и победа русского войска… Так шесть веков назад отстаивали наши предки свою независимость. Так помнят об их подвигах потомки сегодня.
Продолжить знакомство с историей можно на интерактивных площадках. С каждым годом их все больше и больше. Здесь ведется рассказ о средневековой кухне, раскатывают и жарят лепешки. Мальчишки пробуют плести кольчуги, девчонки мастерят серьги. Вот мальчуган упорно пилит зажатый в клещах станка рог – собирается сделать себе амулет. Рядом школяры изучают ордынскую азбуку и учатся писать. У юрты ажиотаж. Можно зайти в гости к ханше и сфотографироваться в интерьере. Примерить кольчугу и главное научиться правильно снимать ее, погадать на костях, слепить сосуд и отлить бусину, сразиться на мечах… Можно застрять в Средневековье надолго. Но рядом и другие эпохи предлагают свои загадки. Устал от событий шестивековой давности – отправляйся к стрельцам или перенесись в двадцатый век в историю Великой Отечественной.
Праздник на Куликовом поле в этом году развернулся на двух площадках. На Красном холме, и на территории нового музейного комплекса неподалеку. И тут, и там звучала историческая музыка в исполнении любимцев публики фолк-групп «Сколот» и «Teufelstans». Утреннюю сцену в комплексе организаторы отдали «Spiritual Seasons». А на Красном холме традиционно выступил Губернаторский духовой оркестр, тульские фольклорные танцевальные и песенные коллективы, победители детских конкурсов песни и Детский духовой оркестр Тульской областной детской музыкальной школы им. Г.З. Райхеля.
Завершили праздник в музейном комплексе поединки российских и зарубежных участников Международного турнира по историческому средневековому бою на приз «Куликова поля».

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.

Tarkhanov continued his studies at VKhUTEMAS, the famous school of Russian Avant-garde art from 1921 through 1927 under such prominent Russian Avant-garde artists as Vasili (Wassily) Kandinsky, Vladimir Favorsky, and Nikolay Kupreyanov
Friend of V. Favorsky and V. Kandinsky. Exhibited in 1919 (Moscow) with Rodchenko; in 1926 (Moscow) with Kliun, Lissitzky; in 1931 (Paris) with Altman, Klutsis, Lebedev, Popova (p/h), Telingater, etc.
Mikhail Tarkhanov created a unique and previously undiscovered series of non-objective water-based and starch-textured compositions, which he called Picturesque-Textured Improvisations.
While Tarkhanov was widely known for his works in book design, the restrictions of Socialist Realism from 1932/1933 until his death prohibited him from openly exhibiting any of abstractions.
After the Soviet Union dictated Socialist Realism as its official style, abstract work became dangerous. Tarkhanov made secret abstractions at the same time as his official work for various Soviet institutions. Only a small number of people knew about his underground activity. Avant-garde style still was tolerated then for exhibition design, and many prominent figures, including Lissitzky, Suetin, Stenberg, and Klutsis, turned to that field. Tarkhanov worked internationally and nationally, designing Soviet exhibits organized by VOKS in Paris, London, and New York, as well as domestic exhibits at the State Literary Museum, the Rare Book Museum, and others.
Tarkhanov's distinguished pedagogic career began in 1929. He was appointed to lead the various graphic disciplines at the Moscow Polygraphic College in 1930-1941. He was professor at the Institute of Applied and Decorative Arts (MIPIDI) in 1944-1952, etc.
In 1947 M. Tarkhanov was nominated to the Senior Lecturer position.
Tarkhanov gave numerous lectures on art including lectures in State Academy of Artistic Sciences.He also wrote various articles including articles for VKhUTEIN and the periodicals Polygraphic Production
Tarkhanov's works are recognized at home and abroad. They may be seen in the former Soviet Union in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, and other major museums. Several years ago the Getty Center, known for its collections of Avant-garde materials such as the Lissitzky archive, Bauhaus works and others, acquired 31 works by Mikhail Tarkhanov.

Frontline at Znamenka: Watch in the name of Culture
We kindly ask you to distribute this film.
On 28 April 2017 Maliy Znamensky lane was marked by a Frontline, an invisible line which divided the 26 year history of the International Center of the Roerichs (ICR) into the period “before” and “after”.
In the past the International Center of the Roerichs and its non-governmental Museum named after Nicholas Roerich were recognized internationally, they organized travelling exhibitions, international scientific conferences, issued books and magazines... And now the Museum is destroyed by the Ministry of Culture and the Roerichs heritage seized.
It means that there should be a non-governmental control over the actions of the intruders here at Frontline. The documentary covers the history of the establishment of the non-governmental Museum named after Nicholas Roerich, its heyday and barbarous destruction. Please, help to spread the documentary, so that more people would know the truth about an unprecedented tragedy of our culture.
***
Foes are currently trying to destroy the International Center of the Roerichs under the pretext of protection of state interests. They are attempting to liquidate this non-governmental organization through forced bankruptcy by imposing enormous taxes and fines amounting to 60 million rubles. On October 29, 2019, the Arbitration Court of Moscow is to hold a hearing, in the outcome of which the International Center of the Roerichs might be declared bankrupt.
