The palace of Oleg in the Ryazan Kremlin. Panorama 360
The palace of Oleg is an architectural monument of the XVII - XIX centuries, the largest civil building of the Kremlin, which has an area of 2530 sq. M. It was built where until the 16th century the prince's court was located. The palace of Oleg is the former living quarters of the Ryazan bishops, the house church, the fraternal cells and the economic services were also housed in the building.
Rectangular in terms of a stone three-story building was built in stages: the first two floors (architect YK Ershov) - in the middle of the XVII century, the third floor (architect GL Mazukhin) - at the end of the XVII century. Later (1778 - 1780), the architect Ya.I. Schneider made an extension to the east side of the building, increasing its length to 94 m. In the XIX century, this part of the Oleg Palace was rebuilt by the provincial architect S.A. Shchetkin.
The building is completely museumed, there are expositions and exhibitions of the museum-reserve, stock collections are kept.

Цикл фильмов в жанре документальной драмы.
Это одна из старейших династий Европы. Князья и цари из дома Рюриковичей правили страной непрерывно на протяжении 740 лет. За это время Русское государство, ими созданное, выросло до размеров 5,4 миллиона квадратных километров и стало больше всей Европы.
История династии началась одновременно с историей государства. Однако начало это скрыто в густом тумане легенд. Мы никогда не узнаем, кем на самом деле был легендарный варяг Рюрик, и был ли он реальным историческим лицом. Зато мы знаем, кем были его потомки. Среди них были поэты и воины, святые и разбойники, законодатели и братоубийцы. Одни восходили на престол по праву рождения, другие – по приглашению, третьи – по трупам родных братьев, но законной их власть над огромной страной делала сама принадлежность к правящему дому Рюриковичей.
В истории династии было все – яростная борьба за власть и высокое самопожертвование, завоевания и потери, интриги и новые законы, пепел пожарищ и создание мировых шедевров, любовь и предательство. Рюриковичи укрепляли, обороняли, расширяли своё государство: кто-то – огнем и мечом, кто-то – миром и договором. Во время их правления сформировалась русской нация и возник феномен русской культуры. Именно Рюриковичи создали ту самую страну - трансконтинентальную полиэтничную державу, - в которой мы сегодня живём.

The swans of Nepryadva 1980 Lebedi nepryadvy EN & ES subs Russian animation
Subtitles can be chosen and activated with button at bottom screen.
Animation directed by Roman Davydov
The animation was made for the commemoration of the 600th remembrance day of the battle of Kulikov, where the prince of moscow for the firdt timerose up against a khan of the golden horde.
Davydov always had a nationalistic tendency bordering on white pride, slavic pride or whatever you call ultra nationalism. But that is also a sensitive spot in the Russian soul who sadly enough never underwent a de-stalinisation like the germans underwent a de-nazification, that washed out much of their ultra-nationalism.
However beautiful this animation is, there are tendencies in it one should be careful with.

SUMMARY
=======
Kievan Rus' (Old East Slavic: Рѹ́сь (Rus' ), Рѹ́сьскаѧ землѧ (Rus'skaya zemlya), Latin: Rus(s)ia, Ruscia, Ruzzia, Rut(h)enia) was a loose federation of East Slavic and Finnic peoples in Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century, under the reign of the Varangian Rurik dynasty. The modern nations of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine all claim Kievan Rus' as their cultural ancestors, with Belarus and Russia deriving their names from it.
At its greatest extent, in the mid-11th century, it stretched from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east, uniting the majority of East Slavic tribes.According to Russian historiography, the first ruler to start uniting East Slavic lands into what has become known as Kievan Rus' was Prince Oleg (882–912). He extended his control from Novgorod south along the Dnieper river valley to protect trade from Khazar incursions from the east, and he moved his capital to the more strategic Kiev. Sviatoslav I (died 972) achieved the first major expansion of Kievan Rus' territorial control, fighting a war of conquest against the Khazars. Vladimir the Great (980–1015) introduced Christianity with his own baptism and, by decree, extended it to all inhabitants of Kiev and beyond. Kievan Rus' reached its greatest extent under Yaroslav the Wise (1019–1054); his sons assembled and issued its first written legal code, the Rus' Justice, shortly after his death.The state declined beginning in the late 11th century and during the 12th century, disintegrating into various rival regional powers. It was further weakened by economic factors, such as the collapse of Rus' commercial ties to the Byzantine Empire due to the decline of Constantinople and the accompanying diminution of trade routes through its territory. The state finally fell to the Mongol invasion of the 1240s.

Review Novhorod-Siverskyi - Огляд Новгород-Сіверський
This video is a brief overview of - the city of #NovgorodSeversky, #Ukraine, fortress, monastery and museum, The Tale of Igor's Campaign.
#The #town was first chronicled in 1044. From 1098 it was the capital of the Siverian Principality, which served as a buffer zone against incursions of the Cumans (Polovtsy) and other steppe peoples. One of the numerous campaigns of local princes against the Cumans produced the great monument of early East Slavic literature, the #Tale of #Igor's #Campaign.
After the town's destruction by Mongols in 1239, it passed to the princes of Bryansk and then to the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. It was ruled by Dymitr Korybut (Kaributas), son of Algirdas. Muscovy obtained the area following the Battle of Vedrosha in 1503, but lost it to Poland after the Time of Troubles. The town finally passed to Russia as a result of the Russo-Polish War (1654-1667). During the Cossack epoch, the town received the status of sotenny (literally, 'relating to a hundred') and later polkovoi (regimental) town; these were military and administrative divisions in the Cossack army and country. Also Novhorod-Siverskyi became a cultural center of Left-Bank Ukraine. It was made the capital of a separate namestnichestvo in 1782–97. Thereafter its importance steadily declined.
During World War II, Novhorod-Siverskyi was occupied by the German Army from 26 August 1941 to 16 September 1943.
The Principality of Novgorod-Seversk was a medieval Rus' principality centered on the town now called Novhorod-Siverskyi. The principality was aligned to the Principality of Chernigov. It may have been created in 1139, the date of one modern authority.In 1185, a large Rus'ian campaign against the Polovtsy ended in defeat for Prince Igor, famously recorded in The Tale of Igor's Campaign. The principality was taken by the principality of Briansk after the Mongol invasions, and then by the Lithuanians when the power of the Golden Horde began to decline. In the fifteenth-century the principality was given to Prince Ivan of Mozhaisk when he fled from Grand Prince Vasily II.
Prince of Novgorod-Seversk was the kniaz, the ruler or sub-ruler, of the Principality of Novgorod-Seversk. It may have been created in 1139, the date of one modern authority, and is most famous for Igor Sviatoslavich, hero of the Old Russian Tale of Igor's Campaign.
The Tale of Igor's Campaign (Old East Slavic: Слово о плъкоу Игоревѣ, Slovo o plŭku Igorevě) is an anonymous epic poem written in the Old East Slavic language. The title is occasionally translated as The Song of Igor's Campaign, The Lay of Igor's Campaign, The Lay of the Host of Igor, and The Lay of the Warfare Waged by Igor.
The poem gives an account of a failed raid of Igor Svyatoslavich (d. 1202) against the Polovtsians of the Don River region. While some have disputed the authenticity of the poem, the current scholarly consensus is that the poem is authentic and dates to the medieval period (late 12th century).
The Tale of Igor's Campaign was adapted by Alexander Borodin as an opera and became one of the great classics of Russian theatre. Entitled Prince Igor, it was first performed in 1890.
According to the Primary Chronicle, before the 11th century the principality was ruled by local tribal elders and voivodes from Kiev who were appointed by the Grand Prince to collect tribute from the local population, manage judicial trials, and defend the land from external enemies. In the years 1024–1036 the principality of Chernigov was passed under the administration of son of the Vladimir the Great, Mstislav of Chernigov, who came there from Tmutorokan. Together with Yaroslav the Wise, Mstislav ruled the Kievan Rus' establishing Chernigov as one of the most important administration centers in Rus'. Upon the death of Mstislav, Chernigov was incorporated into the realm of Kiev.
After Yaroslav the Wise the principality of Chernigov was passed to one of his sons, Grand Prince Sviatoslav, who initiated the Chernigov branch of the Rurikids. During the civil war of the Yaroslavichi, Chernigov was contested between sons of Svyatoslav and Vsevolod. By the decision of the Liubech Congress in 1097, the sons of Sviatoslav, Oleg, Davyd, and their descendants, secured the principality. After that the principality obtained a certain degree of autonomy and was primarily secured after the Oleg's descendants.
The Principality was later split into three main apanage principalities: Chernigov, Novgorod-Seversk, and Murom-Ryazan, while Tmutarakan, due to its remoteness, often became contested and eventually was overtaken. Murom and later the Ryazan principality drifted away from the influence of Chernigov and after some time was contested by the Principality of Vladimir. Nonetheless the influence of Chernigov princes remained large and they retained the title of Kiev Grand Prince for some time. Chernigov was one of the largest economic and cultural centers of Kievan Rus.

1812. Napoleonic Wars in Russia. 3 Серия. StarMedia. Документальный Фильм. Babich-Design
Все серии:
26 августа 1812 года на 124-м километре к западу от Москвы в поле у деревни Бородино две огромные армии вели последние приготовления к одному из самых кровопролитных сражений эпохи. Четверть миллиона человек, более тысячи орудий. Здесь у Бородина решалась судьба всей военной кампании, судьба Москвы, судьба всей России.
Лишь только забрезжил рассвет, во французском и русском лагерях ударили барабаны и зазвучали трубы. Около половины шестого утра более 100 французских орудий начали артиллерийский обстрел позиций левого фланга русских, где находились флеши Багратиона. А первые отвлекающие атаки Наполеон провел на правом фланге.
The project is dedicated to one of the most remarkable and dramatic periods in history -- the Napoleonic Wars from 1803 to 1815. They were a continuation of the wars originally sparked off by the French Revolution of 1789 and threw Europe's armies into mobilization on an unprecedented scale. The Coup d'Etat on 9 November 1799 put France into the hands of a man endowed with a natural genius as a commander and almost unlimited ambition. The 'old order' of Europe was, at the time, in chaos and disunity, with governments operating independently of others, each engaged in the short-term pursuit of private gain and nationalist policies. These factors, together with the powerful army created by Napoleon, combined to make him lord of the European continent, part of his dream of creating a 'global monarchy', with France at its supreme head.

Крым на машине. За 3 недели объехали весь полуостров #VANLIFE
Объехали весь Крым на машине дикарями с маленьким ребёнком. Во время путешествия мы вели влог, а сейчас попытались создать обобщенный фильм и объединить в нем максимальное количество на наш взгляд полезной информации.
За 3 недели нам в неспешном режиме удалось посетить: Ай-Петри рядом с Ялтой, мыс Фиолент, розовое озеро Чокрак и Генеральские пляжи, мы доехали до самой западной точки Крыма - мыса Тарханкут, погуляли по пещерным городам Мангуп-Кале и Чуфут-Кале рядом с Бахчисараем, посетили древний город Херсонес Таврический в Севастополе и скалу Ак-Кая рядом с Белогорском.
В своем видео мы расскажем не только про достопримечательности Крыма, но и про наш маршрут и то, во сколько нам обошлось это автопутешествие.
Крым - это уникальное место, где на небольшой территории располагается огромное количество исторически значимых и природных достопримечательностей. Дикие пляжи с неповторимым голубым морем, дворцы, крымское вино и винзаводы с дегустацией, средневековые крепости и сооружения, возведенные до нашей эры, горы, каньоны, водопады.
Надеемся, что нам удастся в своем фильме передать атмосферу путешествия по
Крымскому полуострову
