Short film re: centenary of the October Revolution of 1917.
The Bolshevik coup and its aftermath remain a source of romance, naive idealism, and oversimplification for many who continue to whitewash, ignore, or downplay the awesome crimes which its architects inflicted on tens of millions in Russia and throughout the world. Those crimes began almost immediately after the events of October and continued in various forms until the Soviet regime's collapse in 1991. Millions of people from all walks of life were tortured, shot, gassed, worked to death in concentration camps (so named by senior Bolshevik leaders themselves), forced into exile, or reduced to nothingness. They may no longer be with us, but we can work to keep the memory of what they went through alive and warn the world against repeating the mistakes of the past.
Thanks for watching.

The first residential building in St. Petersburg: Cabin of Peter the Great
The cabin of Peter the Great (is a small wooden house which was the first St Petersburg palace of Tsar Peter I.
The log cabin was constructed in three days in May 1703, by soldiers of the Semyonovskiy Regiment. At that time, the new St Petersburg was described as a heap of villages linked together, like some plantation in the West Indies. The date of its construction is now considered to mark the foundation of the city.
The design is a combination of an izba, a traditional Russian countryside house typical of the 17th century, and the Tsar's beloved Dutch Baroque, later to evolve into the Petrine Baroque. Peter built similar domiki elsewhere in Russia - for example, in Voronezh, and Vologda. The wooden cabin in St Petersburg covers only 60 square meters (650 sq ft) and contains three rooms - living room, bedroom, and study. It has large ornate windows and a high hipped roof of wooden tiles. Inside, the wooden walls were painted with red oil to resemble brick, and the rooms came to be known as the red chambers. There are no fires or chimneys, as it was intended to be used only in the warmer summer months. It was occupied by the Tsar between 1703 and 1708, while Peter supervised the construction of the new imperial city and the Peter and Paul Fortress.
The cabin was moved to its present location, 6 Petrovskaia Naberezhnaia, in 1711 from its original site on the north bank of the River Neva close to the present Winter Palace. Peter had it encased for its protection within a red brick pavilion in 1723 and ordered that it be preserved for posterity as a memorial to his modesty, and the creation of St Petersburg ex nihilo. Catherine the Great ordered the shelter for the cabin to be renovated in 1784, and the protective brick pavilion was reconstructed by Nicholas I in the 1840s. Nicholas I also had the bedroom converted into a chapel dedicated to Christ the Redeemer, and iron railings were added in 1874.
Peter's domiki were used to mark significant dates, such as the bicentenary of Peter's birth in 1672. They became a center of devotion to the tsar, the Russian Orthodox Church, and the Russian motherland. An image of the log cabin was included on the Peter the Great Fabergé egg, created in 1903 to celebrate the bicentenary of the founding of St Petersburg. After the Russian Revolution, they became symbols of Russian heroic labor.
A prized national monument, the contents were removed, and the Cabin was boarded up and camouflaged during the Second World War. It was the first St Petersburg museum to reopen in September 1944, after the end of the Siege of Leningrad. Personal and domestic objects owned and used by Peter are still displayed within, and a bust of Peter by Parmen Zabello stands outside. The cabin is open to the public as a branch of the Russian Museum.

Time of Troubles
The Time of Troubles was a period of Russian history comprising the years of interregnum between the death of the last Russian Tsar of the Rurik Dynasty, Feodor Ivanovich, in 1598, and the establishment of the Romanov Dynasty in 1613. In 1601–03, Russia suffered a famine that killed one-third of the population, about two million. At the time, Russia was occupied by the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Dimitriads, and suffered from civil uprisings, usurpers and impostors.

Red Army is The Strongest
The immediate context of the song is the final Crimean offensive in the Russian Civil War by Pyotr Wrangel's troops in July 1920. The second verse refers to the call to a final effort in the Crimea published by the Revolutionary Military Council in Pravda on 10 July. While the song has a separate refrain, the verses repeat the claim that The Red Army is stronger than all, which came to be the song's conventional title.[citation needed] The first verse of the song reads as follows:
Белая армия, чёрный барон
Снова готовят нам царский трон,
Но от тайги до британских морей
Красная Армия всех сильней.
The White Army and the Black Baron
Are preparing to restore to us the Imperial throne,
But from the taiga to the British seas
The Red Army is the strongest of all!
Black Baron was a nickname of Wrangel's, from the alleged penchant of his for wearing (and dressing some of his elite units in) black uniforms. Wrangel's offensive was indeed halted by the Red Army, and Wrangel and his troops were forced to retreat to Crimea in November 1920, pursued by both Red and Black cavalry and infantry. Wrangel and the remains of his army were evacuated from Crimea to Constantinople on 14 November 1920.
The song became popular in the early Soviet Union. It was sung in 1923 at the rally in Leningrad against the Curzon Line, the British seas acquiring new significance in view of Lord Curzon's ultimatum. In a letter to a school for blind students in the Vologda region, Nadezhda Krupskaya named it as her favourite songs alongside The Internationale. The phrase from the taiga to the British Seas became something of an idiomatic expression used by other authors, e.g. by V. A. Lugovsky in his poem Песни о ветре (Song of the Wind, 1926).
In its early oral transmission during 1920–1925, the song underwent some variation. Gorinshtejn later recalled that his original lyrics had four or five verses, and that his original refrain was slightly different from the received version (reading Пусть воин красный / Сжимает властно /Свой штык упорною рукой. / Ведь все должны мы / Неудержимо /Идти в последний, смертный бой).
The song was first printed in 1925, and subsequently published under the titles of От тайги до британских морей (From the Taiga to the British Seas), Красная Армия (Red Army) and Красноармейская ([Song] of the Red Army). It was not until 1937 that the conventional title had settled on Красная Армия всех сильней (The Red Army is the Strongest).[citation needed] During the 1920s to 1940s, the song was reproduced without indication of its authors. It was only in the 1950s that musicologist A. Shilov established the authorship of Gorinshtejn and Pokrass.
The Russian song was adopted by the Chapaev Battalion of the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War, and it was allegedly sung in a Nazi torture chamber by Czech communist Julius Fučík. Alternative Russian lyrics were set to the tune during World War II, e.g. Всем нам свобода и честь дорога (Pyotr Belyi 1941 [1]). Even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the tune is still played as a march during the military parades on Red Square.

Лучшие и худшие города России
Мой личный рейтинг российских городов, которые удалось изучить за последние несколько лет.
Рейтинг очень субъективный и составлен на моих внутренних ощущениях. Фактически я задавал себе вопрос: а хотел бы я жить в этом городе? В Севастополе, Пскове, Геленджике или Калининграде хотел бы, а вот в Махачкале или Омске — нет. Я учитывал состояние общественного транспорта, отношение жителей к своему городу, чистоту, архитектуру и многое другое.
Топ-4 города из рейтинга:
Как изменился Екатеринбург к Чемпионату мира
Казань: лучшее благоустройство России
Севастополь: курорт, разрушенный варварами
Воронеж: хотели бы здесь жить?

Anton Andreevich Akimov a mercahnt was born in the peasant family of Anisya Karpovna and Andrei Yekimovich Akimov in the village of Ivankovo In addition to Anton, the Akimov family had four more children: Akulina, Perpetua (the name was given during baptism by the godmother, mistress Valutskaya Perpetuya Stepanovna), Ivan and Ustinya. Anisya Karpovna was a serf to her mistress Valutskaya in the fields of the village of Starodvorskoye.
Anton Andreevich in his youth was a shepherd, before joining a shop of a merchant in St. Petersburg. He wasa quick learner, and a diligent worker. He worked as a clerk, saved up money and opened a shop trading in Vologda butter and eggs in St. Petersburg and Danilov. Anton Andreevich married Alexander Vasilyevna from the village of Churilovo. They produced two daughters: the eldest Elizabeth (in the family her name was Lilia) and the younger Anna (Anyuta).

In the first years of Soviet power, Anton A. Akimov was arrested and sent to the gulag on Solovki, the former monastery. The property, including the house and shop in Danilov, was nationalized. Alexandra Vasilievna with her daughters lived in Leningrad, on Sennaya Square in the house No.13. and died in the blockade.
Нотр-Дам де Пари глазами российских реставраторов
Немного пофантазируем о том, кого бы мы могли отправить во Францию восстанавливать Нотр-Дама де Пари. Ведь Путин предложил отправить в Париж лучших российских реставраторов!
Может, «Сбербанк» отправит своих лучших людей в Париж? Или специалисты из РЖД? Будет всё по бренд-буку! Ладно, у нас есть ещё РПЦ вместе с синим профлистом, а ещё застройщики многоэтажек. Также есть вариант отправить мэра любого города — будет торговый центр с парковкой!
Как выглядит Париж без российский реставраторов:
Париж – не только Эйфелева башня
Париж: искусство создавать архитектуру
Реновация в Париже: хотели бы вы так жить?
Париж: новые районы и самый красивый в мире суд

SUMMARY
=======
Joseph Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili; 18 December 1878 – 5 March 1953) was a Soviet revolutionary and politician of Georgian ethnicity. He ruled the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953, holding the titles of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1952 and the nation's Premier from 1941 to 1953. Initially presiding over an oligarchic one-party system that governed by plurality, he became the de facto dictator of the Soviet Union by the 1930s. Ideologically committed to the Leninist interpretation of Marxism, Stalin helped to formalise these ideas as Marxism–Leninism, while his own policies became known as Stalinism.
Born to a poor family in Gori, Russian Empire (now Georgia), Stalin began his revolutionary career by joining the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party as a youth. He edited the party's newspaper, Pravda, and raised funds for Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik faction via robberies, kidnappings, and protection rackets. Repeatedly arrested, he underwent several internal exiles. After the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia during the 1917 October Revolution, Stalin joined the party's governing Politburo, where he was instrumental in overseeing the Soviet Union's establishment in 1922. As Lenin fell ill and then died in 1924, Stalin assumed leadership over the country. During Stalin's rule, Socialism in One Country became a central tenet of the party's dogma, and Lenin's New Economic Policy was replaced with a centralized command economy. Under the Five-Year Plan system, the country underwent collectivisation and rapid industrialization but experienced significant disruptions in food production that contributed to the famine of 1932–33. To eradicate those regarded as enemies of the working class, Stalin instituted the Great Purge, in which over a million were imprisoned and at least 700,000 executed between 1934 and 1939.
Stalin's government promoted Marxism–Leninism abroad through the Communist International and supported anti-fascist movements throughout Europe during the 1930s, particularly in the Spanish Civil War. In 1939, it signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany, resulting in their joint invasion of Poland. Germany ended the pact by invading the Soviet Union in 1941. Despite initial setbacks, the Soviet Red Army repelled the German incursion and captured Berlin in 1945, ending World War II in Europe. The Soviets annexed the Baltic states and helped establish Soviet-aligned governments throughout Central and Eastern Europe, China and North Korea. The Soviet Union and the United States emerged from the war as the two world superpowers. Tensions arose between the Soviet-backed Eastern Bloc and U.S.-backed Western Bloc which became known as the Cold War. Stalin led his country through its post-war reconstruction, during which it developed a nuclear weapon in 1949. In these years, the country experienced another major famine and an anti-semitic campaign peaking in the Doctors' plot. Stalin died in 1953 and was eventually succeeded by Nikita Khrushchev, who denounced his predecessor and initiated a de-Stalinisation process throughout Soviet society.
Widely considered one of the 20th century's most significant figures, Stalin was the subject of a pervasive personality cult within the international Marxist–Leninist movement, for whom Stalin was a champion of socialism and the working class. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Stalin has retained popularity in Russia and Georgia as a victorious wartime leader who established the Soviet Union as a major world power. Conversely, his totalitarian government has been widely condemned for overseeing mass repressions, ethnic cleansing, hundreds of thousands of executions, and famines which caused the deaths of millions.
