The statue of Lenin - From Moscow to Murmansk
St. Petersburg is the city where the Russian Revolution broke out in 1917. Lenin arrived from Switzerland to give his famous speech that brought the revolution. Jelle finds Lenin's statue back in an industrial area just outside St. Petersburg, ready to be restored.
In the first series: From Moscow to Magadan, Jelle Brandt Corstius traveled from West to East, focusing on the endless Russian countryside and the villages. In this second series: From Moscow to Murmansk, he travels from North to South along the largest river of Russia: the Volga River. A trip along the relatively unknown cities like Murmansk, Volgograd, Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, but also to Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Through topics like women in Russia, new censorship, the environmental problem from Russian perspective and the ideological vacuum, a relatively unknown side of Russia is once again exposed.
Presented by: Jelle Brandt Corstius
Final editor: Gert-Jan Hox

Journalists are not normally allowed to witness the graduation ceremonies, which are usually open only to a closed group of family, dignitaries and ex-servicemen. An indication of how challenging the time for the youngsters can be came when the announcer singled out a teenager with a microphone for failing an initial exercise.Army chiefs also ordered a youth to be helped from the line up when he felt faint in the heat during the parade at Zhukov Square. , who rose to become Chief of General Staff. His statue adorns the square.The youths would normally get a simple ticking off from most parents for ‘crimes’ such as being smokers, internet junkies, TV-addicts or being too attached to their mobile phones.But .The teenagers were told they had attended ‘a school of courage which taught you boys to become men.’They lived as adults, isolated from any technology, ate plain meals such as soup and bread where the main focus was on ‘fresh air and togetherness as men.’Living under the close gaze of officers and sleeping in dormitories, unarmed combat, handling automatic weapons and gruelling exercises in the searing heat were among the daily routines, with each youth ordered to ’slop out’.Parents were unable to check on how their sons were doing and will only know their children have made it through when they arrived in Zhukov Square in two coaches with the World Cup trophy emblazoned on them.Mikhail Chatilov, chief of the Pryoksky district where the event was held, said: ‘We do this event on Zhukov Square because this is a very important place for the city as it named after one of the greatest commanders in Russian history.‘We have to remember the past and that’s why we do this.’ Share this article Share But he added: ‘’Teenagers are put in severe conditions, just like in the army.

Road safety campaign sees topless women carrying speed limit signs at accident hotspots in Russia
A road safety campaign in Russia has come up with an inventive way to force drivers to slow down - by using topless women to carry speed limit signs.
The scheme involves near naked women parading along the side of the road at accident blackspots.
A trial showed that the idea significantly slowed traffic near a pedestrian crossing in Severny village, in the central Nizhny Novgorod region.

SUMMARY
=======
Russia (Russian: Росси́я, tr. Rossiya, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijə]), officially the Russian Federation (Russian: Росси́йская Федера́ция, tr. Rossiyskaya Federatsiya, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijskəjə fʲɪdʲɪˈratsɨjə]), is a transcontinental country in Eastern Europe and North Asia. At 17,125,200 square kilometres (6,612,100 sq mi), Russia is by a considerable margin the largest country in the world by area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area, and the ninth most populous, with about 146.77 million people as of 2019, including Crimea. About 77% of the population live in the western, European part of the country. Russia's capital, Moscow, is one of the largest cities in the world and the second largest city in Europe; other major cities include Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Nizhny Novgorod. Extending across the entirety of Northern Asia and much of Eastern Europe, Russia spans eleven time zones and incorporates a wide range of environments and landforms. From northwest to southeast, Russia shares land borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (both with Kaliningrad Oblast), Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and North Korea. It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait. However, Russia recognises two more countries that border it, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, both of which are internationally recognized as parts of Georgia.
The East Slavs emerged as a recognizable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. Founded and ruled by a Varangian warrior elite and their descendants, the medieval state of Rus arose in the 9th century. In 988 it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire, beginning the synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the next millennium. Rus ultimately disintegrated into a number of smaller states; most of the Rus' lands were overrun by the Mongol invasion and became tributaries of the nomadic Golden Horde in the 13th century. The Grand Duchy of Moscow gradually reunified the surrounding Russian principalities and achieved independence from the Golden Horde. By the 18th century, the nation had greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the Russian Empire, wh ...
