Veliky Novgorod Russia's origins HD
Almost half a way on the road from modern Russian capital (Moscow) to former one (St. Petersburg) there is the ancient city of Novgorod Velikiy (the Great). By now it is a conglomerate of historical, cultural and spiritual monuments worth seeing.
Velikiy Novgorod - one of the most ancient cities of Russia located in its North-West, near the site where the Volkhov river takes its waters from Lake Ilmen, emerged as a political center of Slavic and Fino-Ugric tribes in the mid-9th century, while as a town it was formed in the middle of the 10th century.
The history of Novgorod is closely linked with all major stages in the life of the Russian state. In those times, when the statehood of Rus was just in the making, the Novgorodians invited Scandinavian prince Rurik to keep law and order, thus giving birth to the prince Rurik dynasty that ruled over all Russian lands throughout more than 750 years

Russian Art - 1 Architecture: Kievan Rus' Period
First video about the Russian Art serie. Any doubt? Send me a message.
Historia del Arte:
Land of the Art:
Russian culture is an hybrid generated from habits of many civilizations that shaped this great multicultural state, and it is the result of its development for several centuries, being deeply rooted in the culture of the first eastern slavs.
The Kievan Rus' is the ancient state formed by the slav tribes of the actuals Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. This artistic period is between 988-1230. The great churches were built after the adoption of christianism. The style is similar to the byzantine. These orthodox churches were built mainly of wood.
Saint Sophia of Novgorod: already mentioned in byzantine art. It has five stone domes. It was built by Vladimir of Novgorod in honor to his father, Yaroslav I the Wise, as a sign of gratitude of the people of Novgorod for his help in the conflict of Yaroslav in the Kievan Rus'.
Yuriev Monastery: also called St. George Cathedral, was built by prince Vsevolod Mstislavovich. It has narrow windows and frescoes in the interior depicting the prince. It is one of the biggest buildings of Novgorod.
Golden Gate of Vladimir: this is the only thing that survived after the siege of the mongols. It is said that in XVIII century, Catherine II the Great was scared to go through it fearing that it could fall. The vaults and the barbican were destroyed and were built two circled towers.
Church of the Intercession on River Nerl: built with white stone, it has a dome with four columns in the interior. Elongated proportions with dark interior. Built by Andréi Bogoliubski to commemorate his son, who was murdered. In spring it is flooded and it seems it is floating.
Dormition Cathedral of Vladimir: also called of the Intercession, was commissioned by Andrei Bogoliubski for Virgin Mary, saint patron of Vladimir.
Kiev Pechersk Lavra: I added this complex too, also called Kiev Monastery of the Caves. The beginning is in 1051 in the reign of Yaroslavl I. The princes of Kiev supported the construction. It has many buildings, among them, I also added the Dormition cathedral. Soon it will be the most important building of Kievan Rus'.

10 Best Places to Visit in Russia.
Russia, once the largest and most powerful member of the former USSR, nonetheless remains a fascinating country to visit. It is a country of contrasts, from great subtropical beaches to bitterly cold winter regions in the north. The east may have fewer people, but its lovely cities are among the most popular places to visit in Russia and can hold their own against the west. Russia is steeped in history everywhere a traveler goes, from vicious battles to great classical music and literature. And almost everywhere visitors can see examples of magnificent art, not only in museums but also in its churches.

Vologda Region
The Vologda Region, in the north-west of Russia, is a land of forests and lakes. Since the old days it's been one of Russia's hidden places. The Moscow Tsar used to keep the treasury of the Russian state here. Monks and icon painters used to go to Lake Beloye to keep faith with their traditions. Pilgrims from all over the world come to Vologda and Goritsy, to honour Cyril and Therapont, to experience peace of mind and to seek truth and wisdom.
The people of Vologda maintain the customs and traditions of the Russian north. Every summer different generations gather here to preserve these time-honoured rites.
However, in the north winters are long and occupied with lengthy hunting trips and adventures.
Father Frost, the Russian Santa Claus, welcomes children and adults alike to his Vologda mansion.
Kem City Most Viral,
Kem City Most Viral,
The small town of Kem lost in the Karelian forests. Once the land was very important for the Russian state.
In the fifteenth century, it was a possession of Martha Boretskaya, popularly nicknamed Martha Governor's Wife. Martha Boretsky has never been and could not be formally Governor's Wife. This nickname was
simply an evil mockery of Muscovites over the original state system of the republic - Veliky Novgorod. As the widow of a wealthy landowner, and she owned the vast lands on the banks of the Dvina and the Frozen Sea, she advocated Novgorod out of the dependence on Moscow.
After the abolition of the Novgorod veche Martha land were confiscated, and she was sent to a monastery. Since 1450 Kemskie lands belong to the Solovetsky monastery, built here in 1429. Then Kem becomes the main traffic artery, which connects the mainland with the Solovetsky monastery, which attracts to this region a lot of new people and translates Kem from the settlement of the status of a small town. Kem became the administrative center.
On the land is constantly committed devastating raids by neighbors Swedish and Finnish Germans. Because the land is rich in forest, fur, fish, which is very appreciated in ancient times. In 1571, the Swedes had planned to seize the town with the help of an armed squadron, but the attack was repulsed. Then in Kemi was erected a wooden fort on Lepostrove, which further strengthened by strong walls and cannons. For many years Kemskaya fortress became impregnable fort for the Swedish Vikings, despite their more than modest size.
Today, this region is widely known, tourists, artists and all those who are interested in unusual tourism. Most of them keep their way to the Solovetsky monastery. In the twenties of the last century, Kem area was a transit point on the way repressed in Solovki prison camp (ELEPHANT).
Ukraine: from Trypillia to Kyiv Rus
In 2010-2012, Ukraine for the first time presents a large-scale historical and cultural heritage project in the United States. Particularly, a number of exhibits in various U.S. museums. According to Ukrinform, this was announced today at the press-conference in Kyiv by the officials who represent the organizers of the project: Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Ukraine, the Platar National Heritage Museum and the US Foundation for International Arts and Education.
According to FIAE President Gregory Guroff, the exhibition of Ukrainian heritage: Ukraine: from Trypillia to Kyiv Rus will consist mainly of rare artifacts from private collections, notably, the Platar National Heritage Museum (founded by Serhij Taruta and Mykola Platonov) and the Prehistoric Aratta-Ukraine Museum in the village of Trypillia, Kyiv oblast (founder and director Oleksandr Polishchuk); as well as the exhibition of icons and sacred items from the 9th-19th centuries which will be presented by the National Kyiv Pechersk Historical and Cultural Preserve.
Our goal is to get American people acquanted with the Ukrainian culture. And we are really proud of the fact that we can do this, Gregory Guroff stressed. He also expressed confidence that the exhibits will attract more attention in the United States than in Ukraine.
James Pettit, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine Deputy Chief expressed his confidence that millions of Americans will visit these exhibitions. As the majority of U.S. citizens are not well acquainted with Ukraine, they will have a chance to learn more about it thanks to the exhibits, he noted.
Vasyl Vovkun, Minister for Culture and Tourism of Ukraine told that the recent exhibit of the Trypillian culture in the Vatican was a big surprise, it made possible for Europeans to realize that the roots of their civilization go not to Mesopotamia but to the heart of Europe in the Middle Dnieper region.
Meanwhile, New Yorks Museum of Biblical Art Executive director Ena Heller noted that the exhibit representing variety of Ukrainian icons which is little known in America will also be of great interest.
As informed during the press-conference, the number of items to be on show in the U.S. reaches 50 icons and between 200 and 250 other artifacts. To select the exhibition items, representatives of the following museums have come to Ukraine: Museum of Biblical Art, New York, Museum of Russian Icons, Clinton, Mass., Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska, and Houston Museum of Natural Science.
This project between two countries is supported by the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine and the Ukraine Embassy in the USA, as well as by the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council, USUBC. Financial support is given by the Industrial Union of Donbas Corporation and the Foundation of International Arts and Education, USA.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Peter the Great (Russian: Пётр Вели́кий, tr. Pyotr Velikiy, IPA: [ˈpʲɵtr vʲɪˈlʲikʲɪj]), Peter I (Russian: Пётр I, tr. Pyotr I, IPA: [ˈpʲɵtr ˈpʲɛrvɨj]) or Peter Alexeyevich (Russian: Пётр Алексе́евич, IPA: [ˈpʲɵtr ɐlʲɪˈksʲejɪvʲɪtɕ]; 9 June [O.S. 30 May] 1672 – 8 February [O.S. 28 January] 1725) ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire from 7 May [O.S. 27 April] 1682 until his death in 1725, jointly ruling before 1696 with his elder half-brother, Ivan V. Through a number of successful wars, he expanded the Tsardom into a much larger empire that became a major European power and also laid the groundwork for the Russian navy after capturing ports at Azov and the Baltic Sea. He led a cultural revolution that replaced some of the traditionalist and medieval social and political systems with ones that were modern, scientific, Westernised and based on the Enlightenment. Peter's reforms made a lasting impact on Russia, and many institutions of Russian government trace their origins to his reign. He is also known for founding and developing the city of Saint Petersburg, which remained the capital of Russia until 1917.
