A note on 'Ivan the Terrible' - in Russia, Ivan IV has the epithet 'Гро́зный' meaning 'Great' or 'Formidable'. So why is he known as Ivan 'the Terrible' in English? Because he was evil or useless or because of anti-Russian bias? No, because 'Terrible' in English also means awesome or formidable - this was well understood when 'Гро́зный' was first translated into English centuries ago, but now fewer people understand this. (see definitions 3 & 4 here: The name stuck, and Ivan IV has been known as Ivan the Terrible ever since.

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?

День 7. Прекрасная Елабуга. Побег из города. Маршрут выходного дня
Читать о путешествии:
Видеопроект:
Съемочная группа «Реального времени во главе с ведущими Оксаной Мамонтовой (блогером из Уфы)
и Айратом Багаутдиновым (исследователем, экскурсоводом и автором проекта «Москва глазами инженера»)
отправилась в автомобильное путешествие по Татарстану в поисках достопримечательностей, вкусной еды и вдохновляющего общения.
Результат поездки – 1600 км за спиной, 133 потраченных литра бензина и тонны впечатлений,
которые нашли отражение в фильме.
Герои проехали 18 населенных пунктов, потратили немногим более 22 тысяч рублей на ночевку и около 4,5 тысячи рублей на бензин.
Они находили малоизвестных подвижников в провинции, которые болеют своим делом
и горят желанием рассказать о том, как живут в своих городах и селах.
Так, герои разузнали, кто автор туристического чуда в Тетюшах, каким образом из «полутора музеев» в Елабуге появилось 15 экспозиций,
как простые ребята в Альметьевске создают неформальную культуру,
каким образом Кукморский валяльный комбинат сохраняет уникальную Шуховскую башню и многое другое.
Герои жили в обычных отелях и на базах отдыха, как если бы они были обычными путешественниками
и бронировали вслепую отели на booking.com.
И ели в обычных кафе, которые встречались им по дороге. Результат – их честная отповедь инфраструктуре и сервису.
Оксана давала оценку эмоциональной насыщенности путешествия,
Айрат – историко-культурной.
Герои посетили Раифу, Иннополис, Свияжск, Печищи, Верхний Услон, Теньки, Камское Устье,
Долгую Поляну, Тетюши, Болгар, Чистополь, Альметьевск, Карабаш, Бугульму, Сарманово, Елабугу, Мамадыш и Кукмор.
Еженедельно на сайте Реальноевремя.рф будет выходить серия, посвященная одному из 8 дней экспедиции,
путевые заметки с более детальным описанием путешествия, секретами видеосъемки и бэкстейджем.

Tyumen
Tyumen is the largest city and the administrative center of Tyumen Oblast, Russia, located on the Tura River 2,500 kilometers east of Moscow.
Tyumen was the first Russian settlement in Siberia. Founded in 1586 to support Russia's eastward expansion, the city has remained one of the most important industrial and economic centers east of the Ural Mountains. Located at the junction of several important trade routes and with easy access to navigable waterways, Tyumen rapidly developed from a small military settlement to a large commercial and industrial city. The central part of Old Tyumen retains many historic buildings from throughout the city's history.

SUMMARY
=======
The history of slavery spans many cultures, nationalities, and religions from ancient times to the present day. However the social, economic, and legal positions of slaves were vastly different in different systems of slavery in different times and places.Slavery appears in the Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi (c. 1860 BC), which refers to it as an established institution.Slavery is rare among hunter-gatherer populations, because it is developed as a system of social stratification. Slavery was known in the very first civilizations such as Sumer in Mesopotamia which dates back as far as 3500 BC. The Byzantine–Ottoman wars and the Ottoman wars in Europe resulted in the taking of large numbers of Christian slaves. Slavery became common within much of Europe during the Dark Ages and it continued into the Middle Ages. The Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, British, Arabs and a number of West African kingdoms played a prominent role in the Atlantic slave trade, especially after 1600. David P. Forsythe wrote: The fact remained that at the beginning of the nineteenth century an estimated three-quarters of all people alive were trapped in bondage against their will either in some form of slavery or serfdom. The Republic of Dubrovnik was the first European country to ban the slave trade in 1416, and in modern times Denmark-Norway in 1802.
Although slavery is no longer legal anywhere in the world (with the exception of penal labour), human trafficking remains an international problem and an estimated 25-40 million people are enslaved today, the majority in Asia. During the 1983–2005 Second Sudanese Civil War people were taken into slavery. Evidence emerged in the late 1990s of systematic child slavery and trafficking on cacao plantations in West Africa; see the chocolate and slavery article. Slavery continues into the 21st-century. Although slavery in Mauritania was criminalized in August 2007, in Mauritania it is estimated that up to 600,000 men, women and children, or 20% of the population, are currently enslaved, many of them used as bonded labor. Slavery in 21st-century Islamism continues, and women and children have been abducted and enslaved (often as sex slaves) by Islamist quasi-states such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and Boko Haram.

SUMMARY
=======
Moscow (; Russian: Москва́, tr. Moskvá, IPA: [mɐˈskva] (listen)) is the capital and most populous city of Russia, with 13.2 million residents within the city limits and 17 million within the urban area. Moscow is one of Russia's federal cities.
Moscow is a major political, economic, cultural, and scientific centre of Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as the largest city (both by population and by area) entirely on the European continent. By broader definitions Moscow is among the world's largest cities, being the 14th largest metro area, the 18th largest agglomeration, the 14th largest urban area, and the 11th largest by population within city limits worldwide. According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has been ranked as the ninth most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the world's largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is also one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world according to the MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index.
Moscow is the northernmost and coldest megacity and metropolis on Earth. It is home to the Ostankino Tower, the tallest free standing structure in Europe; the Federation Tower, the second-tallest skyscraper in Europe; and the Moscow International Business Center. By its territorial expansion on July 1 2012 southwest into the Moscow Oblast, the area of the capital more than doubled, going from 1,091 to 2,511 square kilometers (421 to 970 sq mi), resulting in Moscow becoming the largest city on the European continent by area; it also gained an additional population of 233,000 people.Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, making it Europe's most populated inland city. The city is well known for its architecture, particularly its historic buildings such as Saint Basil's Cathedral with its colourful architectural style. With over 40 percent of its territory covered by greenery, it is one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world, having the largest forest in an urban area within its borders—more than any other major city—even before its expansion in 2012.
The city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and the subsequent Tsardom of Russia to the Russian Empire to the Soviet Union and the contemporary Russian Federation.
Moscow is the seat of power of the Government of Russia, being the site of the Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is today the residence for work of the President of Russia. The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament (the State Duma and the Federation Council) also sit in the city. Moscow is considered the centre of Russian culture, having served as the home of Russian artists, scientists and sports figures and because of the presence of museums, academic and political institutions and theatres.
The city is served by a transit network, which includes four international airports, nine railway terminals, numerous trams, a monorail system and one of the deepest underground rapid transit systems in the world, the Moscow Metro, the fourth-largest in the world and largest outside Asia in terms of passenger numbers, and the busiest in Europe. It is recognised as one of the city's landmarks due to the rich architecture of its 200 stations.Moscow has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The Third Rome (Третий Рим), the Whitestone One (Белокаменная), the First Throne (Первопрестольная), the Forty Soroks (Сорок Сороков) (sorok meaning both forty, a great many and a district or parish in Old Russian).
Moscow is also one of the twelve Hero Cities. The demonym for a Moscow res ...
