These photographs are part of a collection from the family archive of prominent geologist Mikhail Alekseevich Pavlov (1884–1938). Pavlov was born near Ekaterinburg and completed his schooling at the Nikolai Gymnasium in Tsarskoe Selo (present-day Pushkin) in 1905. He went on to study geology at Saint Petersburg University and participated in many field expeditions. While still a student, Pavlov took part in the attempted expedition to the North Pole in 1912‒14, which was led by the Arctic explorer Georgii Iakovlevich Sedov (1877–1914). Along with his school and university friend Vladimir Iul’evich Vize (1886–1954), who served as the expedition’s geographer, Pavlov collected a large body of scientific data on the northern archipelago of Novaya Zemlya. After finishing his education, Pavlov worked as a geologist and teacher of geology. He devoted most of his career to the geology of the Far East, working as an employee of the Far East Geological Committee (Dal’geolkom) in 1919–31. Pavlov was arrested in 1931 and in 1938 was executed after exhaustion prevented him from reporting for work in the labor camp where he was a prisoner. Such a fate was typical for representatives of the Russian intelligentsia in Stalinist Russia. Many photographs in this collection were taken by Pavlov himself, while others are unattributed. The photographs date from approximately 1875–1929. They depict Pavlov’s geological expeditions in Siberia and the Far East, expedition participants, views of nature, Pavlov during his school and university years, and his family members in various years. The collection is preserved in the V.K. Arseniev Primorsky State Associated Museum in Vladivostok, Russia

Peek inside the meteorite vault at Arizona State University where billion-year-old rocks from space give researchers clues about the formation of our solar system. The meteorites survived their journeys through space and the Earth’s atmosphere and were collected around the world to be preserved inside the vault. Dr. Laurence Garvie, curator of the Center for Meteorite Studies at Arizona State University, studies, shows and smells, these metallic messengers from the universe to “unravel their stories”.

At the borders of Europe: 7 Facts about Perm

------------------------------------------------
More information about the video content bellow:
1.Perm is a federal subject of Russia (a krai) that came into existence on December 1, 2005 as a result of the 2004 referendum on the merger of Perm Oblast and Komi-Permyak Autonomous Okrug. The population of the krai was 2,635,276 according to the (2010 Census).
2. Residents of Perm used to be called “Permyak – salty ears”. The name Permyaks firstly appeared in the 10th century in Russian sources and came from the ancient name of the land between the Mezen River and Pechora River – Perm. Several origins of the name have been proposed but the most accepted is from Veps Peräma back, outer or far-away land from Veps perä back, extreme and ma land. Since the 20th century the name has been applied only to the southern Komi (Komi-Permyaks) in Perm Krai.
3. The conventional border between Europe and Asia runs along the Ural mountains. Perm is the very last major city on the European side of the mountains. Yekaterinburg is its equivalent on the Asian side. The border between Europe and Asia is marked by a small monument that can be accessed from the road between Perm and Yekaterinburg.
4. The Permian geological period, the last period of the Palaeozoic era, was named after Perm. In 1841, a British scientist, Sir Roderick Murchison, identified strata typical for the Permian period in his extensive exploration of what is now Perm region. He then postulated the existence of the Permian period and named it after the city of Perm. This period ended with massive extinction of Permian types, when from 70% to 96% of animal species, including insects, have died – the only known such case.
5. Perm-36, a forced labour camp located 100km north-east from Perm, was particularly infamous for its history of housing political prisoners. Perm-36 operated up until the 1980s, before, in 1996 it was turned into a museum. Despite being a highly politically controversial institution, the museum can still be visited.
6. During the Second World War, as the front was approaching Moscow, many military equipment plants (and other enterprises of state importance) were moved to the east, many of them to Perm. Because of this high concentration of state secrets, Perm unofficially became a closed city: foreigners were not allowed to come here and rumour has it that the city didn’t appear on many Soviet maps. Foreign visitors were only allowed to visit in the 1990s.
7. “The Great Tea Road” – this was the name of the route used to transport tea in caravans from China to the European part of Russia. The greatest development of the Great Tea Road took place in 17th-19th centuries. It went across the territory of three current countries: Russia, Mongolia and China.

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.

“Two Weeks in Russia”
Presented by:
Dr. Steven Oluic, PhD, U.S. Army (ret.)
Dean, Arts & Sciences Division at Lakeland Community College
Earlier this year, Dr. Oluic spent two weeks in Russia as part of a Fulbright grant and toured several educational institutions. Join us and learn about his experience, impressions, and what Russia is like today. It may be contrary to the current narrative out there and includes numerous photos of his travels.
Kyshtym disaster (English subtitles)
The Kyshtym disaster was a radioactive contamination accident that occurred on 29 September 1957 at Mayak, a plutonium production site in Russia for nuclear weapons and nuclear fuel processing plant of the Soviet Union.
Yuri Krivonischneko, a member of the ill-fated trek to what is now known as Dyatlov Pass that ended with the deaths of all 9 ski hikers worked in Mayak at the time of the disaster. Yuri Krivonishenko was among the people who was sent to clean the radioactive leak. At the time of his death on Dyatlov Pass his body will wear clothes that have traces of radioactivity that some link to this particular event. However being specialist engineer Yuri had more knowledge about radioactivity and means to avoid unwanted exposure.
