Königsberg Cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Adalbert is a gothic-style brick monument in present day Kaliningrad, Russia. The cathedral is located on Kneiphof island in the Pregel (Pregolya) river.
The construction of the cathedral is considered to have been begun in 1330 and was largely completed in 1380....
The choir contained murals from the 14th and 15th centuries, late Gothic wood carvings, and medieval monuments in the Renaissance style, the chief of which was a statue of Albert, Duke of Prussia, carved by Cornelis Floris de Vriendt in 1570.
The cathedral originally had two spires. The spires (one north and one south) overlooked the entrance (west side) of the cathedral. In 1544 the two spires were destroyed by fire. The south spire was rebuilt, but the north spire was replaced by a simple gable roof. In 1640 a clock was built underneath the rebuilt spire, and from 1650 the famous Wallenrodt Library, donated by Martin von Wallenrodt, was situated underneath the gable roof.
n late August 1944, British bombers carried out two night raids on Königsberg. The first raid, on 26/27 August, largely missed the city, but the second raid, on 29/30, destroyed most of the old part of Königsberg (including Kneiphof), and the cathedral was hit.
After the war, the cathedral remained a burnt-out shell and Kneiphof was made into a park with no other buildings.
Shortly after Kaliningrad was opened to foreigners in the early 1990s, work began on reconstructing the cathedral. By 1994, a new spire was installed and the following year, the clock was replaced. Today, the cathedral has two chapels, one Lutheran, the other Russian Orthodox...

Journalists, including those from other countries, were shown the new Russian military base in the Arctic for the first time. Northern Clever on Kotelny Island, it's 300 miles from here to the mainland. One can get there only with a helicopter. There's no internet or cell network there. Only polar bears and eternal frost around. It's comfortable to serve there, though - a modern military base has been built for servicemen.

KRONSTADT - the Soviet naval base - ROGER GEORGE CLARK photos
The English broadcaster and photographer ROGER GEORGE CLARK visited the island fortress and home base of the Baltic Fleet in September 1990.
'The Communists were still in power in Russia and the island was off-limits to most foreigners. I was the first BBC broadcaster to go there and record a feature for the BBC World Service. I also took my cameras. Time was short - just three afternoons - and the broadcast had priority. So I had to grab what photos I could between recordings. I know of no other Western photographer who visited Kronstadt in Soviet times, let alone tried to produce a photo essay there.
'Kronstadt, one naval officer told me, was the cradle of the Russian navy, the holy of holies. Situated in the Gulf of Finland the fortress was founded in 1704-04 by Peter the Great to protect his new city St Petersburg.
'Later the island became a hotbed of revolution. In 1905 and 1906 Kronstadt sailors mutinied, avenging years of maltreatment by throwing their officers into the ships' furnaces. They played a key role during the 1917 Revolution and revolted again in 1921 when Lenin failed to fulfil the democratic expectations of the revolution.
'What did the Kronstadt sailors want? - freedom of speech and assembly, free trade unions, the re-election of soviets by secret ballot, equal rations for all and for peasants to be able to do what they liked with their land. Lenin was enraged. Trotsky brutally suppressed the uprising, thousands of sailors were killed, executed and sent to concentration camps and the island's population deported. Many executions took place in the wooded ravine crossed by a suspension bridge. This charming-looking area was the scene of mass murder. And Anchor Square, which is dominated by the Sea Cathedral, contains mass graves.
'The crushing of the Kronstadt revolt was a key moment in the Bolshevik revolution. It destroyed all hope that Communism would lead to a more humane and democratic society. Dictatorship now became permanent and spread to other Communist regimes throughout the world. Russians had to wait until the 1980s to loosen its grip.
'I also photographed the former officers' club which still retained it's carved wooden staircase and a beautifully decorated theatre visited by the tsar. In fact, a surprising number of 18th- and 19th-century buildings survive despite revolutions and terrible damage during WWII, including vast warehouses stretching along the canals and a wooden lighthouse. Before 1917 Englishmen were a familiar sight in Kronstadt. One expert claimed half the Russian officers connected with the island's early days were English.
'Coming more up to date ... President Vladimir Putin's father was in the navy and must have known the island well. There were the usual Communist slogans and - a sign of the times - one that declared:- Submariners - what have you done for perestroika?
'A melancholy air hangs over Kronstadt. All that misery has seeped into the atmosphere. But, as you will see, I was greeted warmly by the modern inhabitants. The island was sealed off to outsiders during Communist times. I was one of the first Englishmen made welcome at the naval base since before the First World War in 1914 when Admiral Beatty arrived with a squadron of battle-cruisers. I, however, arrived in less style. A Russian friend drove me there in his Lada.
Now that Kronstadt is open to foreigners I would like to return and spend more time photographing island life in detail. I just scratched the surface in the three afternoons I was there. But whether I shall ever go back remains to be seen.
'Here on YouTube you can find more photos I took in Soviet Moscow and Leningrad/St Petersburg in the 1980s and early 1990s by typing my name - ROGER GEORGE CLARK - into the search box. If you're interested in naval matters you might like my video entitled Soviet sailors in Leningrad. They're just some of the 12,000 photos I took on my visits to Russia. Many more lurk in my archives! You can find more details on my website.'
Можно ли сделать из говна конфетку
Калининград – город, где пытаются реанимировать историю.
Раз! И стандартные пятиэтажки превращаются в историческую застройку. Два! Восстанавливают Деревянный мост, и пускают по нему трамваи. Три! Делают очень странную набережную.
В целом, вся эта реновация имеет к истории очень отдалённое отношение.

Revamping The Venice of the North! Putin Warns St. Petersburg Governor: Make Good Use Of Money
Russian president Vladimir Putin had a working meeting with Acting Governor of St Petersburg Alexander Beglov. The discussion focused on topical issues of the city’s development.
Subscribe to Vesti News
Alexander Beglov thanked the President for instructing to transfer 10.6 billion rubles from the Reserve Fund for social needs. The difficulty in the city arose because housing construction was ahead of infrastructure development, so this money will be invested in building, by September 1, four schools, 24 preschools, 16 general doctor’s offices, including an out-patient clinic and a maternity welfare centre.
In addition, there is a need to purchase 470 units of multi-purpose snow clearing equipment by next winter. New tram cars are also needed. The city is taking out loans for this, and there is an agreement with the Finance Ministry on interest rate subsidies.
Certain environmental issues were also discussed.
According to Mr Beglov, 3.9 million foreign tourists visited St Petersburg last year. This year the city expects over 4 million. St Petersburg boasts 1,379 historical heritage sites, including 255 residential buildings with very detailed facades. The plan is to renovate them within 10 years. About 17 billion rubles are required for this.
The funds can be raised, in part, by introducing a 100 ruble tourist fee. City officials held talks with the Economic Development Ministry and the Finance Ministry on amending the Tax Code to this effect. These funds will be allocated for the restoration of these buildings.
Mr Beglov also briefed the President on his talks with Russian Railways concerning the development of the St Petersburg railway hub. A respective agreement will be signed in a few days.
The President noted that similar projects have been implemented in Moscow, so they can be replicated. This will be instrumental in developing the city’s transport infrastructure, relieving the downtown of excess traffic and improving the environment. Mr Putin stressed that this was a good project.

beautiful photo Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow Russia
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is a cathedral in Moscow, Russia, on the northern bank of the Moskva River, a few blocks southwest of the Kremlin. With an overall height of 103 metres (338 ft), it is the tallest Orthodox Christian church in the world.
The current church is the second to stand on this site. The original church, built during the 19th century, took more than 40 years to build. It was destroyed in 1931 on the order of the Soviet Leader, Joseph Stalin. The demolition was supposed to make way for a colossal Palace of the Soviets to house the country's legislature, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. Construction started in 1937 but was halted in 1941 when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union during World War II. Its steel frame was disassembled the following year, and the Palace was never built. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the current church was rebuilt on the site during 1995-2000.
The original church was the scene of the 1882 world premiere of the 1812 Overture composed by Tchaikovsky, which became internationally famous.
Deadly torrential rains cause havoc and destruction in Northern Italy
Flooding caused by torrential rain in northern Italy has claimed at least one victim while five people are still missing, according to local authorities.
The regions of Piedmont and Liguria were the hardest hit with homes evacuated and businesses closed on Thursday. The Tanaro River broke its banks in several places, isolating the town of Garessio, where water flooded ground-floor residencies and shops.
Waves of muddy water battered stone and wooden bridges and at least 25 roads were closed.
