American Mormons Buy Russian Dead Souls for Afterlife Polygamy - Russian TV News
Subscribe to Vesti News
It has turned out that MORMON POLYGAMISTS have been buying Russian dead souls since the early 90s. They literally buy them, for 7 cents per 5 names. The rumor has it, 15 to 20 million Russians have become Mormons postmortem. Why do Mormons need that? Zinaida Kurbatova tried to find the answer. Zinaida, good evening! Hello! Looks like a Gogol's story, doesn't it? It does. A short answer is that polygamy is widespread among Mormons. I will explain. Everyone remembers Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol: Chichikov was planning to get a loan against serfs, purportedly alive, who were actually dead. Later, the fraud was exposed. So, why do American Mormons need Russian dead souls, when the sect's representatives claim not to be interested in money? It turns out that their faith recommends that Mormon men have more than one wife. Even if the woman passed away a long time ago, she could become a Mormon spouse. Roman Silantyev, religious expert: The Mormon elite, who get their own planets after death, constitute about 15% of the congregation. I mean, those who have gone through all the necessary ceremonies. So, the elite intends to solve the problem with polygamy somehow. They couldn't find any other way to do that but to marry the dead. They buy data in archives. Vitaly Semyonov, genealogist: Every church member is obliged to conduct personal and community genealogical research. In short, Mormons took Chichikov's wrong way, and they did it long ago. Since the early 90s, the visitors from Utah have tried to get the personal data of Russians who were born before the October Revolution, and they did that many times. Mormons requested many archives for scanned birth certificates of Russian Empire subjects, in exchange for electronic equipment. In Yekaterinburg, their request was denied. Mormons were told that the relatives of the departed might be against that. What is more, the archive specialists found that the contract was no more than an audacious fraud. Alexander Kapustin, chief archivist: When we read the contract, which we were supposed to sign, we found out that they were going to grant us the equipment only for the time to scan the papers. As soon as the scanning would have finished, they would have taken both data and equipment, and that's it. It's a fact, that Mormons requested all Russian archives back then, but we don't know if all the archives denied the requests. Maybe, some of them finally acquired the equipment and provided the data. Anyhow, Mormons were turned away in Arkhangelsk, too. They requested 7,000 files dating from the 1780s to 1917. Nikolai Shumilov, chief archivist: That insulted the feelings of the followers of the Russian Orthodox faith. They didn't want Mormons to proselytize all their ancestors, going back to 18th century. Russians show great interest in their ancestry, in the history of their families. Some visit archives themselves, others hire specialists, private genealogy experts. Archives are mostly under-funded, they are left to self-sustainment. How can an archive earn money? Exactly, by drawing up genealogical trees. But in this case, archives will have to monopolize this market, keeping both amateurs and professionals away from the files. Vitaly Semyonov, genealogist: That story about malicious Mormons has been around since 2005. It comes up every time when someone demands that certain archives should start working properly, that they should open the access to personal files for everyone, like other Russian archives have done at last. Some say, that Mormons haven't become more active than usual, but regional archives want us to believe they have, for they can deny personal access to files on that ground, saying they doubt you came to work for yourself, and suspect you of working for the Mormons. Since 2002, in Arkhangelsk, visitors have no other choice but to order the files and, at some point they get a printout, but not an original document. Some time ago, the court ruled that, starting from 2020, the Arkhangelsk regional archive must start to operate like all other archives around the country. It's not clear whether they will adapt to the new rules. So, genealogists assume that archives may benefit from Mormon attacks. Zinaida Kurbatova on Mormons and dead souls.

«Архиград» - неизвестные факты об известных местах города-героя Волгограда. 15.03.2017.
Синагога на улице Балахнинской.
Идея телепередачи - рассказать неизвестные факты об известных местах города-героя, поведать об архитектуре и культурном наследии.
Уже почти год в эфире региональный телеканал федерального значения «Волгоград 24». Каждый час наши коллеги рассказывают о главных новостях. В контенте также тематические программы, фильмы, сериалы, документальное кино.
Для Дмитрия Герасимова, автора программы «Архиград» на «Волгоград 24», история родного города, да и все, что связано с интересными и уникальными фактами, целая жизнь. Слушать его истории можно бесконечно, открывая для себя все больше нового в, казалось бы, привычных вещах.
В пределах небольшого двора Волгограда раньше, по рассказам Дмитрия Герасимова, как оказалось, был и Дом книги, и редакция газет «Сталинградская правда» и «Молодой ленинец», и прежний Главпочтамт. По словам журналиста, картина Царицына и Сталинграда, выстраивается в голове постепенно. Этому предшествует множество прочитанных книг, изученных старых газет, карт.
По словам Дмитрия, архитектурно-историческое расследование – именно так он называет свою программу – уже сейчас служит учебным пособием в некоторых школах Волгограда. Из выпусков «Архиграда» школьники узнают о занимательных фактах истории родного края. Журналист признается: после каждой программы зрители пишут письма благодарности, а иногда и дают свои замечания. Для автора программы это стимул рассказывать еще больше и интереснее.

Back in the U.S.S.R.- Krasnoyarsk
The third stop on our tour across the entire country of Russia was Krasnoyarsk, deep within the Siberian countryside. There we were greeted by a blissful group of devotees, who introduced us to yet another amazing temple in this far-distant and isolated part of God's creation. Unique in the congregation of devotees was a group of gypsies, old friends of mine, who relished our visit as we chanted and danced together in great happiness.

A look at Kazan, Russia's 3rd capital and one of its most multicultural cities
(4 Jun 2018) Russia's third capital is to host four group games, a Round of 16 match and a quarter-final in this year's football World Cup.
Kazan is one of Russia's oldest cities, and, for over 1,000 years, has also been one of its most multicultural.
More than 100 ethnic groups live in the Tatar capital.
The grand Tatar mosque, Qol Sarif, located in the middle of the Kazan Kremlin, is situated right next to an Orthodox Church.
A Jewish synagogue is also nearby, in a neighbouring district.
There is a long-running dispute as to whether Kazan was founded by the Volga Bulgars in the early Middle Ages or by the Mongols of the Golden Horde in the mid-15th century.
However, Finno-Ugric peoples were assimilated by Kipchaks here, then Russians came, and that created the modern Kazan population.
This Khanate (a political entity of Kazan ruled by a Khan) seemed to Ivan the Terrible a little dangerous, although it was friendly towards the Russian Empire, and he found it possible to conquer it (the Khanate of Kazan) to make it easier, said Liya Bushkanets, a professor at the Leo Tolstoy Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communication at Kazan Federal University.
Then Russian troops went to the East. Thus Tatar lines and Russian lines were intermixed here. Plus, there are a lot of folks here, in the Volga region: Chuvash, Mari people are not far from here. Later Jews came here. That's why Kazan turned into a city where an enormous number of nationalities live.
Today, almost a half of Kazan citizens are Tatars, who converse fluently in Russian and Tatar, and observe the Muslim faith.
Many Tatar Muslims grew up with traditional Russian values.
Their creed is often referred to as Euro-Islam as the alternative to religious conservatism and extremism.
Many Tatars are not devout believers, and are secular, as religion in Tatarstan was seriously damaged in Soviet times.
In a small neighbourhood in Kazan's outskirts, an orthodox priest came to talk to an imam, his friend, on a first-name basis.
He later joins Iftar, the evening meal with which Muslims end their daily Ramadan fast at sunset.
Both clergies and their parish help each other to solve the problems of their local community.
There have been no conflicts for the last period of time. Probably, it was in history, let's say. But today we reap the benefits of our ancestors as they managed to create friendly coexistence among religions, Abbyaz Khazrat, the imam of the Tynychlyk mosque, said.
Not only are we not going to kill each other, but, if one needs help with something, we surely are going to come forward. He has parishioners who could help, and I have parishioners who could come to help as well, said Valeriy, the Orthodox priest.
In the city the principle of parity works when the construction of a new mosque implies the onset of an Orthodox church.
Many Jews, whose community in Kazan is one of the largest and most prosperous in the country, say they have almost never faced anti-Semitic sentiments here.
One of the most prestigious schools of Kazan is Jewish: founded 20 years ago in a general education institution, it has been completely reequipped with help from the Jewish diaspora.
Kazan families, including many Tatar Muslims and Russians, want their children to enter the school despite mandatory Hebrew classes, but only one of three applicants gets in.
Recently, Russia's only Museum of Samogon, a Russian moonshine, had opened in Kazan.
The authorities reacted harshly.

Saturday in Russia - No alcoholics were used in the creation of this video
If you would like to take part in this project and to claim your free camera, please visit my site:
All foreigners who live, lived or have visited Russia can agree on one thing, Russia is an amazing country. Now I’m not gonna do a pitch on how amazing it is. It is however, my adopted country and I can say one thing for sure, Russia gets ridiculously bad press!!!!
The reason I started this project was so we can honestly show what Russia is really like. This is to benefit anybody wanting to visit Russia and wants honest information. This is not Government sponsored or any sort of propaganda. On this site you will see the good and the bad.
The Idea is simple. Anyone can upload a video here. As long as it is about Russia. Please make clips about anything to do with Russia. About your daily life, events, places to visit, work, study, living, hints.
If you are a foreigner living in Russia then you qualify for a FREE Action Camera! To help you to make videos! See the link on the homepage menu for more information.
If you are viewing this site as a guest, I hope that you enjoy the content. If you have any questions at all about anything related to Russia, feel free to contact me. I will be glad to assist you in any way that I can.
My name is Sam Hyland. I am an Englishman living in Russia since 2004. I have been involved in a number of different projects during my time here and had lots of experiences, good and bad. As a foreigner, I understand the difficulties of moving to Russia (Not because Russia is a big, bad, scary country) because while it maybe big, it is far from scary! Russia is an exciting country and has lots to offer anyone who would like to give it a try.
The main difficulty with coming to Russia is of course the language. If you don’t speak it, then it’s difficult to get information about how to come, where to stay and what to do. There are so many unanswered questions and huge media bias which provides a lack of credible information as to what life in Russia is genuinely like.
For this reason, above all, I decided to create this site.
So who am I? And why should you trust me?
As I already mentioned, I have lived here for a number of years. I also have gone through the whole process of relocating to a new country, and all the ups and downs as a foreigner living in Russia. Hopefully I can make your transition easier because of it.
When I first arrived in Russia, I had nobody to help me, so I found lots of foreign friends and spoke only English with them. They were my support network and if it wasn’t for them, then my life would have been very difficult.
Before arriving in Russia, I had no idea about what it would be like, it was a complete mystery. While I don’t want to ruin these first time experiences for you, I know that there are so many questions that you would like answering and through this site I can do that for you.
I have had the chance to meet and become friends with some fantastic people and had some really amazing experiences. Russian people are extremely hospitable and I have been lucky enough to be invited to many Russian weddings, festivals, parties, events and so much more….
I live in the city of Vladimir (2 hours drive from Moscow) This is a provincial Russian town with a population of about 350,000. Usually when people think about Russia, they think of Moscow or St Pertersburg, While these are both amazing and fascinating places, there is far more to Russia than just these cities.
During my time here I have worked in a number of professions and have a large contact base. I can help you with all sorts of questions. About life, study, work and travel in Russia! And if I don’t know the answer to your question, then I’m sure I know somebody who can answer your question!
What do I do? How do I live here?
Right now I’m an Affiliate Marketer, so I make money online. I also Run a small language school.
In 2012 I opened a Volunteer language school in Vladimir. For 4 years I employed volunteers from the UK who came to Russia to teach English and study Russian language. I ran this program with the association of Nottingham University, we took on many 3rd year Russian language students who lived, studied and taught in Vladimir. You can see our site, though it’s in Russian!
I have the experience of assisting foreigners with the process of travelling to Russia and I can help assist you, just reach out to me, I will be happy to help.

The Interior of the Greek Orthodox church of Yasif village, Galilee, Israel
Zahi Shaked A tour guide in Israel and his camera
zahigo25@walla.com +972-54-6905522 tel סיור עם מורה הדרך ומדריך הטיולים צחי שקד 0546905522
My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
Back to The Motherland - Sochi with Indradyumna Swami
The city of Sochi is situated on the Back Sea in southern Russia. The region is very beautiful with snow-capped mountains on one side of the city and beautiful beaches on the other. The city and it’s many attractions serve as an attractive resort with nice weather all year long. ISKCON has had a temple in Sochi for a number of years. Devotees preach mainly through Nama Hatta groups as well as regularly inviting people to the temple for special functions. We enjoyed 3 days in the association of the Sochi devotees and their ever expanding congregation.

LIVE from Damascus as the safe zones agreement comes into force on May 5, at 21:00GMT.
The live camera is pointing at the Jobar area of Damascus, which is under the control of opposition forces, and which falls under the terms of the agreement. The deal was negotiated by Russia, Iran and Turkey during the Intra-Syrian talks in Astana, Kazakhstan on Thursday, May 4.
