The icons, inlaid and painted work, richly decorated with gold are testimony of time. The icon and the painting of icons came to Russia from Byzantium. But Russia added something very important to them: she inspired them, gave the images of the saints more life. The colors used by the Russian icon-painters possessed an invigorating power. The images of the saints are lighting up, they are like living persons. The images of the Holy Virgin, Jesus on the cross, the holy Dmitry and George the Victor, they were not only worshipped and admired by the ancients, but they were taken as an example. It was a spiritual process. In his studio the icon-painter creates icons. This tradition has been existing through the centuries. The album below presents a documentary devoted to orthodox icon restoration. Filmed are ancient Russian icons and cathedrals, recorded are interviews of artists and clerical authorities.Religion $amn; Social issues http://www.russianfootage.com/show/a_troika_in_winter/L215_00.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L215/video/L215_00.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L215/foto/L215_00.jpg A Troika In Winter Views of famous Russian troika at winter filmed in Vladimir, Russia?s ancient city of the Golden Ring.

An academician, Dr. of Philology, an honourary doctor of Oxford and Edinburgh Universities, Likhachev devoted his life to the study of old Russian literature. He wrote more than 500 works - books, articles, theses - about old monuments. It would seem that such specific studies are interesting only to a narrow circle of colleagues. Not at all, since Dmitry Likhachev is a special case. His professional activity is inseparable from his public work. He was a man with a profound social conscience. His passing in September 1999 at 93 years old was something of a national tragedy for many. Besides his scholarship, Likhachev was a survivor and critic of the Soviet regime who ended his years of service to Russia as a member of the Duma. Filmed is Likhachev speaking on his experiences during the Soviet period, arrest in 1928, time spent in the island prison camp of Solovki (described is his case ?195), repressions, war, and on the survival of intellectual activity in spite of these horrors. A man with Likhachev's upbringing and training met most of the intellectuals of his day. He turns over the pages of a book with photographs of many outstanding people that were arrested in Soviet times.History $amn; Events http://www.russianfootage.com/show/aerial_track_over_forest_and_towns/L1_000.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L1/video/L1_000.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L1/foto/L1_000.jpg Aerial track over forest and towns Video images taken from helicopter flying over Russia.

Related story: ANTI-CANCER VACCINE INVENTED BY RUSSIAN SCIENTIST Vet scientist from Maritime region Vassili Britov has taken out Russian patent N 2172182 which officially confirms the vaccine educed by him to be an effective mean against cancer. Patents for Britov-s vaccine are being registered now in 130 countries. According to Vassili Britov, he had for 20 years to get over different bureaucracy barriers and ambitious positions of medicine authorities to obtain his vaccine to be acknowledged. In 1978 Britov noticed that animals infected with trichinosis never have cancer, though it is spread among animals as well. The scientist tried to specially inject trichinosis-s bacterium into animal organism. Numerous experiments with mice and rats and than with animals suffering from cancer gave encouraging results. Britov started to treat people for cancer with this mean. The vaccine was tested on patients suffering from cancer of intestines, respiratory tract, liver and kidney. More than 50 people were healed during this experiment. First results showed that on initial stage of the illness Vassili Britov-s method allows to achieve almost absolutely positive results. On final stage of the illness nine patients of every ten could recover. Britov-s discovery was being broadly discussed. Though official medicine did not want to acknowledge his discovery for a very long time. According to the scientist, his method of biological therapy is similar to a bee-s sting. Trichinas penetrating into organism provoke an easy trichinosis and at the same time eat cancer cells and completely renew normal functioning of the organism. Simply speaking: to fight fire with fire. Vassili Britov has followers and opponents. Though the fact that his method has been patented in Russia and will be patented soon in 130 countries proves that it is a real discovery. Vassili Britov supposes to conquer many illnesses people must first of all study their mother nature which hides many natural drugs.Health $amn; Medicine http://www.russianfootage.com/show/antique_cars_horch_853_of_1935/T1_000.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/T1/video/T1_000.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/T1/foto/T1_000.jpg Antique cars.

The deadly action was traced back to a cult called Aum Shinrikyo. In 1984 its leader, Shoko Asahara (the real name is Chizuo Matsumoto) founded Aum, or Supreme Truth based on blend of Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity. Asahara announced that it is necessary to prepare for the inevitable Armageddon, and his followers began construction of nuclear shelters and communes where they could escape worldly distractions. Aum produced biochemical weapons, including advanced nerve agents. Asahara was sentenced to death for the numerous crimes. But the cult, which has changed its name to Aleph, still exists. The footage demonstrates the consequences of the infamous subway gas attack in Tokyo underground when 12 people were killed and thousands injured (special forces cleaning the train, people suffering from suffocation). Aum Shinrikyo is an exceptionally well-organized sect with contacts outside Japan, notably in Russia.

The term "Lysenkoism" denotes a very dangerous phenomenon: an effort to suppress a field of research when it conflicts with a dominant political agenda. Lysenko was just the most successful among party-sponsored pseudo-scientists (he and his supporters managed almost completely destroy the Russian genetic school in the name of Marxism). He wanted to prosper by serving as a political force. Several genetics who failed to accept the new cult were laid off, imprisoned, or even killed by authorities. Lysenko, ideological shepherd of Soviet geneticists, announced that Soviet agrobiologists can even turn wheat into rye. All they have to do is plant wheat in places where the climate is tough for it. The video shows Lysenko demonstrating his agricultural achievements, combine harvester gathering wheat, modified plants in greenhouse, melons cultivated in Moscow.

Our camera crew travelled to the Caspian Sea, where 90 percent of the world's caviar comes from. You will see all stages of making caviar some of which are not as pleasant as caviar taste on the table. Four species of sturgeon is considered to produce the best caviar: the Beluga, Osetra, Sevruga and Sterlet. Each of these species calls the Caspian Sea its home. After centuries of intensive fishing and mass industrialization, the stock of fish available in the Caspian Sea has greatly diminished. The increasing rarity of the Caspian sturgeon is the major factor contributing to the high cost of caviar. Sterlet, which produces small-grained golden caviar, was at one time considered the finest, the species is now close to extinction, and the sterlet caviar is almost never seen. Beluga, which is the largest of the sturgeon family, produces large, glistening black berries. It is considered the finest available. You will see recorded what happens nowadays. Sturgeon is caught in large nets set by fishermen and guided to the shore by boats. When a female sturgeon of egg-bearing age is caught in a net, it is stunned by a blow to the head with a wooden club. Then it is taken to the processing room. A precise incision is cut in the belly of the fish and the egg sack is removed whole. In Russia, the eggs are removed before the fish dies. Also filmed caviar business involving poaching, illegal harvesting of sturgeon and espionage; the most beautiful supermarket in the centre of Moscow which is considered to be the most reputable distributor of caviar among tourists; luxurious Russian restaurants serving caviar proper way.Industrial http://www.russianfootage.com/show/black_sea_beach/127_033.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L127/video/127_033.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L127/foto/127_033.jpg Black Sea beach Black Sea beachCities $amn; Landmarks http://www.russianfootage.com/show/blepharoplasty/MP5_12.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/MP5/video/MP5_12.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/MP5/foto/MP5_12.jpg Blepharoplasty Eyelid plastic surgery video.

Both species are found in the wooded areas of the Russian Far East and are native to south-eastern Siberia. The story reveals the reproduction process, habitat requirements, ecological needs, and behavior of these species. The raccoon dog, also known as the tanuki, is a dog that for all intents and purposes looks exactly like a raccoon, including its markings and build. Raccoon dogs have no close living relatives in the dog family, though they show both behavioral and physical links to the bat-eared fox. Tanuki are as famous as foxes for their supposed supernatural powers for transformation and illusion, but whereas the tricks that foxes play on humans are often tinged with cruelty, tanuki tricks are more often described as being just good-natured tomfoolery. The East Asian giant soft-shell turtle, after surviving for thousands of years in the lakes of the Russian Far East and Southeast Asia, may finally be faced with extinction. Freshwater turtles and tortoises across Asia have become increasingly endangered by a wide variety of threats, including hunting for consumption locally, regionally and internationally, as well as the pet trade.Nature $amn; Wildlife http://www.russianfootage.com/show/boutique/H13_2_0.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/H13_2/video/H13_2_0.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/H13_2/foto/H13_2_0.jpg Boutique Views of Christian Dior and Baldinini Boutique situated in central Moscow.Industrial http://www.russianfootage.com/show/bowling/L216_19.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L216/video/L216_19.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L216/foto/L216_19.jpg Bowling Bowling , GamesSport http://www.russianfootage.com/show/brezhnev/L90_000.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L90_Soviet/video/L90_000.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L90_Soviet/foto/L90_000.jpg Brezhnev Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev.

Shamanism, first of all, is the most ancient religion and belief to the fact, that some people have abilities to enter direct dialogue with natural forces, with spirits. Shamanism is treated as a religion of worship to a nature and the Universe, and shamans act as the original intermediaries between Space and person, counting, that the person is a unique creation, a particle of a nature.

Over more than 200 years of its existence only several people managed to escape from there. One of these lucky persons was Felix Dzerzinski. Now Butyrka,also called Pretrial Detention Center No. 2, is recognized as a historical landmark and is protected by the state. People being accused of various crimes including killing are staying in the Butyrskaya pre-trial detention prison for several months in row. Unlike other prisons which are run by the Federal Security Service and has a regime rigorously enforced by prison officials, Butyrka's population is governed by criminal bosses serving there. ?The informal prison law enforced by these bosses is better for the inmates than no law at all. It protects them from bullying by other inmates and helps them survive," said Valery Abramkin, who served in Butyrka for a year in 1980 on charges of disseminating anti-Soviet propaganda.

The process of making a perfect pre-dinner cocktail involves lots of chemistry and many tedious physical manipulations. Champagne has no peer and nothing else deserves the name. In order to be accorded the appellation Champagne, the wines must be made from the Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier or Chardonnay grapes grown in the departments of the Marne, Aube, Aisne, Seine-et-Marne and Haute-Marne. Together with our camera crew you will learn about M?thode champenoise, the process of secondary fermentation in the bottle that produces sparkling wines from still wines. You will see every stage of this process taken place within the Champagne region. Follow us into a cool cellar where the bottles are placed and allowed to slowly ferment, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. Each day the riddle comes through the cellar and turns 30,000 bottles 1/8th of a turn while keeping it upside down. Since the bottle is sealed, the carbon dioxide cannot escape producing the sparkle wine we call "Champagne".Food http://www.russianfootage.com/show/che_guevara/H33_00.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/H33/video/H33_00.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/H33/foto/H33_00.jpg Che Guevara Che Guevara as a leader of governmental economic mission of Cuba is met in Moscow by leader of Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev for mutual assignment of Soviet-Cuban communique.

Several ?closed? towns in the region were strategically important. These cities did not appear on maps, and even today it is not easy to obtain environment or health information there. Filming is even more difficult. The footage is filmed on the Mayak nuclear complex in Chelyabinsk-40 where a nuclear waste storage tank exploded in 1957. Day to day operation of the Mayak reactor contaminated a vast area of the region. This nuclear accident released twice the amount of curies that were released by the Chernobyl accident. Mayak is situated in the area around Lake Kyzyltash where the radioactive waste was dumped to. The lake eventually accumulated 120 million curies of the long-lived radionuclides. Our camera crew filmed the lake?s surroundings and plant?s interiors; recorded interviews with engineers and plant?s former employees who speak on work conditions. Here locals are in need on social protection and medical aid. The contamination lead to dramatic increases in cancer rates, birth defects, and sterility.Environmental http://www.russianfootage.com/show/chemical_weapon_storage/Eco1_15.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/Eco1/video/Eco1_15.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/Eco1/foto/Eco1_15.jpg Chemical weapon storage Chemical and biological weapons stockpile of Kizner and the city of Izhevsk, the Udmurt Republic.

It was the world's worst nuclear accident. Ten years later, the radiation remains. It's there in the soil; in the animals; in the people. Footage filmed beyond the contaminated 30-kilometer zone around Chernobyl. The concrete tomb encasing the reactor hasn't held up. And some believe it's a threat to the world. Forty tons of radioactive dust has accumulated inside. And there's a pressed slab of uranium and concrete that some believe could lead to a chain reaction, causing a more powerful explosion than the original one. The camera crew arrives to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, where the world's worst nuclear accident took place in 1986. Views of the territory: a concrete buildings, power plant inside, a sign ?Reactor 4? is showing a way to the dangerous sarcophagus, the crew and specialists are putting on protective clothing and respirators, a special device showing a level of a personal radiation while visiting a plant is put inside the pocket.

Interview recorded: - Is Reactor 4 far away from here? - Close enough, take a staircase and you are almost there. - We came here because we heard of dangerous situations in Reactor 4 - There was something wrong with monitoring equipment. Or there is also another theory it might be because of heavy rain. A specialist is showing a wall: ?This wall built of lead to protect workers from radiation. But I must that there is no need in it any longer?. Questions about work and life in the Chernobyl area.

The Zone is a radioactive area centered on Chernobyl and Pripyat of some 1,000 square miles from which 135,000 people were evacuated in 1986-87. Since then several hundred of the older generation have slowly returned to their homes in the Zone and, in spite of the radioactivity, some have lived there up to five years. The old people say that can't see, taste, smell or touch the invisible deadly radiation so it doesn't bother them. People come back to abandoned villages around Chernobyl to populate their homes. Do they afraid of radiation, why do they come back? They tell to our crew their life stories.

Nuclear power plant located 80 miles north of Kiev had 4 reactors and whilst testing reactor number 4 numerous safety procedures were disregarded. At 1:23am the chain reaction in the reactor became out of control creating explosions and a fireball, which blew off the reactor's heavy steel and concrete lid. The Chernobyl accident killed more than 30 people immediately, and as a result of the high radiation levels in the surrounding 20-mile radius, 135, 00 people had to be evacuated. The footage filmed from 1995-2003 shows close-ups of Chernobyl from different corners and angles. We posses rare footage of inside views of exploded Reactor 4. Panoramas and close up views of Sarcophagus which was constructed hastily and is currently not in good shape at all. Recent studies find the Sarcophagus covering Reactor No. 4 to be full of holes. A view of concrete tomb, metal constructions around the plant. Our camera crew followed an Environmental commission entering the power plant. We filmed all the special procedures, special uniform which must be taken on before the entrance. Views filmed in 1996 - 1999 when Reactors No. 1, 2 and 3 were functioning at Chernobyl. Unit 2 reactor was shut down five years later, after a serious turbine building fire; Unit 1 was closed in November 1996. The last operating Chernobyl reactor, Unit 3, was closed December 15 2003. Tape E29: Statement Mr. Victor Brukhanov, the former director of Chernobyl NPP: Became publicly famous in connection to ten accident after speaking at a Ukraine Green Party press conference in Kiev on 4 December 2000, he confirmed the unreliable design of RBMK reactors. This statement radically contradicts explanations which blamed the disaster on violations of operational safety on the part of plant personnel. ?The time all the experiments/ trainings were finished instead of stopping the reaction there was an explosion. You can compare it to the car, you would like to stop the car but instead you spread it up?. Comments On the accident: ?The key thing is the design of the reactor. The human factor of course played some role but not the major one. One had to find someone to blame. Here is a responsible person, look at him? I understood it quite good? ?I regret that I can?t continue working in the atomic industry.?Environmental http://www.russianfootage.com/show/children_old_people/L191_2_21.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L191_2/video/L191_2_21.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/L191_2/foto/L191_2_21.jpg Children Old people Filming of the Knowledge day (1st of September) celebrated in one of Russian schools.

His practical young wife, Anna Grigoryevna, took over his financial affairs, and they purchased a house in the quiet provincial town of Staraya Russa, where much of "The Brothers Karamazov" was written. The writer was a wanderer; for a long time Dostoevsky did not have his own house. When he bought this very house in Staraya Russa he settled and enjoyed ?ordinary person? life, firsts time in his entire life he felt understood. This house was surrounded by love; Dostoevsky could do everything here, even ridiculous things. Neighbors remembered that there was a light in the house during nights and probably the writer was up all the night. Dostoevsky was living here with his beloved wife, the best friend he ever had. The documentary encompasses family pictures, quotations from Dostoevsky? letters and diary. These were years of the Populist movement, successors to the revolutionaries of the 1840s, men with whom Dostoevsky had been allied before he was sent to Siberia and returned a mystical conservative. Dostoevsky opposed most of the Populist program. You will see revolutionary demonstrations in the town of Russa: a person with slogans, another one is playing harmonica, young people enjoying contemporary music on the streets.

Patriot or traitor? More than one-half century after his execution, General Andrei Vlasov remains one of the World War II's most controversial figures. A brilliant Soviet commander, General Vlasov played an important role during the defence of Moscow at the end of 1941. Arrested in 1942 by the Germans, he changed sides. But it was only on September 16, 1944, after an interview with Himmler, that he received the official authorization to create his own Russian Liberation Army, whose first division was created as early as 1943. Vlasov idea was to free Russia of Stalin regime with guaranteed freedoms for its people. He sought to attain his goals through German Nazi sponsorship. These plans ran up against Nazi dogmas of Lebensraum and Slavic inferiority. Vlasov spent much of the war under house arrest. Only in the last months of the war did the Germans consent to sponsor a truncated version of his Liberation Army, with predictably futile results. This new documentary offers newly-found film footage and extensive interviews with Vlasov's surviving associates, lieutenants, and foot soldiers, including Igor Novosiltzev, Constantine Sacharevitsch, Nikolai Kozlov, Nikolai Numerov, Nikolas Vastchenko, and Nikolai A. Chiketov. The views of Vlasov's German backers are represented by Hans von Herwath, Robert Kr?tz, and Helmuth Schwenninger, while William Sloane Coffin, Arthur Cowgill, Frank Roberts, and Tom Dennis comment upon the U.S.-British supervised repatriation of Vlasov's surviving troops to the Soviet Union in 1945. With its multiple perspectives and rich visual documentation, this solidly-researched film provides the clearest picture yet of this difficult subject, revealing Vlasov's tortured legacy in its many dimensions.History $amn; Events http://www.russianfootage.com/show/genetic_engineering/M18_000.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/M18/video/M18_000.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/M18/foto/M18_000.jpg Genetic engineering The footage presents genetic engineering experiments made on domestic animals in Moscow institute of transplantology.

Before the revolution she belonged to the Russian noble family living in Odessa. Her father facing execution in 1919 relocated the whole family to the south estate situated in Besarabia. Two decades later Soviet Arms destroyed the estate. During that time the Soviet regime developed a system of extreme repression and terror that inflicted forced famines, purges, executions, and arrests on the people. Under Josef Stalin, forced-labour camps in Siberia became the pillar of that system. Efrosinia spent 18 years in Siberia at the Kolyma labour camps where he witnessed firsthand one of the darkest periods of Soviet history. She survived the camps, secretly drawing and writing notes of GULAG horrors in her diary. Efrosinia?s was not a professional painter but an educated young woman known several languages.

This vast piece of Arctic and sub-Arctic territory, with its undefined political and geographical borders, was located in the furthest Northeast corner of Siberia. The people of the Soviet Union feared Kolyma more than any other region of the Gulag Empire. "Kolyma znaczit smert" was the common phrase whispered at the time, and translates, without loss, to "Kolyma means death." The secrecy of Kolyma is still being continued. This land, though infamously steeped in human suffering and death, is still cloaked in mystery to the world. In war years Kolyma camps were depopulated. But after 2-3 years who can say that the long ? awaited Victory wouldn?t bring changes. Soviet people were returning to their homeland imbued with a belief in a new and brighter future. But others too were following the Victorious trainloads. They were no flowers for them. Those were Soviet POWs branded as traitors. They were hauled from Germany to Soviet concentration camps. There were two million men and officers alike. Special ? purpose camps introduced by the NKVD in postwar years. A toughened regimen, additional rows of barbed wire, handcuffs and numbers on the back. A person became known by his number rather than name. Ex-POWs ended up in such camps.This film tells about Stalin?s time, about people, who were unfairly condemned for betrayal of the homeland.

Like Big Ben in London, the chimes of the Spasskaya Tower are broadcast over the radio to mark the hour. Russia's major clock is a timepiece, which is almost 600 years old. The clock was installed on the most remarkable of the Kremlin's towers, Spasskaya Tower in 1491. It was built under the supervision of the Italian architect Pietro Antonio Solario. In 1624, it was removed and donated to a provincial monastery, and the English watchmaker Christopher Galloway made a new one for the Kremlin. With the help of thirteen small bells, Galloway's clock was able to 'play music,' as the expression went.Cities $amn; Landmarks http://www.russianfootage.com/show/kremlin_interiors/ART36_000.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/ART36/video/ART36_000.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/ART36/foto/ART36_000.jpg Kremlin interiors Today for a camera crew to step on Red Squire cost $ 1000 for one hour. It is almost impossible to film Kremlin interiors; This footage was filmed in 1993 before Kremlin last restoration. It was unique opportunity to spend two days carefully filming Kremlin decor of closed to the public Kremlin cabinets and halls. The Great Kremlin Palace is a masterpiece of Russian architecture of its time; a complex of buildings with gala reception halls, living rooms, court churches, workshops and household premises. The Great Kremlin Palace has surpassed many other European palaces in its grandeur and magnificence. Elements of various styles, from baroque to classicism, were incorporated in the palaces interiors, which are still almost intact today. Footage includes detailed shots of the gala reception halls- named Georgievsky, Vladimirsky, Andreyevsky, Alexandrovsky and Yekaterininsky- located on the second floor of the Great Kremlin Palace. The Georgievsky (St. Georges) Hall is the largest and most popular of the gala halls. It was conceived as a hall of glory of the Russian army and is devoted to the military Order of St. George instituted by Empress Catherine II in 1769, one of the most honourable of the royal decorations. Relief work, sculpted and gilt bronze decorations adorn the snow-white walls and the vaulted ceiling. The hall glitters in the light of the many-tiered openwork bronze chandeliers and wall lamps set all along the cornices. The huge vaulted ceiling of the hall is held up by 18 massive pillars leaning against the twisted columns cast in zinc. Above their capitals one can see statues- the allegoric images of the regions, which joined the Russian state from the late 15th to the early 19th century (by the sculptor I.P.Vitali). The St.George?s Hall is the Vladimirsky (St.Vladimir?s) Hall devoted to the Order of St. Vladimir instituted by Catherine II in 1782. It was built on the site of the open Boyar Gallery of the 17th century. It is an octagonal room with the corners cut off and there are big broad arches in the low part. The walls and pilasters are covered with rose imitation marble. The cupola-shaped vault is decorated with gilt ornaments and symbols of the Order of St. Vladimir (a red-enameled gold cross and a star). During the day the Hall is lit by the sun shining through the vaulted cupola and in the evening a large bronze chandelier lights up the hall. The pattern of the parquet floor is made of rare species of wood. Alexandrovsky Hall was named in honour of the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky, instituted by Catherine I, in 1725. Its walls were covered with rose-colored imitation marble. A spherical cupola is supported by sail-like vaults and is decorated with the Order?s symbols and state emblems.Moller?s scenes from the life of St. Alexander Nevsky hang on the walls. Hall?s parquet is made from various types of wood after the Academician Solntsev?s design. The room has two tiers of windows, six chandeliers and 28 wall lamps. There are glass panel doors and windows in the back wall. Hall was decorated with four marble mantelpieces and gilded chairs (made by Touret), which were upholstered in velvet of the color of the Order ribbon. The upholstery on the back of the chairs is embroidered with the Order?s stars.Art $amn; Entertainment http://www.russianfootage.com/show/krishnaites/R10_26.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/R10/video/R10_26.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/R10/foto/R10_26.jpg Krishnaites Filming at the place of Krishna followers gatherings in Moscow.

It had been planned to raise the Kursk on September 15, but the operation has been repeatedly delayed by storms and technical problems. The submarine was successfully raised from the seabed. The Kursk's reactors have been safely shut down and did not threaten the lifting operation. The Russian navy also removed the remains of the crew and 22 Granit supersonic cruise missiles. A Russian investigatory commission still hesitates on the cause of the tragedy.

Our camera crew visited LNPP, a top security site, in 1996. The crew was allowed to visit Unit 1 of then station which is considered to be the oldest one in the country. LNPP is the primary source of electricity Russia's North-western region, supplying some 50% of the energy to St Petersburg and Leningrad region. In 2003 LNPP celebrated its 30th anniversary. Atomic industry specialists often draw attention to the truly crumbling state of the plant, which runs four fatally flawed Chernobyl-style RBMK-1000 reactors. Scientists insist that the reactor should be stopped and taken off the grid - and it was shut down in 2003, but then re-launched for further modernization. In 1974 there was an Explosion at Leningrad nuclear power plant. In 1996 foreign were tasked with the first comprehensive safety evaluation of the plant. The crew reordered interviews with scientists and plants engineer. They talk mostly about Leningrad NPP safety and ecological problems in the region. The waste from the plant routinely pours into the Gulf of Finland. LNPP is causing serious ecological danger to the Baltic Sea and surroundings. We filmed in the town hospital, talked to doctors and scientists including Doctor Alexey Yablokov, former environmental advisor to Yeltsin, talks on nuclear power plant impact on environment, in particular on safety of Chernobyl NPP?s sarcophagus. He stressed that 9 million people still inhabit the areas contaminated by the Chernobyl catastrophe. Alexey Yablokov gives an interview in his office located in the Institute of palaeontology.

The design creates somewhat of an optical illusion making the steps seem bigger than their actual size. The stairs name was taken from the battleship Potemkin and was to be later memorialized in the famous film of that name by the Russian producer Sergei Eizenstein.

Anyone who witnesses an Orthodox liturgy for the first time will be struck by its frank appeal to the senses. The central actions of the Liturgy are the consecration and distribution of the bread and wine that constitute the Lord's Body and Blood. But the chanting and choral singing, the incense, the vestments and ritual movements of the priest and acolytes, and the images everywhere around are not mere embellishments. They are integral aspects of the whole liturgical "event". The outstanding achievement of the sacred arts of Orthodoxy lies in brilliant and creative response to the requirements of beauty. One becomes aware of God's presence through the senses, in the experience of "splendor" and "beauty." This documentary tells the story of how the art and architecture of the Orthodox Church came to maturity in the Christian Roman, or Byzantine, Empire and accompanied the faith to those countries that received their Christianity from Byzantium. Being filmed in many countries this fascinating story traces the development of national orthodox styles - Greek, Serbian, Russian, Bulgarian, Rumanian, Arabic. Camera inspects most sacred orthodox places around the world showing basic similarities and differences of a church in Syria or Greece, in Italy or Egypt, comparing a colorful tower of St. Basil Cathedral in Russia to the Church of the Holy Apostles in Greece.

The revolution occurred when Pavlov was 66 years old. He had already made many discoveries of world importance, he had gone through various stages of relations with the authorities and therefore he already saw what others could not see or could not understand. He did not agree with the revolution. During the first years of the Soviet power he wrote the following in a letter to the government: ? We are living in oppressive times. I want to tell you about sad things. In times of sorrow and grief people have no right to enjoy themselves. One should not deceive oneself when looking at what is going on.? In a chronicle of the 20s, at the background of destruction and children suffering from famine and cold, these were the words of Pavlov: ?All that is going on is an experiment. But it is a very expensive experiment that is destroying all the best and all the beauty of life. Have mercy on the Fatherland and on all of us.? All his life he acted according to his conscience. As the son of a priest, who studied at the seminar, he broke with the family traditions and started his studies at the university. He got interested in Russian populism and read a lot of books about democrats and materialists. After the declaration of F. Nietzsche that ?God is dead? and the answer to this by F. Dostoyevsky that ?Then everything is allowed?, Pavlov?s world outlook was defined. The more he advances in his investigations the clearer he sees the parallel that becomes obvious in the process of studying the reflexes of animals and the nervous life activities of men. Just like the animals, men are born with reflexes. The ability to think is what distinguishes him from an animal. If a person does not learn to think and is only able to submit himself to the common movement of the crowd, then he becomes part of this crowd which is marching and moving all by itself and turning into a herd. The new authorities tried very hard to attract him to be on their side. The chronicle shows Pavlov working in the laboratory. The voice of the announcer says: ?In the years of the Soviet power, he acquired a second youth.? But at that time his life was like hell. Together with his assistants he did not have enough to eat and the dogs were starving. The first Laureate of the Nobel Prize is obliged to ask for charity. And only at the beginning of the 30s a new scientific town was built in Koltushi. ?If only this happened earlier? he said. He is already an aged man now. He was dreaming to live on until the end of this ?experiment?, but did not make it. At his funeral he was given all the honours and afterwards his name would be used to smash scientific schools and to put into jail those scientists who thought differently.Health $amn; Medicine http://www.russianfootage.com/show/penguins_falkland/N20_000.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/N20/video/N20_000.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/N20/foto/N20_000.jpg Penguins Falkland Footage of wildlife heritage of the Falkland Islands.

His market reforms known as ?shock-therapy? were increasingly unpopular. Pictures depict a bloody and dramatic day in which armed groups of anti-Yeltsin insurgents lifted the siege of parliament (the White House in Moscow), sacked the mayor's office and launched an unsuccessful assault on the main television station. The rioters erected barriers in Moscow streets, near the White house (Russia's parliament building). Shots have been fired and several people injured after fights with security forces. Riot police used water cannons to disperse the crowds but were beaten back by a powerful and determined crowd of rioters. During those October days the two enraged branches of power continued shooting each other with attack rifles and tanks. The video contains views of Moscow streets during withdrawal of the blockade around White house. Recorded are Left-wing radicals under gunfire, giving first aid to wounded, scenes of a pro-communist riot near the White house.

This is a complete report about the evolution of architecture in Russia during the Stalinist period. It encompasses interviews with experts analyzing how the aesthetic choices of Stalin and his architects were conditioned by the prevailing cultural mechanisms of the 1930s and 1940s. No. 1 Kudrinskaya Square, one of seven tiered, neoclassic Stalin-era towers that define Moscow's skyline. When the massive tower was built in the early 1950s, there were four elegant food stores, or gastronomes -- for meat, fish, dairy products and bread -- at each of its corners. Modeled on a turn-of-the century Russian food shop in Moscow, they were resplendent with red and white inlaid marble, floor-to-ceiling windows, luminescent chandeliers and mighty central columns. The idea then was to create food "palaces" for the people. But by the time the Soviet Union collapsed at the end of 1991, it would have been hard to recall the original idea. Stalin skyscrapers include the imposing Moscow State University tower on the Lenin Hills; the aging but revived Ukraine Hotel overlooking the Russian parliament building; and the Foreign Ministry headquarters, near the Old Arbat, central Moscow's lively pedestrian street. Two of the buildings are hotels; two house government ministries; two are apartment houses; the seventh is Russia's most prestigious university. But the blend of old and new is common to all of them. White satellite dishes turned skyward are nestled among neoclassical statues and stone emblems of Soviet power. Combining rare archival footage, astonishing panoramic views of Moscow with close up views of Soviet symbols this report leads the audience through the remarkable trajectory of architectural and cultural transformation that marked a pivotal moment of Russia?s history.

Stalin was adored Abkhazia, he spent his holidays here every summer. It had the best climate and the highest living standards in the Soviet Union. Locating between the Caucasus Mountains and the sea, the 8,000 sq km territory is a place of warmth, abundance and beauty. They say that Stalin was paranoiac living here, he was wary of everything, he would get several, identical plates of food prepared. Only at the very last minute would he choose which to eat in case someone tried to slip some poison into his portion. "And at night we would all have to leave the dacha while Stalin decided which room to sleep in. We'd return, a guard outside each door, but we never knew which room he'd chosen. He didn't trust anybody", remembers one of the guards.

Every festival and holiday was celebrated by either ?red? or ?mellow? chime. On the belfry a group of sextons play from music a tune. The people of Maly Karely decided to restore the old Russian custom ? the bell chime. Local sextons visited Moscow and other places, met with old sextons to understand the main principles and take over their technique. To ring the bells is a kind of art. One must have very good hand-foot coordination. They were happy when they heard the first ring of the bell in silence. It sounded extremely beautiful and captivating. At the North bells used to be the only musical instruments and they were taken very seriously ? bells could be banished and their tongues could be torn out. People could be spoken to through the bells. The bell is ringing. People are standing by the belfry and listening to its sounds. During the Second World War in august 1941, Moscow ordered to take off and save the bells of Novgorod. Small bells were carried in the hands, the big ones ? buried in soil. Now they are standing on a pedestal. The newsreel shows the Rostov-city bells ringing 20 years ago. People applaud the sexton. They ask the chief sexton to play the ?Vesper chorus?. It was marvellous, sextons say. That sexton passed away long ago, the tune was not written down and sank down in oblivion. It appeared that not only the bells had to be saved, but the melodies also. In the mid 60-s a record was released called ?Rostov Bells?. This record fascinated the visitors of Montreal exhibition. But it cannot replace the live voice of the bell.Religion $amn; Social issues http://www.russianfootage.com/show/the_president_is_your_comrade/P82_1_000.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/P82_1/video/P82_1_000.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/P82_1/foto/P82_1_000.jpg The President Is Your Comrade Over the past few years Putin has become not just the most popular person in Russia, he has become a symbol. But we still know nothing of Putin, just as we knew nothing of him in 1999. Nonetheless, people do cast their votes for Putin. Why? ?Who is Mr. Putin?? Some believe he can make them young again. Others see a man who seeks to turn Russia into a great and developed nation. It was decided that the documentary would be released on the day Putin was sworn in for his second term in office. The film covers two stages of Russian history, before spring 2000 and thereafter. The first part focuses on Vladimir Putin?s course of life from the day of his graduation from university to his first inauguration. In the second part we recount what happened during Putin?s first term in office. This is not a history textbook but a collection of documents compiled in a certain order. The film presents different people many of whom, to put it mildly, are not in the least bit loyal to the incumbent president, such as Berezovsky, Dorenko, Zakayev, Kalugin? All those who appear in the film are unanimous in their recognition of Putin as the President of Russia, nobody doubts his legitimacy, his right to the post he occupies. Nobody says: ?He is bad.? All they do is they evaluate his actions, for which they have the right. Just as we do. Quite honestly, says that after the making of the film my opinion of him has much improved. Putin is no social order; there is a demand for him, and he satisfies that demand perfectly.History $amn; Events http://www.russianfootage.com/show/throat_singing,_tuva_hd1080p/T3S_9_22.jpg/0 http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/T3S_9/video/T3S_9_22.wmv http://www.russianfootage.com/albums/T3S_9/foto/T3S_9_22.jpg Throat singing, Tuva HD1080p Footage featuring a traditional style of throat singing in Tuva, a small autonomous republic within the Russian Federation. The history of throat singing, or khoomei (also spelled xoomei), reaches far back. Experts studying throat singing in these areas mark khoomei as an integral part in the ancient pastoral animism that is still practised today. Harmonics are universally present in all human voices and instrumental sounds. The animistic worldview of this region identifies the spirituality of objects in nature, not just in their shape or location, but in their sound as well. Thus, human mimicry of nature's sounds is seen as the root of throat singing. Preview clips contain AUDIO.

Development of the TU-95 intercontinental bomber began in the early 1950s. The Tu-95 was perhaps the most successful bomber produced by the Soviet aviation, enjoying long service in a variety of roles and configurations. It was the only bomber deployed by any country to use turbo-prop engines, which provided extraordinarily long endurance at speeds only slightly less than comparable turbojet-powered heavy bombers. The wings of the "95" were swept back at an angle of 35 degrees, allowing the placement of a large bomb bay behind of the torsion box of the wings' central unit at the aircraft's center of gravity.

Every match in which Bobrov played made it a spectacle worth watching. His quick thrusts and shots at the goal caused panic among the defencemen of the opposing team. He was really a one-man show... It was before the war that Vsevolod Bobrov started to play hockey, or rather its form called bandy, and he played for the team of the town of Sestroretsk. In 1944 he graduated from a supply officers' training school in Omsk and was sent to the front. He never reached it, however: arriving in Moscow, he was taken off the train and made a member of the Central Army Club hockey team. After the very first match in which he played Moscow's hockey fans talked about "the rise of a new star". And just a year later he was a leading player on the Central Army Club football team. Anatoly Tarasov says in his interview: Russian hockey history should start with Vsevolod Bobrov. It was very difficult for me because Vsevolod was so much more popular than me. More he could advance not only in hockey but in summer time during football match. Documentary encompass archive footage of football game in 1945 held in London. Here Borov was noticed by the British press and football fans and they all considered him the leader of the Russian team. Also there is archive footage of 1972-73, Bobrov is a coach of ?Spartak? hockey team. Stockholm. Video Ice hockey World Championship in 1954. Russian team played against Canadian team. Russian players had no protective ammunition. His sports career, however, was rather a short one: he played eight seasons in football and 13 in hockey. Repeated injuries put him out of action for months. In spite of that, the list of his records is very impressive. In the 1948 hockey season, for instance, Bobrov scored 52 goals in just 18 matches; also in 1948, playing against Moscow "Spartak", he scored eight goals, and in 1951, in a match with Leningrad "Dynamo", ten goals. Such achievements remain unmatched in the history of hockey anywhere ? at home and abroad. Interview with Anatoly Firsov, Soviet Hockey Team Player. Firsov tell us a story how he had chosen a stick based on some hockey trick he noticed while playing with Bobrov. Firsov says that before a score Bobrov used to tease a goalkeeper a little? Bobrov wife tells about family relationship and his positive personal values, his kindness to colleagues and people around. Vsevolod Bobrov is the only person in world history who was the captain of both the football and hockey Olympic teams. He led his hockey team to Olympic victory in 1956, world championship in 1954 and 1956, and European championship in 1954-1956. Many times he and his team won the national title and the USSR Cup in football, ice hockey and bandy. Journalists have often described him as a "sports genius". P.S.
