Pskov

Coat of Arms



Wikipedia

Pskov (Russian: Псков, ancient Russian spelling Пльсковъ Pleskov), in Estonian Pihkva, is an ancient city located in the north-west of Russia about 20 km east from the Estonian border, on the Velikaya River. The city of Pskov serves as the administrative center of Pskov Oblast. Population: 202,780 (2002 Census);[1] 203,789 (1989 Census).[2]


Early history
The name of the city, originally spelled "Pleskov", may be loosely translated as "the town of purling waters". Its earliest mention comes in 903, which records that Igor of Kiev married a local lady, St. Olga. Pskovians sometimes take this year as the city's foundation date, and in 2003 a great jubilee took place to celebrate Pskov's 1,100th anniversary.

The first prince of Pskov was St. Vladimir's younger son Sudislav. Once imprisoned by his brother Yaroslav, he wasn't released until the latter's death several decades later. In the 12th century and 13th centuries, the town adhered politically to the Novgorod Republic. In 1241, it was taken by the Teutonic knights, but Alexander Nevsky liberated it several months later during a legendary campaign dramatized in Sergei Eisenstein's 1938 movie.

In order to secure their independence from the knights, the Pskovians elected a converted Lithuanian prince, named Daumantas (known in Russian as Dovmont), as their military leader and prince in 1266. Having fortified the town, Daumantas routed the knights at Rakovor and overran much of Estonia. His remains and sword are preserved in the local kremlin, and the core of the citadel, erected by him, still bears the name of "Dovmont's town".

Pskov Republic

By the 14th century, the town functioned as the capital of a de-facto sovereign republic. Its most powerful force was the merchants who brought the town into the Hanseatic league. Pskov's independence was formally recognized by Novgorod in 1348. Several years later, the veche promulgated a law code (called the Pskov Charter) which was one of the principal sources of the all-Russian law code issued in 1497.

For Russia, the Pskov Republic was a bridge towards Europe. For Europe, it was a western outpost of Russia and subject of numerous attacks throughout the history. Unbelievably, the kremlin (called by Pskovians the Krom) withstood 26 sieges in the 15th century alone. At one point, five stone walls ringed it, making the city practically impregnable. A local school of icon-painting flourished, and local masons were considered the best in Russia. Many peculiar features of Russian architecture were first introduced in Pskov.

Finally, in 1510, the city fell to Muscovite forces. The deportation of noble families to Moscow is a subject of Rimsky-Korsakov's opera Pskovityanka (1872). As the second largest city of Muscovy, Pskov still attracted enemy armies. Most famously, it withstood a prolonged siege by 50,000-strong Polish army during the final stage of the Livonian War (1581–1582). The king of Poland Stefan Batory undertook some 31 attacks to storm the city, which was defended mainly by civilians. Even after one of the city walls was broken, the Pskovians managed to fill the gap and repel the attack. "It's amazing how the city reminds me of Paris", wrote one of the Frenchmen present at Batory's siege.

Modern history
Peter the Great's conquest of Estonia and Latvia in the early 18th century spelled the end of Pskov's traditional role as a vital border fortress and a key to Russia's interior. As a consequence, the city's importance and well-being declined dramatically, although it has served as a capital of separate government since 1777. It was here that the last Russian tsar abdicated in March 1917.

During World War I, Pskov became the center of much activity behind the lines, and after the Russo-German Brest-Litovsk Peace Conference (December 22, 1917–March 3, 1918), in the winter of 1917–1918, the Imperial German Army invaded the area. Pskov also occupied by Estonian army between February 1919-July 1919 during Estonian War of Independence.

The medieval citadel provided little protection against modern artillery, and during World War II Pskov suffered substantial damage during the German occupation from July 9, 1941 until July 23, 1944. Many ancient buildings, particularly churches, suffered destruction before the Wehrmacht could occupy the city. Though a huge portion of the population died during the war, Pskov has since struggled to regain its traditional position as a major industrial and cultural centre of Western Russia.

Landmarks and sights
Pskov still preserves much of its medieval walls, built from the 13th century on. The Krom, or medieval citadel, looks as impressive as ever. Within its walls rises the 256-foot-tall Trinity Cathedral, founded in 1138 and rebuilt in the 1690s. The cathedral contains the tombs of saint princes Vsevolod (died in 1138) and Dovmont (died in 1299). Other ancient cathedrals adorn the Mirozhsky abbey (completed by 1152), St. John's (completed by 1243), and the Snetogorsky monastery (built in 1310 and painted in 1313).

Pskov is exceedingly rich in tiny, squat, picturesque churches, dating mainly from the 15th and the 16th centuries. There are many dozens of them, the most notable being St. Basil's on the Hill (1413), St. Kozma and Demian's near the Bridge (1463), St. George's from the Downhill (1494), Assumption from the Ferryside (1444, 1521), and St. Nicholas' from Usokha (1536). The 17th-century residential architecture is represented by merchant mansions, such as the Salt House, the Pogankin chambers, and the Trubinsky mansion.

Among the sights in the vicinity of Pskov are Izborsk, a seat of Rurik's brother in the 9th century and one of the most formidable fortresses of medieval Russia; the Pskov Monastery of the Caves, the oldest continually functioning monastery in Russia and a magnet for pilgrims from all over the country; the 16th-century Krypetsky Monastery; Elizarovo Monastery, which used to be a great cultural and literary centre of medieval Russia; and Mikhailovskoe, a family nest of Alexander Pushkin where he wrote some of the best known lines in the Russian language. The national poet of Russia is buried in the ancient cloister at the Holy Mountains nearby. Unfortunately, the area presently has only a very minimal tourist infrastructure, and the historic core of Pskov requires serious investments to realize its great tourist potential.

Vyborg - photo by flatron

the original thread with comments in Russian

Wikipedia article

Vyborg (Russian: Вы́борг; Finnish: Viipuri; Swedish: Viborg; German: Wiborg) is a town in Leningrad Oblast, Russia, situated on the Karelian Isthmus near the head of the Bay of Vyborg, 130 km to the northwest of St. Petersburg, 38 km south from Russia's border with Finland, where the Saimaa Canal enters the Gulf of Finland. Population: 79,224 (2002 Census); 80,924 (1989 Census).

[edit] History
See also: Fief of Viborg
The area where Vyborg is located used to be a trading center on the River Vuoksi's western branch, which has dried up. The area was inhabited by the Karelians, a Finnish tribe which gradually came under the domination of Novgorod and Sweden.

According to Russian archaeologist V. Tyulenev, a wooden Karelian fort was already in existence there during the 11th and 12th centuries.[citation needed]

The first castle of Vyborg was founded during the so-called "Third Swedish Crusade" in 1293 by marshal Torkel Knutsson. The castle was fought over for decades between Sweden and the Republic of Novgorod. By the Treaty of Nöteborg in 1323, Viborg was finally recognized as a part of Sweden. It withstood a prolonged siege by Daniil Shchenya during the Russo–Swedish War of 1496–1499.

The town's trade privileges were chartered by King Eric of Pomerania in 1403.

Under Swedish rule, Vyborg was closely associated with the noble family of Bååt, originally from Småland. The late-medieval commanders and fief holders of Vyborg were (almost always) descended from or married to the Bååt Family; in practice they functioned as Margraves (though not having this as their formal title), having feudal privileges and keeping all the crown's incomes from the fief to use for the defense of the realm's eastern border.

Viborg remained in Swedish hands until its capture by Peter the Great in the Great Northern War (1710). The Treaty of Nystad (1721), which concluded the war, assigned the town and a part of Old Finland to Russia.

One of the largest naval battles in history, the Battle of Vyborg Bay, was fought off shore in the Viipuri Bay on July 4, 1790.

After the rest of Finland was ceded to Russia in 1809, Alexander I of Russia incorporated the town and its province into the newly-created Grand Duchy of Finland in 1812.

In the course of the 19th century, the town developed as the center of administration and trade for the eastern part of Finland. The inauguration of the Saimaa Canal in 1856 benefited the local economy as it opened the vast waterways of Eastern Finland to the sea. Viipuri was never a major industrial center, and lacked large production facilities, but due to its location it served as a focal point of transports of all industries on the Karelian Isthmus, Ladoga Karelia and South-Eastern Finland.

Following the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the fall of the Russian Empire, Finland declared itself independent. During the Finnish Civil War Viipuri was in the hands of the Reds until it was captured by the Whites on 29 April 1918.

In the inter-war decades, the town, then officially known as Viipuri, was the second biggest city in Finland and center of Viipuri province. In 1939 Viipuri had some 80,000 inhabitants, including sizable minorities of Swedes, Germans, Russians, Gypsies, Tatars and Jews. During this time, Alvar Aalto built a masterpiece of modernist architecture — the Viipuri Library.

During the Winter War, more than 70,000 people were evacuated from Viipuri to western Finland. The Winter War was concluded by the Peace of Moscow, which stipulated the transfer of Viipuri and the whole Karelian Isthmus – emptied of their residents – to Soviet sovereignty, where it was incorporated in to the Karelo Finnish SSR on March 31, 1940. As the town was still held by the Finns, the remaining Finnish population, some 10,000 people, had to be evacuated in haste before the handover. Thus, practically the whole population of Finnish Viipuri was resettled elsewhere in Finland.

The evacuees from Finnish Karelia came to be a vociferous political force and their wish to return to their homes was an important motive when Finland sought support from Germany against the Soviet threat. As a result, Finland and Germany fought on the same side in the Continuation War.

On August 29, 1941, Viipuri was recaptured by Finnish troops and, soon after, the Government of Finland formally annexed it along with the other areas lost in the Moscow Peace Treaty. At first the Finnish Army did not allow civilians into the town. Of the 6,287 buildings, 3,807 had been destroyed. The first civilians started to arrive at the end of September and by the end of the year Viipuri had a population of about 9,700. By 1942, it had risen to 16,000. About 70% of the evacuees from Finnish Karelia returned after the re-conquest to rebuild their looted homes, but were again evacuated after the Red Army's Fourth strategic offensive, timed to coincide with the Battle of Normandy. By the time of the Soviet offensive, the town had a population of nearly 28,000. The town was evacuated by June 19 and the defence of Viipuri was entrusted to the 20th Brigade. The town fell to the Red Army on 20 June 1944, but the Finns managed to halt the Soviet offensive at the Battle of Tali-Ihantala, the largest battle fought by any of the Nordic countries, in Viipuri rural municipality which surrounded the city.

In the subsequent Moscow Armistice of September 19, 1944, Finland returned to the borders set by the Moscow Peace treaty and ceded more land than the treaty originally demanded. In the Paris Peace treaties (1947), Finland relinquished all claims to Viipuri.

After the Winter War, Leningrad had wanted to incorporate the area of Viipuri, but it took until September 1944 for it to be finally transferred from the Karelo-Finnish SSR to Leningrad Oblast, and the name of the town was changed to Vyborg. During the Soviet era, the town was settled by people from all over the Soviet Union. The naval air bases of Pribilovo and Veshchevo were built nearby.

Novosibirsk Total Solar Eclipse Aug 1st 2008

photo by Fog

1 августа 2008 г. День полного солнечного затмения.

Новосибирск, 6:00 утра. Небо пока не радует ясностью.


8 часов. Набережная Оби. Здесь будет развернута самая большая смотровая площадка. Обещают больше 30 телескопов. Пока вокруг тишина, только копошатся телевизионщики неподалеку, расставляя свое оборудование. Отсюда хороший вид на левобережье Новосибирска.


А вокруг тишина... Ничего не предвещает "конца света"


9 часов. Город потихоньку просыпается. Небо стало чище, хотя дымка есть.


10 часов. Погода постоянно меняется.


С длинными сочными гудками по городу пронесся раритетный паровоз.



11 часов. Добежал до интернета. Посмотрел в погоду - надежда на ясное небо есть! Продолжение следует.


P.S. Добавляйте свои фотки!

Продолжение. 12 часов дня, Новосибирск.

Город живет приближающимся затмением.
По улицам стоят рекламные щиты с обозначением площадок с телескопами.


Повсеместно встречаются иностранцы и промоутеры в майках "затмение".


Место действия - у кинотеатра Маяковского. Апокалиптично


Почти каждый второй человек в центре сегодня с фотоаппаратом. Вдали - самая высокая наблюдательная точка, на крыше БЦ "Кобра". По крайней мере, так было заявлено в рекламе.


Подсутетившиеся студенты зарабатывают по 50 рублей на одноразовых очках из засвеченной пленки.


Площадь Ленина. Набежали облака.


Туристам все можно


Вот так сегодня целый день - они нас фотографируют..


А мы их :lol:


Перед Оперным театром (это одна из наблюдательных точек) развернут палаточный сувенирный ряд.




Спик инглиш? Йес, ай спик...


Каждый готовится к встрече двух светил по-своему...


"а еще у нас затмение бывает" :baeh3:


13 часов. Погода портится

Новосибирск. 14 часов. Облачно.


UPDATE: Синоптики предупреждают, что погода может испортиться.
До затмения осталось 3 часа 20 минут.


Последняя порция городских фоток перед затмением.

Площадка у театра Глобус. Поднялся сильный ветер.










Улица Кирова


На Красном Проспекте





Солнце то видно, то не видно. На небе полно облаков.


16 часов. "Танцуют все!"



17 часов. До полной фазы затмения осталось около 40 минут. Окончание выложу вечером Я убежал доснимать событие. Уже темнеет!

Novosibirsk Eclipse by AirPlaY

Сегодня в Новосибирске можно было наблюдать затмение, чем я не примянул воспользоваться и еще за 2 часа до его начала вышел на прогулку по центру.

Повсюду встречались промоутеры с очками. Думаю, их мог купить любой, кто этого хотел...




Два часа до затмения. Все спешат увидеть природное чудо...




И социальный статус тут не имеет никакого значения...




Промоутеры.. очки... очки... промоутеры...




Все живо обсуждали предстоящее событие.




Народ везде тусовался и все были в прекрасном расположении духа... Настроение было у всех отличное, город благодаря этому несказанно преобразился. Повсюду звучала иностранная речь.






Кто то в нервном ожидании не мог даже шарики в руках удержать...




Сфера услуг не могла не воспользоваться этим событием...




Для туристов организовали торговлю национальными сувенирами...




Маек по теме было неисчислимое кол-во вариантов...




Еще торговля...








Народ всюду гулял, словно день был не будним, а выходным... Чувствовалось нарастающее ожидание предстоящего события.












У немецкого консульства укладывают прикольную плитку с объемным эффектом...




Еще город, горожане и гости города...




















Кому затмение, а кому свадьба...

На память о событии на моем холодильнике теперь висит один из таких магнитиков...




Нередко встречались съемочные группы.




Один из экранов, на которых транслировалось затмение.




Полчаса до "заката"...




Наша компания наблюдала затмения с летней террасы на крыше кафе "Перчини".




К меню бесплатно прилагались очки для просмотра затмения.




На террасе было установлено 4 телескопа. Помимо этого специалисты объяснили, что происходит (например, что неровности окружности луны на фоне солнце - это кратеры и горы), и что нужно будет посмотреть на парад планет...




К началу затмения в центре было не протолкнуться...








Этапы затмения через телескоп и вживую...


















В момент затмения центр погрузился в радостный рев. Народ просто обезумел. Но было от чего. Как только луна полностью закрыла солнце стало темно. Абсолютно чистое небо покрылось звездами, корона солнца стала видна невооруженным глазом, а чуть ниже вдоль горизонта яркими точками выстроились Венера, Марс и Меркурий, которые также было видно без каких-либо оптических приборов.
После двух минут центр вновь взревел... Все друг другу улыбались, разговаривали, делились впечатлениями.



Через полчаса после полной фазы продолжились все увеселительные мероприятия, как ни в чем и не бывало...




Народ просто отдыхал, люди радовались увиденному, атмосфера царила просто потрясная!!














Итог: снято несколько сотен кадров, получены незабываемые впечатления, город погрузился в атмосферу ожидания чуда, в период затмения небо было абсолютно безоблачным, Новосибирск посетило множество туристов.

Не знаю как на счет столицы затмения, но Новосибирск сегодня точно был столицей прекрасного настроения и доброжелательности...

Господи, как я рад, что живу в НОВОСИБИРСКЕ!!!

ЗЫ. ЯГУДИНА НА МЫЛО!!!

Как это было

Затмение в Новосибирске, часть последняя.

17 часов. Место действия - набережная Оби.












Народ как следует подготовился к событию. Кто как смог













И, конечно же, те самые "38 телескопов"









За всеми нами приглядывал "большой брат" телевидения.


Чем ближе к затмению, тем становилось темнее. Глаз этого почти не ощущал, а выдержки на фотоаппарате все удлиннялись. Потом он вообще отказался снимать без вспышки. Тени на асфальте изогнулись причудливыми серпами.




Потом как-то сразу стало темно. Совсем, как будто выключили солнце.





Фантастика... Такое, пожалуй, раз в жизни случается увидеть своими глазами.



Первый луч света.


18 часов. Счастливый народ еще разок поглядел на небо и пошел по своим делам.








"уууу, и чегой-то я наснимала-то"..


ВСЁ!

Interesting how a natural phenomena became a grand civic event in Novosibirsk. Obviously well-publicized, and gave people a chance to get out and enjoy the fine weather in a festive atmosphere.

Nice work.
