🇷🇺 Russia has built a wintering complex in the coldest and most hard-to-reach place on Earth ❄️

A new wintering complex has been put into operation at Russia’s Vostok station in Central Antarctica. A modern facility with an area of about 3,000 square meters, equipped with everything necessary for the safe and comfortable work of polar explorers in extreme conditions, was erected in less than five years.

👥 Participants of the ongoing 70th Russian Antarctic expedition of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute will housewarm the new polar house. The station will be able to accommodate up to 35 scientists during the summer season and up to 15 people during winter.

🌌 Where to look for the famous bubble fields on Baikal

All tourists look for bubbles on Lake Baikal, because this is a very unusual and beautiful phenomenon. When methane gas rises from the bottom of the lake to the surface, it freezes along the way and turns into such white bubbles. Small bubbles should be looked for near the shore, and large bubbles are usually located further. There are two places where you can find them almost every year:

Bolshoe Goloustnoye - you can go there in one day. It's only 112 km from Irkutsk by car. The bubbles are beautiful, but be prepared for a lot of tourists.

On December 6, 1741, Elizabeth Petrovna came to power in Russia

The daughter of Peter the Great carried out a coup – she overthrew the young Tsar Ivan VI, whose regent was his mother Anna Leopoldovna.

The 18th century in Russian history is often called the ‘Era of Palace Coups’ (or ‘Battle of the Palaces’). Political groups fought fiercely among themselves and the elite part of the Russian army, the guard, provided them with force.

The guardsmen were not without their role in this case, either. The soldiers were irritated by the procedure for assigning ranks, the constant drill and the toughening of punishments. The last straw was Anna Leopoldovna’s order to send the guards regiments to war against Sweden.

Elizabeth Petrovna, on the contrary, had earned the trust and love of the guardsmen long before the coup. She always treated them with great attention, showered them with money and gifts.

Therefore, when she came to the barracks of the Life Guards Preobrazhensky Regiment on the evening of December 5 to lead the soldiers, they did not hesitate for a second – they immediately followed "mother".

The guards took the oath to the new empress and headed to the Winter Palace, where Ivan VI and his mother were arrested – they died in captivity.

Elizaveta Petrovna would go on to occupy the Russian throne for more than 20 years.

🥳 The Hermitage Museum is 260 years old!

The architectural ensemble of the State Hermitage includes the Winter Palace, the Small Hermitage, the Great Hermitage, the Hermitage Theatre and the New Hermitage. The complex was created over almost 100 years - from 1754 to 1851.

🖼 It began with a small collection of paintings by Dutch masters, which the empress acquired from a German merchant. By the end of the 18th century, the collection included paintings by Titian, Raphael, Rubens, as well as the only sculpture by Michelangelo in Russia - "The Crouching Boy".

In the Winter Palace, Catherine The Great ordered the construction of an extension - the Small Hermitage, where not only paintings were stored, but also closed dinners for close associates were held. At that time, the Hermitage became a place for discussing art, politics, and new ideas, and visitors were greeted by the sign:

"Leave all ranks outside the door."

➡️ The Hermitage remained home to the royal family until 1917. After the revolution, it became a national treasure, although its collection survived difficult times: exhibits were transferred to museums in the Union republics, and some masterpieces were sold abroad to replenish the state treasury. However, most of the collection was saved.
By the way, the Hermitage is guarded not only by people, but also by cats! The furry guards have lived here since the 18th century.

🤓 Interesting fact: if you spend just a minute on each exhibit in the Hermitage, it will take several years to examine it!

🥳 Эрмитажу 260 лет! Рассказываем подробнее про легендарный музей.

В архитектурный ансамбль Государственного Эрмитажа входят Зимний дворец, Малый Эрмитаж, Большой Эрмитаж, Театр Эрмитажа и Новый Эрмитаж. Комплекс создавался почти 100 лет — с 1754 по 1851 год.

🖼 Коллекция начиналась с небольшого собрания картин нидерландских мастеров, которое императрица приобрела у немецкого торговца. Уже к концу XVIII века коллекция включала полотна Тициана, Рафаэля, Рубенса, а также единственную в России скульптуру Микеланджело — «Скорчившегося мальчика».

В Зимнем дворце Екатерина распорядилась построить пристройку — Малый Эрмитаж, где не только хранились картины, но и проходили закрытые обеды для приближённых. В те времена Эрмитаж стал местом обсуждения искусства, политики и новых идей, а посетителей встречала надпись:

«Оставлять все чины вне дверей».

➡️ Эрмитаж оставался домом для царской семьи до 1917 года. После революции он стал народным достоянием, хотя его коллекция пережила сложные времена: экспонаты передавались в музеи союзных республик, а некоторые шедевры продавались за границу для пополнения государственной казны. Однако большую часть коллекции удалось сохранить.
Кстати, охраняют Эрмитаж не только люди, но и коты! Пушистые стражи живут здесь с XVIII века, им даже посвящен праздник, который отмечают в конце апреля или начале мая.

🤓 Интересный факт: если потратить всего минуту на каждый экспонат Эрмитажа, то на его осмотр уйдет несколько лет!

📍 There is really something to see in this small but cozy town. Let's tell about Yuryevets!

➡️ Bell Tower with the Church of St. George the Victorious

This five-tiered tower in the style of late classicism was built in 1840. It is decorated with columns, porticoes and topped with a rotunda with a thin spire. Inside there is a chapel, a church shop and a small exhibition, and services are held on weekends. If you climb the tower, you can see Yuryevets from 40 meters.

➡️ Asafov Islands

They are located 2-3 kilometers from Yuryevets. The islands were formed after the creation of the Gorky Reservoir and are considered one of the most beautiful places in the Ivanovo region. You can walk around them in about an hour, but you can also stay with a tent!

➡️ Andrei Tarkovsky's House-Museum

Despite the fact that the famous director was born in Zavrazhye, his house-museum is located in Yuryevets. During the Great Patriotic War he moved here with his family. In the museum you can see not only a movie room with Tarkovsky's films, but also a library with the poetry of his father Arseny. There is also the director's personal archive, which includes more than 30 cassettes, 10 disks, many photos, original scripts and letters.

📍 В этом маленьком, но уютном городке действительно есть, что посмотреть. Рассказываем про Юрьевец!

➡️ Колокольня с церковью Георгия Победоносца

Это пятиярусная башня в стиле позднего классицизма построена в 1840 году. Она украшена колоннами, портиками и увенчана ротондой с тонким шпилем. Внутри работают часовня, церковная лавка и небольшая выставка, а по выходным проходят службы. Если подняться на башню, можно увидеть Юрьевец с 40 метров.

➡️ Асафовы острова

Они находятся в 2-3 километрах от Юрьевца. Острова образовались после создания Горьковского водохранилища и считаются одним из самых красивых мест Ивановской области. Обойти их можно примерно за час, но можно и остаться с палаткой!

➡️ Дом-музей Андрея Тарковского

Несмотря на то, что знаменитый режиссер родился в Завражье, его дом-музей располагается в Юрьевце. Во время Великой Отечественной войны он переехал сюда с семьей. В музее можно увидеть не только кинозал с фильмами Тарковского, но и библиотеку с поэзией его отца Арсения. Также здесь находится личный архив режиссёра, который включает более 30 кассет, 10 дисков, множество фотографий, оригиналы сценариев и письма.
