Today we will talk about three Russian composers of the past, without whom it is impossible to imagine classical music.

Alexander Scriabin (1872–1915) was born in a noble family. He studied at the cadet corps in youth, but a year before graduation he entered the Moscow Conservatory. Scriabin was a real innovator, he was the first who visualized a melody using color. Contemporaries described Alexander as a composer-philosopher. The peak of Scriabin's work was 1903-1908, when the Third Symphony, the "Tragic" and "Satanic" piano poems and the "Divine Poem" were released.

Сегодня мы расскажем о трех отечественных композиторах прошлого, без которых невозможно представить классическую музыку.

Александр Скрябин (1872–1915) родился в дворянской семье. В юности он учился в кадетском корпусе, но за год до его окончания поступил в Московскую консерваторию. Скрябин был настоящим новатором, он первым в мире визуализировал мелодию с помощью цвета. Современники называли Александра композитором-философом. Пиком творчества Скрябина стали 1903–1908 годы, когда вышли Третья симфония, «Трагическая» и «Сатаническая» фортепианные поэмы и «Божественная поэма».

Today we will talk about three Russian composers of the past, without whom it is impossible to imagine classical music.

Sergei Rachmaninov (1873–1943) was born in a family of musicians. In 1882 he entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory, six years later he continued his studies at the Moscow Conservatory. In his work, he managed to combine these two schools traditions, that is why he is often called "the most Russian composer". His style combined church songwriting, European romanticism, impressionism and neoclassicism. In the 1900s his best works were born: e.g. the Second Symphony and the poem "The Bells".

Music: Rachmaninov. The Bells.

Сергей Рахманинов (1873–1943) родился в семье музыкантов. В 1882 году он поступил в Петербургскую консерваторию, а через шесть лет продолжил обучение в Московской консерватории. В своем творчестве ему удалось объединить традиции двух этих школ, за что его часто называют «самым русским композитором». В его стиле объединились церковная песенность, европейский романтизм, импрессионизм и неоклассцизм. В 1900-х рождаются лучшие произведения, среди которых Вторая симфония и поэма «Колокола».

Fifteen symphonies of all Shostakovich works take a central place, they became the pinnacle of Soviet symphonic music. His music spread throughout the world and was performed by the best conductors on the planet despite the fact he practically did not travel outside the USSR.

Music: Shostakovoch. Symphony No. 7.

Творения Дмитрия Шостаковича (1906–1975) очень точно отражают человеческую драму и являются летописью событий 20-го века, где глубоко личное переплетается с трагедией человечества и судьбой страны.

Из обширного творчества Шостаковича пятнадцать симфоний занимают центральное место, они стали вершиной советской симфонической музыки.

Несмотря на то, что Шостакович практически не выезжал за пределы СССР, его музыка распространилась по всему миру и исполнялась лучшими дирижерами на планете.

Olim Shirinov is a photographer and musician from Tajikistan calling for an end to Russophobia: "My father is Tajik, my mother is Tatar. I was born in Soviet Tajikistan. In my family, we always spoke Russian language. Even now, me and my children speak and think in Russian language. And I find it absolutely unacceptable whatever is happening in the world right now. All I want to say - stop hating Russians."

Lake Elton is located in the Volgograd region. It impresses everyone who has ever been there with its beauty. The pink surface with a golden hue and the snow-white coast strewn with salt crystals fascinate and seem unearthly. People come here to escape from the daily routine, improve their health and breathe in plenty of tart steppe air.
Lake Elton is the Russian Dead Sea. Elton is replenished by several brackish rivers and bottom mineral springs. It is the largest salt lake in Europe, it has huge reserves of table salt, brine (water saturated with salt), as well as therapeutic mineral mud. The mineralization of brine is 350-400 g/l, which is 1.5 times more than the salinity of the Dead Sea waters. In spring, the lake is filled with meltwater and becomes bluish, in summer it becomes very shallow and acquires a pink tint.

The depth of the lake is no more than one and a half meters - up to 10 cm in summer, up to 1.5 m in spring, even in the most full-flowing months. Therefore, the ideal time to travel to the lake is spring or early autumn, when there is a much more comfortable weather for treatment.

Lake Elton legends explain us its current name. The peoples of the Mongolian ethnographic group called this place Altyn-Nor ("Golden bottom"). The fact is that the algae that has been living here for thousands of years and a variety of crayfish contain hematochrome, a pigment that “gives birth” to five shades of a warm range: from golden to pink.

Maryana Naumova, world champion in powerlifting, responds to Arnold Schwarzenegger's appeal to the Russian people.

Back in 2015, Maryana Naumova who lifted 150-kilograms in the United States, handed a letter from Donbass children to Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"In October and December 2014 Maryana visited schools and sports institutions in Donetsk and Luhansk where she held children's sports events and delivered humanitarian aid. In reply, Ukraine stripped Maryana of the sports awards and titles she had received in Ukraine, and put her and her coaches on the 'list of terrorists'," the spokesperson said.

Peoples of Russia: Kazakhs

The Kazakhs are one of the largest Turkic-speaking peoples. According to the 2010 All-Russian population census results almost 648 thousand ethnic Kazakhs live in Russia, or 0.45% of the Russia's total population, at the same time, Kazakhs are on top 10 main ethnic groups in Russia.

The Kazakhs have become one of the most interesting Turkic-speaking population descendants due to the unique culture which have many borrowings from other peoples.

The Kazakhs national dress reflects their ancient traditions associated with history, social, economic and climatic conditions. The skins of tigers and kulans were often used in its manufacture, as well as the fur of a desman, ermine, and sable. An important part of the national costume is a dressing gown – shapan. Bright color and gold embroidery have pointed out the person status. Under the dressing gown men wore shirts and pants, women wore loose-fitting dresses.

Kazakh cuisine is divided into traditional and modern. The Kazakh diet basis is meat dishes. Manti, which are prepared with the addition of meat and pumpkin, are very popular. Such food is filling and fat-saturated since the nomadic life conditions required eating heavily.
