Realm of the Volga - A River is Born | Full Nature Documentary
Essequibo: Hidden River | Extra Long Documentary: https://youtu.be/v_he1IRAw-0
The first episode of the Realm of the Volga Nature Documentary Series follows the course of the Volga from its many sources to where it starts to be the dominant force in the European part of Russia. Here, European bison, moose and wild bear live side by side with beavers, minks or otters. The still intact river habitats provide shelter for species that are virtually absent in Western Europe. The Russian Desman’s global distribution is restricted to the Volga basin. In slow-flowing side arms, these strange water moles hunt for insects and fish.

Russia's Secret German Community: The Volga Germans
#russian #german #kazakhstan
In the Eastern European nation of Russia, there exists an ethnic German minority known popularly as the Volga Germans. The Volga Germans primarily descend from German settlers and refugees from central Europe, who settled in southeastern Russia from as early as the 18th century. Smaller communities also exist in Central Asia, particularly in the modern-day nation of Kazakhstan. During the late 18th century, a large portion of southeastern Europe became a part of the Russian Empire, leading to the growth of the empire's size and prominence throughout the region. The empress of Russia at the time sought to develop the unoccupied land in these new territories and, in the year 1763, issued a manifesto inviting non-Jewish Europeans to immigrate and settle permanent...

The Ballad Of The Volga River Land
Lev Oshanin's voice - https://pitzmann.ru/oshanin2/volzhskaya.htm
The Russian text of the poem is below the audio track on the above web page.
1
Heavy dreams for the third year Natalia assail,
For the third year she's run off her feet -
Since her man took the war path that soldiers travail
Stomping in GI boots down the street.
2
On the fourth year a letter came her to torment.
The strange handwriting struck a bleak chord:
“Alexey Kovaliov, your spouse, was sent
To Saratov based hospital ward”.
3
She received an ID pass for her travel needs.
Filled with hope and at times with dismay,
With another bereaved soldier’s wife left the kids
To Saratov from there went away.
4
But Saratov is big, In a place so immense
How can one find one's only dear soul?
With the wounded war fighters the city is...

There are about eight dozen cities and towns along the banks of the great Russian river Volga. One of them is Kalyazin, which may not be among the largest places, but it has a very peculiar history.
Don't forget that this is 360 video: you can change the angle of view.
YouTube does not support 12K 360 video yet, so the video was down-sampled from 12K to 8K. But still you need an extraordinary computer power for watching 8K 360° videos.

#russian #german #kazakhstan
In the Eastern European nation of Russia, there exists an ethnic German minority known popularly as the Volga Germans. The Volga Germans primarily descend from German settlers and refugees from central Europe, who settled in southeastern Russia from as early as the 18th century. Smaller communities also exist in Central Asia, particularly in the modern-day nation of Kazakhstan. During the late 18th century, a large portion of southeastern Europe became a part of the Russian Empire, leading to the growth of the empire's size and prominence throughout the region. The empress of Russia at the time sought to develop the unoccupied land in these new territories and, in the year 1763, issued a manifesto inviting non-Jewish Europeans to immigrate and settle permanently in the area. Due to the conflicts and economic hardships that ravaged much of Central Europe in the 18th century, a large number of German refugees from modern-day Germany began immigrating to Russia and were granted farmland along the banks of the Volga river. Overtime, these German immigrants became referred to as the Volga Germans. During the late 19th century, the Russian Empire began pursuing a policy of "Russification", which saw increased pressure on ethnic minorities living in Russia to culturally assimilate into mainstream Russian society. Fearing the eradication of their German identity, many Volga Germans began immigrating to the Americas, particularly to the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina. A significant number of Volga Germans remained on Russian territory and soon began adopting the Russian language, Russian clothing, and Russian agricultural practices. During the Nazi invasion of Soviet Russia, the Volga Germans were labeled as potential Nazi collaborators by the Soviet administration, leading to mass deportations of the Volga German population to Central Asia and Siberia. These deportees were taken to forced labor camps and gulags, where over a million Volga Germans died due to harsh working conditions, starvation, and disease. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the year 1991, the vast majority of the Volga Germans began immigrating to Germany, however, a few still remained in Russia, particularly in Siberia and the Ural region. The Volga Germans have historically spoken varying dialects of the German language, depending on their historical area of origin in Germany, and their place of settlement in Russia. Due to their relative isolation from mainstream German communities for centuries, the dialects spoken by the Volga Germans closely resemble 18th-century German, but also include a few Russian loanwords. Today, the Volga Germans primarily speak the Russian language, however, a significant minority can still speak the German language fluently. Here is a short sample of a Volga German dialect being casually spoken. The Volga Germans are predominantly Protestant Christians, with many belonging to Lutheran or Mennonite denominations. A significant minority also adhere to Roman Catholicism or Russian Orthodox Christianity.The Volga Germans are known for their unique cuisine, which is mainly derived from traditional German cooking styles, but also includes notable influences from Russian cuisine. One popular example of Volga German cuisine is "Bierock", which is a savory pastry that consists primarily of bread, ground beef, onions, cabbage, pepper, and garlic.

Lev Oshanin's voice - https://pitzmann.ru/oshanin2/volzhskaya.htm
The Russian text of the poem is below the audio track on the above web page.
1
Heavy dreams for the third year Natalia assail,
For the third year she's run off her feet -
Since her man took the war path that soldiers travail
Stomping in GI boots down the street.
2
On the fourth year a letter came her to torment.
The strange handwriting struck a bleak chord:
“Alexey Kovaliov, your spouse, was sent
To Saratov based hospital ward”.
3
She received an ID pass for her travel needs.
Filled with hope and at times with dismay,
With another bereaved soldier’s wife left the kids
To Saratov from there went away.
4
But Saratov is big, In a place so immense
How can one find one's only dear soul?
With the wounded war fighters the city is dense.
Volga waters their troubles console.
5
Doctors lead her by carpeted foot trails at last
Through hallways which look chaste and austere.
Then Natalia hears, her heart beating fast:–
Alexey Kovaliov is right here. -
6
With affection and tenderness so much unspent
She would even a cripple embrace,
But the spectacle with which she had to contend
Made Natalia feel out of place.
7
To this man all her worries and thoughts did belong,
He was deft as a blacksmith and bard.
Was it him – without hands, without legs, looking wrong?
With a gray face, distorted and scarred.
8
Holding back was a strain, woeful, dazed, as if drunk,
She lunged forward, her hands to him drew.
With a heart wrenching cry to the floor she sunk:
— Liosha, answer me, please, is this you?! –
9
Fiery lights from his eyes is the only response.
Voiceless, handless – he utters a moan.
Looking stern to the medics Natalia turns:
— Get him ready, he is going home.
10
And although, wife, he isn’t the friend you knew once, -
In your home he’ll remain in esteem.
- Here’s your savior, - Natalia said to her sons,
- All you three make obeisance to him!
11
Every woman nearby wept and grieved for her sake.
The collective farm shared her cares.
But as always Natalia with sunrise would wake.
And no one ever noticed her tears.
12
Fresh baked pies from the oven breathe into the house.
Suddenly, as in those bygone years.
A man’s footsteps she hears her attention arouse,
Soldier’s boots clumping rush up the stairs.
13
And Natalia is watching, on the verge of collapse,
The way forward, his head slightly bent,
Alexei, her real husband, through the door steps
-With a wound dressing on his right hand.
14
— Didn’t expect me? — he says to his wife with a smile.
Glancing around as the man of the house,
Catches sight of two strange silent eyes in a while
And another man placed as the spouse.
15
Still, Natalia keeps watching, neither dead nor alive…
As he was, in the road dust gowned.
Having grasped it all, having no words to contrive,
To his wife he bowed low to the ground.
16
On the heart of gold nobody shall take revenge
With a true wife you settle no score.
He came by the war not ordinarily changed,
He came from not an ordinary war.
17
If you come to the Volga land – think of this tale,
Simply walk by that home on the hill,
Where across from the house mistress, without fail,
The two soldiers at lunch have their meal.

Acknowledgments:Tatiana Lvovna Uspenskaya-Oshanina, the poet’s elder daughter, currently residing in the U.S., for sharing with me her father’s poems.
David Reardon, David Birney, Andrew Farmer for some of the jolts as well as the lack thereof when reading my English translation of the poem and listening my recital of it
Olga Lenskaya for animation and spiritual support.
Oleg, the knight of the pencil, who vehemently refused to raise the vizor over his last name. I found the man via the Arbat street portrait artists and am particularly grateful to him for having ultimately succumbed to my outlandish claims about straying away from the Da Vinci’s Golden Ratio and populating the drawings with objects and symbols the original text of the poem had no reference to.
Oleg Kharchenko, Orange Studio Moscow for the sound recording and video editing - http://orangestudio.tilda.ws/ (temporary website).
My very special, heartfelt and affectionate ones to:Eleonora Belyaeva (1935-2015), my mom and dad’s friend and the 30 year long host of The Music Kiosk, the Soviet TV program, who set me on my life long English language journey.
Elijah Raytsin, Igor Sidorov, my elder brothers and all my extended bonny family over the ocean.
My grateful and respectful ones to:Bruce and Kathy Hamiltons, who shared with me the sorcery of the Russian into English metamorphosis.

- All you three make obeisance to him!
11
Every woman nearby wept and grieved for her sake.
The collective farm shared her cares.
But as always Natalia with sunrise would wake.
And no one ever noticed her tears.
12
Fresh baked pies from the oven breathe into the house.
Suddenly, as in those bygone years.
A man’s footsteps she hears her attention arouse,
Soldier’s boots clumping rush up the stairs.
13
And Natalia is watching, on the verge of collapse,
The way forward, his head slightly bent,
Alexei, her real husband, through the door steps
-With a wound dressing on his right hand.
14
— Didn’t expect me? — he says to his wife with a smile.
Glancing around as the man of the house,
Catches sight of two strange silent eyes in a while
And another man placed as the spouse.
15
Still, Natalia keeps watching, neither dead nor alive…
As he was, in the road dust gowned.
Having grasped it all, having no words to contrive,
To his wife he bowed low to the ground.
16
On the heart of gold nobody shall take revenge
With a true wife you settle no score.
He came by the war not ordinarily changed,
He came from not an ordinary war.
17
If you come to the Volga land – think of this tale,
Simply walk by that home on the hill,
Where across from the house mistress, without fail,
The two soldiers at lunch have their meal.

Acknowledgments:Tatiana Lvovna Uspenskaya-Oshanina, the poet’s elder daughter, currently residing in the U.S., for sharing with me her father’s poems.
David Reardon, David Birney, Andrew Farmer for some of the jolts as well as the lack thereof when reading my English translation of the poem and listening my recital of it
Olga Lenskaya for animation and spiritual support.
Oleg, the knight of the pencil, who vehemently refused to raise the vizor over his last name. I found the man via the Arbat street portrait artists and am particularly grateful to him for having ultimately succumbed to my outlandish claims about straying away from the Da Vinci’s Golden Ratio and populating the drawings with objects and symbols the original text of the poem had no reference to.
Oleg Kharchenko, Orange Studio Moscow for the sound recording and video editing - http://orangestudio.tilda.ws/ (temporary website).
My very special, heartfelt and affectionate ones to:Eleonora Belyaeva (1935-2015), my mom and dad’s friend and the 30 year long host of The Music Kiosk, the Soviet TV program, who set me on my life long English language journey.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Zaitsev (Jude Law) joins other Russian soldiers on a dangerous ferry ride to the battle-torn city of Stalingrad.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
A turning point in 20th century war history is the focus of this fact-based account of the 1942-1943 battle of Stalingrad, in which the Germans were finally defeated by Russian influence -- one of the bloodiest battles in World War II history. The film stars Jude Law as Vassili, a marksman from the Urals who is transported to Stalingrad in 1942, and a master German sniper, Major Koenig (Ed Harris). Koenig, an expert German sniper, is determined to eliminate his formidable opponent by any means necessary; meanwhile, Vassili has joined forces with Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), a young Russian political adversary, who is impressed by Vassili's skills and raises his profile in the Soviet Union. Both Vassili and Danilov become involved with Tanya (Rachel Weisz), whose Jewish parents have been captured by the Germans and have forced her to take up with the men on a sniper expedition. Koenig and Vassili begin to develop traps for each other, until fate inevitably must bring the two sharpshooters together. This large-scale production, financed mostly by Teuton companies, also features Bob Hoskins as Nikita Krushchev and Ron Perlman as an aging Russian sniper.

There are about eight dozen cities and towns along the banks of the great Russian river Volga. One of them is Kalyazin, which may not be among the largest places, but it has a very peculiar history.
Don't forget that this is 360 video: you can change the angle of view.
YouTube does not support 12K 360 video yet, so the video was down-sampled from 12K to 8K. But still you need an extraordinary computer power for watching 8K 360° videos.
Nowadays you need extraordinary computer power for watching 8K 360° videos. If you have troubles with watching such videos, choose 4K or HD quality in the settings of your YouTube player. We hope that YouTube will find a solution for optimization this videoformat to make it watchable for common users.
Also here is the answer for a frequently asked question about true resolution of an 8K 360° video. Unlike standard videos, in a 360° video you can see only a part of original image (approximately 30 degrees out of 360). As result, the real resolution of the part you can see isn't bigger than 1.3K.
