TODAY IN HISTORY

Today is Monday, August 5, the 217th day of 2019. There are 148 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On August 5, 1962, actress Marilyn Monroe, 36, was found dead in her Los Angeles home; her death was ruled a probable suicide from “acute barbiturate poisoning”. On this date: In 1864, during the Civil War, Union Admiral David G. Farragut led his fleet to victory in the Battle of Mobile Bay, Alabama. In 1914, New Zealand enters the First World War. The news of the outbreak of war was received just before 1pm on August 5. At 3pm the Governor, Lord Liverpool, announced the news from the steps of Parliament to a large and enthusiastic crowd. In 1936, Jesse Owens of the United States won the 200-metre dash at the Berlin Olympics, collecting the third of his four gold medals. In 1953, Operation Big Switch began as remaining prisoners taken during the Korean War were exchanged at Panmunjom. In 1962, South African anti- apartheid activist Nelson Mandela was arrested on charges of leaving the country without a passport and inciting workers to strike; it was the beginning of 27 years of imprisonment. In 1964, US Navy pilot Everett Alvarez Jr. became the first American flier to be shot down Nixon’s resignation. sank during a storm. wounding about 15, including a Rock musician Eddie Ojeda is and captured by North Vietnam; In 1988, the Cartwright Report Ten years ago: Journalists Laura German general and two Afghan 64.

■■RUSSIA Russian tour guide’s tragic story

By Irina Titova AP t Petersberg, Russia’s second city, mixes ornate magnif- Sicence and cruel poverty. Vyacheslav Rasner straddles the extremes – becoming an unexpectedly popular tour guide after surviving a decade of homelessness. With his full white beard and head of messy hair, the 68-year-old Rasner looks like he could have stepped from one of Dostoevsky’s accounts of St Petersburg’s lower depths. But his erudition and affection for the city shine through. Each day, Rasner takes up his post outside the Admiralteiskaya subway station at 9am, noon and 3pm, waiting for clients who want him to lead them around part of the city’s main avenue, Nevsky Prospekt. Sometimes he gets as many as 30 people for a single tour. Rasner’s excursion mainly cov- ers the detailed histories of about 15 lesser-known buildings next to each other along the avenue. It’s a good education for visitors who have already seen the city’s more-renowned sights. But many tourists who join Rasner’s tours are mainly excited about his personal story. Alexander Kazhayev, 28, who travelled to St Petersburg from Penza, about 800km away, said he came to see the man whose trajectory has become well known to Russians via the internet. “I am proud of that man, who is already a legend now, because he is not begging with an outstretched hand but instead Vyacheslav Rasner, 68, waiting for clients who want him to lead them around some parts of St Petersberg’s Nevsky Prospekt main makes his living while sharing his avenue, as he has become an unexpectedly popular tour guide after surviving a decade of homelessness. valuable knowledge with other PHOTO AP people.
