    Moscow Guide Neurolinguistics Laboratory 2016 How to get to Moscow from the airport There are two ways of getting from the airport to the city: taxi and train. Aeroexpress train We advise you to choose an aeroexpress train that goes to the metro station near to the center. This transport is faster and more reliable, especially during rush hours. Unfortunately, it is closed for several hours at night. You can buy tickets online at the website and at the airport at ticket machines or ticket office. You can also pay directly at the tourniquet with a Paypass or PayWave card (in this case you do not need to buy the tickets). For timetables, tickets and more information please see https://aeroexpress.ru/en.html Taxi We strongly advise you not to use the taxis that are offered at the airport, they are usually overpriced. The most convenient taxi services with mobile applications are Uber https://www.uber.com/ , Yandex Taxi https://taxi.yandex.ru/ , and Gett http://gett.com/ . If you are a first time Gett user, you can use a promocode GTPYNWK to get a 400rub bonus for your ride. All the services have special fixed tariffs for trips to and from airports. You can also prebook a taxi for a fixed airport-to-Moscow tariff. The prices range from 1500 to 2000r. The companies with websites in English are: https://mostaxi.ru/en/ , http://www.msk-taxi.ru/eng Getting around Except taxis (more information is given in the previous section) there are different types of public transport: underground transport called metro and surface transport (trams, buses, trolleybuses and marshrutkas).

Bread is served in various forms with any meal of the day. It is eaten as a snack, and used as an ingredient in other culinary preparations, such as sandwiches, and fried items coated in bread crumbs to prevent sticking. It forms the bland main component of bread pudding, as well as of stuffing designed to fill cavities or retain juices that otherwise might drip out. Bread has a social and emotional significance beyond its importance as nourishment. It plays essential roles in religious rituals and secular culture. Its prominence in daily life is reflected in language, where it appears in proverbs, colloquial expressions ("He stole the bread from my mouth"), in prayer ("Give us this day our daily bread") and in the etymology of words, such as "companion" (from Latin comes "with" + panis "bread"). 1.2 OBJECTIVE The Objective of this unit is to provide: 1.

  • Serving in the Presidential Regiment
    EURASIA Serving in the Presidential Regiment OE Watch Commentary: For visitors to Moscow, one of the more impressive sights is the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, located in the Alexander Garden adjacent to the Kremlin. Like honor guards in other countries, these uniformed sentries stand a silent watch over the memorial to those who paid the ultimate price in defending their country. In a recent interview in Russia’s main government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the new commander of the Presidential Kremlin Regiment, Major General Andrei Filyakin, describes the selection process, social background, and career prospects for soldiers assigned to this unit. The new commander points out that conscripts make up overwhelming majority of the servicemen in this regiment, and that they draw their new members from all over Russia. This regiment, however, is not a part of the Ministry of Defense, but belongs to the Federal Protective Service (FSO) [Федеральная служба охраны] which has the responsibility of guarding the Kremlin and several high-ranking officials. After describing the four-month training process to transform a conscript into “a ceremonial guard” capable of participating Honor Guard at the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Moscow. in a ceremony, the commander reviews the selection criteria. “Six months before the draft, Source: ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Пост_№_1#/media/Файл:Почетный_караул_у_Вечного_огня_на_ a candidate for our regiment, undergoes the necessary verification and interviews with могиле_Неизвестного_солдата_в_Москве.jp, CC BY-SA 4.0 the FSO, FSB [Federal Security Service] and officers of the regiment.” Prospective members must come from a stable family, be in excellent physical health, a solid academic record, and have no record of disciplinary problems.

  • The Fiftieth Anniversary of the October Revolution (1967) – a Generational Turnover and the Politics of Memory of the USSR*
    Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Ś rodkowo-Wschodniej ■ LII-SI(2) Bartłomiej Gajos Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding The Fiftieth Anniversary of the October Revolution (1967) – a Generational Turnover and the Politics of Memory of the USSR* Zarys treści: Obchody 50. rocznicy rewolucji październikowej zademonstrowały istotne zmiany polityki historycznej KPZS. Wydarzenia, które rozegrały się w Piotrogrodzie, i wokół których koncentrowała się pamięć społeczna przez ostatnie półwiecze, nie posiadały w latach sześćdzie- siątych tak silnego wymiaru symbolicznego, zdolnego mobilizować społeczeństwo do realizacji celów stawianych przez partię komunistyczną, takich jak Wielka Wojna Ojczyźniana. Rewolucja październikowa w chwili reaktywacji ofi cjalnego święta Dnia Zwycięstwa w 1965 r. zaczęła tracić swój centralny status w pamięci społecznej w Związku Sowieckim. Outline of content: Th e celebrations of the fi ft ieth anniversary of the October Revolution revealed signifi cant changes in politics of memory of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Th e events which took place in Petrograd and on which social memory had focused for last fi ft y years, did not have in the 1960s such a strong symbolic impact, being able to mobilise the people to achieve goals set by the Communist Party as the Great Patriotic War. From the time of reactivation of the offi cial celebrations of the Victory Day in 1965 the October Revolution began gradually to diminish in importance and lose its central place in collective memory of the Soviet people. Słowa kluczowe: rewolucja październikowa 1917, Leonid Breżniew, radziecka polityka historyczna, KPZS, Wielka Wojna Ojczyźniana Keywords: October Revolution 1917, Leonid Brezhnev, Soviet politics of history, Communist Part of the Soviet Union, Great Patriotic War * Th is article was fi nanced from the budgetary funds assigned for research in 2015–2019 within the framework of the Diamond Grant Programme (project ID: DI2014008844).
