Wonderful Live Video from Novosibirsk
20 Years
Infra Red - Novosibirsk
Hello wonderful people!! Let's walk through another
Russian city today. I have never been there as well as you, so I am interested
in learning something new with you my dear friends!
Today's city is called Omsk, it is located in the
West-Siberian part of Russia. At the intersection of the Om River and Irtysh
River. Today Omsk is a transport, industrial and administrative center of the
Omsk region.
It was founded in 1716 with building a small wooden fort
with the only purpose to defend Russian eastern borders along the Irtysh and
the Ishim rivers.
In 1890, with constructing of the Trans-Siberian Railway,
the city began to grow quickly and received the official status of of West
Siberian and Steppe (Kazakhstan) capital. In 1910, Omsk was the home to Siberian
Exposition of Agriculture and Industry. After the exposition, the city received
the nickname "Siberian Chicago".After the establishing of Soviet
power, Novosibirsk was chosen to be the capital of Western Siberia.
Here you can find more information about history of the
city Omsk: http://www.admomsk.ru/web/en/city/history
The first stop we make is Omsk Fortress.
The fortress is the historical heart of Omsk.
According to the edict of the tsar Peter the Great and
his deputy in Siberia prince Gagarin, pioneers erected here the fortification
to guard the south Russian borders.Thus was founded the town, which in our days became the
largest industrial and culturalcenter of Siberia. No trace was left of wooden fortress — primogenitor of
the town. But the ancient stone houses and the entrance fortress gates on the right bank
of river Om, where it flows into the Irtish, still keep the voices of the remote past.
Right here in 1760's when the wooden buildings of the first Omsk fortress became dilapidated,
a new fortification was founded, this
time built of stone.
The Cathedral of the Assumption is considered a unique
historical monument and one of the major curiosities of Russia. It is one of
the largest churches in Siberia. Its fanciful design of many shapes and colours
utilizes a plethora of elements from the Russian and Byzantine medieval
architectural vocabulary. The main square of Omsk takes its name from the
cathedral.
To my mind this
city is quite boring. It can be interesting only because of architecture.
The buildings themselves.
Yes, the Russian history was made here. But to understand
the Russian history you should immerse in this learning very strong from the
very beginning.
Here I want to present you a small part of one Russian poem. These words belong to a
known poet F.I. Tuytchev:
"Russia can't be understood with the
mind
Or measured with a standard/common yardstick,
She has a peculiar character –
In Russia, one can only believe"
- it's not original, the translation into English I have
taken from the Internet.

| Placebo Flashmop in Omsk
Theatres of Omsk and The Organ hall.
It’s believed to be one of the best in Russia. Having perfect acoustic characteristics, it attracts many outstanding organists and the best chamber groups from all over the world.
The oldest theater of Omsk and Russia as a whole is
considered Omsk Academic drama theater was set up in 1874. In repertoire of the
theater are the classic and modern plays. The architecture is really unique!!
Just look at a sculpture of Winged Genius with which the pediment is decorated.
|
There are more cultural places in Omsk such as Puppet Theatre, Omsk Lyceum Theatre, Omsk Philharmonic and Music theatre.
Here you can read about them:
One absolutly lovely place you should visit in Omsk - monument to Luba.
This touching and unique monument is dedicated to womanwho was the wife of the governor of Western Siberia Gasforda G. H.
If you ask inhabitants of Omsk - who this mysterious Lubaso sadly looking somewhere afar, and wearily sat down to have a rest on a bench- nobody will give unambiguously right answer.
After all years a monument to Luba keeps in itself manysecrets and questions and has some versions of an origin.Monument to Lube solemnly established on crossing of streets of Lenin and Libknekht in 1999. Luba lived in Omsk about a year - but memory of it lives more than one and a half centuries.
On the facts, Lubov Fiodorovna died of a consumption atabsolutely young age of 23. The prospectus and grove in the city where she liked to walk is called her name. On a bench we see the touching and fragile
young girl...
Here you can read more about lovely Luba:
One more notable thing in Omsk is brass sculpture of a in a manhole. The funny one, "Stepan the Plumper"

| Selfportait - "Demon" 1890 - "Hamelt & Ofelia" 1888 |
I have to mention one outstanding person in Russian history and of course Omsk history. It is Mikhail
Vrubel - a great Russian artist who was born in Omsk

Placebo Anyway
We begin with the symbols.
 |
| The flag and embleme of Novosibirsk |
At first some words about geography and history of this
city:
Novosibirsk is situated in southeast of the West Siberian
Pale on the banks of the Ob River. Novosibirsk symbolizes Siberia - its
richness & its vast expanses.
Novosibirsk is the 3rd largest city in Russia after St
Petersburg &Moscow by population and by area. The city is divided into 10
administrative districts, two of which are situated on the left and eight on
the right bank of the Ob River.
Honestly? It's a very boring city!! Really.
So don't expect much.
In Russia there are a lot of boring cities. this is one
of them.
But we will do our best to intrigue you!!
Novosibirsk was founded in 1893 as Novonikolayevsk (after
the Russian Empire Tsar Nicholas II and Saint Nicholas). At first
Novonikolayevsk was a settlement where the bridge over the Ob River was planned
to build during the construction of Trans-Siberian Railway.
In 1897, the building of the bridge was finished. Thus
this town became the most important transport junction of the region.
Later, in the beginning of the 20th century, the town
became even more important with building Turkestan-Siberia Railway connecting
Siberia with Central Asia and Caspian Sea regions.
In the begining of the 20th century Novonikolayevsk was the
largest industrial center of Siberia.
In 1926, the city received its current name - Novosibirsk.
It means “New City in Siberia”.
We can see that Novosibirsk is a very very young city,
that is why we shouldn't expect lots of historic monuments, buildings and
places.
Today this city is the heart of Siberia and modern
scientific center of the whole country. It is considered to be the center of
enterprise, industry, financial bank activities, wholesale trade, tourism
and culture.
If you like all the new, up-to-date and promptly developing
then it's the right place for you.
We will start with the Novosibirsk metro.
It was opened in 1985 and consist of 13 stations on two
lines. There is also a surface level
station which follows a 2' 145 km covered bridge span of the Ob River. The
longest metrobridge in the world.
One of the coolest stations in Novosibirsk underground is
"Gagarinskaya". It was reconstructed in 2011 for the Cosmonautics Day & 50 anniversary of flight of
Yry Gagarin in space.
( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin )
So let's walk in Novosibirsk and see what here is!!
The next point is Novosibirsk Main rail station. It is
the passenger railway station for the city of Novosibirsk in Russia, and an
important stop along the Trans-Siberian Railway. The station is one of the
largest in Russia. It is decorated in form of engine.
Novosibirsky museum of rail technician of name of N.A.
Akulinin. There is enormous collection of engines, locomotives, electric
locomotives, the cars generally working at the railroads of Western Siberia.
I think there's one place that is worth to see or maybe
visit, better to say enter, in Novosibirsk.
It is St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. The cathedral was
erected in the end of the 19th century in honor of a great Russian commander,
defender of Russian lands, prince (in Russian "knyaz" -
"князь") Alexander Nevsky.
It is located on the main street of Novosibirsk — Krasny
Avenue (earlier Nikolaev). The cathedral is the first stone temple of the city
and one of the first stone buildings of Novosibirsk, before named
Novonikolayevsk.
 |
| St Prince Alexander Nevesky, painted by Pavel Corin |
One more place you should visit is Novosibirsky State
Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre that located on the main square in
Novosibirsk, called The Lenin Square
Novosibirsky Opera and Ballet Theatre was built as House
of science & culture.
It was opened on the 12th of May of 1945. That day the
very first performance was played - M. Glinka's opera "Ivan Susanin".
It is the largest theatre in Novosibirsk and Siberia and one of the most
technically advanced theaters in Russia. There are three floors in theatre:
its main floor features ticket offices and vestibule; on
the second floor and the third floor there is a concert hall with adjoining
‘wings’ featuring rehearsal halls, administrative rooms, wardrobes and theater
set departments.
The total area of the building is 11,837 m², the volume
is 294,340 m³. The theatre is often called “Siberian Coliseum” for its size and
beauty.
( http://www.opera-novosibirsk.ru/index.php?locale=en_us)
If you are interested in cultural heritage of the Novosibirsk
region (Haha - I am sorry) Maybe you
are really interested, then you should visit Novosibirsk State Museum of Local
History and Nature! It consists of three buildings.
There a lot of different artefacts there, as the museum
fund contains 215 thousands things!
It was founded in 1920 by biologist V. A. Anzimirov - in
1919 he created the Novonikolayevsk museum section with which museum began.
Unfortunately museum is temporary closed for
reconstruction.
( http://www.russianmuseums.info/M1046
http://museum.nsk.ru )
The next place in our sightseeing list is the scientific
city Akademgorodok (30km from
Novosibirsk), where you will visit the famous Geology Museum at Geology Research Institute, Open-Air Train Museum (a collection of the old Trans-Siberian
trains), and the Ob reservoir.
The translation of Academgorodok is “Academic Town” - in
Russian "Academichesky gorod".
It was founded during the Cold War near Novosibirsk as the Soviet Union’s
largest scientific center to the east of the Ural Mountains.
At that time the Soviet Government tried to create
ideal living and working conditions for scientists – akademgorodok is built in
the forest bordered by a botanical garden and the Ob reservoir where one bank
was turned into an artificial beach and has everything you need to relax
(native dwellers call it “the Ob sea”), and a great number of research
institutes are situated here. Academgorodok is also the center of student life
– Novosibirsk State University and
the university campus with all the university facilities are located on
Pirogova Street.
Nowadays, the situation is slowly changing and
Akademgorodok is gradually turning into an elite
residential area. Perhaps it’ isn't such a bad thing – such transformations
bring the benefits of comfortable living to the great scientific environment
and beautiful nature.
Don't forget to visit the Central Siberian Botanical
Garden in Akademgorodok! Was founded in 1946. CSBG is a center of integration
of botanical and ecological research in Siberia, also the scientists are membes
of Botanic Gardens Conservation International.They take part in different joint
projects with the USA, Italy, Finland, Canada, Sweden, China and other
countries.
http://www-sbras.nsc.ru/sbras/akadem/objects/index1.html
"But it's a perfect place to start"...If you a scientist!
More than 70 patents on the inventions and cultivars of
food, medicinal and ornamental plants have been obtained by the specialists of
CSBG.
A number of collections and experimental plots have been
created to date and new ones are being created within the Garden. These include
an arboretum consisting, and hybrids, a medicinal, spicy and aromatic plant
garden, collections of forage plants, rare and endangered plants, ornamental
plants and food plants. There is also an extensive tropical collection held in
the glasshouses consisting of 3000 species of tropical and subtropical plants.
Experimental plots "Stony garden", "Garden of continuous
flowering" and "Bonsai" .are significant for this region. There
are two herbaria with specimens, a seed collection and a big collection of
lichens and fungi.
( http://www.sbras.ru/sbras/db/show_doc.phtml?3+eng+21)
Zayeltsovsky park.
Wonderful place!! One of the oldest parks of the city,
considered to be the Novosibirsk "green pearl"!
Its history is inseparably linked with the main
milestones of development and Zayeltsovsky district formation. The recreation
park "Zayeltsovsky" is located in the territory of unique forest area
- Zayeltsovsky pine forest. The park - the largest in the territory of the city
of Novosibirsk, and by right is the favourite vacation spot of citizens. The
park territory at the moment includes more than 35 hectares of forest plantings
and cozy glades. Located in only several minutes of a driving from the downtown,
the Zayeltsovsky park helps to have a rest from daily vanity and city noise.
Relic pines, twisting forest footpaths, clean air will help citizens to switch
over to rest completely.

The Zoo which has one of the world's best collections of felines and weasels and the the Novosibirsk Center for Astrophysics is the biggest of its kind in the Asian Russia.
The Novosibirsk Zoo keeps 4000 animals of 399 species.
More than 120 species are entered into the Red Book. A zoological team participates
in 32 international programs on preservation and reproduction of rare and
endangered species.
Novosibirsk Youth
Academic Theatre Globe.
The date of the founding and the beginning of the
activity of the theatre is April 4th
1930. Leonid Makarev's play “Timoshka’s mine” opened the first stationary
theatre of Novosibirsk.
The image of Novosibirsk as a cultural centre of Siberia
is in many respects formed thanks to the initiatives of “Globe”. The theatre is
an organizer of important cultural events of All-Russian significance:
restoring large-scale tour traditions, the arrival of The Chekhov Moscow Art
Theatre to Novosibirsk; one of the largest forums - the International Christmas
festival of arts; festival of National theatrical award “Gold mask”. Thanks to
these events townspeople had a unique opportunity of acquaintance with the best
achievements of Russian and foreign art.

First of all for those who are interested how to read the name of the city here is the transcription [krəsnɐˈjærsk]
Not difficult.

| The boys are in Krasnoyarsk - Credits: Placebo Russia
This city is located on the Yenisei River (that flows into the Arctic Ocean) in Siberia. It was founded in 1628 by Andrey Dubenski as a wooden fortress to protect border of new possessions from attacks of the nomadic people who lived in Siberia.
|
The historical center of Krasnoyarsk perfectly remained: old wooden houses and majestic stone buildings – merchants' houses in the past. Streets here are rather narrow, very cozy and beautiful. The downtown
is insignificant – it can be bypassed on foot in 2–3 hours, and the specific geometry of the city won't allow you to get lost there.
I think the first and the main reason to fall in love with this city is Russian nature: wonderful view of the beautiful river, enormous Russian space, amazing landscapes.
The outstanding Russian writer, the author of many stories and plays Anton Checkov wrote "...the nature original, stately and wonderful begins only with Yenisei". "On this coast Krasnoyarsk - the best & ; beautiful of all Siberian cities..."

There are two beautiful and unique places in Krasnoyarsk:
Praskovya Pyatnitskaya Chapel that situated on the Karaulnaya Hill - here tourists may enjoy the
panorama of the city and The National Park "Stolbi" -"pillars" - nature rocks...The perfect place for relaxation. Walking
in the fresh air, climbing up one of the rocks, watching astonishing Russian views that give you so much pleasure! I
think in such places like this you realise that you are still a part of nature.
|
Krasnoyarsk is the cultural center: there are opera and ballet theater, drama, comedy, doll theaters and 'The Theatre for Young Audience' (TYA - ТЮЗ); art gallery, museum of local lore and V. I. Surikov's
museum (a famous Russian painter), the symphonic orchestra, an organ hall.

There are a lot of parks, monuments, fountains and architectural landmarks.
