hello and welcome to the show on this week's program i'll be exploring that is life in moscow of australia to change the course of history of starting off here on red square next to the magnificent moscow kremlin tony martin andras as we take a look at his epic journey and visit various landmarks associated with his life and that. is one of the main names associated with russia. eight hundred seventy s. not any inching choices to your name living in nineteen i want as one of the leading political figures and revolution we think is the twentieth century and change the world for most of my bullshit takeover of power in russia in one hundred seventeen the communist party manage in one to the cost free economy life from the top is full of marxism but what is the soviet leaders like to see today. reading your left for developments in syria who feel that you. might say their mission

those guys are really able to take a philosophy churning and implement it trains as something that whole society could use and think it was well intentioned to getting their checks these communities that are on the national when it is members to idealise release time and is still idealist now i think it's completely over the top to keep them in there and you're not sure even in the grounds and using the real seal. he turned everything upside down. there's nothing else to say. he was in london the father of the story. right and then changed. and there were friends here from the younger generations you can say that the image of the leader has turned into a retro almost extinct are not helped by chinese souvenirs pop star t. shirts and cheesy sounds it seems now the levinson chief minutes equally celebrates his and mourns and the good and bad he did in his life both acknowledged gone are

the days of thousands of people queuing up to see his involved for the hundreds perhaps the recording locations it's still the main association. with him. in this program we were real many other places that were close to the bullshit leader which city was at the forefront of his life where moscow was in the capital for most of the previous century lennon had to make his administrative center of the country. because of german threats let him move the ball straight policy from separatist backed off to grab as it was called once moscow in march one thousand ac red square mcclellan what's become a landmarks in his life and will become his final resting place originally i wouldn't say in the stone credit mostly in which we see the highlights today was opened in nineteen thirty and still open for public viewing recent rooms have suggested by his body might be removed and buried elsewhere. even if that happens

and matter what your political background it is clear that lenin was an exceptional human being even if you don't like the policies or ideology he stood for lenin moved into the mostly kremlin in the nineteen eighteen nation house at night he took both his wife and their style and his and that's another french born revolutionary and it's not ottomans with him. looking towards a whole theory as a mesh where we head towards the national home town the last two decades of the access to many many locations previously closed and even a movie in the us saw museums have. his hotel's bunker is it seems the russian capital is now open to well almost if you want an example of a classic hotel from the last century this is perfect built in one hundred three by the famed version art attacks on the advent of the national her talent in historic landmark for more than a century before the revolution hotel hosted foreign diplomats politicians royalty

business functions and meeting before it was after nine hundred seventeen the national has proclaimed the first house of the soviet became a residence of the bullshit government accommodation top communist leaders our main point of interest is really one of seven the bright emotions here since the location while antique furniture high ceilings and the sense of history made is the one hundred and seventy here in my opinion only has one of the best years of the capital but it's also packed full of history accommodating of all street party this week inside the muscle hotel was famously home to lennon and his wife of two weeks and last night's an eighty in the hotel has been renovated since but still while a result icing remains this the grounds of the twentieth century that's what that's . each you can gaze across to the kremlin and much of this cost pass.

today this room costs thousands of dollars a night i'm not quite sure many of the impressive price. same rights for everyone needs a levels and this is video of hotel is historically connected with linen and the bullshit government is still of interest for many and only those interested do not necessarily need to book a room you can apply for a special tour as the department of cultural heritage is most go to exclusions are organized twice a year. moving on and wants other muscular cations connects and that means life. then is often. homage to the climate is now an historical exhibit indeed how representing the atmosphere in which you live and watch for several years the regional cabinet was open to the public in one hundred fifty five became of the most visited museums in the country but as it was located in the kremlin the same building where the actual russian government of president was in the one nine

hundred ninety s. it was decided to move the cabinet to the state and in such a complex game. fifty thousand historical items have been moved including and that is clogged it still shows the time when he left the room the last time. a perfectly items which relate to lennon's work represent the period for ninety eighteen thousand nine hundred twenty three for the personal belongings from the collection which we used by lennon in his everyday life older than that some of them were used by several generations of the union or family and date back to eighteen forty two while visiting red square you often see lenin lookalikes snap happy tourists the chance to have photographs taken pay for the role playing act as various men to train and it celebration up and even saw nicholas the second and for one hundred rubles that's around three dollars you too can have a cheesy reminder of your time in the start i think lenin is especially popular among foreigners but i have to say they are more stranger going to comes to money

they understand lenin sells just like everything else almost. monuments to lenin not only examples of study of art but the also one of the main symbols of the era says the one nine hundred twenty s. thousands of monuments were erected in almost every city and small town of the u.s.s.r. in the school and there were dozens of sculptures of the bullshit leader erected in the city squares in front of the mistreated buildings and you can still see many of them to this attack. what moscow's most lives yuri's hotels in a city sense that was once the stage for many speeches the metropole hotel built in the beginning of the twentieth century. also became a base for the bolshevik governments many leaders lived and worked in the metropole and it was often visited by many when he addressed his associates in the monte twenty's based on the functioning as a hotel again for decades its rules were only available for russian and international celebrities politicians and now anyone can stay at the historic hotel

but remember it does come to a price up with the feel of. the hotel has been preserved in its original look despite all the wars and revolutions of the twentieth century these who are here today is the same as it was nine hundred eighteen when the bullshit government had its meetings here but it's deputies smoked a lot so when restoration right was carried out in the one thousand eight is it all to spawn doubt that the painted walls and stain gloss were all but a small damaged which they had to clean to restore their original and their gracious but then his life works in theories are still studied by hundreds of institutions around the world school is evaluate the ideology of communism lecturers discuss his political influence and researches look at the bolshevik impact on the u.s.s.r. was america. actually around the country for almost six years has his legacy still. in all parts of prussia. was

a vital figure for the twentieth century history of prussia. ten kilometers south of moscow he we are final location you state. this vast green space belong to various nobleman from the eighteenth century ending up in the possession. of the famous must. pay tribute. to the serbian government. looks yuri's prophecy was nationalized and became. the winter garden here. taking the sump. thanks to b.c. and will not know the exact chance of running grounds are open to the public today but only for organized tours the house is filled with lennon's possessions you can see everything from the gifts given to man in his wheelchair various clothes and his four thousand book collection. in may nineteenth twenty three he followed

medical advice and left the muscle cramming for gold he was here as a frown man only in his early fifty's vladimir image in the north and spent his final years in september nineteenth eighty in a soviet leader recuperated here after. ten years and he spent i mean chris amount of time at that as his health deteriorated over the coming years finally living in some retirement he died in this actual bed on the twenty first of january ninety twenty four. after the instant the complex was renamed linsky estates officially became a museum in one nine hundred thirty eight and was a place of pilgrimage for city citizens right up to the fall of the iron curtain from viewing his death mask here to visiting his red square we're talking about local historians tourists all modern day communists he added achievements of lenin still have a cult following and all the places connected with his life and legacy are space

minister is living openly in britain despite a thirty year jail sentence back home he said which is god he was convicted of corruption and power abuse for personal profit but fled. with more on those stories for us in fifteen minutes from now meantime the tensions here with the latest action from the world of sport. hello and welcome abel she was sports news here in r t the headlines. shop i can see there is a run at wimbledon the former champion beating. excepts in the third stage. made a career win for ben spies the american capitalizes on marcus him on challenges in early crash to claim the dutch move the grand prix. and also spinning knots winning apparel french riders are involved in an unusual accident of non-equal with their bikes performing a bizarre down to colliding. tennis first off i made it out of

a can see is a quest for a second wimbledon title of citizen to the last sixteen of the sing off. so i was taken to her so tiebreaker her previous british vocal laura robson bob noyce took the time in the following clash on her way to the russian with some powerful shots have six two six three victory. put as much expectation is is mainly. based on the fact that like you said i haven't. because the forest. for a few years. at this point. and hopefully the series in those took further and even more. as a lot of us performances be watched closely not only in england but also here in the russian capital recently retired star and olympic champion given to me several believes that she could win in london this year even though some of us lost major title camera came at the australian open three years ago. when building was maria's

first grand slam title back in two thousand and four i think she likes to play on grass and has a good chance of winning this tournament this season and of course will be supporting her and the only russian man there betrayal youzhny. and now shut up. the namesake and old school friend very clearly on call had a much tougher opponents in the form of defending champion sorry no williams and was unable to find announcer losing six three six two elsewhere world number one carrying was not he's through with a win over a little known journey to also have all the strength and joining us now in the last sixteen of them and he quits a book over the top see the dane he's play next. and that brings us to the men's side of action where mikhail youzhny has put the place in the last sixty enough to beat to nicolas a lager in four sets next stop for the russian is roger federer this wisdom in a scene throughout his encounter with arjun time veterans of. their dictabelt water

old song gulf air and also through biography of seated problem solving was not valid by and see the turn a tall image and earlier defending champion rafael nadal successfully won his match against israel a move which was suspended from the day before. so that mobility in the player. poised for a serve and played more ball we. probably had but i want a boy that would put. the russian olympic committee has been marking its centennial this week and most of it is in moscow follow the international olympic day which was on thursday constantin pop up off went along to the celebrations and delusion at the stadium. russia has a massive olympic tradition there's been many ups and downs throughout the past century for sports in the country but the biggest achievement is perhaps that the russian olympic committee has not been going for one hundred years and delusion

hysteria that hosted the moscow olympics in one thousand eight hundred you came the center of celebrations marking that fact russian olympic champions and famous athletes turn up giving everyone the chance to talk to some top sports stars. i think an event such as this one should be held every year but it is an important occasion for all the current former and future russian olympians and of the population season's athletes give it their all during the games the exposure would increase regardless of the result. i consider this special day to be a personal holiday for me since i'm in the limpid campaign i'm going to employ over the olympic committee our main goal is to simply expose as many children as possible to sports for a healthier future generation. there is always something to be improved at the governing body of the russian olympic movement but it has helped to raise a lot of champions and wants an athlete to explore to nailing peaks and then

olympian forever. adding up yet you but everything i do now is connected with sport and that's great i spend more than twenty years in sport and i don't want to let it go i feel some responsibility i have to give something that after many people have put a lot of effort into making an olympic champion out of me. that that that. some of the athletes who arrived at the round are still aiming for olympic gold and with his social impacts and mind rushing to national hockey clear might seem a few might be and yet who this announcement of the appointment of a new blood as russia's new head coach. that's the fourth or fifth one for himself. and the medals. it can look like people who are disappointed by what was a real festival of sport with thirty five different activities to try out it was

something for everyone russia is going to host many significant sports events like the world students gain in cause i mean twenty thirteen next year you see the winners such olympics and then of course the world cup in twenty teams and a lot is being done to make sports more popular among youth and this event is a big part of the program lots of children here enjoying themselves and hopefully many future sports stars are among them the same bought up of archie must go. and the meantime the ministry of sports to resume new policies should straighten it punish any sport federation failing to prepare athletes properly for international competitions that's according to president nixon it's very different and often a meeting of the sports council. and a head of state believes the sanctions should be tough. i mean support from sports ministry must watch but you can have programs very closely into equal corresponding measures if they're not being carried out properly in the history could go as far

as just then the professional licenses are sort of rationed in the worst case you could have been taken away permanently but i'm a bit of football news now on the black and blue half of milan have welcomed their fourth manager within twelve months of john kerry neither man hoping to become a fixture i have this in syria with a fifty three year old knows the game well having been groomed in the event was huge system during the start of his playing career yes very late. as juno managing two thousand and six finishing fifth and sciri in two thousand and nine and surf initial second behind city rivals a sim a long season with manager and they are now out of the promptly stepping down to take over as alton directors well we've heard the sounds of man in france. now the russian women's basketball team have made it into the quarterfinals of the european championships in poland after winning the penultimate game of the second group stage sokolowski swarthy it seems the czech republic sixty nine to fifty five

russia have player as part of great britain next in the final group game on monday . and has been a double success for a bull in qualifying ahead of the european grand prix in bali on sale with sébastien to tell and mark webber securing the first two spots on the greens there ariz for now the all also posted only the fourth weakest time on the day despite winning friday's practice in style his teammates believe them also will start right behind him from fifth while lewis hamilton was that fastest from. russia and renault was a tiny bit short settle for eleventh place only so the towel now hoping to hold on to his advantage in sunday's response as it's a tricky trick. it's a tricky circuit there's so many corners we've got twenty five before we you know cross the line again and especially in qualifying to get every single corner right is it's very very difficult sort of get the perfect lap in this is quite tough but i think you know my first run was was quite good i was very happy and mark obviously in the second round. meanwhile saturday was

a race day for the latest moto g.p. stopping all sun in the netherlands with american ben spies winning his maiden life race with some health problems rivals though and the opening left crash involving world champion jorge lorenzo landfill say that mark simone shelley among all those propellants be on the horizon to top spot spies opened up a four second advantage of the keystone and never been back in the head of the australian and on threat of his heels or instead still no extend that he's over a lead over the round so to twenty one it's. special because this track is a track or group watching all my heroes race on forever and with this weekend being the fiftieth anniversary for yamaha i don't know how it all came together i had a friend over from the states and all the special colors here and ass and all the way the weather was maybe it was just all happen for a reason and we were able to do it today but the race was the race was tough and some ways uneasy in some ways. as staying with multiple crashes which ran to have
