hello and welcome to the show on this week's program i'll be exploring that in slice. the ball straight lead to change the course of the straits of starting off red square next to the magnificent moscow kremlin. as we take a look at his epic journey and visit various landmarks associated with his life at . one of the main names associated with. eight hundred seventy s. . chose his studio name living in nineteen i was one of the leading political figures and revolution we think is of the twentieth century he changed the world. will she take over of power in russia in nine hundred seventeen the communist party manage an unwanted class free economy life from an adapted form of marxism but what is the soviet leaders like to see today. for the developments in syria who.

might say their mission those guys are really able to take a philosophy and turn it in if they turn it into something the whole society could use and think it was well intentioned to get in their checks these communities that are on the national review this man was to history his time and he's still idealist now i think is completely over the top to keep him in there and you know cherry him in the ground and using the renewal so. he turned everything upside down. there's nothing else to say he. was in london the father of the so you're. right and then changed. and they were friends for the younger generation as you can say that the image of the lead and into a retro. figure not helped by pop. and. it seems now chief minutes are equally celebrated. on the good and bad he did.

acknowledge. the days of thousands of people queuing up to see his. regarding locations it's still the main association. with him. in this program we were real many other places that were close to the leader. which was at the forefront of his life. in the capital for most of the previous century lennon has to make it. center of the country. because of threats. as it was called. for public viewing. his body moves.

even. political backgrounds it is clear that lennon was an exceptional human being even if. he. moved into the. legend has it that he took both his wife. and his. in. the national hunt the last two decades of the access to many many locations previously closed even a moon in the us all museums have. hotels bunkers it seems the russian capital is now open to all. almost if you want an example of a consequence house in the last century this is perfect built in luncheon or three by the famed an architect. of. the

century before the revolution the hotel hosted foreign diplomats. loyalty business and indeed to the famous after nine hundred seventeen russia has proclaimed the first house of the soviet residence of the. communist leader our main point of interest is really one of seven bright. since the location of antique furniture high ceilings and a sense of history the one hundred. the best years of the capital but it's also packed full of history. that part of this with inside the hotel was famous they are at his wife for two weeks. in the hotel has been renovated since but still. this. desk. you can gaze across to the kremlin much of this cost

desk. today this room costs thousands of dollars a night i'm not quite sure to be too impressed with the. same rights for everyone. to know is historically connected then. and is still of interest for many and those interested do not necessarily need to book a route you can apply for a special tour as the department of. exclusions are organized twice a year. and what other moscow locations connects with. them is often. uncomment is now an historical exhibit in detail representing the atmosphere in which he lived and watched for several years. and it was open to the public in one nine 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 president was in the one nine hundred ninety s. it was decided to move the cabinet to the state and dutch complex in. historical items have been moved including manning's clock which still shows the time when he left the group the last time. which relate to lennon's work represent the period for nine hundred eighteen thousand nine hundred twenty three but the personal belongings from the collection which we used by lennon in his everyday life but older than that some of them were used by several generations of the family and date back to eight hundred forty two. lennon lookalikes. act as various men. and even the second one hundred roubles that's around three dollars you can have a cheesy reminder of your time. especially popular among foreigners but i have to

say there are more stingy when it comes to money but they understand lennon sells just like everything else in this world. monuments to lenin only examples of studied art but they're also one of the main symbols of the era says the twenty's thousands of monuments were erected in almost every city and small town of the west . there are dozens of sculptures of the phosphate leader erected in the city squares in front of administrative buildings and you can still see many of them to this day. one of those most luxurious hotels in the city center was once a stage speeches the metropole hotel built in the beginning of the twentieth century. became a base for the bolshevik government many leaders lived and worked in the metropole and it was often visited by many when he addressed his associates in the one hundred twenty two functioning hotel again for decades its rules were only available for russian. politicians. to stay at the historic

hotel but remember. the price. of. the hotel has been preserved in its original look this but all the wars and revolutions of the twentieth century here today is the same as it was in nine hundred eighteen when the bolshevik government had its meetings here but. so when restoration work was carried out in the ninety's all to spawn doubt that the painted walls ten glossy small damaged which they had to clean to restore the decorations. theories are still studied by hundreds of institutions around the school with the ideology of communism. look at the impact. around the country for.

his. figure for the twentieth century. from the eighteenth century. in the. property was nationalized and became. it's really something. to be seen and not know the answer running grounds are open to the public today but only for organized tours the house is filled with possessions here you can see everything from gifts given to man in his wheelchair various clothes and his four thousand book collection. in may nine hundred twenty

three he followed medical advice and left the kremlin. he was here as a frown man only in his early fifty's vladimir. would spend his final years in september nineteen eighteen a soviet leader. i mean chris amount of time. as his health deteriorated over the coming years finally living in retirement he died in this actual bad on the twenty first of january ninety four. after the complex was renamed linsky officially became a museum in one nine hundred thirty eight and was a place of pilgrimage 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 communists the epic achievements of lenin still have

a cult following and all the places connected with his life and legacy. as the journey that was his life. building well unfortunately that's what's how we have on this week's program i'll see you again at the same time next week so until then for me and the rest of the crew from spectacular. seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand dead. from battlefields several kilometers long. and now there is only one person who cares. you see we are surrounded by garbage everywhere but also there are.

hysteria and that housed in the moscow olympics in one thousand eight hundred became 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 as it is an important occasion for all the current former and future russian olympians and of the population sees its 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 mean pick champion i'm going to employ of 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 once an athlete takes part in the olympics then olympian forever. not one of the banning of standing 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 and i have to give something back after many people had but a lot of the effort into making in the olympic champion out of me. that that was some of the athletes who arrived at the round i still aiming for olympic gold and with this such olympics in mind russia international hockey player mike seem a few again i gave his assessment of the appointment of an employer as a russia's new head coach. this. one step forward for the dear one for himself. and the models.

it looks like people who are disappointed by what was a real festival of sport with thirty five different activities to try out there was something for everyone russia is going to host many significant sports events like the world student game in comes out in twenty thirteen next year it's the winter such olympics and then of course the world cup in twenty teams and a lot is being done to me 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 by the r.t.e. must go. and the men time the ministry of sports to resume new policies should strictly punish any sport federation failing to prepare athletes probably for international competitions that's according to president may trim advantage of the font in the meeting of the sports council. and the head of state believes the sanctions should be tough. the sports ministry must watch particular

programs very closely into a call corresponding measures if they are not being carried out properly but the ministry could go as far as to suspend the professional licenses of certain sports federations in the world could even take them away permanently but. a bit of football news now on the black on blue how long have welcomed their fourth manager within twelve months john kerry knew the man hoping to become a fixture at this in syria with a fifty three year old knows the game well having been groomed from the event as youth system during the start of his playing career gets very new late. as juno managing two thousand and six finishing fifth and sciri in two thousand and nine. second behind city rivals ac milan this season with manager they are not of the stepping down to take over as directors will leave party 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

the second run. meanwhile saturday was a race day for the latest moto g.p. stopping all summit in the netherlands with american ben spies winning his maiden top flight race with some help from his rivals though and opening lap crash involving world champion. marco seaman shelley among all this propelling the yamaha rider to top spot spies opened up a four second advantage of the k.c. stone and back in the head of the australian and on his heels or instead still no extended his overall lead over there and so to twenty points. 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 with the way the weather was maybe it was just fall happen for a reason and we were able to do it today but the race was the race was tough in
