hello and welcome to the show on this week's program i'll be exploring balanced life in moscow of australia to change the course of the straits and starting off here on red square next to the magnificent moscow kremlin tony martin and lewis as we take a look at his epic journey and visit various landmarks associated with his life at . least. one of the main names associated with russia. eight hundred seventy s. let me in she chose a studio name living in nineteen i want as one of the leading political figures and revolution we think is of the twentieth century a change the world but most of all she take over of power in russia in one hundred seventeen the communist party and religion was a class free economy life from an attempted form of marxism but what is the soviet leaders like to see today. we heard earlier called the developments in syria who

feel you. might say are a nation those guys are really able to take a philosophy and turn it into a tree and says something that our society could use and think it was well intentioned begin coccyx disco music on the measuring of its members to idealist release time and is still idealist now i think it's completely over the top to keep him in there and you're not sharing him in the ground by using the real soon. he turns everything upside down. there's nothing else to say. it was in london the father of the so you're. 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 not helped by tacky souvenirs pop t. shirts and cheesy as it seems now. are equally celebrated and

mourned and the good and bad in his life acknowledged the other days of thousands of people queuing up to see his. hundred scraps of recordings locations it's still the main association millions of him. in this program we were real many other places that were close to the bullshit leader. which was still in front of his life . in the capital for most of the previous century lennon had to make his ministry sort of center of the country. because of german threats move the ball street party from st petersburg as it was called. the red square and the club and what's become. in his life and will become his final resting place originally a wooden to the stone that most of them which we see the highlights today opens in nineteenth and still open for public viewing recent rumors that suggested by his body might be removed elsewhere. even if that happens and

political backgrounds it is clear that lenin was an exceptional human being even if you don't like ideology he stood for lenin into the most are coming in nineteen eighteen mention has it not he took both his wife. and his mother french born revolutionary ottomans with him. i'm an ash where we head towards the national front the last two decades of the access to many many locations previously closed or even a movie in the us a soft museums have. houses hotels bunkers it seems the russian capital is now open to all well almost if you want an example of a consequence house in the last century this is perfect built in launching a three by the famed version on its axis from the event of the national home towns in historic and i marked more than

a century before the revolution hotel hosted foreign diplomats. wall street business tycoons and beating the famous after ninety cities international has proclaimed the first house of the soviets became a residence of the bullshit government accommodating top communist leaders our main point of interest is really one of seven the bright audition syria serves the location well and six but it sure has ceilings and the sense of history and he is the one hundred and seventy here in my opinion probably has one of the best years of the capital but it's also packed full of history accommodating the boss that party this with inside the russell hotel is famously home to lennon and his wife for two weeks and last night in a city in the hotel has been renovated since but still while a result icing remains this the grounds of the twentieth century got to it yes. you can gaze across the kremlin and watch

a place cars pass. today this ring costs thousands of dollars a night i'm not quite sure lennon would be too impressed with the price idea same rights for everyone needs a little of this good victuals to know is historically connections with linen and the bill should go mint is still of interest for many and only those interested do not necessarily need to book a route you can apply for a special tour as the department of cultural heritage is. such exclusions are organized twice a year. moving on and what other most locations connects them in slices. then it is often. thomas is now on historical exhibits in detail representing the atmosphere in which he lived and worked for several years it was your cabin it was open to the public in one hundred fifty five became were 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 nine hundred ninety s. it was decided to move the cabinet to the state and in such a complex and gorky building fifty thousand historical items have been moved including and that is clogged but still shows the time when he left the room the last time. a perfect items which relate to lennon's work represent the period from ninety eight changing going to 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 torres a chance to have photographs taken for the role playing act as various men patrolmen it celebration of and even son nicholas the second and for one hundred rubles that's around three dollars you can have a cheesy reminder of your time in moscow i think lenin is especially popular among foreigners but i have to say they are more stringent it comes to money but they

understand lenin so it's just like everything else in this world. monuments to lenin are not only examples of studied art but they're also one of the main symbols often in iraq says the nineteen twenties thousands of monuments were erected in almost every city in a 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 mistreated buildings and you can still see many of them today stack. one of moscow's most lives joys hotels in a city sense that was once a stage for lennon's speeches and metropol hotel built in the beginning of the twentieth century. also became a base for the bolshevik government many leaders lived and worked in the metropol and it was often visited by many when he addressed his associates in the one hundred twenty s. it started functioning as a hotel again for decades its rooms are only available for russian and international celebrities and politicians now anyone can stay at the historic hotel

but remember it does come at a price that we will see in the back 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 in nineteen 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 nineteen ages it all to spawn doubt that the painted walls and stained gloss were already small damaged which they had to clean to restore their original decorations but then is life works and theories are still studied by hundreds of institutions around the world school is evaluate the ideology of communism connection was discussed his political influence and research is look at the bolshevik impact on the u.s.s.r. for that matter how organized they are. actually around the country for almost six years and his his legacy is still visible in all parts of russia and i mean i

go for the twentieth century history of russia that's for sure. maybe ten kilometers south of moscow here we are our final location estate. this past green outer space belong to various noble men from the eighteenth century ending up in the position of denied the models of the widow of the famous must went astray and theatrical patron suffer. after the soviet government. and its yuri's property was nationalized and became. a winter garden here is breathtaking it's really some. to be seen and are not known to the dash of fancy running grounds are open to the public today but only for organized chores the house is filled with lennon's possessions he can see everything from gifts given to men in his wheelchair there is clothes and his four thousand election. in may nineteenth

twenty three he followed medical advice and left the muscle cramming for goalkeeper it was here is a frail man only in his early fifty's vladimir image in the north and spent his final years in september lies in eighty in a soviet leader book in praise of him after alice isolation attempts and he spent i mean chris about the time outs the doubt as his health deteriorated over the coming years finally living in semi retirement he died in this actual bad on the twenty first of january ninety twenty four. after the incident the complex was renamed linsky the state officially became a museum in one nine hundred thirty eight and was a place of pilgrimage for services right up to the fall of the ion curtain from viewing his death mask here to visiting his embalmed body the red square we're talking about local historians tourists all modern day communists the epic achievements of lenin still have

a cult following and all the places connected with his life and legacy are steps amazing as the journey that was not his life what a beautiful building well unfortunately that's what how we have on this week's program i'll see you again of a same time next week so until then for me and the rest of the crew from lemons spectacular that are. day children play war in the old keys. much enjoy nine hundred forty one these walls were the first barrier for the nazi troops on their way to moscow and. hunters and wrestlers were dying one by one

under siege the son. was. in the last shelter an unnamed soldier left a few simple words farewell motherland i'm dying but i'm not surrendering. innovation cluster in the center of siberia one city has revolutionary ideas for the automotive industry your local changes that stuff in fiction straight out of software to make free shuttles free from the building blocks for russia's first nationwide four g. network home school and stopped going to college to fix. please the future

covered. maybe no splash in russian politics billionaire mikhail prokhorov launches themself as the leader of a liberal business minded party setting his sights on becoming prime minister he was elected on a promise to make the right cause party second largest after the united russia in the upcoming parliamentary election asking if not me then who are. dozens killed in a terror attack on a hospital in eastern afghanistan while president obama pushes forward with plans for a drastic troop reduction labels risky by some commanders in the u.s. military and obama wants to reduce u.s. troops in the country by a third amid

a surge in violence following the killing of osama bin laden. the u.k. accuse of double standards for providing safe haven for egypt's former finance minister who was convicted of corruption despite london publicly supporting the pro-democracy movement use of which are a scholar he was sentenced in absentia to three decades in jail but fled the country. as how you so well let us up next with all the latest from the world of sports stay with us. hello and welcome you're watching the sports news here marty the headlines. are up i can see is ironic the former champion beating. excepts in the third stage. made a career win for ben spies the american capitalizes on marcus in on challenge is it really a crash to claim the dutch move the grand prix. and also spinning not winning apparel

champion given to me several believes that she could win in london this year even though some of us the last major title count it came at the australian open three years ago. wimbledon 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 we'll be supporting her and the only russian man there usually like now. ovals namesake and off course for am very curious guy had a much tougher opponent in the form of defending champion sorry not williams and was unable to find an answer here and called losing six three six two elsewhere world number one caring was not he's through with a win over little my own. thoughts of all the strain and joining in the last sixteen of them and he creates a book over the top seeded explain next. hour that brings us to the men's side of action where mikhail youzhny has put the place in the last sixteen out of the two

nicholas a lottery for says next up for the russian is roger federer this wisdom an eighteen throughout his encounter with arjun time veterans of mind sound very thick they'll pull troops on gulf air and cool but also through cognitive seated problem solving was not found by and suited to in a tone which and earlier defending champion rafael nadal successfully won his match against israel a move which was suspended from the day before. i think so that mobility in the. all by poised for a serve. no one. probably had but i wonder if it would put. the russian olympic committee has been marking its centennial this week and the state it is in moscow followed up international olympic day which was on thursday can spend some pop up of one's along to the celebrations and illusion of 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 on that hosted the moscow olympics in one thousand eight hundred became the center of celebrations marking the fact the 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 see these athletes give it their all during the games the exposure would increase regardless of the results. i consider this special day to be a personal holiday for me since i'm an olympic champion 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 picks and then olympian forever. that adding a few 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 and many people have put a lot of effort into making an olympic champion out of me see what is it that that . some of the athletes who arrived at the ground are still aiming for olympic gold and with his social impacts in mind and washington national hockey player might seem with an idea of his assessment of the pointy end of his in it lightly as russia's new head coach. that's the fourth. year 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 there was something for everyone russia is going to host many significant sports events like the world student games in comes out in 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 me sports more popular among youth and this event is a big boy of the program lots of children here enjoying themselves and hopefully many future sports stars are among them is a part of our team must go. and the mental i'm going to stray off sportster as my new policy should strictly punish any sports federation failing to prepare athletes properly for international competitions that's according to president makes him a very definitive part in a meeting of the sports council and consign and head of state believes the sanctions should be tough. sports ministry must watch particular

programs very closely into equal corresponding measures if they are not being carried out properly but the ministry could go as far as just burn the professional licenses of certain good relations in the worst cases it could have had to take them 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 and john carroll gets very near the man hoping to become a fixture at the sincere all the fifty three year old knows the game well having been grooming the event as youth system during the start of his playing career very late. as juno managing two thousand six hundred fifteen siri in two thousand and nine finished second behind seed to rivals ac milan this season with manager there and out of there promptly stepping down to take over and schools in direct as well with party sound 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 bodies squalled beatings the czech republic sixty nine to fifty five russia player as part of great britain next in the final group game on monday. there's been a double success for a bull in qualifying ahead of the european grand prix in bali on sale with the boston red cell and mark webber securing the first in spots on the grade for ariz fernando alonso posted only the fourth weakest time on the day despite winning friday's practice in style his team made the leap from also will start right behind him from fifth while lewis hamilton was third fastest from mcclaren russia and renewals vitale petrov settle for eleventh place only a towel now hoping to hold on to his advantage and some bass response as it's a tricky trick. it's a tricky circuit there 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 this is very very difficult so to get the perfect lap in this is quite tough but i

think here here my first run was was quite good i was very happy and markedly in the second round. 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 flight race with some health problems his rivals though and the opening left crash involving world champion hole in the round so. mark simone shelley among all of us profiling the yamaha rider to the top spot spies opened up a full second advantage of a keystone and never been back mention head of the australian and on threat of his heels or instead still no extended his overall lead over lawrence zero to twenty points. it's special because this track is a trucker 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 das and with the way the weather was maybe it was just roll happen for

a reason and we were able to do it today but the race was the race is tough in some ways and easier in some ways. now staying with crashes which run to have a lighter side to them would have a collisions frequently causing injuries the following and that's a bike crash though thankfully only resulted in a few offs for the spectators the money track has seen a special feeling moments as a formal side over the long fringe from great though no form of want to ever came close to the wanted befell to make cereal and somebody come here the paralyzing control of their eyes during its off the and then were unable to regain it after the ensuing incident by going out for a spin without taking the riders along causing a massive amount of frustration for both man everyone thought they do you are getting a kick out of the situation as the power fell further and further down the standings come here however i was able to regroup from prostration and managed to pull a five for the final of the finish and seventeen.
