hello and welcome to the show on this week's program of exploring balanced life in moscow of australia to change the course of this trade and starting off here on red square next to the magnificent moscow kremlin tony martin andrews as we take a look at his epic journey and visit various landmarks associated with his life and that. many of the main names associated with russia. eight hundred seventy s. let me in she chose a pseudo name living in nineteen i want as one of the leading political figures and revolution we think of the twentieth century he changed the world. most of my bullshit takeover of power in russia in nineteen seventeen the communist party ran a religion once it cost free equal life and attacked it full of marxism but what is the soviet leaders like to see today. reading your letter for the developments in syria who forget you. might say to a nation those guys are really able to take

a philosophy churning and if they train to something that whole society could use and think it was well intentioned begin ejects this community here on the initial reading of this man was to idealise from his time and he's still idealist now i think it's completely over the top to keep him in there and you know cheery him in the ground and using the real seal. he turns everything upside down. there's nothing else to see. he was ill and in 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 leader has turned into a retro almost six figure not helped by tacky seventy is pop the shots and cheesy as it seems now. equally celebrated and mourns and the good and bad he

did in his life both acknowledged one of the days of thousands of people queuing up to see his. sweat but regarding 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 city was on the phone in front of his life. in the capital for most of the previous century lennon had to make it the administrative center of the country. because of german threats well a move the ball street policy from separate is better off at the ground as it was called the. red square and the kremlin has become a landmarks in his life and will become his final resting place originally a wooden tomb the stone that most of them which we see the highlights today was opened in nineteenth and still open for public viewing recent release of suggested by his body might be removed elsewhere. even if that happens no matter what

your political background it is clear that lenin was an exceptional human being even if you don't like the policies ideology he stood for lenin moved into the mostly kremlin in nineteen eighteen legend has it not he took both his wife and the cops crime and his. french born revolutionary innocent ottomans with him. was a whole theory as we head towards the national front the last two decades of the access to many many locations previously closed even on the moon and us soft museums have . houses hotels bunkers it seems the russian capital is now open to 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 act from the event of the national home towns in an inspiring historic landmark move in the century before the revolution hotel

hosted foreign diplomats clutch issues loyalty business tycoons policing the famous after nine hundred seventy international has proclaimed the first house of the soviets became a residence of the bullshit governments accommodating top communist leaders our main point of interest is really one of seven the bright options here serves the location well antique furniture high ceilings and a sense of history is the room 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 the ball straight party this was inside the russell hotel was famously home to lennon at his profit two weeks and most nights in ac and the hotel has been renovated since but still want a result ice in the mains this grounds by the twentieth century that's with us. each you can gaze across the kremlin much influence because desk. today this room

costs thousands of dollars a night i'm not quite sure len and the beach impressed with the price by the same rights for everyone needs a little moses said victuals who to know is historically connected with linen and the bullshit go mention 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 of most skilled surgeon exclusions are all ministry was a year. living all and wants other must go locations connex life. then is often. and how much is now on historical exhibits in detail representing the atmosphere in which she lived and worked for several years the original cabinet was open to the public in one nine hundred fifty five and 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 niger ninety's it

was decided to move the cabinet to the state line in such a complex and goalkeeper one fifty thousand historical items have been moved including many is clogged it still shows the time when he left the group for the last time. i have a perfectly items which relate to lennon's work represent the period for ninety eight changing nine hundred twenty three of the personal belongings from the collection which were used by lennon in his everyday life but older than that some of them were used by several generations of the union or family and date back to eighteen forty two while this in red square you often see lenin lookalikes snapping tourists at the charts taking the wrong axes various men to train and celebration of and even son nicholas the second and for one hundred rubles that's around three dollars u two and how cheesy reminds us of your time. with the lenin is especially popular among foreigners but i have to say they are more stingy when it comes to money but they understand lenin cells just like everything else in this world.

monuments to lenin are not only examples of studies out there also one of my symbols of the era says the dungeon twenty's thousands of monuments were erected in almost every city a small town of the u.s.s.r. in a school now with dozens of sculptures of the whole street lead to erected in the city squares in front of mistreated buildings and you can still see many of them to this attack. one of moscow's most luxurious hotels in a city sense that was once a stage eleven 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 monkey twenties it started functioning as a hotel again for decades it's rooms are only available from russian and international celebrities and politicians now anyone can stay at the historic hotel

but remember it does come from the price up on the feel of. the hotel has been preserved in its original look this part of all the wars and revolutions of the twentieth century here today is the same as it was a nine hundred eighteen on the bolshevik government had its meetings here but instead he just 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. many his life works and theories are still studied by hundreds of institutions around the world school is evaluate the ideology of communism next year is just his political influence and research is look at the bolshevik impact on the u.s.s.r. was the man who organized. actually around become free for almost six years and has his legacy still. in all parts of russia. was

a vital figure for the twentieth century history of prussia that's for sure. moving ten kilometers south of here we are a location the state locate this vast green space belong to various noblemen in the eighteenth century and they're not in the position of deny the morals of a widow of the famous. patron models of the saudi government. and its yuri's property was nationalized and became. the winter garden here is breath taking. thanks to b. c. and the nose a dutch answer running grounds are open to the public today but only for organized tours the house is filled with lenin's possessions and you can see everything from gifts given to man in his wheelchair there is clothes and his four thousand book collection. in may nineteen twenty three he followed medical advice and left the

moscow kremlin to go he was here as a frown man only in his early fifty's vladimir image none of which spent his final years in september nineteen eighteen a soviet leader recuperated here after an assassination attempt and he spends i mean crystallize a time outs exactly as his health deteriorated over the coming years finally living in some of its highways he died in this actual bad on the twenty first of january ninety twenty four. after an instant the complex was renamed linsky to save officially became a museum in one hundred thirty eight i was a place of pilgrimage for soviet citizens right up to the fall of the iron curtain from viewing his death mask here to visiting his involved born and bred scrap we're talking about local historians tourists or modern day communists the epic achievements of lenin still have a cult following and all the places connected with his life and legacy are stuffed

amazing as the journey was and then it's like. a big school 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 london's spectacular capture by now. seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand janet against front panel field several kilometers long. and now there is only one person who cares. to see we are surrounded by gravity everywhere but also there are.

the u.k. to use to double standards for providing safe harbor cancer from egypt former finance minister who was convicted of corruption despite london publicly supporting the pro-democracy movement who said he was sentenced in absentia to thirty years in jail but fled the country. to tell you so beloved joins us next with all the latest sports news stay with us here on r.t. . hello and welcome abel she was course nears here marty the headlines might be a sort of a can see is ironic when the former champion beating. excepts in the third stage. amazing career win for ben spies the american capitalizes on markets in montreal is it really crashed a plane with dutch motor grand prix. and also spinning not swimming apparel french

riders are involved in an unusual accident of money caught with their bikes performing a bizarre down to colliding. as first off i'm not in shock over continues a quest for a second wimbledon title of citizen to the last sixteen of the sing off. so michael was taken to her so tie breaking her previous model british vocal laura robson wasted no time in the forward clash on her way to the russian with some powerful shots kept up operate six two six three victory and. put as much expectations as. you guys have on me based on the fact that i think you said i haven't. crossed the forest. for a few years. at this point. and hopefully this year you can go a step further and even more. and set up all those performances being watched closely not only in england but also here in the russian capital recently retired

star and olympic champion and i did meet several believes that she could win in london this year even though so up of us last night age of title camera came at the australian open three years ago. and 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 mikhail youzhny. now should. ovals namesake and off called friends very clearly on call had a much tougher opponents in the form of defending champion sorry not williams and was unable to find announcers caravan called losing six three six two elsewhere world number one carrying was not he's through with or without a little. loss of all the strain there and joining us now in the last sixteen or so i mean you could see book over who can't see the game he's playing next. and that brings us to the men's side of action where mikhail youzhny has put a place in the last sixteen up would be to nicolas

a watering four sets for the russian is roger federer this was dominating throughout his encounter with arjun time veterans up and down verdict still portraits on gulf air and also through biography of suited broken sword and was not balfour and suited a top notch 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 mentally. most of all the boys who are first serve. i wonder. the russian olympic committee has been marking its centennial this week and instead it is in moscow followed up international olympic day which was on thursday and spent some bought up of once along to the celebrations and the luzhniki 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 in that house to 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 elim peons and of the population see that athletes give it their all during the games the exposure would increase regardless of the results. i consider the specialty to be a personal holiday for me since i'm going to limp a 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 campions and once an athlete takes part in the olympics and then olympian forever yep i'm not one i'll bet that you know yet but you know 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 back and many people have a lot of the effort into making an olympic champion athlete see what is that that that. some of the athletes who arrived at the land are still ending for olympic gold and with his social effects in mind rushing to national hockey player might seem with an ideal if he listen as manager of the pointy end of the needle i believe as russia's new head coach. this. that's the four. year one for himself. and the medals.

it look like people who are disappointed by what was it really just a ball of sport with thirty five different experiences to try it out there was something for everyone russia is going to host many significant sports events like the world student game in cuz i mean twenty thirteen next year yes 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 build up of archie must go. and the meantime the ministry of sports torres minute call is sation strictly punish any sport federation failing to prepare athletes properly for international competitions that's according to president nature in advance if the thought in a meeting of a sports council. and a head of state believes the sanctions should be tough. the sports ministry

must watch particular programs through closely into the call corresponding measures if they are not to be carried out properly and that is true could go as far as just burn the professional licenses of course food ration in the worst case you could take them away permanently. a bit of news now on the black and blue half of the lawn have welcomed their fourth manager we're going to world months and 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 to think event as youth system during the start of his playing career guess very late. nor managing two thousand and six finishing fifth in siri in two thousand and nine enter second behind seed to rivals ac milan this season with manager they are not of the of stepping down to take over as director as well we have more essential 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 cannot from a game of the second group stage varies sokolowski sward beating the czech republic sixty nine to fifty five russia play rock bottom 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 sébastien goodsell and mark webber securing the first two spots on the grade there are a nod to all laws are posted only the fourth weakest time on the day despite winning friday's practice in style his teammate philip baum also will start right behind him from fifth while lewis hamilton was third fastest when mcclaren russia and renault was bitterly settle for eleventh place only a 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 everything a corner right is it's very very difficult to get the perfect lap in this is quite

tough but i think here my first run was was quite good i was very happy and mark obviously in the second run. meanwhile saturday was a race day for the latest no that you can stop in austin in the netherlands but american ben spies winning his maiden flight race with some help from his rivals though and opening left crash involving world champion jorge lorenzo and will say that mark this is my challenge on all this probe. to top spot spies opens up a full second advantage of the keystone and there will be back in the head of the australian and on threat of his heels are instead stone of the extent that he's over a lead over lauren so it's twenty one so. 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 are similar the way the weather was maybe it was just all happened for

a reason and we were able to do it today but the race was the race of the stuff in some ways and easy and someone is. now staying with multiple crashes which run to have a life aside to them would have a collisions frequently causing injuries the following emmett's of bike crash though thankfully only resulted in a few lofts for the spectators the money track has seen as special thrilling moments as a full side fulfillment a long fringe trumpery though no form of an accident ever came close to the wanted befehl teammate serial and somebody come here the pair losing control of their eyes during itself 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 every one of the two you are getting a kick out of the situation as the powerful further and further down the standings come yet however i was able to regroup from prostration and managed to qualify for the final of the finishing seventeenth.

now that was useful coming up next is the weather stay with our team. twenty years ago in the largest country in. the search results of. what had been each. church began to churn. where did it take a. inflation
