but are just meters from the disaster zone they say there is no chance any of the forty five on board survived. so the top stories up next as promised. hello and welcome the sun is shining and it's a beautiful day on this program we're taking a look. around the kremlin with a history dating back centuries the whole area is a walking open at museum and the capital has certainly seen some old suicide times over the past few hundred years from stories to legend school every area. full of interesting facts and figures there are a few cities worldwide that resonates with history and culture the way moscow does whether you find yourself in. the kremlin you can spend hours gazing at the various

sites here. a little deeper away from the typical tourist spots and you'll be amazed at the stories that each building an area of the city has. the bolshoi bridge it's a concrete bridge that spans the most of. the streets with red square immediately east of the kremlin built in one hundred thirty seven the bridge has a total of forty meters aides call lanes. with approach is five hundred and fifty four beaches. is pretty extreme on the left of the some of the best views in russia and it's. an international television channels. and we now pass the department store good building built between eighty nine hundred ninety three features an interesting combination of elements of russian

medieval architecture and a steel framework last ruth a similar style to the great months you century train stations of london. today the sea. hundred forty two metre long building boasts a luxurious shopping arcade although it's not cheap so maybe it's best to stick to cultural excursions instead. passing the reconstructed orthodox cathedral of our lady of khazan at the bottom of red square we passed through the resurrection gates is here next to the tacky tourist stalls and just in front of the iberian chapel but you can find a bronze plaque on the floor that gets lots of attention from locals and tourists one thing here is a small coin. ok and here we have it the famous spot so close my eyes make us afraid the court. i hope it comes true as the spot from where all distances from moscow are measured apparently it's good luck to throw

a coin over your shoulder. so far everything is beautiful. i'm still trying to figure out exactly where things are and where i have to see people have been friendly it doesn't seem to have a really small center like a really big area with being a big crowds. and beautiful the buildings are amazing is my first day in the city and i already love it moscow is beautiful splendid in grand. proving all and goes need lord translates as guest house is a large buildings to couple of minutes walk from the kremlin from the fourteenth century the area was the epicenter of trade in moscow with merchants around the world arriving to the spot the building we see now is a result of a major research ration that took place in the one nine hundred ninety s. making it a large business trade and cultural center to host numerous offense each month.

they stop we take a brief to the top left hand side of the kremlin for many years the splendid palace of white stone that stands in the bargain called ski hill has a maze people and this. considered to be one of the most peaceful buildings in the russian capital the situation of the building is rather unorthodox too since the main entrance is from a side street and not from the facade which you can see here moving around the corner take a look at this pretty courtyard this building was erected between seventy eighty four and seventy eighty six by the russian. coffin interestingly enough it was also used as a meeting place for various charities. very striking building reality it was once moscow's first public library in the nineteenth century and today the palaces is the russian state library i wonder what it looks like inside let's find out. inside it's almost like going back in

time the interiors of bright historic grant. just shook this room. you can imagine the space be used for large parties instead it was used. for the looks of the blue and the space was actually used as a library for most of its time. and looking through the window in the second floor here i think this room might have one of the best views in russia. the building is believed to have been designed by famous russian architect of a silly version of no documented evidence of his involvement with the house exists however as the records of projects were lost in a fire at the moscow town twenty archives. two books now and let's take a look at one of the libraries here today the right wing of the house houses the manuscripts the palm and while it's left wing houses the music department and the

maps department of the russian state library. it's rather strange to hold a book which is hundreds of years old. crypts he is in great condition. for people. held it before me. even more interesting is that the depths of the area underneath the passage of house is said to be one of the several possible locations of the legendary library of ivan the terrible now that is something i would like to see. moving on. as it's known in russian is a contemporary central exhibition hall the venue houses dozens of various displays and interests and the enough the building was not meant as a cultural venue in the first place in eight hundred eighty eight the structure was arrested as the first power plant in the center of moscow but it was abandoned shortly to become a vast gallery

a century later. to our next location now and not all the museums around in the kremlin are dedicated to history and those who are interested in nature don't need to travel further from the city center as well as moscow's oldest and largest bazaar logical museum is located just a short walk from the red square this museum of the moscow state university was founded in seventy nine and since then the funds that make it in the first ten of such collections in the world she teaches display represents all kinds of animals that we inhabit our planet it's easy and comprehensive to walk around the museum of the displays organized in a systematic order so that visitors can explore various species from single celled organisms to be animals like the one behind my back. don't be surprised if you see many students who are walking around the kremlin as the building across the street from the midwest square is home to the faculty of

journalism of the moscow state university. the university bears the name of the outstanding scientists of the eighteenth century the north off. known as the old university building the main complex was moved to spring hills area in the middle of the twentieth century and now it's the future journalists who are lucky to study right in the heart of moscow. our final location square is the moscow logical museum. the physical changes between medieval moscow to the modern day capital are quite significant in the various models situated in the museum you can see buildings and street plans for the various stages in history one of the main differences is the existence of a river which once used to lie along the top side of the kremlin where moscow was

rebuilt after the fire of eighteen twelve the league lin i recall was confined to an underground tunnel several years later and the prosecution's key bridge was buried interesting stuff like a visual history book at the museum here you can see fuel cells how the city's changing cityscape came into effect the museum opened in ninety nine to seven i was located seven meters underground on the exact spot where a large. took place during the mid ninety's ninety's the main space is sensitive around this part reconstruction of the old seventeenth century bridge which you can see here and during the excavations a whole range of other items such as metal coins and household objects were also found many of which you can also see on display here inside the museum. the team involved in the project militia late foundations of stone buildings from the eighteen months centuries they also discovered kobold on wooden streets as well as

chambers and other structures. allowed to discover traces of the handicraft industry and to reconstruct the life of people who inhabited this district centuries ago none of these want to. during mannish square not many people realize that they are walking on top of a museum but nevertheless venue is popular and there are even more visitors during weekends when we have experienced interactive educational events. whether it is through its beauty all grotesqueness may be up for debate but what condi delight is that moscow inspires and has done for hundreds of years as a city almost eight hundred seventy years old mosco has many reminders of its traumatic past and for visitors and even locals it's quite often the small and intricate sites and locations that make up the cultural thread one of the city. yes the kremlin might be the powerhouse and provide the fabulous photo opportunities but it's also the areas around command mogs which also hold by two stories to the

makeup of the city. while you'll sadly be impressed with the long lists of cultural laws around the area of the kremlin that seems so all well fortunately that's all that's all we have left on this week's program i'll see you again at the same time next week i will be safe i various and stayman spots around say and sell them for me and the rest the same from a square here about. teach

me.

a chosen few could appreciate this game which was recently welcome to the olympic family the history of golf in russia began as any other conference did so it was the private expansive clubs for the wealthy people but now we are in the moment when i expect that number of go first will grow dramatically in the nearest future quarter of a century on and gold still large there remains beyond reach for every day amateurs here in moscow the us alone russia where there is one obvious but certain amount of obstacle while the lack of necessary infrastructure which would make goal for the vailable for the masses is hampering the sport's ambitions to stake a claim to the market of the biggest country on earth that sometimes people say ok the climate in russia too cold to build their goal failed you see in finland and they were using winter and they play bingo and i'm sure that we just have to

change the mind to people to that it's not just. it's have to be sport for people and it's very healthy what i can see more healthy than many not a sports the capital's inner city golf course pioneered the sport for muscovites it's a private club but opens its doors to the public and the media once a year to stage the opening tournaments that will set the pace for the remainder of a short russian season on fourteenth in moscow having a five month season which is maybe short as in the world. you see the weather's nice big golf courses in the buffet it's buffet conditional you see the greens define the grass is finally caught so everything is fine so we're having russian professional golfers would be surprised contestants. on any of the globe significant sewers for now that is however the country is making small steps towards wider exceptions into the gulf in the arena and the russian open which will
