2012.02.23 Volga Ski Track.wmv [05:18]
The event was held on Feb 23 2012 at Volga river ice reservoir near Kazan. The race distance was about 33km. The racers as cross country skiers as kiters also should visit 4 checkpoints and find special signs there. Some checkpoints hidden in island bush. or bridge columns so you need to do some back country walk and use gps navigation. по ходу гонки по маршруту казань -зеленодольск, дистанция около 33км, нужно было посетить 4 кпп и найти и зафиксировать в карточке знаки каждого кпп.. Первый знак в ветровой тени высокого берега и второй на опоре моста, находился достаточно легко, то 3й знак мы не смогли найти самостоятельно. Он был спрятан в глубине острова и со льда совершенно неприметен. Были жпс координаты, но сдохли батарейки и пришлось около часа ждать лыжников-туристов и уже по их наводке попали на знак. Кстати на этом знаке угостили вкусным чаем! В Зеленодольске я чуток продлил себе дистанцию и сгонял еще до ж\д моста через Волгу пофоткаться. Четвертый кпп он же и финиш был на станции Зеленый Дол.

Rusakov Workers' Club - Russian avant-garde [03:42]
The Rusakov Workers' Club (Russian: Дом культуры имени И.В.Русакова (рабочий клуб)) in Moscow is a notable example of constructivist architecture. Designed by Konstantin Melnikov, it was constructed in 1927-28. The club is built on a fan-shaped plan, with three cantilevered concrete seating areas rising above the base. Each of these volumes can be used as a separate auditorium, and combined they result in a capacity of over 1000 people. At the rear of the building are more conventional offices. The only visible materials used in its construction are concrete, brick and glass. The function of the building is to some extent expressed in the exterior, which Melnikov described as a "tensed muscle". The building was included in the 1998 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund to call attention to its very poor condition. According to the Fund the roof and foundations had weakened, the columns were in need of reinforcment, and brick walls were cracking. The site was listed again in the 2000 World Monuments Watch. With a grant from American Express, World Monuments Fund provided a much-needed replacement roof for the building. The project was overseen by the Moscow Committee for Monuments Protection, which provided additional funds. In 2005 a commemorative coin (3 ruble, silver) was issued by the Central Bank of Russia, featuring the Rusakov Workers' Club building. en.wikipedia.org
