Peterhof [09:17]
Footage I took at the Peterhof palace in St Petersburg set to music from the first symphony by Alexander Glazunov. Unfortunately photography was forbidden inside the palace, but you get some idea of the exterior and grounds.

The Scarlet Sails: St. Petersburg, Russia [06:10]
The Scarlet Sails is a celebration in St. Petersburg, Russia is the most massive and famous public event during the White Nights Festival. The tradition is highly popular for spectacular fireworks, numerous music concerts, and a massive water-show including battle among tens of boats full of pirates on the waters of Neva River. The Scarlet Sails show celebrating the end of school year 2007 was attended by more than one million people. In 2010 public attendance grew up to 3 million, and entertainers were such stars as Cirque du Soleil, Mariinsky Ballet and Antonio Banderas among others. This tradition began here after the end of WWII, when several Leningrad schools united to celebrate the ending of a school year in connection with symbolism of the popular 1922 children's book Scarlet Sails by Alexander Grin. At the first celebration a boat with scarlet sails was sailing along the English Embankment and the Admiralty Embankment towards the Winter Palace. Although it was designed to update the rusty revolutionary propaganda, the "Scarlet Sails" tradition eventually evolved into a massive demonstration of freedom from "schools and rules" and became the most popular public event ever since, celebrating the ending of school year annually. Crowds of about one million people are treated to a wide variety of free entertainment provided by the city of St. Petersburg. Entertainment also includes appearances by popular rock stars, as well as St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra, ballet ...

Dutch Harbor. Aleutian Island [06:55]
That was my first trip to Aleutian Island and I was impressed by the nature and beautiful, amazing landscape of this increadible island. Population is about 5000 people. I've meat a lot of people from Vietnam and Phillipines living and working there besides locals and others who moved to Dutch Harbor for big bucks. The place just breathtaking, island surrounded by lovely mountains and gorgeous Bering Sea. Not a lot of people come here for holidays or vacation but for me it was an escape from noisy, crazy and poluted Los Angeles. I had a peaceful and quite time by touring this island alone. In the past Aleutian Island as well as the rest of Alaska were part of Emperial Russia and Russian Orthodox Church just resembles the history of once to be the Russian America.

Himno de Rusia, en Venezuela | Гимн России, в Каракасе, Венесуэла (2008) [03:59]
Himno nacional de Rusia (o Federación Rusa) interpretado por la Orquesta Sinfónica Juvenil Simón Bolívar, durante la visita del presidente ruso Dmitri Anatólievich Medvédev (Дмитрий Анатольевич Медведевa) el 26 de Noviembre de 2008 a la tumba del libertador y padre de la patria Simón Bolivar, en el panteón nacional de Caracas, Venezuela. Гимн России — один из главных государственных символов России, наряду с флагом и гербом. Spanish/ Español: El Himno Estatal o Nacional de la Federación Rusa (en ruso: Государственный гимн Российской Федерации, Gosudárstvenni Gimn Rossíiskoi Federátsii) es el himno nacional de Rusia. Es una adaptación del himno de la Unión Soviética de 1944, cuya música compuso originalmente Aleksandr Aleksándrov. La letra fue revisada para el himno de la Federación Rusa por Sergéi Mijalkóv, quien proporcionó las letras de las versiones del himno soviético en 1943 y 1977. La revisión elimina todas las menciones a las ideas de Vladimir Lenin y la «irrompible unión» del Estado Soviético, centrándose en su lugar en describir un país extenso y con grandes cantidades de recursos confiados a las generaciones futuras. A finales del año 2000, el presidente Vladímir Putin decidió adoptar el himno, que sustituyó a La canción patriótica, que había sido el himno oficial desde 1990. Este hecho no ha estado exento de polémica, dado que, aunque la letra ya no tiene nada que ver con la Rusia de Stalin, la música es la misma que usaba la Unión Soviética. English/ inglés ...
