Life in Russia

Look at the wonderful fragment of the concert of the musician Alexey Arkhipovsky. Melody called "The Road Home."

I would like to tell about little-known side of any war. Of course, in any war the soldier is the main force. However, the soldier will not be able to fight without weapons and without food. Therefore, supply for the army is very important for the victory over the enemy. And propagandize this idea for the people in the rear is it very important. Slogans in these posters should be simple and clear. Such as the famous slogan: "Everything for the front, everything for victory." Or these slogans can be such:

Meadowland (Classic text)

Oh Field, my field, my wide field,

The heroes ride over the field,
hey, the heroes of the red army.

You girls, cast a glance,
cast a glance in our direction,

Wave far down the road
Eh, the happy road

Hey, girls, look,
we are ready to engage the enemy

Our fleet-footed horses
our fast-driving tanks

Aaaaaah... Aaaaaaah...

Our fleet-footed horses
our fast-driving tanks

Hey, while on the collective farms,
the work is efficiently progressing,

Today we are scouts,
today we are keeping watch.

You girls, look here,
girls, wipe off your tears!

The louder let us sing our song,
hey, our pugnacious song.

Oh Field, my field, my wide field,

The heroes ride over the field,
hey, the heroes of the red army.

The Northern Sea Route - the shortest sea route between the European part of Russia and the Far East, historically rooted  unified national route for transportation cargos in the Arctic. The importance of this route for Russia is permanently increasing. From behind the considerable melting of ice on the Northern sea the stream of transported cargos has increased considerably. And by 2020 it should reach fifty million tons and become the main route of cargos delivery in the Asian region.

Aviation of the Northern fleet has started to patrol the Northern sea route. Flight missions in polar latitudes fulfilled the crew of the Il-38 and Tu-142. The main tasks for the pilots is it ensure the safety of navigation and implementation of aerial reconnaissance in the Arctic waters.

The Northern fleet already was here in the autumn of 2011 year. Then for the first time along the Northern sea have passed grouping of military ships. Headed this mission the nuclear missile cruiser "Peter the Great". Now and naval aviation on the IL-38 starts regular patrols of strategic importance to the country's shipping route. "Planes fly over long distances in the air up to 10 hours, - says Sergey Checherov, Acting Chief of the Northern Fleet naval aviation - they can perform various tasks, from searching submarines to assist vessels in distress."

The Ilyushin Il-38 is a maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare and anti-shipping aircraft. In spite of the fact that the aircraft was developed in 1967 and is gradually becoming obsolete, he is still able to perform their tasks. Production comprised up to 65 aircraft.

The unit of currency of Russia is the ruble. One ruble is equal to 100 kopecks. Now used coins  in denominations 1, 5, 10, 50 kopecks and coins in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10 rubles. So look modern Russian kopecks. 

And here is a modern Russian rubles in coins.

Coins of 1 and 5 kopecks are practically not used. gradually cease to be used coins of 10 and 50 kopecks. Probably the smallest coin, for which you can buy something it's a coin of 1 ruble. For example, 1 ruble worth a box of matches.

In addition, in Russia now used such banknotes: 5, 10, 50, 100, 1000, 5000 rubles. The banknote in 5 rubles now replaced by a similar coin and is very rarely used. The banknote of 10 rubles is gradually being replaced at  the coin.

What you can buy at 5 rubles? For five Russian rubles you can buy a small bar of chocolate or you can buy ballpoint pen, or this money will suffice for short local call by the cell phone (2-3 minute). 

What you can buy at 10 rubles? For ten Russian rubles you can buy a small bun or newspaper.  

50 rubles it's a bottle of beer and chips (local production) or it's 2-3 trips by bus on city.

For 100 rubles it is possible to buy a double cheeseburger with small bottle of cola or a luminescent energy-saving lamp or charger for mobile phone.

500 rubles is enough for 2 bottles of vodka, juice (2 liter), two kilograms of apples, bread (750 grams) and tea in pack (100  grams) or for that money you can buy a cheap cell phone.

 
The dinner in inexpensive cafe or restaurant on the average costs 1000 rubles. Or for the same money it is possible to buy ticket on the train from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

The minimum subsistence level in Russia about 5000 rubles (on this money it is possible to live about a month). Certainly, this doesn't include payment for the apartment, electricity and water.

5000 rubles will suffice for hotel accommodation within 2 days (hotel of 2 stars).
