tracery building of the restaurant "Russian Yard" in Sergiev Posad.
The restaurant opened its doors to its first guests in 1992. With a privileged location in the historical city, the atmosphere of Russian life, the abundant traditional cuisine, the restaurant "Russian Yard" has quickly become a landmark, a point of attraction for connoisseurs and lovers of good food, as well as for tourists from all over the world. For foreign visitors a real Russian dinner: borshch, caviar and vodka, becoming another unforgettable memory of Russia.
I wonder what memories or history of good and bad times are in this dilapidated old Church building. What history of the Church and its parishioners lives. Photo taken on the Volga River, Russia. (All Rights Reserved.)
The Goritsky Monastery of Dormition (Russian: Успенский Горицкий монастырь) was a Russian Orthodox monastery in Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia.
It was supposedly established in the early 14th century during the reign of Ivan I of Moscow (Ivan Kalita). In 1382 Tokhtamysh Khan destroyed the town and the monastery with it. According to the legend, Grand Princess Eudoxia of Moscow arrived as a pilgrim the day before the attack and managed to escape the Horde on a raft, covered by fog of the Pleshcheyevo lake. In gratitude for the miraculous salvation, she rebuilt the monastery and established a tradition of Easter rides on rafts across the lake.
All the monastery's manuscripts were destroyed by a fire on June 12, 1722, which is why little is known about its history.
No original architecture was preserved. The oldest parts of the preserved ensemble date to the 17-18th centuries.
The monastery was closed in 1788. In 1919 the Pereslavl-Zalessky Historical Museum was established within its territory.

"Заповедник". Жилгородок, Железнодорожный, Подмосковье
Железнодорожный - ближнее Подмосковье, где земля золотая и, как грибы после дождичка, вырастают ипотечные кварталы. И вдруг, на красной линии одной из центральных улиц, на фоне современных многоэтажек, встречаю эти дома, построенные ещё во время Великой Отечественной. И это не абы какие бараки, проект архитектора Жолтовского, гения московского сталинского ампира.
