🔢 Суздаль
     [ soozdal' ]

🔻The town's history dates back probably to 999 or 1024, and in 1125 Yury Dolgoruky made Suzdal the capital of the Rostov-Suzdal principality.

🔻Set in a fertile wheat-growing area, Suzdal remained a trade centre even after Mongol-led invasions (Suzdal was burned and plundered in 1237).

🔻Eventually, it united with Nizhny Novgorod until both were annexed by Moscow in 1392.

🔻Today, the town operates as an important tourist center, featuring many fine examples of old Russian architecture—most of them churches and monasteries.

🔻What to see in Suzdal:

• The Kremlin (the 10th century, the predecessor of the Moscow Kremlin)
•  Saviour Monastery of St Euthymius
• Wooden Church of St. Nicholas
• St Antipius and Saint Lazarus churches
• Museum of Wooden Architecture
• Neskuchny Museum Izba Traktir
• Cucumber Day Festival with folk music performances

🌋 Камчатка
[ kamchatka ]

🔻Right now, the tallest active volcano in Eurasia is erupting in Kamchatka.

🔻At the end of October, two volcanoes in Kamchatka began to erupt - Klyuchevskoy and Bezymyanny, the ash from its slope of the dome rose to the height of 3.5 km above sea level.

🔻Klyuchevskaya Sopka erupts next to Bezymyanny. Now lava fountains rise up to 500 m above the edge of the volcano's summit crater.

🔻At the volcano station they clarified that for Klyuchevskaya Sopka, lava ejection to such a height is a rather rare phenomenon.
