KIEVO-PECHERSKAYA LAVRA

The Pecherskaya Lavra monastery was founded in 11 century. The building continued in for about 9 next centuries. The name Pecherskaya comes from the word "peshera" (cave) which were situated there. The monks used to live in these caves before the monastery was built. And Lavra is a noble name, which was mostly given to big and significant monasteries. The architectural ensemble of the monastery even today makes the great impression. In the sunny day the blinks of many domes and belfries are blinding the eyes.

The most of the buildings in the monastery date from 17-18 century and are the examples of Ukrainian baroque style. From the 12 century there is only one church left (with just few architectural changes conducted later). This is the church above the main entrance gates and it is called "Nadbramna. It's a miracle that this church has remained after all the misfortunes (attacks, wars and fires). It was built in 1106-1108 as the defense tower. The church itself is situated on the second floor above the gates. Its interior is great. The narrow windows, and the general visual effect of movement upwards create the sense of the raised ease. The construction of the church carries the typical features of Ancient Russian architecture.

Nearly two-thirds of women surveyed across nine countries say it's not unusual for women to stay single into their 30s, and most think that a woman can feel comfortable with her singlehood for nine years longer than she could 20 years ago. Almost one-third plan on postponing c...(RIA Novosti) - Russia's lower house of parliament passed in first reading Wednesday a bill that would ban lawmakers and other officials from using the terms "dollar" and "euro" in domestic economic debates. "When speaking in public, including in the mass media, members of the government must not use foreign currency terms ... to give information about the cost of goods, work, services, property, the sums of closed deals, budget indexes at any level of the Russian budget system, state and muni...Call it the backlash against the backlash. Over the past decade, Americans have increasingly understood that the divorce revolution, fatherlessness and single parent households are harming our children. Now those who view the traditional family as disadvantageous to women are firing back, defending women who choose single motherhood and depicting fathers as superfluous.
