Welcome to Rostov-on-Don! Have you ever visited in Rostov-on-Don? No? Then you haven't lived yet! My city is one of the most popular cities in Russia. Everyone knows about Cossacks of the Don. First of all, I want to tell you about the location and some aspects of the history. It is located on the south-east of the East European Plain, on the banks of the Don River, 46 km from where it flows into the Sea of Azov, the distance to Moscow 1094 km. The city has a population of 1,048,000 people, and is a major administrative, cultural, scientific, educational and industrial centre of Russia. The city is a major transportation hub of southern Russia; it is called "Gates of the Caucasus". Now the population is more than one million people. It is not only a big knot of railways and airways but it is also the port of five seas (the Baltic, the White, the Caspian, the Black and the Sea of Asov). First of all, when you arrive in our big city, you should stay in the most popular hotel, which is called "Brilliant". Here the service is the highest class, and also you can eat in the brilliant restaurants, which is the national pride of Rostov. Here you may taste dishes like borshch, uha, solyanka, okroshka, oliviye, pelmeni, vareniki. This restaurant's main feature is its design; it reflects the history of our city. Everyone ought to visit this place, because every tourist may feel the soul of Rostov. Rostov-on-Don has the amazing sights which most people like to visit. These places attract tourists with their marvelous beauty. You can see many of architectural monuments. For example, when my relatives or friends from different cities visit me, I show them sites such as the legendary “Tachanka-Rostovchanka” . It is a majestic sculpture which meets everybody arriving from the south including thousands of passengers of transit transport; and it has been serving as a trademark of the mega polis

    To begin, St. Petersburg serves as a symbol of the corrupt state of society and its influence on Raskolnikov’s actions. For instance, in the first pages of Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov describes the atmosphere of St. Petersburg as “terribly hot [...] with an intolerable stench from the taverns, especially numerous in that part of the city, and the drunkards kept running into even though it was a weekday, completed the loathsome and melancholy coloring of the picture” (Dostoevsky 4). In this case, the imagery of the dirty and disorient city of St. Petersburg is a symbol for the current state of society; imperfect, unequal, and full of corruption. The dysfunctional society of St. Petersburg clearly takes a toll on Raskolnikov, as he quickly finds himself poverty-stricken. In a corrupt society where the wealthy thrive and the poor suffer, he has no choice but to resort to crime in order to make ends meet. Similarly, Raskolnikov’s theory of the extraordinary versus the ordinary serves as a symbol of the imbalance of power in society. For instance, social inequality becomes increasingly apparent as Raskolnikov…

    The Tet Offensive began on January 30th 1968, consisting of a series of simultaneous communist uprisings across 36 provincial and 64 district capitals of South Vietnam. Tet is an undisputed turning point in the war leading to almost immediate de-escalation of US commitment. The importance of Tet lies in its clear exposure of Johnson’s illegitimate claims of progress and the ineffectiveness of previous escalation in Vietnam. This caused a significant loss of support for the war, giving Johnson no choice but to reduce commitment to Vietnam. However, the de-escalation of commitment after Tet may not have been a result of Tet. There were clear problems with the American war effort before the offensive began which contributed to Johnson’s decision to end escalation of the conflict in March 1968. Tet revealed these problems in the war effort leading up to 1968. The review and change of US policy after the Tet Offensive was not necessarily because of the Tet Offensive, rather, the Offensive came at a time when US policy needed to be reviewed. The importance of Tet was that it emphasised the war could only be perpetuated not won. The view that Tet caused (rather than contributed to) American withdrawal from Vietnam is overrated.…

    The 30 year fixed mortgage loan seems to be one of the most popular loans people take out because people get to pay back the money over a stretched period of time. The interest rate on a fixed mortgage rate stays the same throughout the life of the loan. Each monthly payment is equal to the interest on the principal and some of the principal amount. Since some of the principal amount was paid off when the loan was taken out, the interest payment on the remaining principal will be a little less each month. The payment is the same each month so some the principal amount is paid off each month. This loan is so popular because of fixed interest rate and lower monthly payments; however because the term is so long, you will have to pay more interest. These rates have been up and down for months now, but on February 21, 2013, according to The Wall Street Journal, the 30-year mortgage rates were at 3.85%. The way these rates are measured is through percentages because it makes it easier to understand its changes. The periodicity of the 30-year mortgage loan rates happen on a daily basis.…

    The narrative perspective in The Life and Crimes of Harry Lavender establishes the voice of the hard-boiled detective. We read the clichés of the genre – the blond in the bed, the heavy drinking and the hangover, the chaotic apartment – but Day undercuts and rearranges our perceptions by making us realise after a few paragraphs that the narrator is female, not male. This has the effect of establishing the narrative voice as belonging to a multi-dimensional and interesting character, someone who is unconventional and on first meeting certainly seems larger than life.…

    Next up, who are the Russians and the people that inhabit Moscow? The land we know today as Russia began with native inhabitants known as the Slavic People. The term Slav or Slavic would later create the term in the western hemisphere, ‘slave.’ The Slavic people were enslaved by Scandinavian settlers known as the Vikings. The enslavement of the Slavs, created the western term of slave. The Vikings arrived in Russia via the Volga River basin. They came mainly from frozen Sweden, seeking better lands to pillage and farm. Russia turned out to become an extremely fertile land, in which they enslaved the natives and gave it the name we still call it in modern times. The name of Russia comes from the term the Vikings gave themselves, which was ‘Rusk,’ or ‘one who rows.’ A term…
