Bright, full of colorful colors, morning mists and cozy evenings, the time disposes to travel.</p>\n\n<p>Do you want to rustle up colorful foliage, enjoy the splendor of golden hills and the freshness of morning mists? There are many places in Russia where this time of year is especially beautiful.</p>\n\n<h1>Karelia</h1>\n\n<p>In autumn Karelia looks even more picturesque than in summer. If you come here in September-October, you will be surprised at how comfortable and relaxing your vacation can be: there are no crowds of tourists, stifling heat and swarming insects. Except for swimming and river rafting, you can enjoy the same activities as in summer: sightseeing, hiking, boating, biking, quad biking. The temperature in September stays at +10...+15 °C during the day and reaches zero at night. In October the mark of the thermometer becomes even closer to zero. Fishermen also love Karelia: 25% of the territory of the republic is occupied by rivers and lakes, so it is difficult to stay without a catch. If you bring a folding barbecue, you can enjoy fresh soup or barbecue.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/The_most_beautiful_fall/Karelia.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Autumn in Karelia</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1>Ples</h1>\n\n<p>In small towns, the influence of man on nature is not as great as in megacities. Provinces have preserved their color and unique charm. Autumn Ples is a place where time has stopped, here you will find peace and inspiration. Vacationers are welcomed in private city estates and authentic hotel complexes. </p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/The_most_beautiful_fall/Ples.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Autumn in Ples</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1>Altai</h1>\n\n<p>The Altai expanses are amazing: the mountains mottle with golden and scarlet hues, even the rivers change their color and become bright turquoise. Since September, the tourist flow is significantly reduced, you can calmly walk and make beautiful photos without pushing through the crowd. There are so many tourist routes and attractions that you can't see everything in one trip. In September and October the daytime temperature remains plus: +8 ... +4 °C, rains are not rare.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/The_most_beautiful_fall/Altai.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Autumn in Altai</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1>Bashkortostan</h1>\n\n<p>In autumn the Republic acquires new colors, the most fascinating views open from the uplands. Muradymovskoe Gorge, Yuraktau Shihan, Mambet Rock, Inzerskiye Zubotchatches mountain range are transformed beyond recognition. Autumn landscapes will impress those who are in Bashkiria for the first time and those who come here every year. The climate in September and early October is quite mild, the temperature reaches +15 °C during the day, in the evening it is better to light a hearth for a fire and enjoy hot tea or other drinks.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/The_most_beautiful_fall/Bashkortostan.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Autumn in Bashkortostan</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1>Seliger</h1>\n\n<p>Autumn Seliger is perfect for hiking in the forests and mountains, evening gatherings around the campfire. Cycling tours, horseback riding, catamaran rides are waiting for lovers of active recreation. The Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery is open for visitors at any time of the year. The lake of almost a hundred kilometers in size is especially loved by fishermen, here you can find pike, perch, pike perch, pike perch, bream and even eel.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/The_most_beautiful_fall/Seliger.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Autumn on Seliger</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1>Dombai</h1>\n\n<p>The change of season in the mountains is especially beautiful - the peaks are covered with snow, and the forests change their emerald colors to scarlet and gold. Dombai welcomes tourists all year round. In the fall you should come here for hiking in picturesque places, mountaineering, overnight stays in a tent with a view of the starry sky. Regardless of the chosen route, the natural beauty will accompany you everywhere. The temperature stays within +10...+14°C during the day and drops to +6...+3°C in the evening.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/The_most_beautiful_fall/Dombai.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Autumn on Dombai</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1>Pereslavl-Zalessky</h1>\n\n<p>A small town on the shore of Lake Pleshcheyevo turns different colors with the arrival of autumn, so even an ordinary walk will be romantic and fascinating. The ancient churches and buildings preserved almost in their original form look especially beautiful surrounded by purple foliage. Most of the sights are in one way or another connected with Peter the Great. Another reason to come here in September is the annual aeronautics festival. Daredevils can not only enjoy an unforgettable spectacle, but also go up in a hot air balloon.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/The_most_beautiful_fall/Pereslavl-Zalessky.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Autumn in Pereslavl-Zalessky</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1>Adygea</h1>\n\n<p>Snow-capped mountains, golden fields, rushing rivers and waterfalls - Adygea is created for those who love secluded vacations in nature. There are as many variants of autumn leisure here as there are sights: active tourists will find ecological trails, and depending on the level of preparation you can choose a trip lasting a few days or a couple of hours. Lovers of relaxed rest can relax at the thermal springs. Markets, cafes, restaurants, as well as hotels and recreation centers are open all year round, so your vacation can be as comfortable as possible.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/The_most_beautiful_fall/Adygea.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Autumn in Adygea</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1>Kaliningrad</h1>\n\n<p>Many examples of old German buildings have been preserved in Kaliningrad. The westernmost region of Russia is especially beautiful in early fall - old paving stones and Gothic architecture surrounded by scarlet foliage look fantastic. Major festivals take place in the summer, but you won't be bored, there are plenty of sights to see - the Curonian Spit, pre-war villas of Raushen, the Cathedral, the Fish Village, the Royal Gate, the museum in the bomb shelter. The fall weather in Kaliningrad is changeable, but quite comfortable. The temperature decreases very smoothly, and cold weather does not come until November.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/The_most_beautiful_fall/Kaliningrad.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Autumn in Kaliningrad</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1>Peterhof</h1>\n\n<p>Peterhof is known not only for its fountains, but also for its amazing autumn landscapes - some trees have already turned scarlet, while others still remain untouched and retain their emerald green. Every day the parks change, bursting with new colors. Palaces, pavilions, fountains and other architectural monuments look magnificent in this frame. You won't be able to run under the fountains in the fall, but we recommend you to visit Marlinskaya Alley, which will lead you straight to the Marli Palace and the Golden Mountain, the bay and the Montplaisir Palace.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/The_most_beautiful_fall/Peterhof.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Autumn in Peterhof</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>And now about pleasant things, about prizes!

Russia has given the world a significant number of great and world famous painters. Here are some of the world famous Russian painters.</p>\n\n<p>Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, great Russian painter and graphic artist, one of the most famous Marinists of the 19th century, collector and patron of art. Painter of the Chief Naval Staff (from 1844), full Privy Counselor. Academician (since 1845), professor (since 1847) and honorary member (since 1887) of the Imperial Academy of Arts; honorary foreign member of a number of art societies of European countries. He is actually Armenian Hovhannes Ayvazyan (Հովհանննես Այվազյան).</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Russian_painters/Stormy_sea_at_night_1849.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Aivazovsky's painting Stormy sea at night,1849.</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Isaak Levitan, a great Russian painter and draftsman, one of the greatest and most prolific masters of realistic landscape painting of the second half of the 19th century. Academician of the Imperial Academy of Arts (1898). In fact, he is a Jew.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Russian_painters/Birch Grove, 1885-1889.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Painting by Levitan Birch Grove, 1885-1889</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Yuli Yulievich Klever, a great Russian painter. Recognized as a landscape painter of salon-academic style. Academician (1878) and professor (1881) of the Imperial Academy of Arts. He is in fact, a German (Julius Sergius von Klever).</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Russian_painters/Yuly_Klever_-Winter Sunset (Winter Evening) 1897.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Painting by Klever Winter Sunset (Winter Evening), 1897</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi, great Russian painter, master of landscape painting, representative of the Russian school of luminism. He is in fact, a Greek (Αρχίπ Κουίντζι).</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Russian_painters/Evening_in_Ukraine_1878.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Painting by Kuindzhi Evening in Ukraine, 1878</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin, a great Russian painter, draftsman and printmaker, one of the main masters of realistic landscape of the second half of the XIX century. And he is, surprise surprise, Russian!</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Russian_painters/Ivan_Shishkin_-Rye 1878.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Painting by Shishkin Rye, 1878</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>If you have a question as to how this happened, there is a simple answer. Russia has always been a multinational country. People of different nationalities lived and successfully engaged in creative work in it. All of them were considered Russian. This is how they are known all over the world, as great Russian painters.</p>\n\n<p>And now about pleasant things, about prizes! First of all, each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form.

This event was a huge three-day celebration, a triumph of Russian literature, which at that time was beginning to gain world recognition. Klyuchevsky, Turgenev, Aksakov... But the main sensation was Dostoevsky's Pushkin speech, which was the will of the writer, who died six months later.</p>\n\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Boldinskaya_Autumn/Pushkin_monument.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Monument to Alexander Pushkin by Alexander Opekushin in Moscow.</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n\n<p>Dostoevsky began his speech with a quotation from Gogol, who half a century earlier had called Pushkin \"an extraordinary and perhaps the only phenomenon of the Russian spirit\", \"the Russian man in his development, as he may appear in two hundred years\". Dostoevsky called Pushkin also the phenomenon of prophetic and spoke not only and not even so much about the poet himself, but about the future destiny of Russia. The idea that the character of an entire nation can be judged by the work of one (even if brilliant) poet, did not seem strange or surprising to anyone. On the contrary, by the second half of the XIX century, it had already managed to gain general recognition. And Russian literature was felt by everyone as the main national treasure and the center of the spiritual life of the entire nation.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>A few words about one of the most vivid periods in the work of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin - the Boldino Autumn.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September 1830, 193 years ago, Alexander Sergeevich came to the Nizhny Novgorod village of Boldino. Here he wrote the last two chapters of \"Eugene Onegin\", putting an end to the main novel of his life, to which he gave more than seven years. And in another three months he composed the poem \"A House in Kolomna\", \"Little Tragedies\" (\"Don Juan\", \"The Miserly Knight\", \"Mozart and Salieri\", \"A Feast during the Plague\"); \"Belkin's Tales\" (\"The Shot\", \"The Blizzard\", \"The undertaker\", \"The Station Keeper\", \"The Peasant Girl\"), \"The Tale of the Popes and his Worker Balda\", \"The Story of the Village of Goryukhin\", \"Besy\" and three dozen more poems, literary articles ...</p>\n\n\n<p>Such a creative explosion of world literature does not know more. It is not without reason that the Boldin Autumn is called the pride and mystery of national and world culture, a mystery imbued with magic, witchcraft power.</p>\n\n \n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Boldinskaya_Autumn/Boldinskaya_Autumn.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Yevgeny Mukovnin's painting \"Pushkin in Boldino\".</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n \n\n<p>Friends, October is coming, the autumn season! May it become for us, go players, a period of dawning of our skills and success in the game. </p>\n\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Boldinskaya_Autumn/Hikaru_and_Sai_play_Go.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Shindou Hikaru and Fujiwara no Sai play Go.</figcaption>\n</figure>\n \n\n<p>There will be no scandals, intrigue or investigations at this tournament. We want calm, peace and goodness, although it never happens like this anywhere.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>And now about pleasant things, about prizes! First of all, each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form.

"description": "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"https://<pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament>/<tournament.css>\">\n\n<p>Friends!!!</p>\n\n \n\n<p>Grandpa Frog, who is an official member of the <a href=\"https://online-go.com/group/8605\">GoMagic</a> group on the OGS, is hosting an unofficial September (2023) <a href=\"https://Gomagic.org\">GoMagic</a> Jazz Standards tournament.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>A jazz standard, also an evergreen, is a musical composition as part of the general jazz repertoire. A jazz standard - most often a popular song, less often an instrumental piece - is used by a jazz musician as the basis for individual or ensemble arrangements, in a spontaneous music-making setting or in a recording studio.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>Jazz standards, these are tunes that everyone knows and that have become classics of jazz music. Let's take a look at one of the jazz standards, the composition Now's the Time by Charlie Parker.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>Charlie Parker is one of the few musicians who radically influenced the development of jazz, the greatest saxophonist of all time. Together with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and pianist Bud Powell, Parker (nicknamed Yardbird or Bird) is considered the pioneer of bebop. As a performer, Parker possessed a unique sound, an unusually developed harmonic ear and an amazing phraseological logic. In the 50s of the last century it was already impossible to play modern jazz without taking into account Parker's achievements.</p>\n\n \n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src = \"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/jazz_standards/Portrait_of_Charlie_Parker_in_1947.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Portrait of Charlie Parker in 1947</figcaption>\n</figure>\n \n\n<p>Now's the Time. The theme was written in 1945. It is a blues based on simple repetitive riffs. Parker decided to use a simple intonation pattern that was always favored by musicians in his hometown, Kansas City. The first recording featured trumpeter Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie (playing piano), and double bassist Curley Russell and drummer Max Roach. So let's listen to the jazz standard Now's the Time.</p>\n\n \n\n<video src=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryNtmkfeJk4\" controls></video>\n\n<embed src=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryNtmkfeJk4\" width=480 height=270></embed>\n\n<p>\n If you can't see the video on the page use this\n <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryNtmkfeJk4\">link</a> to access it.\n</p>\n \n\n<p>There will be no scandals, intrigue or investigations at this tournament. We want calm, peace and goodness, although it never happens like this anywhere.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>And now about pleasant things, about prizes! First of all, each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form. The link to the book will be posted in the tournament chat for a few days after the tournament starts. Since the chat room is periodically cleared of messages, the link will be removed after some time. If you haven't had a chance to download the book, post in the tournament chat and I'll post the link again.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>Second, GoMagic.org has generously sponsored prizes for participants of the unofficial tournaments that I host.These prizes come in the form of coupons, which can be used towards the purchase of GoMagic courses and memberships. In each group of our the third round, participants ranking 1st and 2nd will be awarded these valuable prizes.As the host, I will personally deliver the coupons to the winners via private message on OGS</p>\n\n \n\n<p>Something about the regulations. Please note that each move adds 1 day to the time, but no more than 3 days. Time is suspended for the weekend. This means that you have to make one move per day.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>\n\n Regards,<br>\n\n Grandpa Frog.\n\n</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://info.flagcounter.com/qmvB\"><img src=\"https://s11.flagcounter.com/count2/qmvB/bg_FFFFFF/txt_000000/border_CCCCCC/columns_5/maxflags_20/viewers_0/labels_0/pageviews_0/flags_0/percent_0/\" alt=\"Flag Counter\" border=\"0\"></a>\n\n\n<p>P.S. <strike>James Bond will return in the movie \"From Russia with love\"~~</strike></p>\n\n<p>Tournaments <a href=\"https://Go magic.org \">Go Magic</a> will continue in October with the \"Boldinskaya Autumn\" tournament.</p>",

"description": "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/tournament.css\">\n\n\n<p>Friends!</p>\n\n<p>Granpa Frog, who is an official member of the <a href=\"https://gomagic.org\">Gomagic</a> group on the OGS, is holding an unofficial July (2023) <a href=\"https://gomagic.org\">Gomagic</a> \"Vulgarity\" tournament.</p> \n\n\n<p>As my spiritual mentor Rie Rasmussen says: \"Darling! Don't confuse Claude Monet and Edouard Manet. It's vulgar!\" I'm sure that no matter how well you play go, you sometimes act vulgar, that is, confuse these painters. Drink your painkillers, now we're going to surgically correct your flaws. Hehe.</p>\n\n<p>Édouard Manet was a French painter, master of etching, who was at the origins of Impressionism. The paintings of Édouard Manet, who rid painting of academic clichés, remained misunderstood for a long time.</p> \n\n<p>During Manet's lifetime, the public was not ready to accept his world view, as well as the creative views of the artist's associates Camille Pissarro, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Pierre Renoir and Frédéric Basil. It seems unbelievable now, but the first exhibition of the reformist painters failed miserably.</p>\n \n<p>The first painting with which Edouard Manet enters contemporary art life in Paris was the famous Breakfast on the Grass, which appeared in the Salon des Outcasts in 1863.</p>\n\n<img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/vulgarity/breakfast_on_the_grass.jpg\" width=\"600px\" alt=\"the soviet calendar for every day\">\n\n<p>The scandal that erupted around \"Breakfast on the Grass\" was unparalleled. The same thing happened again with \"Olympia\" in 1865. Both paintings were in the spotlight and subjected to ridicule, ostracism in the press, which is not shy in expressions, called the artist and his characters. But the plot of \"Breakfast on the Grass\" is really incomprehensible. On the one hand depicts an absolutely mundane scene: at that time it became customary to go on a weekend picnic, often on the banks of the Seine. The Impressionists would produce many paintings on this theme, including Georges Seurat's famous Grand Jatte.</p>\n\n<p>This custom of certain segments of Parisian society developed quite a long time ago. But viewers were puzzled by Manet's portrayal of the picnic, and could never find an unambiguous explanation. It hasn't been found until now, because it simply doesn't exist. The first thing that surprised was the completely naked woman in the foreground in the company of two dressed men, one of whom is pointing his hand at her, or maybe not at her, dressed not in modern fashion, but in the fashion of an earlier time.</p>\n\n<p>In the background is a body of water, which is wonderfully painted: the artist paints the water and the landscape with great skill. And there, bent over, stands another half-naked woman. It is impossible to explain why he joins such a group here.</p>\n\n<p>The naked woman is a favorite model of Manet, which will be the heroine of many paintings. She will also appear in \"Olympia\" - Victorine Meuran. She was a professional model, it painted not only Manet. She attracted artists with her unusual appearance, but she did not end very happily: she tried to become an artist herself, began to paint and even a little bit of exhibition, but drugs and alcohol ended her life.</p>\n\n<p>In Breakfast on the Grass, those features of Manet's work mentioned above already appear. The group in the foreground goes back to a painting by Raphael, which has not survived, but was very well known from an engraving by Raimondi. And the female figure in the background goes back to one of Leonardo da Vinci's images. This resemblance was immediately revealed, and reproaches began immediately against the artist for lack of imagination. In these visual, precisely visual, rather than semantic formulas, Manet squeezes modern life.</p>\n\n<p>Claude Monet, the French painter credited with inventing one of the most fascinating art movements of the 19th century, created an enormous number of incredible paintings. During his nearly 70-year career, Claude Monet (life years 1840-1926) created about 2,500 works of art, and all the while he diligently adhered to the ideals of the Impressionist art movement.</p>\n\n<p>It was because of his painting describing the sunrise in the port of Le Havre that the new artistic movement would later be so called.</p>\n\n<img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/vulgarity/Impression_Rising_Sun.jpg\" width=\"600px\" alt=\"the soviet calendar for every day\">\n\n<p>Monet also painted his version of Breakfast on the Grass, which unfortunately has not survived in its original form. But you can find it online.</p>\n\n<p>There will be no scandals, intrigues or investigations at this tournament. I want calm, peace and goodness, although it never happens that way anywhere.</p>\n\n<p>And now for the nice part. Each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form.</p> \n\n<p>Something about the rules. Please note that each turn adds 1 day to your time, but no more than 3 days. Time is suspended on weekends. This means that you must make one move per day.</p> \n\n<p>Respectfully,<br>Grandfather Frog.</p>\n\n<p>P.S. Friends, an unprecedented event in the monthly unofficial Gomagic tournaments! Cash prizes will start appearing in tournaments. Most likely from this tournament already. Prizes for the first three prize winners and for everyone who could play to the end of the tournament. Keep an eye on this tournament description. There will be an official announcement in the coming days. \"Aaaaaaaaaaah, we've made it, brothers and sisters!\" cries Grandpa Frog scary!</p>",

"description": "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\"href=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/tournament.css\">\n\n<p>Friends!</p>\n\n<p>Granpa Frog, who is an official member of the <a href=\"https://gomagic.org\">Gomagic</a> group on the OGS, is holding an unofficial May (2023) <a href=\"https://gomagic.org\">Gomagic</a> \"May Holidays\" tournament.</p> \n\n<p>The USSR had, and Russia has, a great many holidays and anniversaries. In fact, a memorable date can be found every day. The USSR used to publish an annual \"tear-off\" calendar like this: <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/may_holidays/calendar.jpg\" width=\"600px\" alt=\"the soviet calendar for every day\"> It consisted of 364 pages, one page for each day. When the day passed, the page had to be torn off. Each day of the calendar was marked with some memorable date. The Day of the Taking of the Bastille (July 14) was especially popular with people. Perhaps this popularity was due to the fact that Soviet citizens did not like to drink alcoholic beverages (vodka) for nothing. They always tried to drink in honor of some holiday. And Bastille Day was a holiday to drink in honor of. The fact that the capture of the Bastille was very far away from Soviet people in time and space gave a special irony to the celebration of this holiday. Which caused its popularity.</p>\n\n<p>So, there are a lot of holidays and memorable dates in Russia. And May is no exception among other months. May also has many holidays celebrated in Russia. The holidays are varied and I will tell you about some of them.<img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/may_holidays/time_for_awesome_stories.jpg\" width=\"600px\" alt=\"this is the time for awesome stories\"></p>\n\n<h3>Labor Day - May 01</h3>\n\n<p>On May 1, 1886, Chicago workers marched in a rally - people appealed to the government to improve working conditions: establish an 8-hour workday instead of 12-15-hour days, raise wages, stop the exploitation of child labor.</p>\n\n<p>In 1891, the Russian revolutionary Mikhail Brusnev and his comrades-in-arms held the first rally in St. Petersburg. The rally was attended by the working class. Years later, after the events of the October Revolution in 1917, the holiday acquired official status and was called \"International Day. In the same year, the first parade, dedicated to May Day, took place in the Soviet Union. And 9 years later, in the summer of 1928, the whole two days - May 1 and May 2 - were declared official holidays.</p>\n\n<h3>Victory Day - May 09</h3>\n<p>On this day the Soviet Union ended a difficult and bloody Great Patriotic War against Nazi Germany and its allies, which lasted from 1941 to 1945. On May 8, 1945 by a decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet the next day - May 9 - was proclaimed Victory Day and made a day off.</p>\n\n<p>Eyewitnesses remembered May 9, 1945 for a lifetime. At 6 a.m. sharp loudspeakers throughout the country announced that the war had ended and peace had come. It was a long-awaited holiday for every Soviet person. People congratulated each other and cried with happiness. There was a celebratory salute in Moscow in the evening - thousands of artillery cannons were fired.</p>\n\n<p>But Victory Day was a holiday only until 1947, after which it was canceled. It was restored only under the CPSU Secretary General Leonid Brezhnev in 1965, when the Great Victory was 20 years old. Since then, and to this day in Russia celebrate its holiday parades and salutes. People honor the memory of the dead, lay bouquets at monuments and honor veterans.</p> \n\n<p>It is one of the most important holidays in Russia.</p>\n\n<h3>Day of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy - May 13</h3>\n\n<p>May 13 is the Day of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy. This holiday was established 22 years ago, on July 15, 1996, in accordance with the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy.</p>\n\n<p>The very history of the emergence of the Black Sea Fleet is a history of continuous struggle, expansion of Russia to the south to protect its borders and neutralize potential adversaries. Officially, the Black Sea Fleet was founded in 1783 by order of Empress Catherine II. Its creation became possible after the Russian Empire incorporated the lands of the Crimean Khanate, primarily the Crimean Peninsula. Azov and Dnieper military flotillas, created during the Russian-Turkish war of 1768-1774, became the basis for the creation of the Black Sea Fleet. On May 13, 1783, 235 years ago, 11 ships of Azov military flotilla entered Akhtiarskaya bay on the south-western coast of the Crimea (now Sevastopol bays). In 1784 the 17 ships of the Dnieper military flotilla were transferred here. It is in memory of these events that the Day of the Black Sea Fleet is celebrated on May 13 every year.</p>\n\n<h3>Day of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy - May 18</h3>\n\n<p>May 18, Russia celebrates the Day of the Baltic Fleet, one of the four fleets in the Russian Navy and the oldest among all existing fleets. The history of the Baltic Fleet is inextricably linked with the history of our country, the founding of St. Petersburg, the development of the land around the Gulf of Finland and the mouth of the Neva, with the era and the name of the first Russian emperor Peter I and his reforms that changed the country. For many years the Baltic Fleet became the shield that reliably protected the new capital of Russia and the country's borders on the Baltic.</p>\n\n<p>As the foundation date of the Baltic Fleet historians took May 18, 1703, although the first ships of the future fleet laid in late 1702 and in the very early winter of 1703 it was decided to build a powerful fleet in the Baltic, then was drawn up an approximate list of ships future fleet, the first of which built in Novgorod and Pskov shipyards. Nevertheless the birthday of the fleet was May 18, the date is tied to the first victory, which was won on the water. On the night of May 18 30 boats with soldiers of the Semenovsky and Transfiguration regiments, led personally by Peter I and his closest associate Alexander Menshikov, attacked two Swedish warships, which stopped at the mouth of the Neva.</p>\n\n<p>The Swedes did not know that the fortress of Nyenshants, near which they anchored, had previously been seized by Russian soldiers. Peter I skillfully took advantage of this carelessness of the enemy. Thanks to the rapid and sudden night attack the boat \"Gedan\" and the battleship \"Astrild\" of the Swedish squadron of Admiral Nummers were captured. On board the ships were 18 guns and 77 men of the crew, of whom 58 were killed in the assault and 19 were taken prisoner. The glorious victory of the Russian arms was the first military engagement on the Baltic, and the war moved from the land to the sea. The victory was symbolic and was of great significance for the formation of the entire Baltic fleet.</p>\n\n<h3>Day of Slavonic Script and Culture - May 24</h3>\n\n<p>Every year on May 24, the Day of Slavonic Script and Culture is celebrated in Russia. This holiday is connected with the names of two Slavic enlighteners, Cyril and Methodius, creators of Slavic alphabet, preachers of Christianity, first translators of liturgical books from Greek into Slavic.</p>\n\n<p>They are the Bulgarian enlighteners Cyril and Methodius, who created the first Slavic alphabet that we use to this day. They named the alphabet after the younger brother - Cyrillica.</p>\n\n<p>The history of Cyrillic is inseparably connected with Orthodoxy. Using this alphabet brothers made translations of Holy Scripture and a number of liturgical books from Greek.</p>\n\n<h3>All-Russian Library Day - May 27</h3>\n\n<p>This holiday originated in 1995 and was established by the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin.</p>\n\n<p>The day of May 27th was not chosen by chance. This day is the foundation date of the first public library in Russia, the Imperial Public Library, which is called today the National Library of Russia.</p>\n\n<p>May 27, 1795 is the foundation date of the library.</p>\n\n<h3>Border Guard Day - May 28</h3>\n\n<p>May 28 is Border Guard Day. This holiday of green caps and berets entered the calendar in 1994 on the basis of the presidential decree \"About the establishment of the Frontier Guards` Day\", which confirmed the Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers from 1958 about the establishment of May 28th as a holiday for all frontier guards of the Soviet Union.</p>\n\n<p>The date of the holiday is not chosen by chance, on this day in 1918 the Council of People's Commissars issued a decree, which established the Border Guard of the RSFSR.</p>\n\n<p>Despite the fact that the holiday appeared in the second half of the 20th century, the frontier guards appeared a long time ago. The whole history of the state is connected with guarding borders and the soldiers guarding the borders have always existed. The first written mention of the Russian frontier guards dates back to 1360, when Metropolitan Alexis gave his blessing to the guards and stanitsa men to monitor the units of the Horde.</p>\n\n<p>There will be no scandals, intrigues or investigations at this tournament. I want calm, peace and goodness, although it never happens that way anywhere.</p>\n\n<p>And now for the nice part. Each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form.</p> \n\n<p>Something about the rules. Please note that each turn adds 1 day to your time, but no more than 3 days. Time is suspended on weekends. This means that you must make one move per day.</p> \n\n<p>Respectfully,<br>Grandfather Frog.</p>",
