Samara
Samara

Samara

The history of Samara starts with this prediction, made by the metropolitan of Moscow and all Russian Church Alexei, Samara heavenly patron. In 1357, passing by the confluence of 2 rivers - Volga and Samara - he stopped in the hermitage situated on the bank of the Volga River in the year 1357. At that time Samara was just a small settlement, as it is shown on the maps, drawn in the year of 1367 by brothers Francesco and Dominico Pizziano, the Venetian merchants.

HMS Victory
I hope you don’t mind if I return to a subject that has already been mentioned at least twice before in ‘School English’. It is a topic that is dear to the heart of all true Englishmen!

Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot
In 1605, Guy Fawkes and a group of conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603 and English Roman Catholics who had been persecuted under her rule had hoped that her successor, James I, who had a Roman Catholic mother, would be more tolerant of their religion.

The Scottish Parliament
On 12 May 1999, the new Scottish Parliament met in Scotland’s capital city of Edinburgh. The parliament elected Sir David Steel as its Presiding Officer (or Speaker). In his opening speech, Sir David made a direct connection between the new Scottish Parliament and the last Parliament to meet in the Scottish capital in 1707. In that year, the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh and the English Parliament in London voted for the Act of Union. The Act united Scotland, England (and Wales) to form a new state: the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Scotland retained its own church, education and legal systems, but ceased to exist as an independent state. From 1707 until 1999, all important decisions about Scotland were taken by the British parliament and government in London.

Northern Convoys (2)
In the year 2005, we expect instant news – reports of events in real time. This is especially true for reports of wars and terrorist or other disasters. There often seem to be more TV crews at the scene than there are soldiers or police, all falling over each other to be the first to bring the news to our radios and screens.

1066 A year of deceit, despair and death
The trouble started on the 5th of January 1066 when King Edward died at the age of 61, childless and leaving no sure evidence of whom the next heir was to be. This caused all the trouble.

Food in History of Britain

Some Russians think that the main food of an Englishman is porridge. What do the British eat, in fact? Can you give the typical menu of the British (English, Scottish, Irish)?
At one time, English food did not vary greatly, except between classes. By this I mean that people of a certain class tended to eat similar things, but their food would be very different from that of another class.

Punishments
Tell us, please, about the system of corporal punishment which existed in Great Britain in the past.

o As with most countries in the world, the punishments enforced in the past seem brutal by our standards. Many of them were simply cruel, but generally just reflecting the mores of the age.

Restoring Railways
The English are a naturally conservative people; we instinctively resist change and yearn for the past. Many people take an interest in history by preserving old buildings and structures. Even those who do not take an active part in such work often visit ancient castles, houses and gardens or watch with interest the many TV programmes about archaeology and restoration work. One aspect of this is the proliferation of preservation societies dedicated to the task of restoring old railway lines and running old trains, frequently with steam engines, on them.
