Pavel Stepanovich Nakhimov was born on July 5 1802. He was one of the most famous admirals in Russian naval history, best remembered as the commander of naval and land forces during the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War.

Born in the Gorodok village of Vyazma uyezd (district) of Smolensk Governorate. Nakhimov entered the Naval Academy for the Nobility (Morskoy Dvoryanskiy Korpus) in Saint Petersburg in 1815. He made his first sea voyage in 1817, aboard the frigate Feniks ("Phoenix"), to the shores of Sweden and Denmark. Soon afterwards he was promoted to the rank of non-commissioned officer. In February 1818 he passed examinations to become a midshipman and was immediately assigned to the second Fleet Crew (Flotskiy Ekipazh) of the Russian Imperial Navy's Baltic Fleet.

At the beginning of his naval career, Nakhimov's experience was limited to the voyages in the Baltic Sea and a more extensive trip from the White Sea port ofArkhangelsk to Kronstadt naval base near St. Petersburg. His lucky break came in March 1822, when he was assigned to the frigate Kreiser ("Cruiser"); the vessel took part in a round-the-globe expedition commanded by well-known Russian explorer Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev, who had already undertaken several such voyages.

During the three-year voyage, Nakhimov was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. On conclusion of this adventure, he received his first award, theOrder of Saint Vladimir IV degree.He returned to his native Smolensk and was assigned to the 74-gun warship Azov, which made its maiden voyage from Arkhangelsk to Kronstadt in autumn of 1826.

Arseny Alexandrovich Tarkovsky ( June 25, 1907, Elisavetgrad – May 27, 1989, Moscow) was a prominent Soviet poet and translator. He is considered one of the great twentieth century Russian poets. He was also the father of influential film director Andrei Tarkovsky.

Biography

Family

Tarkovsky was born on June twenty-fifth N.S. 1907 in Elisavetgrad, Kherson Governorate, Russian Empire (now Kirovohrad, Ukraine) to the family of a bank clerk, Narodnik, and amateur actor of Polish origin Aleksandr Tarkovsky (Aleksander Tarkowski) and his Ukrainian wife Maria Rachkovska.

Youth

In 1921, Tarkovsky and his friends published a poem which contained an acrostic about Lenin. They were arrested, and sent to Nikolayev for execution. Tarkovsky was the only one that managed to escape.

Career

By 1924 Tarkovsky moved to Moscow, and from 1924-1925 he worked for a newspaper for railroad workers called "Gudok", where he managed an editorial section written in verse.

In 1925-1929 he studied literature at a university college in Moscow. At that time he translated poetry from Turkmen, Georgian, Armenian and Arabic.

During World War II he volunteered as a war-correspondent at the Army Newspaper Boevaya Trevoga (War Alarm). He was wounded in action in 1943. The leg wound he received caused gaseous gangrene, and Tarkovsky had to undergo six gradual amputations.

Arseny Tarkovsky was mainly known as a translator of Abu'l-Ala-Al-Ma'arri, Nizami, Magtymguly, Kemine, Sayat-Nova, Vazha-Pshavela, Adam Mickiewicz, Mollanepes, Grigol Orbeliani and many other poets.

Tarkovsky's first collection of poetry, Before snow, was published in 1962.

He lived mostly in Moscow and Peredelkino and died on May 27, 1989 in Moscow. In 1989 he was posthumously awarded the USSR State Prize.

Yury Petrovich Artyukhin (born on June 22, 1930 – August 4, 1998) was a Soviet Russian cosmonaut and engineer who made a single flight into space.

Artyukhin graduated from the Soviet Air Force Institute with a doctorate in engineering, specialising in military communication systems. He was selected for the space programme in 1963 and would have flown on the Voskhod 3 mission had it not been cancelled. He made his single flight on Soyuz 14 in 1974, where his area of expertise was presumably put to good use.

He left the space programme in 1982 and held various positions in space-related fields. Most notably, he was involved in the development of the Soviet space shuttle Buran and in cosmonaut training.

He died after a long battle with cancer.

He was awarded:

Hero of the Soviet Union

Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR

Order of Lenin

Order of the Red Star

Medal "For Distinction in Guarding the State Border of the USSR"

Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov (18 March 1844 – 21 June 1908) was a Russian composer, and a member of the group of composers known as The Five. He was a master of orchestration. His best-known orchestral compositions—Capriccio Espagnol, the Russian Easter Festival Overture, and the symphonic suite Scheherazade—are staples of the classical music repertoire, along with suites and excerpts from some of his 15 operas. Scheherazade is an example of his frequent use of fairy tale and folk subjects.

Rimsky-Korsakov believed, as did fellow composer Mily Balakirev and critic Vladimir Stasov, in developing a nationalistic style of classical music. This style employed Russian folk song and lore along with exotic harmonic, melodic and rhythmic elements in a practice known as musical orientalism, and eschewed traditional Western compositional methods. However, Rimsky-Korsakov appreciated Western musical techniques after he became a professor of musical composition, harmony and orchestration at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in 1871. He undertook a rigorous three-year program of self-education and became a master of Western methods, incorporating them alongside the influences of Mikhail Glinka and fellow members of The Five. His techniques of composition and orchestration were further enriched by his exposure to the works of Richard Wagner.

For much of his life, Rimsky-Korsakov combined his composition and teaching with a career in the Russian military—at first as an officer in the Imperial Russian Navy, then as the civilian Inspector of Naval Bands. He wrote that he developed a passion for the ocean in childhood from reading books and hearing of his older brother's exploits in the navy. This love of the sea might have influenced him to write two of his best-known orchestral works, the musical tableau Sadko (not his later opera of the same name) and Scheherazade. Through his service as Inspector of Naval Bands, Rimsky-Korsakov expanded his knowledge of woodwind and brass playing, which enhanced his abilities in orchestration. He passed this knowledge to his students, and also posthumously through a textbook on orchestration that was completed by his son-in-law, Maximilian Steinberg.

Rimsky-Korsakov left a considerable body of original Russian nationalist compositions. He prepared works by The Five for performance, which brought them into the active classical repertoire (although there is controversy over his editing of the works of Modest Mussorgsky), and shaped a generation of younger composers and musicians during his decades as an educator. Rimsky-Korsakov is therefore considered "the main architect" of what the classical music public considers the Russian style of composition. His influence on younger composers was especially important, as he served as a transitional figure between the autodidactism which exemplified Glinka and The Five and professionally trained composers which would become the norm in Russia by the closing years of the 19th century. While Rimsky-Korsakov's style was based on those of Glinka, Balakirev, Hector Berlioz, and Franz Liszt, he "transmitted this style directly to two generations of Russian composers" and influenced non-Russian composers including Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy, Paul Dukas and Ottorino Respighi.

Aleksei Vladimirovich Berezutski (born 20 June 1982 in Moscow) is an association footballer who played defender. He began his professional career in 1999 at the age of 17 in Torpedo-ZIL. He is now playing for CSKA Moscow. He tends to play as a central defender but he can play as fullback, wingback, defensive midfielder or even as a winger. He is a defender who can join attacks from the wing. He scored CSKA Moscow's first goal as they came from behind to win the 2005 UEFA Cup Final.

Aleksei started to play football in sport school Smena in Moscow. He is married and has a daughter named Alyona. His identical twin brother, Vasili, is also a CSKA defender.

Berezutski's current contract with CSKA Moscow runs until 2011.

Berezutski is a Russia national football team regular, making 32 appearances since 2003.Aleksey took a big part in Russia's second goal against England in a vital euro 2008 qualification match which Russia won 2–1. He was on the attack and took a shot from just outside the box which Paul Robinson could only parry away. Roman Pavlyuchenko then quickly ran to it and touched it in to the net.

Aleksei was selected Russia's captain for the 0–3 friendly defeat against Romania, though it was speculated that Hiddink only gave him the captain's armband so he could differentiate between Aleksei and Vasili.

He was confirmed for the finalized UEFA Euro 2012 squad on 25 May 2012.

Following his side's Champions League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on 3 November, Berezutski (along with colleague Sergei Ignashevich) tested positive for the banned substance sudafed. The two players were provisionally suspended until the case was heard by the European governing body's disciplinary committee on 17 December, according to a UEFA statement. It was later revealed that they had taken a cold medicine which had not been reported, and both players were suspended for 1 game, which was applied retroactively.

Alexander Alexandrovich Frolov (Russian: Александр Александрович Фролов; born June 19, 1982) is a Russian professional ice hockey player who is currently playing forAvangard Omsk of the Kontinental Hockey League. In an 8 year National Hockey Leaguecareer he played with the Los Angeles Kings and the New York Rangers.

Frolov was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round, 20th overall, in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. He had been playing in Russia's third-tier hockey league with Lokomotiv-2 Yaroslavl, then stayed in Russia for two more seasons, moving up to the second-tierRussian Supreme League (RSL) and first-tier Russian Super League (RSL) with Krylya Sovetov Moscow.

Signed to a three-year contract with the Kings in July 2002, Frolov made his NHL debut in2002 for the Kings, scoring his first NHL goal, a game-winner, in his seventh game on October 25, against Mike Richter of the New York Rangers.Frolov finished his rookie season with 14 goals and 31 points. After improving to a team-high 24 goals and 48 points the following season, Frolov returned to the Russian Super League in 2004–05 due to theNHL lockout. He began the season with CSKA Moscow and finished second in team scoring to Nikolai Zherdev despite completing the campaign with Dynamo Moscow.

Frolov became a restricted free agent before the 2005–06 NHL season and after turning down a three-year deal, he signed a longer term five-year, $14.5 million contract in August 2005. In the first year of his new contract, he scored his first NHL hat trick on November 13, 2005, in an 8–2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.Later that season, Frolov was named to Russia's 2006 Winter Olympic team in Torino and suffered a partialseparated shoulder. He missed approximately a month with the Kings when he returned,but still managed a 54-point season in 69 games.

In 2006–07, Frolov continued to improve and recorded a career-high 35 goals and 71 points, second in team point-scoring to Mike Cammalleri. He finished second in team-scoring for the second consecutive year to Anze Kopitar in 2007–08 with 67 points, despite missing 11 games due to a groin injury suffered in November.

An unrestricted free agent after the 2009-2010 season, signed with the New York Rangers on July 27, 2010 for 1 year, $3 million. On January 8, 2011, Frolov suffered a torn ACL of the right knee after Anaheim Ducks forward Brad Winchester fell over Frolov's leg and missed the remainder of the 2010-11 season after he underwent surgery. Frolov registered seven goals and nine assists for 16 points, along with eight penalty minutes in 43 games during his only season with the Rangers.

Ю́рий Влади́мирович Андро́пов (род. 2 (15) июня 1914[1][2], станция[3]Нагутская, Ставропольская губерния (ныне село Солуно-ДмитриевскоеАндроповского (бывшего Курсавского) района Ставропольского края) — 9 февраля 1984, Москва) — советский государственный и политический деятель, генеральный секретарь ЦК КПСС (1982—1984), председатель Президиума Верховного Совета СССР (1983—1984), председатель Комитета государственной безопасности СССР (1967—1982).

Сведения о происхождении Андропова весьма запутанны и противоречивы.

Отец Владимир Константинович Андропов — железнодорожный служащий, окончил или учился в Московском институте железнодорожного транспорта. Работал телеграфистом на станции Нагутской. Умер от сыпного тифа в 1919 году.

Мать Андропова, учительница музыки Евгения Карловна Флекенштейн, была, со слов самого Ю. В. Андропова, приёмной дочерью уроженцев Финляндии — торговца часами и ювелирными изделиями Карла Францевича Флекенштейна и Евдокии Михайловны Флекенштейн, которая после смерти Карла Флекенштейна в 1915 году занималась делами мужа. Развелась с отцом Андропова вскоре после рождения сына. Второй раз вышла замуж в 1921 году. Умерла в 1927 году.

Образование 

Моздокская семилетняя железнодорожная фабрично-заводская школа (учился в 1923—1931 годах, окончил полный курс). Рыбинский речной техникум (учился в 1932—1936 годах, окончил).

Заочно окончил Высшую партийную школу при ЦК КПСС (1947). Учился заочно на историко-филологическом факультете Карело-Финского государственного университета: по одним сведениям — ещё до войны, в 1940—1941 годах, по другим — в 1946—1951 годах

Биография 

Удостоверение Председателя КГБ СССРЮрия Андропова

После смерти отца вместе с матерью перебрались в Моздок.

После окончания семилетки в 1931 году Андропов работал помощником киномеханика при железнодорожном клубе на станции Моздок, рабочим на телеграфе. Член ВЛКСМ с 1930 года. С августа по декабрь 1930 года Юрий Андропов работал сначала рабочим на телеграфе, а с декабря 1930 года по апрель 1932 года — учеником и помощником киномеханика Клуба железнодорожников. С 1931 года работал матросом речного флота на Волжском пароходстве. «Прошу принять меня в техникум речного судоходства на отделение судоводительное или судостроительное. В настоящее время я работаю помощником киномеханика, рабочий стаж имею 2-годичный» (Андропов). В 1932 году поступил в Рыбинский речной техникум, который окончил в 1936 году, после чего работал на Ры­бинской судоверфи им. Володарского. В 1935 году женился на дочери управляющего Череповецким отделением Госбанка Нине Ивановне Енгалычевой, которая училась в том же техникуме на электротехническом факультете, а впоследствии работала в Ярославском архиве НКВД. У них было двое детей — Евгения и Владимир.

Мало кто знает о его проблемах с первой женой, с сыном от первого брака и вообще, как он появился в Политбюро. Рассказывают, он становился белым как бумага, когда его спрашивали про первую супругу или про автобиографию периода 1933—1935 годов" (Внук Брежнева Андрей Брежнев).

В 1936 году стал освобождённым секретарём комсомольской организации техникума водного транспорта в Рыбинске. Затем его выдвинули на должность комсорга (комсомольского организатора) Рыбинской судоверфи.

Также в 1936 году он был снят с воинского учета из-за сахарного диабета и проблем со зрением.

Назначается завотделом горкома комсомола Рыбинска, затем завотделом обкома комсомола Ярославской области. Уже в декабре 1938 году он избирается первым секретарём Ярославского обкома ВЛКСМ. Жил в Ярославле в номенклатурном доме на Советской улице (дом 4). В 1938—1940 годах возглавлял областную комсомольскую организацию в Ярославле.

Andrey Andreyevich Markov

Andrey (Andrei) Andreyevich Markov (Russian: Андре́й Андре́евич Ма́рков, in older works also spelled Markoff) (14 June 1856 N.S. – 20 July 1922) was a Russian mathematician. He is best known for his work on stochastic processes. A primary subject of his research later became known as Markov chains and Markov processes.

Markov and his younger brother Vladimir Andreevich Markov (1871–1897) proved Markov brothers' inequality. His son, another Andrei Andreevich Markov (1903–1979), was also a notable mathematician, making contributions to constructive mathematics and recursive function theory.

Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman was born on 13 June 1966 is a Russian mathematician who has made landmark contributions to Riemannian geometry and geometric topology.

In 1994, Perelman proved the soul conjecture. In 2003, he proved Thurston's geometrization conjecture. This consequently solved in the affirmative the Poincaré conjecture, posed in 1904, which before its solution was viewed as one of the most important and difficult open problems in topology.

In August 2006, Perelman was awarded the Fields Medal for "his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow." Perelman declined to accept the award or to appear at the congress, stating: "I'm not interested in money or fame, I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo." On 22 December 2006, the journal Science recognized Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture as the scientific "Breakthrough of the Year", the first such recognition in the area of mathematics.

On 18 March 2010, it was announced that he had met the criteria to receive the first Clay Millennium Prize for resolution of the Poincaré conjecture. On 1 July 2010, he turned down the prize, saying that he considers his contribution to proving the Poincaré conjecture to be no greater than that of Richard Hamilton, who introduced the theory of Ricci flow with the aim of attacking the geometrization conjecture.

June 12

Russia Day is the national holiday of the Russian Federation, celebrated on June 12. It has been celebrated every year since 1992. The First Congress of People's Deputies of the Russian Federation adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic on June 12, 1990.

Vyacheslav Ivanovich Polunin (born 12 June 1950) is a Russian performance artist and clown. He is the creator of the stage spectacles, “Asisyai-revue”, “Slava's Snowshow” and “Diabolo”. In 1968, Polunin started the semi-professional pantomime theater, Litsedeyi. In 1981, his first very successful television performance took place on the New Year's Eve program “Goluboy Ogonyok”. It was a part of his now famous “Asisyai-revue”. In 1985, during the Moscow World Festival of Youth and Students he organized a master class of pantomime attended by many Western mimes. By 1988, Polunin's theater Licedei had created five highly successful shows: “Dreamers”, “Eccentrics on the attic”, “From the life of insects”, “Asisyai-revue” and “Catastrophe”. In 1989, Polunin organized The Caravan of Peace, in which mimes from different parts of the world were on the road for half a year giving street performances in many European cities. Later, he started the Academy of Fools, the center devoted to the "resurrection of the carnival culture in Russia". The project was started with Polunin's own money, but when the money was spent, the project was frozen. In 1994, Polunin declared that he would make a few commercially successful shows in the West and then return to continue the work of the Academy with the money earned. Among the shows he organized were the highly successful “Slava's Snowshow” and “Diabolo” devoted to "comical meditation on life, death, and the beauty of the universe".

Евге́ний Ю́рьевич До́долев (11 июня 1957, Москва) — советский и российскийжурналист и медиаменеджер. Ведущий программы «Взгляд». Член творческих союзов России (журналистов, литераторов, писателей) и американской организации «Комитет защиты журналистов» (англ. CPJ). В качестве главного редактора руководил газетами «Новый Взгляд» и «Московская комсомолка», деловыми изданиями «Компания» и «Карьера»; в качестве издательского директора — журналами «Профиль», «Русский BusinessWeek», FHM Russia, XXL, «Крестьянка»,«Домовой», Moulin Rouge; как исполнительный директор — Издательским домом Родионова. Колумнист газеты «Московский комсомолец» и журнала «Однако», ведёт блог на сайте радио «Эхо Москвы». Автор ряда книг.

Ещё будучи школьником, сотрудничал с «Комсомольской правдой», где в ту пору работал его отец, военный писатель Юрий Додолев. Юнкор выполнял ответственные задания ведущего рубрики «Алый парус» Юрия Щекочихина, с которым много лет спустя выпустил публицистическую книгу-сборник «Процессы. Гласность и мафия, противостояния» (М., «Молодая гвардия»,1989).

Стартовав в качестве корреспондента «Московского комсомольца» (1985), Евгений перешёл в разряд свободных художников и утверждает, что «начальником» обзавёлся всего один раз — когда вместе с Юлианом Семёновым создал бюллетень «Совершенно секретно» (1989). Над концепцией и пилотным номером работал вместе с журналистом АПНАлександром Плешковым, который позднее был, по всей видимости, отравлен в Париже.

Как и многие журналисты-новаторы, интересовался всем, что сопряжено с масскультом; телекритик Наталья Влащенкоотмечала:

В киноведении и театроведении были всплески (чего только стоит период молодёжной редакции «Театральной жизни» в конце 80-х во главе с Андреем Кучеровым и Евгением Додолевым!)

Журналист принадлежит к разряду перестроечных публицистов, отличавшихся «тонким юмором» и сформировавших, по мнению Дмитрия Быкова, новояз 90-х:

Это молодое поколение — в основном дети тех самых шестидесятников Владимир Яковлев, Артём Боровик,Дмитрий Лиханов, Евгений Додолев, Александр Любимов, — уже берёт свое. Представители недавней «золотой молодёжи», выросшие в огромных квартирах или проведшие отрочество за границей, молодые выпускники международного отделения журфака МГУ, они начинают делать погоду на телевидении и в прессе.

Стал первым и единственным журналистом, по материалам которого (в «Московском комсомольце» о валютных проститутках) принимал решение ЦК КПСС (1986) и вносились изменения в Административный кодекс СССР. Эти первые в России статьи о проституции — «Ночные охотницы» и «Белый танец» — вывели газету на общесоюзный уровень цитирования, подняли тираж на рекордный уровень. В итоге получил от Союза журналистов СССР звание «Лучшего журналиста года» (1986), которое продублировал два года спустя (1988). В 2004 году Игорь Свинаренко напомнил читателям «Медведя» шутливое четверостишье Юлиана Семёнова

Peter the Great, Peter I or Pyotr Alexeyevich Romanov (Russian: Пётр Алексе́евич Рома́нов, Пётр I, Pyotr I, or Пётр Вели́кий, Pyotr Velikiy) (9 June [O.S. 30 May] 1672 – 8 February [O.S. 28 January] 1725) ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire from 7 May [O.S. 27 April] 1682 until his death, jointly ruling before 1696 with his half-brother. In numerous successful wars he expanded the Tsardom into a huge empire that became a major European power. According to historian James Cracraft, he led a cultural revolution that replaced the traditionalist and medieval social and political system with a modern, scientific, Europe-oriented, and rationalist system. Peter the Great had two wives, with whom he had fourteen children; three of them survived to adulthood. His eldest child and heir, Alexei, was suspected of being involved in a plot to overthrow the Emperor. Alexei was tried and confessed under torture during questioning conducted by a secular court. He was convicted and sentenced to be executed. The sentence could be carried out only with Peter's signed authorization, and Alexei died in prison, as Peter hesitated before making the decision. Alexei's death most likely resulted from injuries suffered during his torture.
