Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sokol was a planned high speed train in Russia. It was to be a successor of the ER200 for use on the Moscow-St. Petersburg mainline, and was designed to operate at a cruising speed of 300 km/h. A prototype was built in 1997 and tested by Russian High Speed Railway Shareholding Co. The Sokol project was cancelled in 2002. Instead of a Sokol-based design, high speed trainsets based on the Siemens Velaro were procured from Siemens in Germany. The Sapsan trains have been operating on the Moscow-St.Petersburg line since December 2009. Данное издание не является оригинальным....

The reactionary Adjutant General Khrapov, newly appointed governor-general of Siberia and soon-to-be minister of the interior, is murdered in his official saloon carriage on his way from St. Petersburg to Moscow. The killer, disguised as Fandorin, boards the train at Klin, where it has been delayed by snowdrifts on the line. He leaves a knife bearing the initials "CG" (Combat Group) thrust up to the hilt in his victim`s chest and escapes through the window of the carriage. Fandorin is first arrested for the crime, but quickly released when the train pulls into Moscow and the General`s staff realise their blunder. The murder threatens the career of Prince Dolgorukoi, Moscow`s elderly governor-general, and Fandorin`s greatest fan. He asks...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Crime and Punishment is a novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky that was first published in the literary journal The Russian Messenger in twelve monthly installments in 1866.

Exiled in Paris, tiny, one-hundred-year-old Mathilde Kschessinska sits down to write her memoirs before all that she believes to be true is forgotten. A lifetime ago, she was the vain, ambitious, impossibly charming prima ballerina assoluta of the tsar’s Russian Imperial Ballet in St. Petersburg. Now, as she looks back on her tumultuous life, she can still recall every slight she ever suffered, every conquest she ever made. Kschessinka’s riveting storytelling soon thrusts us into a world lost to time: that great intersection of the Russian court and the Russian theater. Before the revolution, Kschessinska dominated that world as the greatest dancer of her age. At seventeen, her crisp, scything technique made her a star. So...
One of the world`s greatest novels, Crime and Punishment is the story of a murder and its consequences-an unparalleled tale of suspense set in the midst of nineteenth-century Russia`s troubled transition to the modern age. In the slums of czarist St. Petersburg lives young Raskolnikov, a sensitive, intellectual student. The poverty he has always known drives him to believe that he is exempt from moral law. But when he puts this belief to the test and commits murder, there results unbearable suffering. Crime and punishment, the novel reminds us, "grow from the same seed." "No other novelist," wrote Irving Howe of Dostoyevsky, "has dramatized so powerfully the values and dangers, the uses and corruptions of systematized thought." But...
