Manpupuner: Komi

Manpupuner is a mysterious site in the northern Ural mountains, made out of seven rock towers bursting out of the flat plateau, also known as the “7 strong men“. Manpupuner is a very popular attraction in Russia, but not on an international level and information regarding its origin is scarce. We now however that their height and abnormal shapes make the top of these rock giants inaccessible even to experienced rock-climbers. Manpupuner is very hard to reach, it lies in a very harsh environment, but once there you’ll be able to enjoy a view unique in the whole world.

Its installed capacity is 6,400 MW, average annual production is 23,500 GWh, peaked in 2006 with 26,800 GWh. Station constructions include dam, power plant building located near dam, and an additional spillway under construction. The gravity arch type dam is 245 m high, has crest length of 1066 m, crest width of 25 m, base width of 110 m and maximum head of 220 m. The dam consist of solid left-bank dam 246.1 m long, power dam 331.8 m long, spillway dam 189.6 m long and solid right-bank dam 298.5 m long. It is the only gravity-arch dam in Russia of that size, the only other gravity-arch dam is much smaller.

Currently it operates 10 hydro turbines, each with capacity of 640 MW at 194 m head.

The dam forms Sayano-Shushenskoe Reservoir with total capacity of 31.34 km³ and useful capacity of 15.34 km³ and surface area of 621 km².

The plant was designed by Saint Petersburg-based branch of Hydroproject (Russian: «Гидропроект») institute.

Maly Semiachik:Kamchatka

Maly Semiachik (Russian: Малый Семячик) is a stratovolcano located in the eastern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It is a compound stratovolcano located in a 10-km-wide caldera within the 15 x 20 km mid-Pleistocene Stena-Soboliny caldera. Three overlapping stratovolcanoes were constructed sequentially along a NE-SW line, with the youngest cone, Ceno-Semiachik, at the southwest end. A hot, acidic crater lake fills the historically active Troitsky Crater, which formed during a large explosive eruption of Ceno-Semiachik about 400 years ago

Valley of Geysers:Kamchatka

The Valley of Geysers (Russian: Долина гейзеров) is the only geyser field in Eurasia (apart from the Mutnovsky geyser field) and the second largest concentration of geysers in the world. This 6 km long basin with approximately ninety geysers and many hot springs is situated on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East, predominantly on the left bank of the ever-deepening Geysernaya River, into which geothermal waters flow from a relatively young stratovolcano, Kikhpinych. It is part of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, which, in turn, is incorporated into the World Heritage Site "Volcanoes of Kamchatka". The valley is difficult to reach, with helicopters providing the only feasible means of transport.

The Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) is also known as the Amur, Manchurian, Altaic, Korean, North China or, Ussuri tiger. Though it once ranged throughout Western and Central Asia and eastern Russia it is now completely confined to the Amur-Ussuri region of Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai in far eastern Siberia, where it is now protected. It is the biggest of the eight recent tiger subspecies and the largest living felid.[2] Genetic research in 2009 revealed that the current Siberian tiger population is almost identical to the Caspian tiger, a now extinct western population once thought to have been a distinct subspecies, which was extinct just in the wild before it was completely wiped out.[3]

It was found in 1994 near the Tunguska event place. No trees after 100 years.:) By one of theories it's a place where the core of meteorite is situated.

When that meteorite crashes there?

Judging by the trees on the crater, approximately 250 years ago.

The crater has been discovered in 1949. A scientists found the ellipsoidal 600 meters long body 100 meters under the ground but there haven't been any excavations as of yet since the crater is located 200 km away from the nearest village.

I like apartment blocks. I see a lot of people who tell that commieblocks(for me it is vulgar and I prefer tower or apartment block) are ugly, they mar the cityscape,they are awful etc. This is all a matter of taste and living in a tower block is really nice). I remember when I was a little child I used to be delighted by the height and size of Moscow tower blocks. They were the only one maybe in the Soviet Union that began building long buildings with more than 4 entrances higher than 16 stories. In all other cities they were just 9-12-storey buildings.

By the way, as I see Poles like to mock Russian tower blocks. For what reason I do not know because Polish cities are filled up with them either

^^ Me too... They are far better than a lot the kitsch that is being built even nowadays across Russia (and a lot of other countries too). For an example, just look two posts back to that circus in Izhevsk; now that is what i call horrible...

Thank you, Mr. Deegan. The correct word is indeed "exploitist". But I like it more with this particular Russian root - it robs the word "exploitation" of elegance.
