Stress: Afraid to Fly Pilots have trouble understanding why so many people are afraid to fly. They think that if a person just understands how safe it is, they will be fine on a plane.

The most basic way we regulate emotion is by approaching what appeals to us and distancing from what frightens us. When boarding a plane, that basic system is lost. We need to

1 Weakness of Russia Underlay everything (see weaknesses 1–7) 2 World War I The First World War was the key factor. The army was badly led and poorly equipped.

How far was the First World War the main cause of the fall of the Romanovs in 1917? I think that overall the main cause for the fall of the Romanovs was the First World War.

27/09/2012 One day during my studying in the 9th grade my literature teacher gave me a book for light reading – it was “Pushkin: biography of the writer” by Y. M. Lotman. Up to that time I had read many Pushkin’s masterpieces and adored “The Sun of Russian Poetry” with all forces of my young heart.

The Russian Ark by Aleksandr Sokurov is an amazing accomplishment for the film industry. It was the first film to be shot in one single take that lasted for ninety-six minutes. What I especially liked about Russian Ark is the history that is told in the film. Since the whole thing was done in the Hermitage Museum, I liked how the European flowed through the “halls of time” experiencing the greatness of Russia. That being said, I had a hard time following the film. Throughout the whole film, the
