At that time, Lena had a faculty in Vladivostok University, and she often took some tour groups from China, earning a lot of money. She is one of the few little rich women among Russian friends I know. Unlike some mercenary tour guides, Lena is sincere about this job and has made many real friends with a little academic spirit.
Later, I filmed a program on Beijing TV, and I gradually became familiar with it. To be fair, at first, my view of Russians was "bears who like reading". This nation is indifferent to some arrogance, good at jumping on ice lakes with bare hands, like fighting and oil painting, and full of contradictions that cannot be reconciled.
However, from Lena and her friends, Lao Sa saw another Russia-only by knowing that snow has a thousand colors can you really understand a Russian. Fighting countries actually have their pains and subtleties.
And then ... an epidemic. Lena can't do this program without a tour group. In order to keep her Chinese level, she talked with friends in Beijing and stayed in Hu Kan for some time.
Unexpectedly, after talking too much, I suddenly felt that I had some special gains. Lena herself is a history teacher at Vladivostok University. Her ancestor is the Soviet Red Army. As a tour guide, she is full of strange legends and stories. Therefore, as a member of the fighting nation, what she told us about Russia is quite different from what we usually know.
Because once a tiger ran into Vladivostok, Lena said that Prince Philip, the husband of the Queen of England, ran to the Sino-Russian border to chase the tiger and had disappeared.
Because when talking about Wang Yaping's extravehicular activities, Liu Bing said, Do you know why Russia gave up using monkeys and chose dogs in space experiments?
Because a friend asked how to visit the Kremlin, Lena said that there were more than a dozen schemes for magic change's Red Square in the Soviet era, and each one was chilling-by the way, Lenin's mausoleum was originally a part of the zoo.
Because when talking about Khrushchev eating Peking Duck, Liu Bing said that the czar actually ate some very strange food.
……
Most importantly, because of its powerful function, WeChat always sends a photo or two to prove that it is "true" every time she tells stories about fighting nations similar to The Adventures of Monkhousen.
In this way, I ended the topic of "5,000 cats save Leningrad" with her today. Lao Sa finally couldn't help it and discussed with her whether to jointly hold a live broadcast or something. Liu Bing doesn't think this is appropriate. She said that in fact, all the Russians she talked about knew about it, and some Russians introduced it online, but foreigners didn't know about it, so they didn't reject it. She also doesn't understand that people in China today are interested in the topic "How bodyguards defend Stalin and Lenin".
Actually, that's what I said. If the live broadcast really starts, it will definitely become Lena's reality show, and Lao Sa will have no problem. I am jealous.
Finally, I asked if I could turn what you said into an article.
"Well, I can guarantee that these things are true." Liu Bing said, "When you write a book in the future, don't forget to add my name-and QQ number, so that when there is no virus, there will definitely be many tour groups looking for me."
therefore ...
Let's start with Five Thousand Cats Saving Leningrad.
5,000 cats, if each line is 5 meters, will go from Tiananmen to Tongzhou. ...
This is one of the most developed cities in Russia, with thousands of patrolmen alone. Why do you need cats and 5000 cats to save it?
According to the archives found by Lena, in 1944, there were indeed 5,000 cats transported from the Far East to Leningrad to save the city's buildings, cultural relics and artworks. They come from Irkutsk, Tyumen and even Omutsk.
At that time, the battle between the Soviet Union and Germany was turning into a counterattack, and tanks and planes were sent to the front line from the east of the Urals all night. But in such a tense train, the Soviet Union specially allocated a batch of wagons with heating, and was responsible for sending these cats to Leningrad, which had just been rescued from the long-term German attack-a treatment that Soviet tanks did not have. But helpless, cats are animals from warm temperate zones. Without heating, they will be frozen into popsicles everywhere.
Under the care of the top leaders of the Soviet government, these cats got special treatment-in fact, all of these 5,000 Siberian cats were successfully sent to Leningrad, except for a few who may self-harm due to claustrophobia and other problems. On their rescue list, the first one is the Winter Palace.
It turned out that these cats were brought here to deal with the rat damage caused by the German invasion.
194 1 year, the Germans attacked Leningrad and the fighting lasted for 872 days. 1942 The hardest winter, it is said that 7000- 10000 people will starve to death here every day. The brutal war has made the city unrecognizable, and the cats in the city have been ravaged-these cats used to catch mice have either starved to death or been eaten by people or other animals.
Like most old Soviet cities, Leningrad before the war had a large number of large buildings with wooden structures. From the18th century, people began to rely on cats to kill rats in these buildings, protect the buildings themselves and protect the cultural relics in those museums. At the same time, reusing chemicals will not help. Finally, it is found that Russian cats are ruthless and efficient when facing mice.
And the disappearance of cats made Leningrad's mice multiply. During the siege, including the Winter Palace, the basements of these buildings were full of mice (hungry people can catch cats, but it is not easy to catch mice in complex environments) because mice have the habit of grinding their teeth. They eat furniture, wooden wallboard, beams and communication lines in buildings, which is more terrible than termites and will spread dangerous plagues.
Take the Winter Palace as an example. Although the most precious cultural relics have been sent to the Urals for preservation after the war, there are still some works of art in the basement, as are other museums. With the prosperity of the mouse family, those houses that were not destroyed by the war are also in jeopardy. They have caused great damage to the building structure and threatened the precious works of art in the building.
For residents, this is as dangerous a threat as a German bomb. So after Leningrad 1943 just got in touch with the outside world, a group of cats were included in the imported materials. At that time, a loaf of bread often meant a life, and the price of a cat was equivalent to ten loaves of bread-it could protect a building from falling down in winter.
In order to solve this problem, as a fighting nation, the Soviet government has always taken a simple and rude way-ordering the Far East to prepare 5000 cats and transport them to Leningrad to save the market!
They did it, and the cat did its duty to save Leningrad and the works of art in Leningrad.
Well, if you don't believe this story, you must go to Leningrad next time, near the Winter Palace-
Of course, cats can be found. These cats are basically descendants of Siberian cats. They are still defending the Winter Palace, which has become a living witness to the achievements of our ancestors.
