Originally Detinets, like most of Novgorod buildings were wooden, and XIV-XV centuries, the walls of the wood is gradually replaced by stone. The Kremlin was a cultural and political center of the Novgorod Republic. It was going to Veche and maintained records, it acted in military campaigns Novgorod militia, and in 1478 it was in the Kremlin announced the annexation of Novgorod to Moscow. The Kremlin is sure to visit the main shrine Novgorod region – Hagia Sophia. Founded in 1044-45 by Prince Vladimir's – the eldest son Yaroslav the Wise, Hagia Sophia is very similar to his sister, Kiev.

This five-naval,'s cross-building, which has, however, only three apses (speaking), and five domes. Unlike Kiev Sophia Novgorod inherent large monumental, stark power, simple forms and avarice decor. Bypassing the temple on the west side note Magdeburg (Sigtunskie) Gate – Military trophy Novgorod, brought in the xii century the Swedish Sigtuna. In relief depicted on the gates of scenes from the Old and New Testaments surprising artistic skill and taste. There is also a figure who made the gate masters – casters Rikvina (with weights in the right and tongs in his left hand) and Vaysmuta (with pliers in his hands). Between the figures of German artisans depicted Russian master Abraham, which brought together the plates on which the gates were dismantled for transport. Turning back, you see a building Novgorod Faceted Chamber. In xv century it met the Council of Lords, and here in 1570, took the famous Grim Feast of Ivan the Terrible, with whom he began his' Oprichny defeat.

Race to the maximum acceleration of direct short stretch of road has come to a professional auto and motorcycle with the empty nighttime streets, where drivers, figuring out who is steeper prove their ambition for speed. The charm of the Russian drag racing is in the recent past, the semi-legal. From traffic lights to traffic lights 402 meters (quarter mile) – the classic distance for drag racing – the pair of linear acceleration in the race. It is believed that not even a quarter of a mile equal to the distance between intersections and designating their traffic lights on the streets of American cities, where it appeared the match, which is called drag racing today. In addition to the length of 402 meters, in drag racing there is a distance a half-mile (804 meters) and 1 / 8 mile (201 meters).

The last period is more often used in a class of junior competitions. Shoot from a traffic light to traffic light with the most rapid acceleration was initially though exciting, but illegal occupation. And so with the popularization of drag racing scene has shifted to special tracks – solitary straight roads with a smooth hard surface – asphalt or concrete. And of traffic police were not able to repair obstacles a young sport. On both sides of the road at a safe distance are high fenced platform. A pair of motorcycles or cars are at the start of a routine engine, rear tires and stalled melt. Racers are expected allowing traffic light (a tribute to the past?) And the green light to rush to the finish line, and from the exhaust pipes are pulled out the flames.
