Feodosy Savinov
Feodosy Petrovich Savinov (russian: Феодо́сий Петро́вич Са́винов; born 1865, in Totma, Vologda region, Russian Empire – 1915, in village Kuvshinovo, Vologda region, Russian Empire) was Russian poet, best known for his poem "Rodnoye" (Close to Heart, 1885), part of which has been later turned into the lyrics of "Rodina", a popular tune, usually (and mistakenly) referred to as 'Russian folk song'. Feodosy Savinov was born in Vologda to a local police official. After having dropped from Moscow University, he worked for several years as a clerk in his native city, then moved to Moscow where, working as a proofreader and freelance reporter, he started to write poetry, contributing to ''Zhivopisnoe obozrenie'', ''Russkoye Obozrenye'', '' Russkaya Mysl'', ''Volna'' and '' Russky Vestnik''. Savinov's ''Poems'' collection, originally published in Vologda in 1887 and re-issued in Moscow in 1900 in its extended version, failed to cause a stir. Still, two of ...

Totma
Totma (russian: То́тьма) is a town and the administrative center of Totemsky District in Vologda Oblast, Russia, located on the left bank of the Sukhona River at its confluence with the Pesya Denga, northeast of Vologda, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: History It was first mentioned in the chronicles in 1137 (according to other sources—in 1138) as the ''pogost'' of Todma (). It was founded by Novgorodians, who used the Sukhona as the main waterway leading to the north and eventually to the White Sea. The name "Totma" is nevertheless of Finno-Ugrian origin, which, together with archeological discoveries, indicates that an earlier settlement on the site of the present town was established by the Merya people. The original ''pogost'' was located downstream of the current location, close to the mouth of the Staraya Totma River. In the 13th century, salt production started around Totma and the town was relocated. In 1539, Totma was plundered by Kazan ...

People From Vologda
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Poets From The Russian Empire
A poet is a person who studies and creates poetry. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as such by others. A poet may simply be the creator (thought, thinker, songwriter, writer, or author) who creates (composes) poems (oral tradition, oral or literature, written), or they may also performance, perform their art to an audience. The work of a poet is essentially one of communication, expressing ideas either in a literal sense (such as communicating about a specific event or place) or metaphorically. Poets have existed since prehistory, in nearly all languages, and have produced works that vary greatly in different cultures and periods. Throughout each civilization and language, poets have used various styles that have changed over time, resulting in countless poets as diverse as the literature that (since the advent of writing systems) they have produced. History In Ancient Rome, professional poets were generally sponsored by patronage, patrons, wealthy sup ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Psychiatric Hospital
Psychiatric hospitals, also known as mental health hospitals, behavioral health hospitals, are hospitals or wards specializing in the treatment of severe mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, dissociative identity disorder, major depressive disorder and many others.

General Paresis Of The Insane
General paresis, also known as general paralysis of the insane (GPI), paralytic dementia, or syphilitic paresis is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder, classified as an organic mental disorder and is caused by late-stage syphilis and the chronic meningoencephalitis and cerebral atrophy that are associated with this late stage of the disease when left untreated. GPI differs from mere paresis, as mere paresis can result from multiple other causes and usually does not affect cognitive function. Degenerative changes caused by GPI are associated primarily with the frontal and temporal lobar cortex. The disease affects approximately 7% of individuals infected with syphilis, and is far more common in third world countries where fewer options for timely treatment are available. It is more common among men. GPI was originally considered to be a type of madness due to a dissolute character, when first identified in the early 19th century. The condition's connection with syphilis was dis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
