History Russian Empire The lack of a railway in Crimea greatly complicated the Crimean War. After the war, it hampered trade and the development of the economy of Crimea and neighbouring regions. In the summer of 1871, construction began on the 615-kilometre Lozova–Sevastopol railway. Low-paid jobs in the severe conditions of winter and summer provoked a struggle for basic rights. Some workers went on strike; the largest strike occurred in May 1873 on the Simferopol–Sevast ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Relief
Relief is a sculptural method in which the sculpted pieces are bonded to a solid background of the same material. The term ''relief'' is from the Latin verb ''relevo'', to raise. To create a sculpture in relief is to give the impression that the sculpted material has been raised above the background plane. When a relief is carved into a flat surface of stone (relief sculpture) or wood (relief carving), the field is actually lowered, leaving the unsculpted areas seeming higher. The approach requires a lot of chiselling away of the background, which takes a long time. On the other hand, a relief saves forming the rear of a subject, and is less fragile and more securely fixed than a sculpture in the round, especially one of a standing figure where the ankles are a potential weak point, particularly in stone. In other materials such as metal, clay, plaster stucco, ceramics or papier-mâché the form can be simply added to or raised up from the background. Monumental bronze reliefs a ...

History The Zaimka Station was built in 1899, approximately 5 kilometers from the Perm Station. Townspeople were attracted to clean air, building space and proximity to the Kama River. The first building for "Perm the Second" station was built in 1909. The station was located far outside the city, so reaching it required transport. People first used the Yamschik (Post rider) and later the car. Hence, the legend that the AP is based on Chekhov plays "Three Sisters" put the lives of the provincial city of Perm. Over time, the station could not handle increased traffic, and a new larger building was constructed. Station Perm-II is the main railway access point into Perm Territory. 15,000 passengers passed through the station daily. It was a beautifu ...
