On one of the highest places in Donetsk region (near the city of Shakhtersk) is a mound called Saur-Grave. The height of the mound above sea level is 277.9 meters.
This mound is nothing but the remains of one of the spurs of the Donetsk ridge, which over time was blurred. It consists of a mound of sandstone, but sometimes there are also rhinestones of rock crystal.
It is believed that in the second millennium BC, in the Bronze Age, tribes of log culture was poured the top of the mound. Now the upper embankment has a height of four meters and a diameter of 32 meters.
Presumably its name Saur, the mound received from the Turkic word "saur", which literally translated as "steppe height with a rounded top in the form of horse groats. According to folk legends, it is the name of the man Saur, who was either a Cossack or a folk avenger.
Kurgan Saur-Grave is a part of the regional landscape park "Donetsk Kryazh".
During the Great Patriotic War, there were fierce battles for tactically important heights. The German command installed many defensive structures, dugouts and zots, which were located in several tiers. When taking this height, 23,238 Soviet soldiers and officers were killed.
After the war, the place was transformed into the Saur-Grave memorial complex in memory of the dead soldiers. Every year on May 9, war veterans and everyone who wants to honor the memory of people who sacrificed their lives for victory gather here.
On the lower observation deck of the Saur-Grave complex there are samples of military equipment from the Great Patriotic War. And at the very top of the mound is a 36-meter obelisk, inside which is a room of military glory with a small exposition.
The London TubeHave you ever wondered what strange things lurk within the London Underground (or "Tube") system? The first things people usually think of are the mice that you can occasionally see running along the tracks. (run) In tact, mice arent the only strange things in the Underground system. Passengers leave behind thousands of objects. Items that were once theirs now reside in London Transport's lost property office. (they) The collection is not open to the public, but a wedding dress, sets of false teeth, artificial limbs and a metre -high Mickey Mouse statue are just some of things people could see if they visited the office. Objects that are left in the office for more than three months are donated to charity or sold at auction. (leave)
Found money Shelley was reading an article about some money a builder had found in an old house. He'd gone to the police with $64,000. She asked her friend Paul what he would do if he found a large amount of money. (find) "Oh, the same thing he did", Paul didn't hesitate to respond. "It's not right to keep that kind of money. It's not just $20, you know." (not hesitate) Shelley thought about it for several moments. She couldn't help wondering how the police would know whose money it was. (who) "Apparently", she said, reading the article further, "if nobody claims the money after a certain period of time, the police RETURNS???/слово не даноб но в любом случае оно должно быть в простом настоящем(present simple) it back to the builder". She wondered whether the builder would be lucky on this occasion.
