Symmetry and asymmetry of answers. Where is the Russian park Rimini?
Italy in miniature, Russia in miniature. To begin with, what our leaders constantly talk about from the high tribunes and write the authors of the Military Review. With confrontation. Along the lines East - West, North - South, in a word, about “pendants-peretyagah”. A big country wants to be among the leaders, and this is understandable. But it is not clear why this has not happened yet. This was not the case with the tsars-fathers, it was not with the faithful Leninists-general secretaries, not even now, although "Russia is rising from its knees." A variety of explanations are invented and a variety of options are offered for correcting the situation. Symmetric and asymmetrical responses, terrifying weapon etc. Some things I personally just do not understand. People everywhere and always people. Why spend a lot of money on rockets, rusting in mines, when the "box with diamonds" has not been canceled. Their brilliance will not drive anyone crazy and decide the vote in any favor. The same with journalists ... Oh, how they vilified Russia under Peter the Great. But found a way out. They offered small (!) “Summer cottages” (not land plots with a house, but offerings in the form of thalers!) To the most vicious libellers, and they not only accepted them with joy, but also drastically changed their tone towards Russia. We write, that "there" for money will sell mother native ... We write? We write! But we do not need "their native mother," let's buy their opinion. And who refuses - let him sink in the bath, it happens. Or have we forgotten how to do it? But no ... The old “good” experiences are most often ignored, but new ones are invented. Why, when and so everything is known. Everything! A woman dressed in red and with a neckline to the navel will always dominate the plain gray and with buttons on the back, an expensive car over the "penny", a villa on the Cote d'Azur over the hut in the village, and a bachelor from Yale over a vocational school graduate. Here will begin remarks that it is different, but in general, the “law of large numbers” says that this is exactly so. He also says that it is impossible to dominate the world if your pensioners have a pension in 14000 considered good, whereas in Germany, which lost the war, men have a pension 1000 euro, and women have a 500. Yes, taxes ... tyry-pyry, yes ... But still they have more in their hands than we do, at least think so, at least that way.
Culture has a huge impact on people. Well, our ballet, the song and dance ensemble of the Republic of Armenia, exhibitions from the Hermitage are traveling around the world. But this is not a drop in the ocean. People, no matter how trite it sounds, are accustomed to the habitual. And can we always give them this “habitual” (yes, it also affects the conscious and subconscious!)? In the past, alas, they did not know how, but now, apparently, “there is no money again,” although it would not be worthwhile to spare any money for some objects. Recently, we have got excellent military museums, the modern rich, which are very interesting to write on "IN". But ... this is again a weapon, this is again a murder. But it would be completely wrong, or rather not only that! And we also have someone to learn from !!!
Here, for example, sunny Italy. Famous resort of Rimini. There, our people both dress literally from head to toe, and bathe, although this place for a beach holiday is not too good. But from Rimini, you can go to different places of interest. In fact, see the whole of Northern Italy. Moreover, having a rest in Rimini, you can visit the oldest Italian park “Italy in miniature”. This is truly an amazing place, and the word “miniature” may not mislead you: the park's area is 85 000 square meters, that is, it is not small at all, but the main thing is located on its territory absolutely exact copies of the most important attractions not only in Italy but throughout Europe. There are 270 in total there, and they are made on different scales, some more, some less.
More than half a million tourists visit this park every year, and you just think about the impressive impact its buildings have on both children and adults! Only the palaces of Venice in it 119. So you can not go there and still see everything, and bring with them their photographs: “And here I am in Venice!” And neighboring Manko and Dunki never know that they didn’t take it at all. Most of us (and this is by no means just ours, this tendency is ubiquitous!), That the “Doge's Palace”, that is “covered with a mat”.
Interestingly, this park was opened for a long time, namely in the 1970 year, just when we in the USSR had a mass of all sorts of achievements and there was a tendency to defuse international tensions. Increased and the flow of tourists of the USSR. But ... nothing like this was built here. Although the best advertising of our beautiful spaces and skills of our people would not have been found. One layout Baikonur what would cost !!! However, the park in Italy was made not for state, but for private money. Ivo Rambaldi, an Italian businessman, had dreamed of having a toy city since childhood, and when he got money, he decided to make his dream a reality. But only he turned out not just a fabulous city, but a real “object of cultural and educational significance,” which did honor to him and to the city of Rimini.
After all, only here, walking among miniature palaces and famous architectural structures, you can see both the Roman Colosseum and the Doge's Venetian Palace, see the Eiffel Tower and the huge Milan Station.
Naturally, a lot of time and effort was spent on making all these miniatures, and it was not cheap to enjoy it. A group of specialists worked on each structure for at least six months. And, of course, the question of materials became very acute. To minimize the impact of the weather, epoxy resin, suitably treated and painted, was chosen as the material for their manufacture. And at the very beginning there were only 50 exhibits in the park, and today there are more than 270 in total, that is, the work on the expansion of the park is ongoing!
Moreover, static models of buildings and structures are complemented by moving models. You press a button on the control panel at the Milan railway station and miniature trains start running around the railway bullets, steamboats scurry around the port waters, airplanes roar in the turbines ...
Interestingly, the scale of facilities in the park varies from 1: 25 to 1: 50. This makes it possible to consider even the smallest details of the most famous architectural creations of Italian architecture.
Since the territory of the park, as already noted, is very small, a monorail road is laid above it, and you can admire all the facilities from the window of an air-conditioned mini-train. And besides the Colosseum, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Leaning Tower and the Turin Tower, you can see the Belvedere in Vienna, and the fabulous Neuschwanstein Castle, the Athenian Acropolis and even ... a very “large-scale” monument to the Little Mermaid from Copenhagen ...
The exhibition "Venice in Miniature" stands apart. First, its buildings are the largest, so you can walk around, stand, and look at it in detail. Secondly, here is the famous Grand Canal, through which tourists ride a boat. And the channel is very interesting. There are three lanes in it: the two extreme ones to the coast are made on the scale of buildings, there are gondolas with gondoliers here, but ... finely. The central part of the "channel" has a decent depth and is designed for boats with tourists. That is, floating on the topic, you would like to truly float a truly large channel and ... you can carry out effective photography from the boat. So, as if you were listening to the city in the early-early morning, when all the tourists are still sleeping ...
So, you will be in Rimini, be sure to visit this park, and, given its scale, take the whole day into it. However, especially if you came there with children, you will not be bored. For them, there is a park with dinosaurs, a kart track, a water track, and even a science center, where they will be helped to put on a real physical experience. As they say - in Italy everything is for bambino! And by the way, you pay only for the entrance, all the entertainment in the park is included in the ticket price.
Bus number 8 goes there directly from the station in Rimini - this is for those who do not live there, but only arrive. It's funny that there are discounts for visitors on their height - children less than a meter are free. And for children in height from 1 m to 140, see the price of the ticket decreases from 8 to 17 euro (less in winter and more in summer). Well, for adults at different times of the year, the price is “completely divine” from 23 to 16 euros.
Great, isn't it? And now ... why shouldn't we "symmetrically respond" to the challenge of the "bad West", our culture, to hit "theirs"? Create a similar “Russia in miniature” and have churches in Kizhi, “Polovtsian women”, and the Kremlin with the Tsar-cannon and Tsar-bell (well, as without them), St. Basil’s Cathedral, and Ostankino the TV tower, and the Baikonur and Vostochny cosmodromes, and of course, the Crimean bridge. And so as soon as the construction of something monumental would begin in our country, the same object would be built here, even in real time. The country is great! Not every tourist will go from Moscow to the Far East, but here everything is visible, everything is before your eyes. You could build the “Alley of Monuments” with the most impressive monuments of Russia again in scale, and feed people in the huge Ilya Muromets restaurant-plane with the cuisine of all the world's leading airlines, as if you were flying from Paris to Bangkok, from Moscow to New York, or from London to Rio de Janeiro. I am sure that all air carriers would present uniforms for waitresses, menus, and branded devices for free just for their advertising. And we both have an “informational occasion,” and the benefit, and money for the exotic, and the people love “to devour” from us. Again, acquaintance with a foreign culture, interpenetration and growth of tolerance for the money of the visitors themselves - why not ?!
In Soviet times, this would have to be done for the sake of ideology, today it can be done for good money and management of public opinion!
It is well known that it is necessary to respond to hostile intrigues effectively. And do not hesitate to borrow. Including in the field of culture. Promote your country. In Italy there is a park "Italy in miniature". But we do not have this! So let's go there and have a good look. Here is one of the sites of this wonderful park.
And it can be much more efficient!
Culture has a huge impact on people. Well, our ballet, the song and dance ensemble of the Republic of Armenia, exhibitions from the Hermitage are traveling around the world. But this is not a drop in the ocean. People, no matter how trite it sounds, are accustomed to the habitual.

But it would be completely wrong, or rather not only that! And we also have someone to learn from !!!
There are “mountains” here ...
And a lot of "water" with ships and yachts.
And to see all this close and not get tired you will help monorail!
Rimini and "Italy in miniature"
Here, for example, sunny Italy. Famous resort of Rimini. There, our people both dress literally from head to toe, and bathe, although this place for a beach holiday is not too good. But from Rimini, you can go to different places of interest. In fact, see the whole of Northern Italy. Moreover, having a rest in Rimini, you can visit the oldest Italian park “Italy in miniature”.

There are 270 in total there, and they are made on different scales, some more, some less.
It seems to be not too well-known structure, but it is here ...
And this castle on the rock too. Walk and learn Italian defense architecture ...
More than half a million tourists visit this park every year, and you just think about the impressive impact its buildings have on both children and adults! Only the palaces of Venice in it 119. So you can not go there and still see everything, and bring with them their photographs: “And here I am in Venice!” And neighboring Manko and Dunki never know that they didn’t take it at all. Most of us (and this is by no means just ours, this tendency is ubiquitous!), That the “Doge's Palace”, that is “covered with a mat”.
Just a roman forum. Not very impressive, is not it?
And the Colosseum ... how can it be without him ?! Although his entourage is rather strange ...
But the lovers of "play the railroad" here expanse. Everything moves, except ... figures of people!
When the dream comes true!
Interestingly, this park was opened for a long time, namely in the 1970 year, just when we in the USSR had a mass of all sorts of achievements and there was a tendency to defuse international tensions. Increased and the flow of tourists of the USSR. But ... nothing like this was built here. Although the best advertising of our beautiful spaces and skills of our people would not have been found.

But only he turned out not just a fabulous city, but a real “object of cultural and educational significance,” which did honor to him and to the city of Rimini.
Very interesting is the Roman circus in the city of Verona. He was turned into an open-air opera house. Moreover, here he is presented with decorations in the Verdi opera "Aida".
And there is not only the scenery and chairs, but also the orchestra, the audience and actors. So it seems that now they will sing: "Oh, Radames!"
And this is the famous Milan Cathedral!
Sirmione Castle in Lombardy on Lake Garda (we will certainly tell about it in more detail, it's worth it!)
After all, only here, walking among miniature palaces and famous architectural structures, you can see both the Roman Colosseum and the Doge's Venetian Palace, see the Eiffel Tower and the huge Milan Station.
Well, this is the well-known Little Mermaid from Copenhagen!
The construction of great complexity!
Naturally, a lot of time and effort was spent on making all these miniatures, and it was not cheap to enjoy it. A group of specialists worked on each structure for at least six months. And, of course, the question of materials became very acute. To minimize the impact of the weather, epoxy resin, suitably treated and painted, was chosen as the material for their manufacture. And at the very beginning there were only 50 exhibits in the park, and today there are more than 270 in total, that is, the work on the expansion of the park is ongoing!
There are also buildings on a much larger scale ...
The famous Rialto Bridge. So immediately and not realize that he was not in Venice!
Moreover, static models of buildings and structures are complemented by moving models. You press a button on the control panel at the Milan railway station and miniature trains start running around the railway bullets, steamboats scurry around the port waters, airplanes roar in the turbines ...
Typical "Venetian landscape". On the middle channel floats tourist boat.
Interestingly, the scale of facilities in the park varies from 1: 25 to 1: 50. This makes it possible to consider even the smallest details of the most famous architectural creations of Italian architecture.
St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice. As you can see, he is not that small either, if you put a tall man six feet tall next to him!
Since the territory of the park, as already noted, is very small, a monorail road is laid above it, and you can admire all the facilities from the window of an air-conditioned mini-train. And besides the Colosseum, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Leaning Tower and the Turin Tower, you can see the Belvedere in Vienna, and the fabulous Neuschwanstein Castle, the Athenian Acropolis and even ... a very “large-scale” monument to the Little Mermaid from Copenhagen ...
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is as tall as a man.
Now imagine how much it all costs, because, for example, this Eiffel Tower is made in exact accordance with the tower in Paris. All its parts needed to be made of plastic. Then shape them in viksint. Then pour out the resin. Assemble the design itself, and then paint it. And it has to be painted regularly, which also costs money. However, the game is worth the candle - 500000 tourists for the year is an excellent indicator!
This is what houses in Venice look like; even a gondola with passengers is modeled here. The only thing that shows its scale is clear water, which is thickly green in Venice itself.!
You don't even have to go to Venice!
The exhibition "Venice in Miniature" stands apart. First, its buildings are the largest, so you can walk around, stand, and look at it in detail. Secondly, here is the famous Grand Canal, through which tourists ride a boat. And the channel is very interesting. There are three lanes in it: the two extreme ones to the coast are made on the scale of buildings, there are gondolas with gondoliers here, but ... finely. The central part of the "channel" has a decent depth and is designed for boats with tourists. That is, floating on the topic, you would like to truly float a truly large channel and ... you can carry out effective photography from the boat. So, as if you were listening to the city in the early-early morning, when all the tourists are still sleeping ...
Even in the early morning there are plenty of people in this park, and how can one not visit it ?!
All fun for Bambino!
So, you will be in Rimini, be sure to visit this park, and, given its scale, take the whole day into it. However, especially if you came there with children, you will not be bored.

And what kind of facilities are not here. That would be us, eh? After all, what is Italy and what is Russia. It’s time to have something similar to us!
Money and culture
Great, isn't it? And now ... why shouldn't we "symmetrically respond" to the challenge of the "bad West", our culture, to hit "theirs"?
