Innocenzo Manzetti considered the idea of a telephone as early as 1844, and may have made one in 1864, as an enhancement to an automaton built by him in 1849. He is considered by many Italians as the inventor of the telephone.

In 1854 Charles Bourseul, a French telegrapher, published a plan for conveying sounds and even speech by electricity in the magazine L'Illustration (Paris). Bourseul's ideas were also published in Didaskalia (Frankfurt am Main) on September 28, 1854: "Suppose", he explained, “that a man speaks near a movable disc sufficiently flexible to lose none of the vibrations of the voice; that this disc alternately makes and breaks the currents from a battery: you may have at a distance another disc which will simultaneously execute the same vibrations.... It is certain that, in a more or less distant future, speech will be transmitted by electricity. I have made experiments in this direction; they are delicate and demand time and patience,

but the approximations obtained promise a favorable result."

ка

 

This make-or-break signaling was able to transmit tones and someАГНИvowels, but

since it did not follow the analog shape of the sound wave (the contact was pure

 

 

 

 

е

digital, on or off) it could not transmit consonants, or complex sounds. Bourseul's

 

 

 

 

т

 

phrase "make and break the current" was inaccurately applied to later work by

Philipp Reis who successfully transmitted faint voice sounds with unbroken current.

 

In 1860 Johann Philipp Reis was the first who produced a functioning

electromagnetic device that could transmit musicalоnotes, indistinct speech, and

occasionally distinct speech by means of electricиsignals. Reis also introduced the

term "telephon" for his device. The first sentence spoken on it was "Das Pferd frisst

keinen Gurkensalat" (the horse doesn't eat cucumber salad). In the Reis transmitter, a

 

 

 

 

б

 

diaphragm was attached to a needle thatблpressed against a metal contact. This

resembled the make-or-break designиof Bourseul, although Reis used the term

"molecular motion" (molekulare Bewegung) to describe the contact points of his

 

 

 

ая

 

 

transmitter. The Reis transmitter was very difficult to operate, since the relative

position of the needle and the contact were critical to the device's operation. This can

 

 

нн

 

 

 

be called a "telephone", since it did transmit voice sounds over distance, but was

hardly a commercially practical telephone in the modern sense, as it failed to reliably

transmit a good copy of any supplied sound.

 

 

 

ро

 

 

 

 

Thomas Edison tested the Reis equipment and found that "single words, uttered

as in reading, speaking and the like, were perceptible indistinctly; notwithstanding

 

кт

 

 

 

here also the inflections of the voice, the modulations of interrogation, wonder,

command, etc., attained distinct expression."

 

 

е

 

 

 

 

 

Prior to 1947, the Reis device was tested by the British company Standard

Telephones and Cables (STC). The results also confirmed it could faintly transmit

Э

 

 

 

 

 

and receive speech. At the time STC was bidding for a contract with Alexander

лGraham Bell's American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and the results were

covered up by STC's chairman Sir Frank Gill to maintain Bell's reputation.

Telephone Pioneers (2)

An early voice communicating device was invented around 1854 by Antonio Meucci, who called it a telettrofono. In 1871 Meucci filed a caveat at the US Patent Office. His caveat describes his invention, but does not mention a diaphragm, electromagnet, and conversion of sound into electrical waves, conversion of electrical waves into sound, or other essential features of an electromagnetic telephone.

The first American demonstration of Meucci's invention took place in Staten

Island, New York in 1854. In 1860, a description of it was reportedly published in an

 

ка

Italian-language New York newspaper, although no known copy of thatАГНИnewspaper

issue or article survived to the present day. Meucci claimed to have invented a paired

е

electro-magnetic transmitter and receiver, where the motion of a diaphragm

т

 

modulated a signal in a coil by moving an electromagnet, although this was not

mentioned in his 1871 U.S. patent caveat. A further discrepancy observed was that

the device described in the 1871 caveat employed only a single conduction wire, with

the telephone's transmitter-receivers being insulated fromоa 'ground return' path.

 

 

In the 1880s Meucci was credited with theиearly invention of inductive loading

of telephone wires to increase long-distance signals. Unfortunately, serious burns

from an accident, a lack of English, and poor business abilities resulted in Meucci

failing to develop his inventions commerciallyблin America. Meucci demonstrated

some sort of instrument in 1849 in Havana,и Cuba, but the evidence is clear that this

was not

an electromagnetic telephone and may have been a variant of a string

 

 

 

 

 

б

telephone that used wire. Meucci has been further credited with invention of an anti-

sidetone circuit. However, examination showed that his solution to sidetone was to

maintain two separate telephone circuits, and thus use twice as many transmission

 

 

 

 

ая

 

wires. The anti-sidetone circuit later introduced by Bell Telephone instead cancelled

sidetone through a feedback process.

 

 

Meucci was recognized for his pioneering work on the telephone by the United

 

 

 

нн

 

 

States House of Representatives in 2002. The resolution stated that "if Meucci had

been able to pay the $10 fee to maintain the caveat after 1874, no patent could have

 

 

 

ро

 

 

been issued to Bell." No such patent could have issued to Bell in March 1876. If

Meucci had renewed his caveat, he would have been given an opportunity to prove to

 

 

кт

 

 

the examiner that the device described in his caveat was the electromagnetic

 

е

 

 

 

telephone described in Bell's patent application.

The education system in Tatarstan is secular. The literacy rate for the total

population is about 100%. Elementary and secondary education is compulsory

(grades 1–11). Students must pass graduation exams at the end of the 11th grade in

order to continue their education in colleges and universities. Most schoolsАГНИare public

along with a small number of parochial schools run by churches or mosques. The

school year begins in September. Kazan State University is one of the major centers

of higher education in Russia. There are several colleges, institutes, and technical

schools in Kazan and other cities of the republic.

The Tatar cuisine, while preserving the national traditions, has undergone

substantial changes. Economic and cultural changesоhave introduced many new

dishes, enriching the traditional cuisine. More fruitsиand vegetables are now used than

traditionally, fish has become more popular, mushrooms, tomatoes, and pickles are in

common use. The opening up of international trade has given access to fruits and

 

 

 

 

 

б

 

 

vegetables that were previously regardedблas exotic, i.e., bananas, kiwi, mango,

eggplant, etc. National cuisines of иother peoples of the former Soviet Union,

especially the Russian cuisine, have influenced the modern eating habits of the Tatar.

Theater

There are 16 professional and dozens of amateur theaters in Tatarstan performing plays in Tatar, Russian and other local languages.

The Galiaskar Kamal Tatar Academic Theatre (Russian: Татарский Академический Театр имени Галиаскара Камала) is the leading Tatar theater in

34

Kazan, Russia named after the playwright Galiaskar Kamal, it was founded on December 22, 1906.

The first known Tatar theatrical efforts were during the 19th century when Tatar amateur theater groups emerged in some cities and towns of Russia with sizable Tatar populations. The first published Tatar-language play was "Unhappy Girl" (1886) by Gabdrakhman Ilyasi (1856–1895). In the middle of the 19th century, Tatar amateur theater groups staged free performances in private houses and wereАГНИattended by very few people. Their repertoire usually included the plays of Russian and foreign playwrights. The first public performance of a Tatar play in modern times took place in 1906 and was organized by the group "Sayar" (The Traveler). "Sayar" eventually became the leading Tatar professional theater company. In 1939 it was renamed after the playwright Galiaskar Kamal. In 1987, the company moved to its current building on the shore of the lakes Qaban.

The theater's current repertoire consists mostly of plays written by Tatar playwrights but includes many plays of Russian and foreign playwrights as well. The

theater provides special translation devices

to

audience members who do not

understand Tatar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ка

 

 

 

 

 

е

One of the peculiar

features of Tatar

 

culture during Soviet times was that

 

 

 

 

 

 

т

 

Tatarstan, being an "autonomous republic" rather than a "union republic" within the

USSR, was not allowed by Moscow to have its own filmоstudio (whereas each "union

republic" was entitled to one). As a result, most Tatarиactors, producers and directors

could develop their talents only within the realm of theater. All artistic talent in those

fields of self-expression was

concentrated exclusively in theater rather than both

 

 

 

 

б

 

 

 

theater and film. This fact might explain theблextraordinary commercial success of the

Tatar Theater and the remarkably highиquality of its productions, as well as the

enormous popularity of theater as a genre among Tatars.

Economy of Russia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Э

The economy of Russia is the ninth largest economy in the world by nominal

value and the sixth largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Russian economy is

лtoday considered by IMF and World Bank a developing one. Russia has an

abundance of natural gas, oil, coal, and precious metals. Russia has undergone

significant changes since the collapse of the Soviet Union, moving from a centrally

planned economy to a more

market-based and globally integrated economy.

Economic reforms in the 1990s privatized many sectors of the industry and agriculture, with notable exceptions in the energy and defense-related sectors.

37

Nonetheless, the rapid privatization process, including a much criticized "loans-for-shares" scheme that turned over major state-owned firms to politically connected "oligarchs", has left equity ownership highly concentrated. As of 2011, Russia's capital, Moscow, now has the highest billionaire population of any city in the world. The economy has not been as seriously affected by the global financial crisis, largely because of the integration of short-term macroeconomic policies that helped the economy survive. The Russian Government predicts stable growth rates

for future years of around 3.5% of GDP.

л The IT market is one of the most dynamic sectors of the Russian economy.

Russian software exports have risen from just $120 million in 2000 to $3.3 billion in 2010. Since the year 2000 the IT market has demonstrated growth rates of 30–40 percent a year, growing by 54% in 2006 alone. The biggest sector in terms of revenue is system and network integration, which accounts for 28.3% of the total market revenues. Meanwhile the fastest growing segment of the IT market is offshore programming.

38

Currently Russia controls 3% of the offshore software development market and is the third leading country (after India and China) among software exporters. Such growth of software outsourcing in Russia is caused by a number of factors. One of them is the supporting role of the Russian Government. The government has launched a program promoting construction of IT-oriented technology parks (Technoparks) – special zones that have an established infrastructure and enjoy a favorable tax and customs regime, in seven different places around the country: Moscow, Novosibirsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaluga, Tyumen, Republic of Tatarstan and St. Petersburg Regions.

Another factor stimulating the IT sector growth in Russia is the presence of global technology corporations such as Intel, Google, Motorola, Sun Microsystems, Boeing, Nortel, Hewlett-Packard, SAP AG, and others, which have intensified their

software development activities and opened their R&D centers in Russia.

Natural recoursesиin Russia

 

 

 

The mineral-packed Ural Mountains and the vast oil, gas, coal, and timber

reserves of Siberia and the Russian Far East make Russia rich in natural resources.

 

 

 

 

 

б

 

 

 

However, most such resources are locatedблin remote and climatically unfavorable

areas that are difficult to develop and farиfrom Russian ports.

 

 

 

Natural resources, especially oil and gas, dominate Russian exports. Oil and

 

 

 

 

ая

 

 

 

 

gas exports continue to be the main source of hard currency. The petroleum industry

in Russia is one of the largest in the world. Russia has the largest reserves, and is the

 

 

 

нн

 

 

 

 

 

largest exporter, of natural gas. It has the second largest coal reserves, the eighth

largest oil reserves, and is the largest exporter of oil in the world in absolute numbers.

 

Per capita oil production in Russia, though, is not that high. As of 2007, Russia

 

 

ро

 

 

 

 

 

was producing 69.603 bbl/day per 1,000 people, much less than Canada (102.575

bbl/day), Saudi Arabia (371.363 bbl/day), or Norway (554.244 bbl/day), but more

 

кт

 

 

 

 

 

 

than two times more than the USA (28.083 bbl/day), or the UK (27.807

bbl/day).Russia is also a leading producer and exporter of minerals and gold. 90% of

 

е

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Russian exports to the United States are minerals or other raw materials.

Expecting the area to become more accessible as climate change melts Arctic

ice, and believing the area contains large reserves of untapped oil and natural gas, on

л2 August 2007, Russian explorers, in submersibles, planted the Russian flag on the

Arctic seabed, staking a claim to energy sources right up to the North Pole. Reaction to the event was mixed: President Vladimir Putin congratulated the explorers for "the outstanding scientific project", while Canadian officials stated the expedition was just a public show.
