2011 Journey Photos

2011 Dodge Journey Overview

The Dodge Journey was significantly refreshed for 2011, and reviewers said the updates transformed it into a more competitive compact SUV. The Journey’s relatively smooth handling and compact dimensions impressed reviewers, and the front-wheel drive Journey’s 19/26 mpg city/highway fuel economy rating is better than most midsize SUVs’. However, many testers said that even with the Journey’s improvements, the Journey still isn’t good enough to compete with top-ranked members of the class. If you plan to use the Journey’s available third row, most said that it’s barely fit for anyone larger than a small child. At 67.6 cubic feet, the Journey’s overall cargo space is limited, and test drivers wrote that the seats weren’t supportive enough. Plus, they took issue with the Journey’s poor rearward visibility and cramped second row. The Journey isn’t a sporty SUV, and test drivers were quick to note that its four-cylinder engine is significantly underpowered and its base four-speed automatic transmission was unresponsive and made the crossover feel sluggish.

The 2011 Dodge Journey came with either a four-cylinder or V6 engine. Test drivers recommended the V6, since most agreed that the drop in fuel economy is worth the performance gain. All-wheel drive was optional on V6 models, which earn an EPA rating of 16/24 mpg city/highway. That’s not great for an SUV of the Journey’s compact dimensions. The Journey’s standard features include a six-speaker audio system, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel and manually-adjustable driver’s seat, but features like Bluetooth, rear climate control and a power driver’s seat were options when it was new. Other available features include navigation, leather-trimmed seats and a rearview camera.

Other Cars to Consider

If you like the Dodge Journey’s smaller size and need a third-row seat, you should also consider the 2011 Toyota RAV4 . Like the Journey, reviewers said the RAV4’s available third-row seat is cramped, but they also said it’s a better SUV overall. Though the RAV4 has a lower safety score than the Journey, it has better performance and interior scores.

The 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe is also a great choice for its abundance of standard features like Bluetooth, steering wheel audio controls and a USB port. While other SUVs offer more luxury or performance, reviewers agreed that the Santa Fe’s value was hard to beat. With used Santa Fe prices on the low end of the class, that still may be true.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
