Topic: Narva Gate


  
  Official Portal of the City Governement: NARVA GATE
This brick, copper-faced monument was built between 1827 and 1834 by Vasily Stasov to replace the previous wooden structure (1814, architect Giacomo Quarenghi) that stood by the city gate leading to the town of Narva (hence the name).
The gate is crowned by a triumphant chariot, made of forged copper, on which stands the figure of Victory (sculptors Peter Klodt and Stepan Pimenov).
Engraved in gold on the Gate are the names of the sites of decisive battles fought between 1812 and 1814, from Borodino to Paris, and the names of the 18 regiments of Russian Guards that took part in these battles.

  Farm gate value Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The farm gate value of a cultivated product in agriculture or aquaculture is the net value of the product when it leaves the farm, after marketing costs have been subtracted.
Since many farms do not have significant marketing costs, it is often understood as the price of the product at which it is sold by the farm (the farm gate price).
The farm gate value is typically lower than the retail price consumers pay in a store as it does not include costs for shipping, handling, storage, marketing, and profit margins of the involved companies.
