The balalaika has its origins in the oriental domra, a two-stringed, oval-faced instrument brought to Russia most probably by the Mongols in the fourteenth century.
For centuries it was an instrument of the peasant class - at various timed during its history, the playing of it was banned by both the Orthodox church and the State, for as often as not the irreverent street musicians, or 'skomorokhi', poked fun at both of these institutions in their music.
In fact, he even attempted to introduce it into the higher ranked society, but the crude instrument on which he was playing was not welcomed by the Russian aristocracy.

The first evidence that fullerenes occur naturally on the earth came to light when Arizona State University researchers Semeon Tsipursky and Peter Buseck examined a sample of shiny fl rock, known as shungite, from northeastern Russia.

When Buseck and Tsipursky told Hettich that the rock had come from Russia and not a meteorite, he was somewhat surprised.
