Ok more questions :-)
1. is it true, that Shri Ram ruled for another 11 thousand years after coming from fight.
2. There might be reason for it, but why Shri Parashu ram didn't fight against Ravana.
3. Is it true, that same shri Parashu Ram taught, drona, karna too. it means there was a lot of time betn these two. Somewhere i read Shri Parashu Ram is still alive ?
4. what is the time difference, nearly bet Shri Ram's birth and Shri Krishna's birth ?
1. Yes, it's true, because in the Treta-Yug, life span was veeeeeerrryyy long, and in the beginning of Ramayan, it says that Dasharath was hundreds of years old.
2. Well, I think that's because although Shri Parashuram had the power to kill Ravan, due to Ravan's curses, he wasn't meant to, although both he and Shri Ram are avatars of Vishnu. One of Ravan's curses is Vedvati's curse, when he touched her and she cursed him that due to a woman, he and his whole dynasty would be ruined. She herseld would be born as that woman. Another curse came after Ravan had obtained all his power. Feeling that he was the most powerful of all beings on Earth, Ravan went to Ayodhya, the kingdom of the "humans" as he dubbed it, and challenged the ruler, King Anawrata. A major battle happened between Ayodhya's army and the rakshasas, and Ravan even called King Anawrata a worthy opponent. However, as the evening came, the rakshasas power grew and so did their thirst for sorcery. The Ayodhya army was quickly rooted and soon, it was only King Anawrata against Ravana along with a few rakshasas. Eager to end the battle, Ravana used unfair means which were against War Dharma and killed King Anawrata. In his last breaths, raged that Ravana had won by unfair means, King Anawrata had cursed him that one who was born in his family would be his (Ravan's) killer. Ravana didn't heed his curse, because he thought "puny humans'" curses would not count. Another curse against Ravana was when he had held Mount Kailas with his 10 heads. When he had done that, Devi Parvathi had slipped and angry that Ravan had frightened a woman, she cursed him that a woman would be his downfall. So I think all these curses (there were more) were the reason Shri Ram killed Ravan instead of Shri Parashuram.
3. Yes, that's true. And it is also true that Shri Parashuram is still alive, because he is one of the five Chiranjeevas who will be here until pralaya (end of the world). (And Parashuram also taught Bheeshma.)
4. Shri Ram was born in the Treta Yug and Shri Krishna was born in the Dwapara Yug, so there was a lot of time difference, but I don't know the exact number of years. You could find that out by reading Bhagavata Purana or Devi Bhagavatha.
