Vodka - Amura

Vodka

It  was the year 1386, the year in which the wine alcohol was introduced by Genoese traders in Moscow, but was considered a “harmful pottage” for which the Russian government banned their import into the country, the discovery that alcohol could be extracted from wheat and rye, it wasn’t until later when this negative idea disappeared and began producing the first vodka that was called “bread wine”. Since the production of vodka was very cheap, the government of “Ivan IV the Terrible” proclaimed its manufacturing, starting from this moment the history of  vodka begins.

Enigmatic Russia: Notes on art, aesthetics and culture - Jesús Peraza Menéndez

Enigmatic Russia: Notes on art, aesthetics and culture

Linguists and archaeologists agree that the period of the V to X centuries is the expansion of the Slavs and the existence of the protoslavic language. Linguistic reminiscences stored roots of provided voices of the German (Gothic) and the Iranian (Sarmatian). The sarmatae  (or Scythians). Slavic derives from the protoslavic, has meanings like  “God”, “Holy” and “paradise”. Human groups were established in small towns and cities built of wood and in temporary tents, scattered over the territory of the peninsula in which Ukraine and Poland are established, near the coast of the Atlantic Ocean between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea and the mouths of the five rivers, rich in black caviar  which attracted the ancient Greeks

Fedor Dostoievski - F.M. Dostoievski The Literary Memorial Museum of St. Petesburg

Fedor Dostoievski

The name Dostoevsky has ties to St. Petersburg. It is the city where he lived most of his life and developed as a writer. St. Petersburg became a character in his novels: no other city on the face of the earth has acquired such an appearance as this city, with the Dostoevskian portrayal of “intentional” and “crazy”. Here Dostoevsky’s novels were created: Poor people, Insulted and Injured, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The teenager, scenarios in which the city itself became the true hero of his writings.

Five Powerful Russians  - Ricardo Rondón

Five Powerful Russians

The negative reaction to the music of Richard Wagner was reflected in several ways,including the Impressionism of Debussy and the Expresionism of Arnold Schoenberg. It also was welcomed in the National movement that appeared in Russia amongst the group of musicians called The Mighty Handfull. Inspired by the examples of Glinka, and  Dargomizhsky; composers Balakirev,Borodin, Moussorgsky, Cui and Rimsky-Korsakov,  did not accept that their music was a reflexión of other countries,specially Germany. In their misión to communicate individuality they arrived to a style that had deep roots in the Russian language and true folklore. They created  a type of music that cannot be mistaken for any other country. In next generations the influence of the Mighty Five is felt in the superior Works of Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky, Serge Rachmaninoff and also Dmitri Shostakovich.

It was the 15th of December, 1998, and we were walking through the moonlit forest, the snow cracking under our feet, then, a growl was heard, like a faraway thunder. But, the soft ‘pop’ of a tranquilizer dart was heard and hit its target. Ten minutes later, the tigress Amur (which we called Nadia) was sleeping placidly.
