[2006-09-26] The russian folk art: Fedoskino |
ying on a sofa in a grey house suit, nestled in German pillows.... he used to fiddle with some small object, his old black snuffbox, its lacquer gone tarnished...." That was how Russkie Vedomosti (The Russian Gazette) described russian writer Ivan Turgenev in 1884. History has, surprisingly, preserved for us Turgenev's favorite plaything. When leaving, for the last time, Russia for Paris, where he was not allowed to smoke or snuff tobacco, Turgenev left his snuffbox as a souvenir with his friend, writer Yakov Polonsky. The Polonsky family carefully stored that relic, which was [...] |

he art of Palekh is a part of the world culture. Lacquer miniature which appeared in the beginning of the 20th century oil the basis of old Russian painting brought Palekh a world fame. Before that for 3 centuries Palekh was known in Russia as one of the great centers of icon-painting. After the revolution of 1917, because of persecution religion, former painters started to look for new jobs where they could use their experience. The decision was found thanks to a unique talent of Ivan Golikov and a talent for organisation of his brother-in-law A. Glazunov. Using experience of [...] |
[2006-09-26] The russian folk art: Mstera |
here are four traditional centres of miniature lacquered box painting in Russia, which today have become the most famous. They are Fedoskino, Palekh, Mstera and Kholui. They make up a tightly knit family, influencing each other and enriching each other, with each one having its own individual character. Mstera holds a special place in this group, due to its more ancient and maybe more colourful traditions. A special place in the Mstera icon painting tradition was held by Byzantine art, the successors of which were first and foremost the Vladimir and Suzdal icon painters.The Byz [...] |

he small town Kholui, known throughout the world as a center of papier-mache lacquer miniatures and famous in Russia in the past for its skillful icon painters, is thought to be one of the oldest settlements in the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality. Legend has it that the settlement appeared in the 13th century, when the Russian land was invaded by the Tartar-Mongol nomads.

Every human being shares these feelings, and therefore few people remain indifferent to the Zhostovo craft, which has long be [...] |

zhel, not far from the city of Moscow, has long been famous for its rich deposits of clays suitable for the making of pottery, and, hence, for the ceramic industries that grew up around them. In fact, practically the entire population of some thirty villages in this neighborhood have long engaged in the manufacture of pottery, the more so, as considering the dense sprawling forests around, there has never been any shortage of firewood. One could say that it was symbolical for Gzhel to be understood already in the 19th century as synonymical, to a great degree, with Russian folk c [...] |

In each country, the eighty proof liquor is drunk with meals. In Russia the word voda, believed to be the word that vodka originated from, means water. Vodka is just as popular in Poland.

Russian roulette (Russian: (Ðóññêàÿ) Ðóëåòêà, (Russkaya) Rulyetka) is the practice of placing a single round in a revolver, spinning the cylinder and closing it into the firearm without looking, aiming the revolver at one's own head in a suicidal fashion, and pulling the trigger. The number of rounds placed in the revolver can vary, though as a rule there will always be at least one empty chamber. As a gambling game, toy guns are often used to simulate the practice. The number of deaths caused by this practice is unknown.
Legends abound regarding the invention of Russian roulette. Most of t [...] |

Russian Orthodox Church is the largest "autocephalous" or ecclesiastically independent, church in the commonwealth of Eastern Orthodox churches, headed by its own Patriarch. Church membership is estimated at 60 million people.
Christianity as the state religion has been accepted in Russia (Kievan Rus') in the 10th century after the baptism of Olga - regent of Kiev (957) and her grandson Vladimir - prince of Kiev (988).

[2006-09-26] Russian Orthodox Church Architecture |
Kievan Rus was converted to Christianity in 988, and in Kiev, its dominant political and cultural centre, mosaics, which date from about 1045, were the work of Byzantine craftsmen. Other Byzantine artists and artisans worked intermittently in the area from that time onward, so that Russian art as a whole was founded on a Byzantine basis. Architecture and icon painting grew up as important independent arts, both having their beginnings during this period.
From Kiev the Byzantine style of architecture soon spread throughout the principalities of Novgorod and Vladimir-Suzdal. The emphasis of the [...] |
