    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Paul Kulikovsky №89 August 2015 A procession in memory of Tsarevich Alexei was made for the twelfth time A two-day procession in honor of the birth of the last heir to the Russian throne - St. Tsarevich Alexei, was made for the twelfth time on August 11-12 from Tsarskoye Selo to Peterhof. The tradition of the procession was born in 2004 - says the coordinator of the procession Vladimir Znahur - The icon painter Igor Kalugin gave the church an icon of St. Tsarevich. We decided that this icon should visit the Lower dacha, where the Tsarevich was born. We learned that in "Peterhof" in 1994 was a festival dedicated to the last heir to the imperial throne. We decided to go in procession from the place where they lived in the winter - from Tsarskoye Selo. Procession begins with Divine Liturgy at the Tsar's Feodorovsky Cathedral and then prayer at the beginning of the procession. The cross procession makes stops at churches and other significant sites. We called the route of our procession "From Sadness to Joy." They lived in the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoye Selo, loved it, there was born the Grand Duchess Olga. But this palace became a prison for the last of the Romanovs, where they then went on their way of the cross. It was in this palace the Tsarevich celebrated his last birthday", - says Vladimir. The next morning, after the Liturgy, we go to the birthplace of the Tsarevich - "Peterhof". Part of the procession was led by the clergy of the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Peterhof, Archpriest Mikhail Teryushov and Vladimir Chornobay.

The great churches of Kievan Rus', built after the adoption of christianity in 988, were the first examples of monumental architecture in the East Slavic region. The architectural style of the Kievan state, which quickly established itself, was strongly influenced by Byzantine architecture. Early Eastern Orthodox churches were mainly built from wood, with their simplest form known as a cell church. Major cathedrals often featured many small domes, which has led some art historians to infer how the pagan Slavic temples may have appeared.

  • Language of the Heart
    [ESSAY] LANGUAGE OF THE HEART DUNCAN REID WITNESSES THE CHANGES IN RUSSIAN WORSHIP AND THE CHURCH SINCE THE END OF THE SOVIET ERA RECENTLY I revisited my adolescence. I borrowed the DVD of Doctor Zhivago, and watched all four hours of it. Of course I've read the book, but it was the David Lean film that had changed my world back then. Now, forty years later, Omar Sharif's brooding, ponderous silences in the lead role are somehow embar- rassingly romantic—I'm watching this with my matter-of-fact, tell-it-like-it-is Gen-Y children. And Julie Christie's pale lips, ash-blonde hair and bluer-than- blue eyes are somehow very sixties. The English-language dialogue in a film set in Russia seems quaint. Yet I surprise myself remembering scenes and bits of dialogue with the same immediacy as it seemed to have then. In 1965 I was in fourth form, as we called it then, and enjoying the rare good fortune to be learning Russian. I say enjoying, because it was my favourite subject, and taught by my favourite teacher. Russia was exotic and powerful and danger- ous, and this, as Robert Dessaix has eloquently noted in his book (and so forth), [212] Language of the Heart carried a certain erotic charge:'... there was a kind of erotic fascination at the heart of our attachment to our subject'. Four years earlier the Soviet Union had shown her scientific superiority by putting Yuri Gagarin into orbit, and the year after that had scared all our parents witless during the Cuban missile crisis.

In these pages you will once again find a full record of the extensive events programme which we delivered during the course of our 2018-2019 series. Topics and regions predictably included Brexit, China, Russia, the Middle East and the US, as well the big global issues of the day: climate change, terrorism, globalisation, cybersecurity. But the breadth and range of countries, region and topics covered was striking, from Brazil to Yemen, and from international development and the Commonwealth to the return of great power rivalry, attracting record audiences along the way. Unsurprisingly, much focus and political capital has continued to lie with the Brexit process, which has dominated the public discourse. But in GSF debates throughout the year on the UK’s role in the world, I observed a clear desire – demand, even - for substance to be given to the concept of ‘Global Britain’ and a firm eschewal of any reduction in our engagement in world events. During this period of change and uncertainty in the UK and beyond, the answers to the many complicated questions of policy and strategy facing us remain elusive, but GSF’s mandate requires us to continue to strive to seek them.
