WHO OR WHAT IS RUSSIAN CHEBURASHKA? Sunday, 04 March 2012 20:23 {joomplu:1154 left} The little bear like character, which is loved by many all around the world, is one of Russia’s international symbols of recognition. CHEBURASHKA (Russian: Чебурашка) was originally a cartoon character in the Soviet Union entertaining children and even adults. Cheburashka since the fall of the Soviet Union has grown to worldwide popularity status as that little bear like animal with big ears. Eduard Uspensky first made up the cute little animal in 1966, in his children’s literature books. Soon after this in 1969, the first Cheburashka film was made. Soon after this, Cheburashka became an instant favorite of children all over the Soviet Union. Even to this date, adults and children alike can relate or remember songs that were featured in the cartoon series. The word “Cheburashka,” can be translated into English as “topple.” The story of Cheburashka is that he once lived in a tropical forest and one day stumbled upon a box of oranges. Cheburashka ate too much, fell asleep in the box of oranges, and the box was delivered to a store in a Russian city. Then after this, the shop manager named him Cheburashka. Cheburashka has his best friend named Gena. Gena is a crocodile that works in a zoo, and wears a bow tie, a hat, and a coat. Gena also sings and plays the accordion in the cartoon. The most famous songs in which are remembered by many from the Cheburashka cartoons are: “Such a pity that one’s birthday happens only once a year,” and “The blue train car.” {joomplu:1155}Cheburashka is now an international Russian symbol. The stuffed animals of Cheburashka can be bought all over Russia, and he is the toy that the Russian national athletes at the Olympics carry during the opening ceremony. Along with this, the Cheburashka stories can be found in countries such as Sweden and Estonia by different names. In Japan, the popularity of Cheburashka is so large, that it rivals that of Russia. There have been a few attempts to bring the Cheburashka cartoons back to life again in films and new stories, but they have been shot down in several instances. Cheburashka continues to be loved by many all around the globe, and will be continued to be loved, as this cute, fuzzy little animal is the favorite of children and adults in many countries. Who would have known that something so cute could be a symbol of Russia? Related Articles: 1 / 2 WHO OR WHAT IS RUSSIAN CHEBURASHKA?

Remembering the Socialist Past: Narratives of East German and Soviet Childhood in German and Russian Fiction and Autobiography Since 1990/1
Remembering the Socialist Past: Narratives of East German and Soviet Childhood in German and Russian Fiction and Autobiography since 1990/1 Submitted by Rebecca Louise Knight to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Russian in September 2012 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature ……………………………………………………………………………… 1 2 Abstract This study compares German memory of life in the German Democratic Republic with Russian memory of life in the Soviet Union, as represented and created within fictional and autobiographical narratives of childhood, published since the collapse of each regime. The chosen texts are, to varying degrees, fictionalized and/or autobiographical. A comparison between German and Russian narratives is particularly interesting because the socialist past is remembered very differently in each country’s public discourse and culture. An examination of narratives about childhood allows for a complex relationship between the post-socialist present and the socialist past to emerge. I study the texts and their reception, in conjunction with an analysis of the dominant ways of remembering the socialist past circulating within German and Russian society and culture. This allows the analysis to go beyond a straightforward comparison between the representations of the socialist past in the two groups of texts, to also explore how those representations are interpreted and received.

COMMENTS COPYRIGHT TRANSACTIONS WITH SOVIET AUTHORS: THE ROLE OF VAAP After this Comment was completed, the Soviet government officially elimi- nated VAAP's monopoly as of January 1, 1991. I. INTRODUCTION In the current climate of intensified business and cultural contacts between the United States and the Soviet Union, and with the Soviet market rapidly opening to the West, there is a need for basic knowledge of the operation of the Soviet legal system. This Comment attempts to expand the American legal community's understanding of how business is conducted with the Soviet Union in the area of literary copyright ac- quisition and sale. This understanding requires a close look at the nature and function of VAAP, the All-Union Agency on Copyrights, or, in transliteration, Vsesouznoye Agenstvo po Avtorskim Pravam.

How Have the Restrictions Linked to COVID-19 Affected the Inner-Tourism in Russia
E3S Web of Conferences 273, 09022 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202127309022 INTERAGROMASH 2021 How have the restrictions linked to COVID-19 affected the inner-tourism in Russia Elena Priss1*, and Alexey Chukhno1 1Don State Technical University, Gagarin square 1, Rostov-on-Don, 344000, Russia Abstract. Covid-19 has changed tourism significantly. Numerous research shows how various factors will affect travel after COVID-19. No doubt that tourism has become a major global industry with an annual average growth rate of 4-5%. It also creates 8% of the global GDP and 10% of employment. Yet it is also very vulnerable to crises of different origin such as natural disasters, epidemics, economic crises, political crises, terror, etc. Because tourism product (e.g. hotel beds, airline seats, restaurant tables, guide services) is perishable, unlike physical goods, they cannot be stored for future use. Past crises with few exceptions (e.g. 2008 Financial Crisis, 2014 Financial Crisis, the terroristic attack of airplane in Cairo 31st of October, 2015) had regional impacts and their global impact on tourism volume was limited. Yet, taking into account the speed and impact, Covid-19 is the most serious crises tourism industry has ever faced. This crisis is estimated to have a seven time larger impact on tourism than the 2008 Financial Crises. The effects of Covid-19 are expected to extend for two years and result in a decrease of 39-50% in global tourism volume. Tourism industry is expected to recover to 2019 pre-crises levels not before 2023. 1 Introduction Tourism is among the first and most severely affected industries from Covid-19.

SHAPKA USHANKA Tuesday, 28 February 2012 17:39
SHAPKA USHANKA Tuesday, 28 February 2012 17:39 {joomplu:1143 left} The USHANKA can be translated to a furry winter hat with earflaps. Men and women in Russia often wear the ushanka. The Ushanka got its name because of the hat having its ear-flaps being able to be tied on top of the hat or let down to the sides. When wearing the ushanka, one has several different options on how to wear it. The freedom to let the earflaps cover your ears from the harsh Russian winter proves to be helpful in the long run. The classical style of having the earflaps tied on top the hat can be seen in the old Soviet Union movies, thus, making the ushanka famous worldwide. {joomplu:1144}The history of the ushanka originates from the nomads of the steppes of ancient Kievan Rus and modern day lands of Russia. The Scythians were perhaps the first people to introduce the hat to other cultures. After the Scythians were driven from the lands, the Mongols and Cossacks adopted the hat to protect their heads from the brutal Russian winter. The ushanka proved to be very helpful for a nomad or traveler, as it allows the person to wear it in a number of different climatic conditions such as high winds, winter, snow, and high altitude. The prototype of the ushanka was called a Kolchakovka hat, in which was worn by the white armies of Kolchak in 1918-1919. Later, the ushanka was distributed to the workers of St. Petersburg, then all of Russia.
