  • Jorge Joestar by Maijo Otaro Based on Characters Created by Araki Hirohiko for Araki Hirohiko ONE
    Jorge Joestar by Maijo Otaro based on characters created by Araki Hirohiko For Araki Hirohiko ONE Tsukumojuku 九十九十九 My name is Jorge Joestar. The name was taken from my aristocratic grandfather but written the Spanish style. I asked why Mum didn't spell it George like a proper English name, but she just smiled and said, "Well, you were born in the Canary Islands, and if I named you George, we couldn't very well call you Jojo, could we?" My father – he died in a shipwreck – was named Jonathan Joestar, and had gone his whole life by the nickname Jojo; he'd died so soon after their wedding that Mum, still deeply in love with him, had her heart set on my inheriting that nickname. Sadly, only Spaniards lived on La Palma, and nobody called me Jojo; Mum and Lisa Lisa called me 'George' and everyone pronounced my name the Spanish way: 'Horhe'. Pointing this out to Mum just made her look sad, so I held my tongue. Frankly, what they called me was the least of my problems. For as long as I could remember, I was tormented by Spanish-speaking jackanapes – this very day they'd rubbed dog shit on my face on the way home from school. They'd managed to get some up my nose and no matter how much I washed my face the stink remained. But they'd been trying to make me eat it, so I guess I got off easy. Like she always did, Lisa Lisa found us and saved me before they could force the shit all the way in.

  • 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.

    Russian Folk Art as Souvenirs Every person traveling around the world often questions: “what would be a good souvenirs to bring back home?” Now, of course your child is a best thing that you get from the country, but there are always things that you would like to give to your relatives and friends once you are back home. Here are several suggestions and historical background on some of most famous Russian Folk gifts that you can choose as souvenirs. Souvenirs that would be unique, beautiful and useful. You will be amazed with the variety of choice… Hohloma Hohloma wood painting is a unique ancient Russian folk craft. The birth-place of Hohloma is the forest area of Nizhny Novgorod region to the north-east of the river Volga. Hohloma is the name of a big village on the left bank of the Volga. From the earliest times masters who lived in that region made amazingly beautiful woodenware, and in the 17th century hohloma painting art was formed as a folk art phenomenon. The craft has gained world fame due to its original technique and the beauty of traditional Russian decorative patterns. Turned or carved with special chisels, articles made of limewood, are primed with clay, coated with "olifa" (boiled linseed oil), and then with powdered aluminium. After being silvered in this way, the objects are painted with refractory oil colours and then lacquered several times and tempered in ovens. The heat of 1000 makes the varnish yellow, turning "the silver" into "gold" and softening the bright colours of the painted ornament with an even golden tone.

  • 190000, Russia, Saint Petersburg, Admiralteysky Canal Embankment, 2
    St Petersburg, 11 December 2018 PRESS-RELEASE THE NEW YEAR HOLIDAYS AT NEW HOLLAND ISLAND 25 December 2018 – 8 January 2019 From 25 December to 8 January there will be a New Year Market in the courtyard of the Bottle on New Holland Island, with 14 stalls selling festive food, treats and gifts located around a central, 8-metre high Christmas Tree. The Bottle’s ground-floor residents will also be serving seasonal food and drink on two additional temporary stalls. The courtyard will be decked out with patio-heaters and chairs, and from 15 to 31 December there will be a Christmas Tree market open next to the Bottle’s main entrance. This year there will be a New Year Post service on the charity stall, which will allow anyone to leave a gift for others who have fallen on hard times, and who need just the very basic things in life – care and support. Gifts will be collected for the homeless charity Nochlezhka, for the Anton's right here foundation, the regional branch of Age and Joy, the Warm Home foundation, the Mother and Child charity project and the Centre for the Social Rehabilitation of Disabled Adults and Children in the Vyborg region. The gifts will be delivered by volunteers. The whole of New Holland Island has been spruced up for the opening of the New Year Market: a third huge Nutcracker toy-soldier has been added to the two currently standing guard over the entrance to the Bottle, with the new arrival looking on from the direction of the Foundry.

    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №132 March 2019 The monument to the Royal Martyrs at the St. Seraphim Cathedral in Vyatka "For the first time in 100 years, a descendant of the Romanovs appeared in Vyatka" From 17 to 20 of March the great-great-grandson of Alexander III, the great-grandson of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna - the sister of Emperor Nicholas II - Paul E. Kulikovsky and his wife Ludmila visited Vyatka. They were invited by the regional public organization "Revival of Vyatka". Paul E. Kulikovsky - "Kirov, or Vyatka as we prefer to call the city, was one of the places on our "to-visit-list", as we want to visit all the places in Russia directly related to the Romanovs, and especially those in which the Romanovs were in exile after the revolution. That is why first of all were visited Romanov related locations and city landmarks. But for the local citizens the main event was a presentation of the book of memoirs of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna “25 Chapters of my life”, followed by a press- conference. City history The city is actually called Kirov - in honour of one of the Stalin co- workers – Sergei Kirov killed in 1934 – but many citizens still use the historical name Vyatka. It was established in 1174. From 1457 to 1780 it was called Khlynov, from 1780 to 1934 Vyatka, and now Kirov. It is the administrative centre of the Kirov region and located on the Vyatka River, 896 km northeast of Moscow. Population is about 507,155 (2018).

  • Nick Fielding
    Travellers in the Great Steppe FROM THE PAPAL ENVOYS TO THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION NICK FIELDING “In writing this book I have tried to explain some of the historical events that have affected those living in the Great Steppe – not an easy task, as there is little study of this subject in the English language. And the disputes between the Russians and their neighbours and between the Bashkirs, the Kazakhs, the Turkomans, the Kyrgyz and the Kalmyks – not to mention the Djungars, the Dungans, the Nogai, the Mongols, the Uighurs and countless others – means that this is not a subject for the faint-hearted. Nonetheless, I hope that the writings referred to in this book have been put into the right historical context. The reasons why outsiders travelled to the Great Steppe varied over time and in themselves provide a different kind of history. Some of these travellers, particularly the women, have been forgotten by modern readers. Hopefully this book will stimulate you the reader to track down some of the long- forgotten classics mentioned within. Personally, I do not think the steppe culture described so vividly by travellers in these pages will ever fully disappear. The steppe is truly vast and can swallow whole cities with ease. Landscape has a close relationship with culture – and the former usually dominates the latter. Whatever happens, it will be many years before the Great Steppe finally gives up all its secrets. This book aims to provide just a glimpse of some of them.” From the author’s introduction.

  • 5 Types of Kokoshnik Tiaras
    5 TYPES OF KOKOSHNIK TIARAS There’s a surprising variety of design possibilities for kokoshnik tiaras. Here are 5 drool-worthy examples and their stories. FILE UNDER: TIARAS WANT ME TO READ THIS POST TO YOU? N A PREVIOUS POST, I TALKED ABOUT I Grand Duchess Hilda of Baden’s stolen tiara. That tiara is a kokoshnik, so I thought I’d explain what that means and show you a few examples. WHAT’S A KOKOSHNIK? THE KOKOSHNIK IS A TRADITIONAL Russian headdress. It’s shaped like a halo, widest above the forehead and a little narrower at the sides. If you’ve seen the golden halos of saints in Russian icons or other Christian art, you get the general idea. Here’s a Russian icon of Our Lady of Kazan from the 19th century: IMAGE B Y ХОМЕЛКА, CC BY- SA 3.0 VIA WIKIMEDIA COMMONS. GIRLINTHETIARA.COM | 5 TYPES OF KOKOSHNIK TIARAS The earliest versions of kokoshniks were covered with fabric and tied on with ribbons at the side. This version is from a painting by Viktor Vasnetsov – he was famous for his romanticized depictions of Russian history and folklore, including a super-famous painting of Ivan the Terrible you’d probably recognize if you saw it. You know the one – Ivan’s throwing creeptastic side-eye, dressed in a fur cap and gold brocade tunic, and holding a staff with a pointy end like he’s about to stab a bitch. IMAGE BY ВАСНЕЦОВ, P UBLIC DOMAIN VIA WIKIMEDIA COMMONS.

The article is devoted to the problem of reflection of the national linguistic world view in the school course "Russian as a native language". The purpose of the study is to characterize the content of the school course of the Russian language, which contributes to the formation of the concept of the native language as a spiritual, moral and cultural value of the nation. The main issues of the content of the Russian as a native language course, reflecting the national linguistic world view, are defined and described. It is noted that the content aspect of education is distinguished by the strengthening of the value orientation of education. 1 Introduction Modern pedagogy involves an axiological approach, the basis of which is the individual as an important value of society and the purpose of social development. From this perspective, education is a combination of moral, cultural and ethical orientations of a person who is able to adapt, which is, on the one hand, a means of transmission of culture, and on the other hand, contributes to the formation of a new culture. Basing on the interaction between education and culture, students form the perceptual unity of the surrounding reality. The approach, in which the main attention is paid to the development of values of material and spiritual culture, predetermined the transition from a knowledge- centered learning paradigm to a culture-congruent one and the establishment of a culturological orientation in teaching the Russian language.
