We all know that Jews were repressed by the Soviets, however it is a little known fact that the Nazis efficiently and ruthlessly eliminated a large number of Jews from Soviet territory they occupied. Phil Baillie investigates. Geoffrey Cox OBE is somebody who many of us know. He is returning to England, al- though he will be visiting from time to time on business. His departure marks something of an end of an era of expat life here in Russia, as the original post-perestroika settlers gradually move on. In this month’s ‘Last Word’, Geoffrey outlines some of the good and bad times in his career here. Anth Ginn, a writer from England visited me for two weeks in August. This is the second time he has visited Russia, the first when he was cold-shouldered as a tourist not know- ing anybody here; and the second when he came as a guest. His perceptions of Russia during these two visits couldn’t have been more different, something that points out just how easy it is to misinterpret this country. Anth tells his story on page 26: Don’t Listen to Dead Fish. John Ortega On the subject of visiting Russians, deputy editor Elena Krivovyaz writes on how to be- Owner and Publisher have yourself when visiting Russians socially. For example: never refuse food and drinks, and take the sign of the desert being put on the table as a subtle hint that you should leave soon, as no Russian will ever tell you that it is time to go. Whenever one reads a decent book about Russia, the name of Professor William Brum- field; the world’s expert on Russian architecture, comes up. But who is Professor William Brumfield? Does he actually exist? He does, and for this issue, Passport interviewed him and reviewed his classic work: A History of Russian Architecture. These are just some of the articles in this month’s issue. I hope you enjoy it.

  • Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. Defrantz from Bronx's Hip-Hop To
    Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. DeFrantz From Bronx’s Hip-Hop to Bristol’s Trip-Hop As Tricia Rose describes, the birth of hip-hop occurred in Bronx, a marginalized city, characterized by poverty and congestion, serving as a backdrop for an art form that flourished into an international phenomenon. The city inhabited a black culture suffering from post-war economic effects and was cordoned off from other regions of New York City due to modifications in the highway system, making the people victims of “urban renewal.” (30) Given the opportunity to form new identities in the realm of hip-hop and share their personal accounts and ideologies, similar to traditions in African oral history, these people conceived a movement whose worldwide appeal impacted major events such as the Million Man March. Hip-hop’s enormous influence on the world is undeniable. In the isolated city of Bristol located in England arose a style of music dubbed trip-hop. The origins of trip-hop clearly trace to hip-hop, probably explaining why artists categorized in this genre vehemently oppose to calling their music trip-hop. They argue their music is hip-hop, or perhaps a fresh and original offshoot of hip-hop. Mushroom, a member of the trip-hop band Massive Attack, said, "We called it lover's hip hop. Forget all that trip hop bullshit. There's no difference between what Puffy or Mary J Blige or Common Sense is doing now and what we were doing…” (Bristol Underground Website) Trip-hop can abstractly be defined as music employing hip-hop, soul, dub grooves, jazz samples, and break beat rhythms.

To my father, Anatolii Sviridenok, a devoted Academician for 50 years ABSTRACT This interdisciplinary dissertation explores the World of Art (Mir Iskusstva, 1899- 1904), The Golden Fleece (Zolotoe runo, 1906-1909) and Apollo (Apollon, 1909- 1917), three art periodicals that became symbols of the print revival and Europeanization in late Imperial Russia. Preoccupied with high quality art reproduction and graphic design, these journals were conceived and executed as art objects and examples of fine book craftsmanship, concerned with the physical form and appearance of the periodical as such. Their publication advanced Russian book art and stimulated the development of graphic design, giving it a status comparable to that of painting or sculpture.

Unsmilingly, the clerk, not of the first freshness, but dutiful, handed her the forms, whereupon, the woman in black pants yelled: “Why are you looking at me like that?” The clerk answered mechanically, “I wasn’t looking at you” “Yes you were”, was the retort, “and why are you grumbling like that at me?” “I’m not grumbling at you” “Yes, you are and you’re not doing your job”.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Zea E-Books by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Remarkable Russian Women in Pictures, Prose and Poetry N Marcelline Hutton Many Russian women of the late 19th and early 20th centuries tried to find happy marriages, authentic religious life, liberal education, and ful- filling work as artists, doctors, teachers, and political activists. Some very remarkable ones found these things in varying degrees, while oth- ers sought unsuccessfully but no less desperately to transcend the genera- tions-old restrictions imposed by church, state, village, class, and gender. Like a Slavic “Downton Abbey,” this book tells the stories, not just of their outward lives, but of their hearts and minds, their voices and dreams, their amazing accomplishments against overwhelming odds, and their roles as feminists and avant-gardists in shaping modern Russia and, in- deed, the twentieth century in the West.
