												  REED RUSSIA TOUR 5-20 MAY 2012 Dr. Judson Rosengrant This Is TheREED RUSSIA TOUR 5-20 MAY 2012 Dr. Judson Rosengrant This is the eighth East-European tour sponsored by the Reed Russian Department and Alumni Office, and it is offered as a survey of Russian culture from its beginnings through the modern era, with emphasis, this time, on Russia's rich literary heritage. We will visit the country's two largest cities, the present capital, Moscow, and the former one, St. Peters- burg, and make overnight trips to Yasnaya Polyana (Clear Glade) and Novgorod the Great, the first the picturesque and culturally numinous estate and burial place of Leo Tolstoy, and the second the oldest Russian city and the home of superb architecture from the eleventh through the seventeenth centuries, including ancient monasteries, epicenters of the Orthodox Christianity that helped to lay the foundations of Russian culture over a millen- nium ago (the East Slavs were converted by the Byzantines in 988) and that retains an important place in it today. Established in 1147 by Prince Yury Dolgoruky, a scion of the Kievan dynasty that ruled the East Slavs from the ninth to the thirteenth century when it fell to the Mongols and their nearly two-hundred year Yoke or domination, Moscow is today a vibrant world city that holds fast to its deep history even as it moves ahead to the rhythms of the twenty-first century. We will acquaint ourselves with Moscow's most remarkable sites, including Red Square and the Kremlin with its splendid fifteenth- and sixteenth-century cathedrals and superb Armory historical museum; the lovely New-Maiden Convent (founded 1524); the State Tretyakov Gallery, the country's largest collection of Russian art, with works from the first third of the twelfth century through the early twentieth; and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, with its outstanding holdings in European painting and sculpture, including masterpieces of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, thanks to the Moscow collectors Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov, who were among the first, East or West, to recognize the significance of the new art.

												  Russian Religion, Culture, Traditions. 9 Nights / 10 DaysRussian Religion, Culture, Traditions. 9 nights / 10 days. Day 1. MOSCOW. Arrival in Moscow. Meeting with guide. Transfer to hotel. Overnight at hotel. Due to the time of arrival, we can organize an activity, or simply have a splendid afternoon in the Russian capital. For example, we can visit The Arbat street. It is one of the oldest streets in Moscow. Its name comes from the word "Arbad" or "rabad" which means "suburb". In the years 1974 - 1986 Arbat became Pedestrian Street with many shops, cafes, shopping areas, restaurants, street vendors and so on. Today Arbat Street retains its own unique Moscow look of past centuries. Night in Moscow. Day 2. MOSCOW. Breakfast. Meeting with guide. We start our day with City tour. During the tour, we walk through the most attractive areas of Moscow: Red Square, Lenin’s Mausoleum and The Cathedral of Saint Basil. It is one of the architectural landmarks of the Russian capital and monuments of World Heritage. Construction of the cathedral was ordered by Tsar Ivan the Terrible and was made between 1555 and 1561. There is a legend that Czar Ivan blinded the architect Postnik Yakovlev with the project to avoid a construction that could overcome The Cathedral, but it seems clear that it is nothing more than a fable. Today the Cathedral is the most recognized symbol of the country. Nearby is the famous Bolshoi Theater, the imposing building of the Lubyanka, the former KGB, close to the wonderful churches of the old Kitay Gorod. Next stop will be near the majestic Cathedral of Christ the Savior of the Patriarch of Moscow, the highest Orthodox Church in the world.
