S AVIN G S Dear Graduates, Parents and Friends of Brown: Like America’s Mississippi River or Germany’s Rhine, Ukraine’s Dnieper River has defined a nation. Sweeping across the Ukrainian countryside, it has traced a broad course through Ukrainian history. Intrepid Viking warrior-merchants once plied its waters, seeking trade routes to the Black Sea and Constantinople. Along its banks rose the stately city of Kiev, and across the Dnieper’s fertile plains Cossack horsemen once rode. Join us on an 11-night voyage on the Dnieper River and the Black Sea aboard the M.S. DNIEPER PRINCESS, the finest ship cruising Ukrainian waterways. From ancient Kiev, a thriving political, religious, cultural and commercial center when Moscow was little more than a village, sail south along the Dnieper through a landscape of tranquil beauty, passing through wooded hills, endless steppes and lush farmlands. Cross the Black Sea to the Crimean Peninsula, a popular retreat since the days of the czars, and to the cosmopolitan seaport of Odessa, Ukraine’s gateway to Turkey and the lands of the Eastern Mediterranean. This unique itinerary introduces you to the seldom-seen treasures of a nation reasserting its identity and reclaiming its roots as it rises from seven decades of Soviet domination.

A degree in Russian Language & Literature, with Byzantine Art, reinforced her passionate interest in all things Russian. This, and the extensive knowledge she has acquired through years of visits to Russia, make her tours very special. Detailed Itinerary Once again, by popular demand, Tania Illingworth (née Tolstoy) visits St. Petersburg - the legendary city founded by Peter the Great on the Gulf of Finland in 1703. This special tour explores the unique and unsurpassed legacy of architectural and artistic treasures, created and collected by successive Tsars, Tsarinas and their courtiers, both in the city itself and the surrounding countryside. St. Petersburg remains the only post WW2 city in Europe to have been rebuilt to its original 18th / 19th century classical skyline and retains an unique architectural harmony. The glorious palaces are fully furnished complete with all their works of art. The tour is accompanied throughout by Tania Illingworth and two guides, including one day at the Palaces accompanied by the fluent English speaking Professor Alexei Leporc, a Curator in the Department of Western European Art at the State Hermitage Museum in St.

  • Romanov News Новости Романовых
    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.
