The person who played a major role in it was Giulio Litta , a knight of St. John, who made an outstanding diplomatic career in Russia during the reign of Cath- erine the Great. During Paul I’s reign Litta became the deputy Grand Master in Russia, the highest rank after the Emperor himself. CANTEMIR PALACE (7, Millionnaya Street) NATIVITY OF ST.

It has been known since the end of the 18th century, but became wide popular during Soliet era. The recipe is based on beet- root, potatoes and cucumbers. Some used to add meat or fish. The name of the dish is a story on its own. Vinaigrette is a type of salad dressing based on something acidic, like vinegar or lemon juice. One of the versions has a reference to a historical anecdote. Once upon a time, the great Empress of Russia, Catherine II, was served with a novelty dish made of boiled vegetables. She tasted it and exclaimed in disgust: “Phew! It’s cold!” which in old Russian sounds like “Fee-nee-greto”.

  • The Origins of Flag Day
    The Origins of Flag Day That the flag of the United States shall be of thirteen stripes of alternate red and white, with a union of thirteen stars of white in a blue field, representing the new constellation. This was the resolution adopted by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. The resolution was made following the report of a special committee which had been assigned to suggest the flag’s design. A flag of this design was first carried into battle on September 11, 1777, in the Battle of the Brandywine. The American flag was first saluted by foreign naval vessels on February 14, 1778, when the Ranger, bearing the Stars and Stripes and under the command of Captain Paul Jones, arrived in a French port. The flag first flew over a foreign territory in early 1778 at Nassau, Bahama Islands, where Americans captured a British fort. Observance of the adoption of the flag was not soon in coming, however. Although there are many claims to the first official observance of Flag Day, all but one took place more than an entire century after the flag’s adoption in 1777. The first claim was from a Hartford, Conn., celebration during the first summer of 1861. In the late 1800s, schools all over the United States held Flag Day programs to contribute to the Americanization of immigrant children, and the observance caught on with individual communities. The most recognized claim, however, comes from New York. On June 14, 1889, Professor George Bolch, principal of a free kindergarten for the poor of New York City, had his school hold patriotic ceremonies to observe the anniversary of the Flag Day resolution.

    “Visions of Azerbaijan”.-2010.-November/December.-p.8-12. State Flag Day by Mais Amrahov Ancient origins The word bayrag (flag) is Turkic in origin. It is mentioned in the 11th century dictionary Divani-lugat-it-turk (dictionary of the Turkish language) of Mahmud Kashkarli, both in the modern meaning and in literal meanings of the word bayrak – batrak. The word bayrag has the same meaning in most ancient and modern Turkic languages. Batrak, bayrak originated from the verb ‘to stick in’, to thrust (batir – batirmaq, sanjmag). Alongside bayrag other words were also used to mean flag: tugra, bunjug, sanjag - which also arose from the verb meaning to thrust (sanjmag). Archaeological finds in Azerbaijan confirm that flags to be used as standards were present even in the Bronze Age (4th – 2nd Millennium B.C.). Circular bronze boards and bronze standards in other shapes, decorated with various geometrical figures, such as a horned deer, an eight-pointed star and a radiant sun, were found during archaeological excavations carried out in Shaki and Shamkir; they were probably the symbols of the head of a tribe or ruling authority. Most of the standards found carried images of horned animals. These are also encountered in Assyrian reliefs of the 8-7 centuries B.C., depicting fortresses in Manna. Standards in these shapes probably served as talismans. In today’s Azerbaijan, the horns of goats and rams, animal skulls (dogs, horses, deer) are still fastened above gates and doors and used as symbols or talismans to protect against ‘the evil eye’ and malevolent deeds. The Azerbaijani flag has an ancient history.
