In recognition of this season of change, Passport‘s features this month are connected with a “makeover” theme. For example, our October Russian Star is master of makeover Alexander Glushkov, founder and CEO of Mone, Moscow’s biggest chain of beauty salons (page 34). Of course, since any mention of aesthetic alteration immediately reminds the Moscow resident of the changes happening in the city itself, our October issue provides a number of articles about Moscow’s own makeover. Olga Slobodkina von-Bromssen’s art history column explores the work of Moscow artist Alexei Aizenman (page 16), whose cityscapes preserve Moscow’s face in oils; James Brooke talks to architect Frank Williams (page 18), whose design for the Mercury City skyscraper will change the capital’s skyline forever; and Isabelle Hale digs into the foundations of Park Huaming, a Chinese twist on Moscow’s building boom (page 38). Th en there’s our Passport Poll (page 56). Th is month’s question: If you could change one thing about the city of Moscow, what would it be? On the entertainment front, Andy Potts traces the infl uence of traditional Russian folk music John Ortega on the contemporary music scene (page 12), while Marina Lukanina and Irina Gavrilova examine the phenomenon of reality television in Russia (page 20). And don’t even think about missing our Owner and Publisher regular features, including Weekend Getaway (this month’s pick: Astana, capital of Kazakhstan, page 28) and Restaurant Review (the new Cuban joint in town, Floridita, page 42). Of course, for many Westerners, and increasingly for Russians, October is also the month of Halloween. So in honor of that holiday, John Harrison has done some exploration of pre- Christian traditions that endure in modern Russian culture (Pagan Russia, page 30). Plus a look at an unholy recreational option available in Moscow (Parachuting, page 27). So close that window, please — it’s cold out there — and turn the page for some treats (it’s no trick!). P.S. By the way, it’s never too early to start preparing for our November travel issue!

  • In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence
    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Joesell Radford, BA Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Beverly Gordon, Advisor Professor Adrienne Dixson Copyrighted by Crystal Joesell Radford 2011 Abstract This study critically analyzes rap through an interdisciplinary framework. The study explains rap‟s socio-cultural history and it examines the multi-generational, classed, racialized, and gendered identities in rap. Rap music grew out of hip-hop culture, which has – in part – earned it a garnering of criticism of being too “violent,” “sexist,” and “noisy.” This criticism became especially pronounced with the emergence of the rap subgenre dubbed “gangsta rap” in the 1990s, which is particularly known for its sexist and violent content. Rap music, which captures the spirit of hip-hop culture, evolved in American inner cities in the early 1970s in the South Bronx at the wake of the Civil Rights, Black Nationalist, and Women‟s Liberation movements during a new technological revolution. During the 1970s and 80s, a series of sociopolitical conscious raps were launched, as young people of color found a cathartic means of expression by which to describe the conditions of the inner-city – a space largely constructed by those in power. Rap thrived under poverty, police repression, social policy, class, and gender relations (Baker, 1993; Boyd, 1997; Keyes, 2000, 2002; Perkins, 1996; Potter, 1995; Rose, 1994, 2008; Watkins, 1998).

  • Terror Machine
    1 2 3 4 Preface by Edward Crankshaw the now we know a good deal about the brutalities inflicted by the government of the Soviet Union upon those who incur its displeasure. The independent testimonies of survivors add up to a circumstantial and terrible indictment, so that it may be fairly said that anybody who still denies the evidence is the sort of person who would deny anything-or the sort of person who, to preserve his own illusions, will stop his ears to the cries of the dying and condemned. Where we are less well informed is about the effect of the regime on the great mass of Soviet citizens who have managed to keep out of serious trouble. It is not enough to be told by Soviet refugees what Russia looks like through spectacles acquired in Paris, London, or New York. We want to know what it looked like when they were still in Moscow, Odessa, or Novosibirsk, before they began to dream of escaping to the West, or at least before they knew enough about the West to make comparisons. This is not idle curiosity: it is the only way of getting even a faint idea of how the r6gime appears to those who must still live under it. Major Klimov's book is very helpful in this matter. It is a sober, yet vivid, account of life as lived inside the Soviet bureaucracy seen, as far as it is possible for an outsider to judge, very much as it appeared to the narrator before he decided to break away-as it must therefore appear to countless other intelligent Russians who are engaged at this moment in making the machine work.

The symbol’s broad ability to personify tragic events created a versatile system of imagery that transcended its folkloric derivations into the realm of Russian literature, becoming a constant literary device from eighteenth century to post-Soviet fiction. The vampire’s literary usage arose during and after the reign of Catherine the Great and continued into each politically turbulent time that followed. The authors examined in this thesis, Afanasiev, Gogol, Bulgakov, and Lukyanenko, each depicted the issues and internal turmoil experienced in Russia during their respective times. By employing the common mythos of the vampire, the issues suggested within the literature are presented indirectly to the readers giving literary life to pressing societal dilemmas. The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain the vampire’s function within Russian literary societal criticism by first identifying the shifts in imagery in the selected Russian vampiric works, then examining how the shifts relate to the societal changes of the different time periods.
