Troiker 042010 Eng 1
[EDITORIAL] Dear Troikers, In this issue of The Troiker we tried to look into the future, but we quickly decided not to get carried away, however tempting this may be. The future is ever-changing, dependant upon the roads we take today and the decisions we make right now. Behrad Khamesee, inventor of microscopic robots, spends his days doing his work, hardly preoccupied with the thought that ten years from now these robots will perform surgery at the cellular level. His life is here and now, enraptured with his invention and giving it his all. Ukranian inventor Igor Pasternak is busy working on a hybrid airplane and blimp. He may have the occasional reverie that his ‘flying mansion’ will one day become the most popular mode of transport, but he spends most of his time making this wonder a reality. Behind every new discovery stands a person enraptured by their idea taking pleasure in realizing it. This issue of our magazine isn’t just about the future, but the people who create it. The key interviews in this issue cover Troika’s strategy and development prospects. The ‘Profession’ column reveals the myths and reality of the work of compliance officers. The ‘Team’ section is about the magicians in the IT Department. Read, dare, create!

Press-Kit Presents a Film by Konstantin Lopushansky THROUGH THE
Press-kit presents A film by Konstantin Lopushansky THROUGH THE BLACK GLASS The drama titled Through the Black Glass is a modern interpretation of such famous classical plots as Cinderella and Scarlet Sails, with a touch of Chaplin`s City Lights. The main heroine is an 18-year-old blind girl from a provincial orphanage, who unexpectedly gets a chance of a lifetime. A wealthy man offers to pay for an expensive eye surgery on the condition that she agrees to marry him before the operation, without a single glance at the groom. Alas, fate hands out happy endings sparingly, and the vision, miraculously regained by the heroine, gives her an unpleasant insight into stark realities of life. The film directed by Konstantin Lopushansly, who also wrote the original script, is not just a new rendition of the classical plot; it is a deep glance at the ambiguous relationship between men and women in the present-day Russia. The author makes an emphasis on dynamics of editing, music, photography, and, obviously, the choice of actors. The director says, “You can analyze the film in view of several genres: tragic melodrama, a modern rendition of the classical Cinderella plot, and a religious drama loosely based on the conceptual conflict in Dostoevsky`s Gentle Creature. The story is centered at the tragic collision of two world outlooks: the religious belief and the atheistic view, set against the newest Russian history. The latter interpretation is the closest to me, and is in tune with my views as a film director. Yet, this still leaves space for detailed elaboration into the other two variants, melodrama being the priority. -

Romanov News Новости Романовых
Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №114 September 2017 Emperor Nicholas I. Watercolour by Alexander I. Klünder Monument to Emperor Nicholas I unveiled in Czech Republic September 19.TASS - A monument to Emperor Nicholas I (1825-1855) was opened in the spa town of Teplice in the north of the Czech Republic. This was announced by Consul-General of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Karlovy Vary (West Bohemia) Igor Melnik. "The monument to Nicholas I was erected in the very centre of Teplice next to the monuments of Peter the Great and Alexander I," he stressed. "This idea supported by local authorities, was conceived long ago, but was postponed, primarily because of the lack of necessary funds." Monuments to Russian autocrats in Teplice were created by People's Artist of Russia Vladimir Surovtsev. The patrons of the project are the organization of Russian compatriots in the Czech Republic "The Ark-Arch" and the General Consulate of the Russian Federation in Karlovy Vary. Sovereigns from the Romanov dynasty, actively implementing the idea of uniting the Slavs under the sceptre of mighty Russia on the international arena, have forever entered the history of Teplice. The Grand Duke and the future Emperor of Russia Nicholas I twice visited this city: in 1815 at the age of 19, and in 1818, when he turned 22. He took part in laying the foundation and then opening a monument to Russian soldiers who died for Europe's freedom in the struggle against Napoleon. The elder brother of Nicholas I, Emperor Alexander I, arrived in Teplice during the foreign campaigns of the Russian Imperial Army during the Napoleonic wars in 1813. -

Ministério da Cultura apresenta Banco do Brasil apresenta e patrocina Produção Geração Praça Moscou: O Cinema Húngaro Contemporâneo O Ministério da Cultura e o Banco do Brasil apresentam Geração Praça Moscou: O Cinema Húngaro Contemporâneo. A mostra contempla um debate e dezesseis filmes produzidos nos anos 2000, que traçam um panorama da nova produção cinematográfica da Hungria. As películas, em sua maioria inéditas no Brasil, integraram diversos festivais internacionais e exibem um olhar sobre a geração pós-comunista do Leste Europeu. O filme Praça Moscou, que intitula a seleção, é um dos precursores desta expressão da nova realidade cinematográfica da Hungria. Ao realizar este projeto, o Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil reafirma sua proposta de promover programação que estimule reflexão por meio de temas importantes e polêmicos, além de apresentar ao público uma filmografia internacional pouco divulgada no país. Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil ISBN 978-85-85688-55-4 “Talvez seja a ironia que nos liga. Em nossos filmes, não há brincadeira e gargalhada. O humor é fruto do encarar o mundo.” György Pálfi, diretor, referindo-se aos cineastas de sua geração 1989 O ano de 1989 foi decisivo para o sistema socialista no Leste Europeu: em janeiro, Károly Grósz, o primeiro ministro da Hungria, anuncia que em algumas semanas começará o recuo das tropas soviéticas do país. O 41º presidente dos EUA assume oficialmente seu cargo; é George H. W. Bush, que viria a advogar pela necessidade do pluripartidarismo em uma posterior visita oficial à Alemanha Ocidental – a das eleições livres e da queda do Muro de Berlim. -
Stilyagi (Crnnrrn) Review - ESCAPE from HOLLYWOOD I the International Cinema Addict's Definitive Resource 814ILL 4:T2 PM
Stilyagi (Crnnrrn) Review - ESCAPE from HOLLYWOOD I the international cinema addict's definitive resource 814ILL 4:T2 PM Stilyagi (Crnilntlt) Review Published May 151h,2009 in Europe & Russia and Reviews. 4 Comments Musical comedy is hardly a genre most people would associate with modern Russian cinema. Traditionally known and respected for such somber and inquisitive works as Nikita Mikhalkov's Burnt by the Sun (1994), Andrei Zvyagintsev's The Return (2001), and Aleksei Balabanov's Cargo 200 (2OO7), post-Soviet Russian directors had generally focused on negative aspects of the Russian experience until the early 2000s, when waves of cash flowing from the country's oil and gas-fueled economic boom finally reached the film industry, resulting in the production of commercially-oriented blockbusters such as Night Watch (2OO4) and The 9th Company (2OO5). Continuing this trend and taking it in a new direction is Valeriy Todorovskiy's new frlm Stilyagi (Hipsters). Featuring an all-star cast, dynamic script and slick cinematography, Stilyagi takes the viewer on an epic joy ride through 1955 Moscow, two years after Stalin's death. At the height of the Cold War in the Soviet Union, the titular stilyagi were a bunch of Western-oriented hipsters who loved jazz, exhibited questionable morals and enjoyed dressing with style. Mels (Anton Shagin), a seemingly brainwashed member of the Communist youth group Komsomol, falls in love with Polza (Oksana Akinshina) while raiding an illegal underground nightclub . Polza invites Mels to join her and her friends on the "Broadway" and Mels is dumbfounded when he shows up to the party dressed plainly and looking apologetic. -

Romanov News Новости Романовых By Paul Kulikovsky №78 October 2014 150 years since the birth of Holy Martyr Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna By Paul Kulikovsky Born on 1st of November (old style 20 October) 1864, Her Grand Ducal Highness Princess Elisabeth Alexandra Louise Alice of Hessen and by Rhine, was the second child of Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hessen and by Rhine and British Princess Alice. Through her mother, she was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Princess Alice chose the name "Elisabeth" for her daughter after visiting the shrine of St. Elisabeth of Hungary, ancestress of the House of Hessen. Elisabeth was known as "Ella" within her family. In the autumn of 1878, diphtheria swept through the Hessen household, killing Elisabeth's youngest sister, Marie on 16 November, as well as her mother Alice on 14 December. Elisabeth was considered by many contemporaries as one of the most beautiful women in Europe at that time. Many became infatuated with Elisabeth, but it was Russian Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich who ultimately won Elisabeth's heart. Sergei and Elisabeth married on 15 (3) June 1884, at the Chapel of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. She became Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna. “Everyone fell in love with her from the moment she came to Russia from her beloved Darmstadt”, wrote one of Sergei's cousins. The couple settled in the Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace in St. Petersburg, but after Sergei was appointed Governor-General of Moscow by his elder brother, Tsar Alexander III, in 1892, they resided in the Governor palace. During the summer, they stayed at Ilyinskoe, an estate outside Moscow that Sergei had inherited from his mother.
