It’s the sweetest feeling when you see yourself 20 years earlier, full of hope or hopelessness. La Bohème is a gem of late 19th century lyrical psychological opera. It follows the traditions of Verdi’s La Traviata.

  • Perov and Mussorgsky 1834-1882 and 1839-1881
    This translation is published on koudasheva.com and on the blog ‘From the Music Cabinet’. Perov and Mussorgsky 1834-1882 and 1839-1881 Vladimir Vasilyevich Stasov First published in ‘Russian Antiquity’ [Русская старина] Volume 38 № 5, May 1883. 433-458. Accessed: https://runivers.ru/bookreader/book199538/#page/449/mode/1up [Владимир Васильевич Стасов: Перов и Мусоргский] Translation: Nadia Koudasheva1 -------- Venerable Mikhail Ivanovich, I ask you to provide some space in ‘Russian Antiquity’ [Русская Старина] for a few of my pages where I attempt to study and compare two of our great artistic individuals, in part using already publicised materials, and in part using those which have not appeared in print before. Both of these artists have already passed away into eternity, and hence they directly represent ‘material’ for ‘Russian Antiquity’, but it is the contents which they consistently instilled into their creations and which was always drawn from our old serfdom life, which represent national material. Since it is often with great interest and compassion that your readers meet the thoughts, judgements, assessments, and characterisations coming from the mouths of the multitude of personalities who have passed away long ago and who are passing through your journal in a rotating gallery, then maybe they will also find some interest in the thoughts and characterisations coming from people who although are still living, but are such that will aid in the complete understanding and definition of those great personalities who are already no more and who indeed belong to history. V. S. -------- I. To my surprise no one in our country has expressed this yet, but Perov and Mussorgsky display an amazing parallelism in the Russian artistic world.

This article focuses on one of the recent Russian TV shows called ’The Others’ (Drugie) directed by Olga Dobrova-Kulikova and shown on Channel One in January 2019. This TV series tells the story of people with paranormal abilities or psychic powers in the context of Russia’s contemporary history. The topic of ’the others’ in the series interlaces with another, equally underexplored topic – that of the Russian history in the second half of the twentieth and the early Corresponding Author: twenty-first century, including the post-Stalin period, Khrushchev Thaw, Brezhnev era, Elena Sozina Perestroika and the post-Soviet period.

Maria Tatar, author of Beauty and the Beast: Classic Tales About ​ Animal Brides and Grooms from Around the World, notes that these ​ stories - about love, courtship, romance, marriage - give “a vivid, visual grammar for thinking about abstractions: cruelty and compassion, hostility and hospitality, predators and victims.”* They explore issues that are “as old as time:” the layers, complexities and contradictions at the heart of relationships.

  • I Depeche Mode Hanno Entusiasmato Lubiana Con Il Global Spirit Tour, Saranno in Italia a Giugno
    I DEPECHE MODE HANNO ENTUSIASMATO LUBIANA CON IL GLOBAL SPIRIT TOUR, SARANNO IN ITALIA A GIUGNO I Depeche Mode hanno portato il Global Spirit Tour all’Arena Stožice di Lubiana entusiasmando il pubblico che ha letteralmente riempito in ogni ordine di posti la bellissima struttura slovena. Dave Gahan, Martin Lee Gore e Andrew Fletcher hanno proposto un mix di brani vecchi e nuovi fra cui, ovviamente, hanno prevalso quelli tratti dal loro ultimo lavoroSpirit; per quanto i nuovi pezzi siano stati apprezzati dal pubblico (soprattutto Where’s the revolution) i Depeche Mode hanno fatto breccia fra i fan con i brani storici che li hanno resi noti in tutto il mondo: Enjoy the silence, in particolare, ha fatto saltare e ballare tutto il palazzetto (ma proprio tutto, fino ai posti più in alto dell’ultimo anello superiore!), regalando un colpo d’occhio incredibile con una moltitudine di braccia alzate al cielo che si agitavano a tempo di musica. The Raveonettes Il concerto organizzato da Nucoast Concerts è stato aperto, in perfetto orario, dai danesi The Raveonettes che hanno scaldato l’atmosfera proponendo alcuni brani tratti dal loro repertorio rock alternativo, alle 21.00 in punto sono partite le note della famosissima Revolution dei Beatles che hanno sancito l’inizio del concerto dei Depeche Mode, oltre due ore di musica culminate con la bellissima Personal Jesus. Di rilievo, fra i bis, una intensa interpretazione diHeroes, uno dei brani più belli di David Bowie, stravolto nello stile ma capace di ammaliare il pubblico che ha risposto cantandolo in coro e tributando lunghissimi applausi al carismatico Dave Gahan e compagni.
