  • Dead Heroes and Living Saints: Orthodoxy
    Dead Heroes and Living Saints: Orthodoxy, Nationalism, and Militarism in Contemporary Russia and Cyprus By Victoria Fomina Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Vlad Naumescu Professor Dorit Geva CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2019 Budapest, Hungary Statement I hereby declare that this dissertation contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions and no materials previously written and / or published by any other person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Victoria Fomina Budapest, August 16, 2019 CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This dissertation explores commemorative practices in contemporary Russia and Cyprus focusing on the role heroic and martyrical images play in the recent surge of nationalist movements in Orthodox countries. It follows two cases of collective mobilization around martyr figures – the cult of the Russian soldier Evgenii Rodionov beheaded in Chechen captivity in 1996, and two Greek Cypriot protesters, Anastasios Isaak and Solomos Solomou, killed as a result of clashes between Greek and Turkish Cypriot protesters during a 1996 anti- occupation rally. Two decades after the tragic incidents, memorial events organized for Rodionov and Isaak and Solomou continue to attract thousands of people and only seem to grow in scale, turning their cults into a platform for the production and dissemination of competing visions of morality and social order. This dissertation shows how martyr figures are mobilized in Russia and Cyprus to articulate a conservative moral project built around nationalism, militarized patriotism, and Orthodox spirituality.

  • Kiosk Wars/CD Review
    December 1, 2010 Hi John- Here are the CD reviews for the Januaary 2011 issue. I'll be by your office later today to give you the CD covers for scanning. Sending file as back up. Talk soon, Perri Kiosk Wars: The Big Guns Battle for Minimarket Shelf Space Perri Pagonis [email protected] The music industry has gone through such dramatic changes in the past twenty years, that it’s hard to keep track of what’s happening with the record companies at any given moment. Vinyl records, although widely accepted by audiophiles as the most satisfying way to hear recorded music, is for collectors and DJs only. CDs are still the storage medium being most widely manufactured and distributed, however, they are becoming more technologically passé on a daily basis. Downloading digital music off of the Internet in MP3 and other forms is the current youth rage, but kids seem to download scads of stuff on a whim, often times an artist’s entire oeuvre in one fell swoop, and then forget to listen to it. The MySpace phenomenon on the web has made any band’s music, I mean any band’s music, from Micronesian punk rock goofball stuff to selected arias from monumental Italian opera stars, available to download into your computer’s hard disk in seconds. As the age of global stadium stars has dwindled down to a mere handful of selected acts: Rolling Stones, Madonna, U2, AC/DC, Metallica etc, so too has the Greek music scene splintered into a few revered giants and hordes of mewling newbies.

  • Former Dimitris Mitropanos. a Man Who, Through His Personal Career, Man- Aged to Change Forever the Greek Music
    his year, seven years are completed since the death of the great Greek per- former Dimitris Mitropanos. A man who, through his personal career, man- aged to change forever the Greek music. He was not a simple performer. He sang the pains and woes of a whole nation. He left behind work that T expressed and stunned the gener- ations that passed, and he would continue to touch those who will follow. He was born on April 2, 1948, in Trikala. A child of the EAM Resis- tance and DSE who were chased hard by the bourgeois state and its mechanisms. Dimitris Mitropanos was forced to fight early for his life by looking for a job, working as a waiter and then as a carpenter supporting his family financially. In 1964 he began his first perfor- mances as a singer, creating the first good impressions. During his stay in Athens, he was organ- ised at the Lambrakis youth and received the first threats due to his left-wing payments for which he was eventually not allowed to study. Then Dimitris Mitropanos stood next to the Communist Party of Greece despite the in- dividual disputes until the end of his life. As EDON, we dedicate the third night of the 32nd Festi- val on July 5th, to honour the memory and work that this great Greek singer has left us and to travel together through his songs that well-known per- formers will perform including Yannis Kotsiras, Giota Nega, Miltos Paschalidis and Chris- tos Mastoras. We will be ex- pecting everyone there.

In 1983 the Greek State acquired it and converted it into a Cultural Centre of Western Thessaloniki. • The restoration of the original building and the construction of the new part was included in the program of the big projects, which were developed by the Organization of the Cultural Capital of Europe “Thessaloniki 1997”. • The Non-profit Organization of Moni Lazariston was founded in 1998 and is responsible for the maintenance and the administration of the building complex of Moni Lazariston. 4 5 Moni Lazariston The spaces & their uses • The whole complex covers 20.000 sq.m. • It has two modern theatrical stages of 657 seats and 150 seats respectively, mainly operated by the National Theatre of Northern Greece (NTNG). • The old part of the building accommodates the State Museum of Contemporary Art, which hosts the most significant Russian Avant-Garde Collection outside Russia, the Costakis collection with 1.275 works.
