Being born in Rybinsk in the fam- ily of musician and conductor Arkady Shatsky, she started her career in her father’s jazz band “Rainbow”. For a while she worked in the theater “Commonwealth of Taganka Actors”. Then she became an actress of the Moscow Theater School of Modern Play. There she was involved in a variety of productions, the most prominent being Anton Chekhov’s “Gull”, where she played the part of Polina Andreevna.

The band defines its style as “romantic alco-jazz”. Billy’s Band immediately became an avatar of St. Petersburg, a true symbol of the cultural capital, such as the White Nights and the Bascule Bridges. The musicians will present their new album “Petersburg Greeting Cards” and, of course, they will play their greatest hits. Date: July 20 Time: 8:00 pm Venue: Pobeda Location: ulitsa Lenina 7, m.

Sincere and at the same time ironic lyrics made Uma2rman both famous and beloved by the public. The band “Uma2rman” started out at 2003, when the brothers decided to join forces and recorded 15 songs together and sent them to Moscow. Very soon the musicians were noticed, and already at the end of that year the band’s first public performance took place in the capital.

The landowner Lyubov Andreyevna Ranevskaya returns from Paris to her family estate, which is on the brink of ruin. The main value of this estate is a luxurious cherry garden, which for Ranevskaya is a memory of the family, childhood and home.

The plot was headed by representatives of the reactionary group unhappy about the king’s decision to liquidate some noble privileges. This historical event was used by the French playwright Eugene Scribe in his play. Giuseppe Verdi wanted to create a work that is both politi- cally relevant and kindred to the Italian people. The composer suggested Antonio Somma to write a libretto based on Scribe’s play. Cast: Sergey Kuzmin, Alexey Zelenkov, Olga Kolobova Date: July 5 Time: 7:00 pm Venue: The Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre Location: Krasniy prospekt 36, m.

The tragic fate of the temple dancer Nikiya unfolds against the background of Indian exoticism, grandiose dance ensembles and impressive stage effects. Bayaders were temple dancers in India, where the plot of the ballet unfolds. Warrior Solor and the Great Brahmin are fighting for the heart of beautiful Nikiya. Nikiya favors Solor, but her destiny has completely different plans.

Both have succeeded professionally, and they end up reminiscing about their youth in the attic. And mean- while here they are as young revolutionaries, today successful and fulfilled, reminiscing about their youth. 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.

  • Pleistocene Park: the Regeneration of the Mammoth Steppe?
    geocurrents.info http://www.geocurrents.info/place/russia-ukraine-and-caucasus/siberia/pleistocene-park-the-regeneration-of-the-mammoth-steppe Pleistocene Park: The Regeneration of the Mammoth Steppe? By Martin W. Lewis I must admit to having difficulty comprehending winter conditions in central and northern Siberia. From the U.S. perspective, Fairbanks, Alaska seems the epitome of cold, with an average January low temperature of -19 F (-28 C), but Fairbanks is positively balmy compared to Verkhoyansk, Siberia, where the average January high temperature is -44.9 F (-42.7 C). But what really staggers my imagination is the adaptation of mammalian life to such an environment. “How could anything live in such a place?” students often ask when I project the climate table for Verkhoyansk when lecturing on Siberia. Yes, how indeed. Yet a wide array of large mammals thrive in central and northern Siberia, and do so without recourse to hibernation. Not only arctic creatures like reindeer and musk oxen, but even horses survive easily on natural fodder throughout the long and bitter winters. (Such horses, it is true, are of the cold-adapted Yakutian breed.) Bison also prosper in such an environment, and evidently camels can do so as well (Bactrian camels, not dromedaries). And according to Sergei Zimov, Director of Russia’s Northeast Science Station, lions, leopards, and even hyenas could survive and reproduce through most of Siberia, even in the particularly harsh northeast. As he notes, lions have long been kept outdoors all year with no apparent harm in the Novosibirsk zoo, where the average January low temperature is -4 F (-20 C).

Exhibition in tight space The creation of a modern aquarium exhibition in a tight space is a usual situation and a forced measure. Often we do not have enough space, budget and time. • The problem of tight space we have in megalopolises with dense buildings in the center. • The problem of funding is usually topical for small towns. • Tight deadlines are a principle matter for the Customer. Exhibition in tight space In many zoos (not only in Russia), there are old buildings or parts of them which are not used for their initial purpose or require substantial renovation. But on the other side, they have a cadastral passport and engineering networks, which are suitable for them. Exhibition in tight space Novosibirsk Zoo. Reconstruction Moscow Zoo. Reconstruction Not every Zoo or Aquarium have enough space and funding for a large new exhibition. Anyhow, we can create an impressing and nature friendly exhibition using pre-existing buildings. Exhibition in tight space But the challenge is to find space not only for the view aquariums or enclosures but for technical room as well.
