Dear Friends:

It is a great pleasure to welcome everyone to the 2009 Day of Russia in New York.

As an international metropolis, our City thrives on the energy of Russian New Yorkers, who continue to make invaluable contributions to our City’s economic, social, and cultural life throughout the five boroughs. Tonight’s event is wonderful way to celebrate the partnership between Russia and the United States in the arts, education, business and culture. In addition, I am pleased to congratulate tonight’s honorees: Ambassador Vitaly I. Churkin; Mr. Sergey V. Garmonin; and Mr. Gordon Lankton. These exemplary individuals are committed to furthering global exchange and appreciation, and I join with all those gathered here in applauding them as they receive this much deserved recognition.

On behalf of all New Yorkers, I commend everyone involved with this year’s Day of Russia in New York for strengthening this dynamic community through shared tradition and fellowship. Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable evening and continued success.

Budd Mishkin, Master of ceremonies

Budd Mishkin is the host and reporter for NY1’s weekly profile series, “One On 1 with Budd Mishkin,” which profiles influential New Yorkers who have significant personal and professional ties to the city. Among those profiled since the series started in 2003 are musicians Wynton Marsalis, Wyclef Jean and Judy Collins; writers Rob- ert Caro, Gay Talese and Pete Hamill; TV chefs Rachel Ray, Bobby Flay and Anthony Bourdain; broadcaster Mike Wallace; educator Geoffrey Canada; environmental activist Majora Carter; and Donald Trump, Ed Koch, Mario Cuomo. Budd started with the news channel in 1992 and is one of NY1’s original employees. He has served as a sports anchor/reporter for NY1’s nightly program “Sports on 1, The Last Word,” covering some of the biggest events in recent New York sports history: the Rangers Stanley Cup victory, the Yankees World Series run, the 2000 Sub- way Series and the Knicks playoff series against the Chicago Bulls, the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat. As an anchor for the show, Budd has interviewed some of the greats of the New York sports world and beyond: Walt Frazier, Bill Brad- ley, Rod Gilbert, Boris Becker, Jim Palmer and Brooks Robinson, to name a few. Perhaps his most enjoyable in-studio interview was horse owner and actor Jack Klugman, the beloved Oscar Madison of “Odd Couple” fame. Since NY1’s inception, Budd has contributed feature stories outside the world of sports on subjects ranging from the one-year commem- oration of September 11th to profiles of Steve Van Zandt and Clar- ence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band. His anchoring work was cited in an Emmy awarded to NY1 in 1999 for a half-hour special on the death of Joe Dimaggio. Away from NY1, Budd has turned a hobby into a slowly developing second career: Russian folk singer. And the one line he’s used to start all of these shows? “I know what you are thinking,” he says. “Just another TV sports guy who sings Russian folk songs.”

Described as “the pianist with the magic touch” by the Washington Post and as “one the most intriguing pianists of her generation” by the Miami Sun Post, Elena Baksht captivates her audiences from the moment she appears on the stage with a combination of profound lyricism, dazzling technique, and charismatic presence. Ms. Baksht first came to public attention at the age of 11, when she performed Bach’s D-minor piano concerto with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra at the Central Hall Of The Arts in Moscow.

In an attempt to bring two of her life’s passions together, Ms. Baksht has created, organized, and presented interactive arts programs incorporating poetry and music in a new public performance genre. Ms. Baksht is currently working on a filmed series based on these programs, entitled: “Tales of Russia through the Eyes of Poetry and Music.” After coming to the United States, Ms. Baksht was awarded a full-scholarship at the Manhattan School of Music to study at the studio of Nina Svetlanova.
