The Travel Issue Wish You Were Here Contents the TRAVEL ISSUE 4 Calendar and Editor’S Choice What’S Doing in Moscow in November NOVEMBER 2008 www.passportmagazine.ru The Travel Issue Wish You Were Here Contents THE TRAVEL ISSUE 4 Calendar and Editor’s Choice What’s doing in Moscow in November 8 November in Russian History 16 10 Film of the FSU 12 Books, Music, Shopping 14 Art History Leonid Berlin 24 16 On Track: The Railway Section Museum of the History of Railway Technology Anton Lange’s Photos from a Train Window The Trans-Siberian Express Russia’s Time Zones 24 Goa by Motorcycle 28 28 Scuba Diving in Palau 30 Viva Las Vegas! 34 Down Mexico Way 38 Business 30 Sky Express: Russia’s First Budget Airline 42 Wine & Dine Restaurant Review: Casta Diva Hospitality News Wine & Dine Listing 50 Columns 34 54 Out & About 56 The Last Word Passport Poll 38 Letter from the Publisher It’s November in Moscow, and we all know that can mean only one thing. No, not newly bare trees and rainy weather that leaves mud spattered all over the cuff s of your trousers, not signifi cantly shorter days and a chill in the air. OK, so November in Moscow can mean a number of things. One of them is Passport’s Travel Issue! Yes, Passport’s November issue is all about travel, from motorcycling in Goa (page 24) to scuba diving in Palau (page 28) to strolling down the Las Vegas Strip (page 30). Russian TV personality Eva Lanska will help you get packed (page 13), and Neil McGowan will help you reset your watch (Russian time zones, page 23). In “On Track,” a special section devoted to rail travel, take the Trans-Siberian Railway clear across Russia (page 20). Of course, those more pressed for time can settle for a visit to Moscow’s Museum of the History of Railway Technology (page 16). Read about what to download onto your iPod before you hit the road (page 12), dinner in Italy (via a new Moscow restaurant, review on page 42), and the culture of the marshrutka (page 52). For the armchair traveler, we recommend a celluloid itinerary: fi lms of the Former Soviet Union (page 10). Art lovers can read about sculptor Leonid Berlin (page 14). John Ortega Plus our regular columns, Th is Month in History, and the Passport Poll. So fasten your seatbelts, return your seat to its upright position, and turn off any electronic Owner and Publisher devices (except, of course, if you are reading this online). It’s Passport’s Travel Issue! Passport mourns the recent passing of longtime friend and supporter David Self. David came to Russia in 1996 to jointly manage Hanscomb, which he helped to grow into a very success- ful company before leaving to form Savant with several partners in 2003. Along with his col- leagues, David spearheaded the construction consultancy’s activities in Russia, overseeing its tremendous growth and leading Savant to become one of the largest service providers in Rus- sia. David was well known for his kindness, humor, wise counsel, and friendship both inside and outside the office. He will be sadly missed by his wife and three children as well as by his friends and colleagues in Moscow’s business community. Passport is hiring a full-time designer. Candidates should be creative, hard-working team-players. Knowledge of Quark or InDesign essential, English language not required.

I analyze different visual and narrative strategies developed by the directors of youth cinema during the Brezhnev period as mechanisms for circumventing ideological control over cultural production.

  • ARTIGOS • LIVRE Imagens De Muçulmanos E Budistas Nos Filmes
    ARTIGOS • LIVRE Imagens de Muçulmanos e budistas nos filmes soviéticos sobre a Segunda Guerra (1950 -89) Moisés Wagner Franciscon * Dennison de Oliveira † Resumo A URSS, apesar de oficialmente ateia e possuir a maioria de sua população sem uma crença religiosa, possuía importantes minorias adeptas de algum credo. Ancorados em sua diversidade demográfica, muçulmanos e budistas representavam uma importante fatia dessa minoria. Ao contrário dos ortodoxos eslavos, esses grupos não eram considerados confiáveis pelo regime duplamente: como não eslavos e integrantes de cultos vistos como perigosamente reacionárias e explosivos. O cinema bélico costuma ser importante vetor de ideias nacionalistas ou pró- regime. No caso soviético, esse gênero cinematográfico portava as impressões oficiais sobre ambos os credos – apesar das ambiguidades de alguns diretores. A sócio-história cinematográfica de Marc Ferro permite uma melhor compreensão das relações do poder político e diplomático dos diferentes grupos da sociedade e do filme de guerra na União Soviética. Sua concepção de cinema como produto social com mensagens latentes e lapsos conscientes ou inconscientes mostram um quadro mais complexo do que o de uma estrutura de poder piramidal que suprimiria sentimentos religiosos na sociedade. Os filmes de guerra selecionados (14 filmes produzidos entre 1950-89) são ambientados na Segunda Guerra e possuem como protagonistas ou coadjuvantes personagens caracterizados como membros das populações de tradição muçulmana ou budista dentro das fronteiras soviéticas, ou filmes produzidos por diretores e estúdios localizados nas repúblicas associadas com estas religiões. Palavras -chave: História social do cinema, filme de guerra, religião, União Soviética. Abstrac t The USSR, although officially atheist and possessing the majority of its population without a religious belief, possessed important minorities adhering to some creed.
