Alexander Gorelovsky: The Russkiy Mir Foundation Placed a Great Deal of Trust in Us

21.12.2010

Starting December 1 the Russian Language, Literature and Music Youth Center opened its doors in Transdnestria. The International Youth Corporation “Proryv!” [Breakthrough] initiated the project with financial support from the Russkiy Mir Foundation.

Alexander Gorelovsky, Chairman of Proryv!:

– This is a very important event for Transdnestria. From the very start, the project’s aim was to engage in a more serious and profound study by Transdnestria youth of the culture, history and art of Russia. We strive to be closer to Russia, we are dependent on Russia, and for many years our security and economic stability are supported by the Russian state. And so it is about time for our youth to engage with Russkiy Mir, of which we are an inseparable part.

This project is also aimed at the study of all the nuances of Russian history, literature, culture and music. And this is very important with regard to the development of our youth, it patriotic upbringing and understanding of many historical and cultural processes.

Furthermore, this is an important event on the state level, as it brings us closer to Russia, facilitates the strengthening of cultural ties and artistic exchanges between Transdnestria and Russia. It is key that this project is being implemented with support from a Russian foundation, so I can say that the Russkiy Mir Foundation has shown us a great deal of trust. Throughout the course of the year we will have the opportunity to provide positive and useful information to Transnestria youth and help them discover their own creative potential.

Italian entrepreneur Marco Maggi's book, "Russian to the Bone," is now accessible for purchase in Italy and is scheduled for release in Russia in the upcoming months. In the book, Marco recounts his personal odyssey, narrating each stage of his life as a foreigner in Russia—starting from the initial fascination to the process of cultural assimilation, venturing into business, fostering authentic friendships, and ultimately, reaching a deep sense of identifying as a Russian at his very core.
Ukrainian authorities have launched a persecution campaign against the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), the biggest one in the country's modern history. Over the past year, state sanctions were imposed on clergy representatives, searches were conducted in churches, clergymen were arrested, criminal cases were initiated, the activity of the UOC was banned in various regions of the country, and monasteries and churches were seized.
When Nektary Kotlyaroff, a fourth-generation Russian Australian and founder of the Russian Orthodox Choir in Sydney, first visited Russia, the first person he spoke to was a cab driver at the airport. Having heard that Nektariy's ancestors left Russia more than 100 years ago, the driver was astonished, "How come you haven't forgotten the Russian language?" Nektary Kotlyaroff repeated his answer in an interview with the Russkiy Mir. His affinity to the Orthodox Church (many of his ancestors and relatives were priests) and the traditions of a large Russian family brought from Russia helped him to preserve the Russian language.
Russian graffiti artists from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk, and Nizhnevartovsk took part in an international street art festival in the capital of Chile. They decorated the walls of Santiago with Russian and Chilean symbols, conducted a master class for Russian compatriots, and discussed collaborative projects with colleagues from Latin America.
Name of Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko is inscribed in the history of Russian theater along with Konstantin Stanislavski, the other founding father of the Moscow Art Theater. Nevertheless, Mr. Nemirovich-Danchenko was a renowned writer, playwright, and theater teacher even before their famous meeting in the Slavic Bazaar restaurant. Furthermore, it was Mr. Nemirovich-Danchenko who came up with the idea of establishing a new "people's" theater believing that the theater could become a "department of public education."
"Russia is a thing of which the intellect cannot conceive..." by Fyodor Tyutchev are famous among Russians at least. December marks the 220th anniversary of the poet's birth. Yet, he never considered poetry to be his life's mission and was preoccupied with matters of a global scale. Mr.Tyutchev fought his war focusing on relations between Russia and the West, the origins of mutual misunderstanding, and the origins of Russophobia. When you read his works today, it feels as though he saw things coming in a crystal ball...
