Display of 30 Russian matryoshki and "Why Learn Russian?" posters
The matryoshki were painted by 17 different artists, some professional, some amateur, and all based in Scotland. The project, originally entitled “The Russian Cultural Demonstration”, was created as part of Highland 2007, but has now grown to involve other regions of Scotland. Nine of the artists involved are professional and include the celebrated Scots artist and playwright John Byrne, and also Russian artist Eugenia Vronskaya, who was recently voted the Highland Artist of the Year for 2007 and has exhibited extensively throughout Europe.
The dolls were exhibited at the Scottish Parliament last December, and later at Elgin Museum, Nairn and now Kelvingrove. Alongside the dolls there will also be a collection of other Russian items i.e. musical instruments, Russian Sarafans, assorted Matryoshki, samovar etc.
The posters are entries by Scottish schoolchildren and adults to the 2007 SRF Poster competition.

To be displayed in the community project area, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow

A rare chance to see the Burrell's prized collection of suzanis – richly embroidered wall hangings from Uzbekistan. This exhibition looks at how these exquisite works were created, and considers the lives of the women who made them and the multi-cultural society that they were a product of.
The exhibition also includes carpets from western China and Iran, and textiles from Central Asia and Turkey. These help illustrate the exchange of artistic influences between Uzbekistan and other areas along the Silk Road trade route.

Ищу возможность для российского детского коллектива посмотреть Англию и выступить. Уже полгода занимаюсь этим, никто не ответил. Да и рос тур. фирмы не делают программы из-за сложностей получения виз. Нашла Ваш адрес и даже обрадовалась. В России много турфирм которые делают фестивали, но Англия - пока никто такого предложения не дает.
Коллектив очень сильный (это народные танцы, живая музыка). Это хореографическая государственная школа. В декабре коллектив провел русскую елку в Осло.
Конечно мне хотелось бы удешевить программу (по возможности). Проживание в хостелах. Педагоги могут дать мастер-класс. Было бы удачно встретиться с танцевальной школой. Время пребывания - неделя (или самолетом, или через Европу идем своим автобусом.
Надеюсь, что у вас есть идеи по этому запросу.

Message from Frances Welch:
I hoped you might be able to help with some research. I am writing a book about the evacuation of the Dowager Empress, Grand Duchess Xenia and other members of the Russian nobility from the Crimea in 1919. They travelled on the British naval battleship, HMS Marlborough. I have located papers belonging to officers and sailors on the ship. I have also read, I hope, all the relevant memoirs and biographies. I just wondered if you knew of anybody with any connection to this episode - perhaps descendants of the passengers. There were members of the Youssoupov and Obolensky family on board for instance.
Please contact us if you can help.

The choir sings unaccompanied,and it meets on Thursday evenings at Eastwood Parish Church, Mansewood Rd. Glasgow. New members welcome. More information on www.therussianchoir.org.uk

"More than 15 years we attended training to music of children from 5 till 14 years. Unfortunately, because of the heavy economic situation in which for a long time there was Russia, we on an extent several years on receive any financial support from the federal budget. The support rendered to us from the budget of the Moscow government – is minimum. I want to explain, that we do not collect a tuition fee in our college as, otherwise, the majority of parents can not pay training of children. In view of the set forth above reasons for us all is more difficult to acquaint children with music. We have simply catastrophic situation with a teaching material, in particular with sound materials.
We shall be very grateful, if you can send us any records of music on CDs, DVDs or LPs, even if their boxes are damaged.
YOUR HELP IS NECESSARY FOR US!
