America and Russia Similarities Both countries are multi-ethnic, continental, great powers, expansionist, tamed a wilderness, and settled by a variety of diverse groups. Both regard themselves as chosen nations with a messianic mission, destined to bring their own versions of enlightenment to less fortunate people, They are both Nuclear powers. The countries both think BIG, are energetic and inventive. The people appreciate casual, direct, and an often blunt way of speaking, and both show heartfelt hospitality to visitors from abroad.

    Extractions: T he first few years of Soviet rule were marked by an extraordinary outburst of social and cultural change. Although the Bolsheviks had maintained complete control of the economy during the civil war, Lenin decided at its end that a partial return to a market economy would help the country recover from the destruction of the previous three years. His New Economic Policy, or NEP, brought about a period of relative prosperity, allowing the young Soviet government to consolidate its political position and rebuild the country's infrastructure. This was also the period during which the Russian Avant-Garde reached its height, developing the radical new styles of Constructivism, Futurism, and Suprematism . Although the country still faced enormous challenges, there was a widespread sense of optimism and opportunity. As was the case with the Napoleonic Wars, the Soviet Union emerged from World War II considerably stronger than it had been before the war. Although the country suffered enormous devastation and lost more than twenty million lives, it had gained considerable territory and now ranked as one of the two great world powers along with the United States. Nonetheless, life in the country continued to suffer. Industrial production was once again concentrated on heavy industry, agricultural failures produced widespread famine, political freedoms were restricted even further, and another huge wave of purges was carried out. As the Cold War got underway, an increasing proportion of the Soviet Union's resources were funneled into military projects, further exacerbating the quality of life. Stalin remained in power until 1953, when he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

    Extractions: 3 DAYS / 2 NIGHTS St. Petersburg was founded at the estuary of the small Zayachy Island on May 27,1703. Russian Tzar Peter the Great personally supervised the construction and named the city after his patron saint. In 1712-1713 the Tzar's Court and government offices moved there from Moscow and made St. Petersburg the capital of the Russian Empire. In 1918 the capital was moved back to Moscow. Today St. Petersburg is a city of major industrial enterprises, scientific centers, higher educational establishments, theater and world-renowned museums. It is recognized as one of the most beautiful cities of the world. 4 DAYS/3 NIGHTS Medieval Moscow is a fairy poem in stone. Its every chapter is an event in history of domestic architecture. Many pages are lost but even those that appear to our sight today enchant by shrill beauty, remind about old, forever ceased life. There is hardly one person in the world who never heard of Moscow. This great city, the capital of independent Russia, over 850 years of its existence grew from the small town on the calm Moskva river into the giant city. As nowhere else, the Moscow museums are remarkable for their variety of styles and epochs they represent, and at the same time they are embodiment of Russian character and Russian history.

    Extractions: Theatre and the Arts are well catered for, extremely accessible and provide a popular leisure activity. Until recently the Arts were heavily funded by the State. However, cost cutting measures have forced a radical reduction in state funding, and private sponsoring has started to materialize in the larger, better known theatres, such as the Bolshoi (in Moscow).Russians also spend a considerable amount of their leisure time at the homes of friends and relatives. In the past, this was mainly due to the lack of good restaurants and bars, although at present economic constraints are the main reason for keeping people at home. More or less this is changing and youth spend lots of time in the bars - drinking beer, dancing and playing pool.

Etching by Nikolai Utkin from an original by Franz Kriiger. 1836 I n the changed conditions of Russian life, the user now became the most important figure in the library. It was therefore expected, as the memorandum "on the meaning of the title Librarian1'1 prepared by Bychkov explained, that the librarian would serve the reader with "useful advice and instructions" and not be a passive curator and registrar of the stocks. He was supposed to be up to date on current scholarship, competent in bibliography and aware of the state of the book market. Afanasy Bychkov, who became director in 1882, following Korff's immediate successor Ivan Delianov, invested much energy in solving the most urgent problems — increasing the funding and the staff, and also the construction of a new extension. His policies were continued by Nikolai Schilder (director, 1899-1902) and Dmitry Kobeko (1902-18). The library maintained lively scholarly links with practically all Russian universities, institutes, learned societies, archive commissions and museums, receiving books from the world's centres of learning and major book repositories. The growth of its prestige was also assisted by a tradition which went back to its very beginning: the majority of the staff were "men of learning". This was true not only under Olenin and Korff, but also in the decades that followed.

    Extractions: Carlo Rossi's design for the new building of the Imperial Public Library. Produced in collaboration with Alexander Shchedrin, who also supervised the construction. The exterior was decorated with works by sculptors including Stepan Pimenov, Vasily Demuth-Malinovsky and Samuel Thalberg. T he war with Nazi Germany which began on 22 June 1941 and the 900-day siege of Leningrad that followed will remain forever the greatest sorrow in the history of the National Library of Russia. In the first months of the war more than 50 members of the staff joined the fighting forces; 138 died in the terrible winter of 1941-42; the number of workers fell to about 200, a quarter of the peacetime figure. They were left to carry out an immense amount of work under incredibly difficult circumstances. But, for all that, throughout the entire war, including the period of the siege, the library never ceased to serve its readers. As during the war against Napoleon in 1812, the most valuable parts of the collection — manuscripts, incunabula, other early printed books, Russian books from the sixteenth century and the "Golden Age" (the first quarter of the nineteenth century), the Rossica stocks, Voltaire's library, the Plekhanov House archives and more — were packed for evacuation in an exceptionally short time and taken away to the town of Melekess in Ulyanovsk region. The large group of staff members who accompanied the books managed to preserve these priceless treasures intact in totally unsuitable conditions and in October 1945 these works were returned to Leningrad.
