    Extractions: At the Third International Conference on the Past, Present and Future of Russia in Washington, DC, I asked the audience if they thought a "well-connected Russian" would be likely to be found guilty of embezzlement from a foreign owned firm.[1] None of the conference participants volunteered the opinion that justice would prevail. (The topic of my presentation involved just such a case.)[2] In a February 1998 survey, two thirds of the respondents did not feel they could rely on the Russian courts to protect their rights, and 54 percent did not think the courts had the power to make fair decisions.[3] The "rule of law" is considered essential to an effective democratic system. It is believed that democracy cannot function unless there is a comprehensive and effective set of rules and regulations which are fairly and consistently applied to everyone in society, in principle if not always in practice. In a truly democratic system no one is supposed to stand above the law. This latter point was at the heart of President Clinton's impeachment. In the 1970's, thanks to Watergate, President Nixon discovered he was not immune to legal sanctionsmuch to the disbelief of Leonid Brezhnev and his colleagues who assumed that, like themselves, the U.S. President was not subject to the laws of the land.[4]

    Extractions: WOMEN IN PUSHKIN'S LIFE AND WORK By Olga Bobrova The great Russian writer and Pushkin's contemporary Nikolai Gogol once said about Pushkin: "Poetry was holy to him. It was his shrine... He never took anything rash from his own life to his verse... Yet everything in his poetry adds to his story of himself. But no one can see this. The reader can perceive only the fragrance of his verse..." Pushkin's poems devoted to the women he loved, admired, was friends with or shared his grief and joy with, are all masterpieces of world poetry. Among the great many of his women-inspired poems, some open with the name of the person they are dedicated to, in others the reader has a hard time trying to discern the name between the lines. Who were they, the poet's Muses? This year, the year of the 200th anniversary of Pushkin's birth, we pay a tribute to all these women. "The die is cast. I'm getting married." Those are the first words of a literary sketch Pushkin made shortly after he was accepted by the beautiful Natalia Goncharova. It took him two years to secure the consent of her family. The Goncharovs were in no hurry to give the answer. Nor was it easy for Pushkin, a free artist, not very handsomely provided for, to give up many of his bachelor habits. Just a while before that he would speak of a married life ironically. But the meeting with Natalia Goncharova was a novel experience. "I fell in love. And my head went round," Pushkin wrote to the mother of his fiancee. Pushkin treated Natalia as a deity and in his verse presented her as a Madonna.

    Extractions: INTERNATIONAL POETRY FESTIVAL IN MOSCOW By N. Yakhontova 120 poets from across the world came to Moscow in late October for the 3rd international poetry festival. During 6 days they read their poems in English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Latvian, but most of all in Russian at non-stop literary parties in crowded clubs and concert halls, about 8 parties a day. Russian poetry abroad was one of the main themes of the festival. Poet Bakhyt Kinzheyev, a Kazakh and graduate of Moscow State University Chemistry Department, now a resident of Canada, was awarded the Moscow-Transit Prize for outstanding contribution to Russian poetry. He was handed a check for a considerable sum, and a bronze figurine sculptured by the French poet and artist Boris Legend. Participants noted that no matter where they went, they felt at home. "I emigrated a long time ago, on November 2, 1979", said Dmitry Bobyshev, Russian language and literature professor at Illinois University Slavonic Department. "There were many reasons. I was among "unofficial" authors criticized by the authorities and could see no way out of the deadlock, so I decided to look for happiness elsewhere. There is no happiness, only peace and freedom, as a poet said. That's what I found - a peaceful and fruitful existence that suits me. I come to Russia every year now. A Russian poet, I feel that the entire world with which I am connected by thousands of threads is open to me. It's pleasant to note that more and more students at Illinois University enter the Slavonic Department".

    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 materialise 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. Giving gifts is strong tradition in Russia, and almost every event (birth-days, weddings, holidays, etc.) is accompanied by present. For casual vis-its, it is common (but not required) for guests to bring a simple gift (flow-ers, food, vodka) to their hosts. International visitors are honoured guests and Russians will share whatever they have with them. Favourite gifts from international include food, books, and other scarce items.
