Russia: Britain Snubs Tradition in Moscow!


Hello,

Well seems Britain is striking a hard blow to Russia and the South Ossetian incident…

The British Foreign Office has decided not to send 40 bagpipers to a military music festival in Moscow in protest over Russia’s actions in Georgia, a foreign office spokesperson said.

The festival to mark the 325th anniversary of the Russian Imperial Guards is scheduled to take place on September 11-14 in central Moscow.

Military bands from the U.K., Austria, Ireland, Scotland, and Canada have been invited to the event. The Scottish bagpipers were due to leave for Russia on September 8.

A spokesperson for the Foreign Office said on Friday however that the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers would not be able to attend the Kremlin Zorya festival due to the crisis in relations between Russia and the West over the recent war in Georgia.

The bagpipers have been one of the most popular acts at the festival in recent years.

OK, is it just me or is this a sign of the mental and maturity level of the West?

What does the issues in South Ossetia and Georgia have to do with a 325 year old Military event?

I guess: the only reason that I can see why British would not go to the Festival is…..?

There is no reason……

Russia: The Danilov Bells are Almost Home!

Hello,

This morning while drinking my morning cup of coffee, I was thinking about the Danilov bells that I wrote about a few months ago. I figured it was time for them to show up in Russia….. (Link)

On September 7, 2008, the Danilov bells will finally return to Russia after a 78-year stay in Harvard University. On that date the ship bearing them will dock in St. Petersburg and, by the 12th of September, the ceremonial procession will reach their home – the Danilov Monastery in Moscow. In the beginning of the series dedicated to this landmark event for the Russian Orthodox Church, RT looks at the significance of the Danilov bells, their compelling sound and their rich history.

The bells were highly valued even before their removal in the early 20th century. Konstantin Saradjev, a musical genius who could distinguish all of Moscow’s 4000 bells simply by listening to their ring, wrote of the Danilov bells in the early 1900s: “They have an extraordinary musical value. It is an ingenious set of bells, which finds a significant place not only in church music, but also in the science of sound”. Today, the Danilov bells are one of the few remaining heavy musical peals in the world.

The Bells

The Danilov bells come in a spectacular set of 18, all of of different shapes, sizes, metal compositions and pitch. Since most of them were cast at the Finlyandsky factory in Moscow between 1890 and 1907, they are all tuned to perfect harmony. Some bells in the set, however, date as far back as 1682. Such, for example, is the ‘Pervyi’ (or ‘first’) bell, which was Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich’s present to the Danilov Monastery in 1683. Each Danilov bell is ornate with depictions of Russian Orthodox objects of worship, such as portraits of saints and inscriptions in Slavic.

The main bell of the set is the ‘Bolshoy’ (literally meaning ‘Big’ in Russian). The name is a telling one, since this musical heavyweight is over 12 tonnes. To hang it, the Danilov Monastery’s old bell tower had to be replaced with a new one in 1904. The alloy used for the Bolshoy’s creation contains a significant part of copper, which means that the sound of the bell combines distinctively bright overtones with rich deep notes. This is a very rare combination for bells of such size. The other two major bells in the set, the ‘Polieleynyi’ (‘celebratory’) and the ‘Budnichnyi’ (‘everyday’), weigh 6 and 25 tonnes respectively. The Danilov peal also includes a set of ten bells, weighing between 30 and 500 kg, which are used to accompany choral singing, and four light bells, the sound of which perfectly completes the sound of the Bolshoy.

The History

However, the Danilov bells are not only famous for their harmonious sound and artistic merit. Their story is one of dramatic uprooting, cultural exchange and eventual homecoming. By 1930, the Soviet government had firmly decided that “the sound of bells in Russia should be replaced with the sound of factory whistles.” Thus, the compelling and mysterious ring of the Danilov bells was to be reduced to scrap metal. It was due to sheer luck that Charles Crane, a Chicago industrialist, heard them while travelling around Russia in 1930. He was so taken by their music that he decided to save them from assured destruction. This proved to be easy: he bought them for the price of scrap bronze and, in a gesture of goodwill, donated them to Harvard University.

The bells were not immediately a popular feature on the university campus. Harvard students, claiming that the bells distracted them from sleep and study, called for their immediate removal and invented refined forms of protest. They banged pots and pans, heaved alarm clocks out of their windows and even flushed all of the toilets in the building simultaneously. The president of Harvard at the time was only interested in the bells if they could play “Fair Harvard”, the university’s anthem. Unfortunately, he didn’t realise that the Russian style of bell ringing differed from the Western one in so far as the bells were not designed to play melodies; they were made to create complicated rhythmic patterns. So, on April 5, 1931 the Danilov bells were welcomed in the U.S. with headlines such as “Tons of Chimes at Harvard and Not a Note of Music”.

Eventually, the bells worked their way into the hearts, minds and ears of Harvard University staff and students. When talk of returning the bells back to Russia first started during the 1980s, the university responded with stiff rejection. A consensus was only reached a quarter of a century later, when the Russian side offered to replace the Danilov bells with exact replicas, matching the original ones not only in shape, but also in sound. So, the bells will now return to their spiritual home in the Danilov Monastery in Moscow, forever leaving a mark on the U.S. soundscape. (Link)

Welcome home Danilov bells and I am glad you have arrived safe!

Update: The Bells are in St. Pete! See Pictures at link below….

Russia: They Have X-Files FBI agents, Mulder and Scully Locked Up In Russia!

Hello,

Mulder and Scully from the X-Files have been thrown in cages in Russia. What are Mulder and Scully doing caged up in the Russian city of Ekaterinburg?

Ekaterinburg a town on the eastern slopes of the Urals mountains on the banks of the beautiful Iset river has a Zoo and it seems that employees of the city zoo have named a pair of skunks after the famous TV – FBI agents, the stars of the X-Files series.

Mulder and Scully are two striped skunks that were brought to the Ekaterinburg zoo from Moscow. They are currently in quarantine to ensure good health and will be on public view in mid-September. The normally pungent scented pair will now leave the air fresh since their scent glands, which release a distinctly revolting odor when skunks feel threatened, have been removed.

“The skunks are called Mulder and Scully. It was the employees who gave them their names, despite the fact that there’s nothing mysterious about them.” said a zoo representative in an interview.

This is the first time that the Ekaterinburg zoo has acquired skunks. (Link)

What good names for skunks! Gotta love it.

Russia: U.S. warship leaves Sevastopol after protests!

SEVASTOPOL, September 2 (RIA Novosti) – The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Dallas left Sevastopol Tuesday morning after anti-NATO protests in Ukraine’s Crimean port.

The Dallas, which recently delivered humanitarian aid to Georgia’s Black Sea port of Batumi, docked on Monday at the Crimean port, where Russia has a naval base, at the invitation of Kiev.

The ship’s arrival was met by thousands of anti-NATO protesters chanting “Yankees go home!” and waving banners with the slogan “NATO Stop!” Police cordoned off the area around the ship.

Ukrainian customs officers who boarded the ship and met the commander said they had been prepared to lay on buses for the U.S. crew to give them a tour of the city, but apart from a few officers, no one left the vessel. (Link)

Glad to see that the USA Navy found out how the people in Crimea feel about them. The fact that they went to the port in a high tension area showed lack of intelligence or wanting to stir up trouble.

They found trouble and They left…..

PS: Russia has repeatedly complained that NATO has too many ships in the Black Sea. Foreign Ministry official Andrei Nesterenko said Tuesday that currently there are two U.S., one Polish, one Spanish and one German ship there. Russian officials say the United States could have delivered weapons to Georgia under the guise of humanitarian aid.”We don’t understand what American ships are doing on the Georgian shores, but this is a question of taste, it’s a decision by our American colleagues,” Putin said. “The second question is why the humanitarian aid is being delivered on naval vessels armed with the newest rocket systems.” (hummm)
