RuSSIA’S PEOPlE OF THE YEAR

Vladimir Putin, An-drei Arshavin and

Alexander Solzhenitsyn became the People of the Year for most Rus-sians in 2008, whereas the financial crisis was the central event for the Russian population, a recent opinion poll conducted by the Pub-lic Opinion Research Fund said.

About 40 percent of the polled named Prime Minister Vladimir Putin when answering the question “Whom of the Russian politicians and public figures would you name the Person of the Year 2008?”, Interfax reports. All other politicians lag

far behind Putin’s name. The top five also included President Medvedev (12%), Patriarch Alexy II (4%), parliament leaders Vladimir zhirinovsky (2%) and Gennady zyuganov (2%).

Late writer and Nobel Prize winner

Alexander Solzhenitsyn was named the Person of the Year among science, culture and art figures. The famous writer received 4 percent of votes. Footballer Andrei Arshavin was named the Athlete of the Year with eight percent of votes.

Many of the polled Russians (15%) said that the financial crisis became the most important event of the outgoing year 2008. The list continues with the election of the Russian president (8%), the election of the US president (7%), the war in South Ossetia (7%), the Beijing Olympics

(6%) and the death of the Russian Patriarch Alexy II (5%). Every other respondent (49%) was undecided about the year’s main event.

Many newspapers and magazines sum up the results of the year 2008. Time magazine, for example, named

Barack Obama its Person of the Year. Last year, the title was awarded to Vladimir Putin.

Google made the chart of most popular searches in 2008. As it turns out, web surfers were most interested in the personas of Sarah Palin and John McCain.

Science magazine published the top ten list of the most important scientific achievements in 2008. The reprogramming of adult human cells took the first place of the list – scientists learned to turn them into stem cells that will make it possible to cure serious diseases in the future.

GRAND PLANS OF THE PERM KRAI GOVERNMENT

Perm krai has a historic opportunity to outrun other regions, believes Valery Sukhikh, Prime-Minister of Perm krai. The idea was clearly pronounced during presentation of the project “Programs of social and economic development of Perm krai in 2009-2012 and up to 2017” before the deputies of the regional Legislative Assembly. In order to achieve and fulfill the program’s objectives, government executive authorities should be divided into five functional blocs headed by five vice-premiers.

The first bloc should bу devoted to human potential development. It unites all the socially-oriented ministries and agencies responsible for education, public health service, social services and security. Their key objective is to stimulate the increase of Perm krai population through rise in births, mortality reduction and attraction of quality migration flows.

The second bloc is dedicated to infrastructure development. It is made up of governmental authorities that supervise residential repair and development, road construction and utilities maintenance. Their major goal is to decrease accommodation expenses of Perm krai citizens.

Third bloc is economic development. The overall result of three ministries activity (Industry, Commerce and Agriculture) should be evaluated in accordance with the percentage index of labor compensation fund growth.

The fourth bloc deals with budgetary institutions development. The bloc’s activity is concentrated on creating an effective network of such institutions provided regional budget expenses on its maintenance shall be decreased.

Finally the fifth bloc is municipal units’ development. It strives to strengthen and increase self-sufficiency and independence of Perm krai.

“Financially Perm krai already exceeds some of its neighbors. Now we have to set out the priorities of development, cut down some expenses, attract maximum federal funds. Perhaps it will give us an opportunity to gain the lead; it might be our historic chance”, says the Prime-Minister.

25 thousand maternity certificates were issued since January 2008 within the framework of the national proj-ect “Public Health”. Since them over 30 thousand children were born. This year maternity welfare centers received over 225 million rubles (about €6 million) from the fed-eral budget in return for provided medical services.

Funds issued from maternity certificates help to improve material and technical basis of the maternity obstetric service and purchase modern medical equip-ment. Besides, introduction of maternity certificates al-lowed increasing average wages of maternity centers’ employees.

Thus in 2008 about 125 million rubles (€3.3 million) extracted from maternity certificates circulation were spent on acquisition of new equipment; another 100 million rubles (€2.64 million) went on fringe benefits for maternity centers’ workers.

Since the national project launched in Perm krai in 2006 nearly 80 thousand maternity certificates were spread to the amount of 635 million rubles (€16.8 mil-lion).

«Uralkaliy» carried oUt reacH-registration for prodUction sUpplies to tHe eUropean Union

JSC “Uralkaliy” has successfully passed

preliminary registra-tion of potassium chloride within the limits of the European order REACH for ex-port to the Euro union countries.

Let us remind that since July 1st 2007 the new order has taken effect; it covers all the chemical substances, produced and imported or used at the territory of the European Union. It was named REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals). At the registration stage

substance is exposed to a deep research, which results are used to create a report about the substance chemical safety for human health and environment. Thus, REACH lowers risks to human health and environment from utilization of the chemicals, as said in the “Uralkaliy” note.

According to the new order import and utilization of any chemicals at the territory of the European Union are permitted only after registration in the European Chemical Agency (ECA). In correspondence with the REACH

regulations all the enterprises, exporting to the European Union countries its products in volumes of more than 1 ton per year, have to pass the registration. The first step of the procedure is preliminary registration (pre-registration), within which information about the supplied to the EU market chemicals should be provided to ECA, is supposed to be finished by December 1st 2008. Chemicals, not passed the pre-registration, are to be prohibited from December 1st 2008.

The “Uralkaliy”

company has passed the pre-registration of potassium chloride in time and on October 31st 2008 obtained unique pre-registration number, which allows continuing the product shipping to the EU market. For successful realization of the product “Uralkaliy” is intended to follow all the European rules and orders. That is why the company carried out preparation of its product documentation thoroughly.

The second stage of the procedure is the registration itself, which is to be done until December 1st, 2010.

GERMAN DIPLOMATS TENDTO INTENSIFY THE CULTURALCOOPERATION WITH PERM

The new consul general in Yekaterinburg may visit Perm already in March 2009.

Renate Schimkoreit, the new FRG consul general in Yekaterinburg was appointed to Ural in the august, replacing Tilo Klinner at this position. Before the appointment to Russia she headed a department in the Foreign Ministry of Germany. Within the limits of visits through the consular district, which includes the Perm region as well, Schimkoreit has already visited Cheliabinsk and Ufa.

Meanwhile Germans examine Prikamye from other viewpoints also. It turned out that right after scheduled replacement of the head of the German legation in Yekaterinburg, the whole Attachй office had been changed. Thus Steffen Laas started working under authority of Renate Schimkoreit in September and wills to stay at new post at least until 2010 (before he had the same job in the German embassy in Kirgizia).

Last Friday Steffen Laas visited closing ceremony of Perm festival “Jazz-fever”, which the German consulate general was one of the sponsors of. According to Laas, he offered the German sponsorship to the fest organizers himself, because it emerged that the German cultural attachй is fond of jazz. He was the festival steering committee vice-chairman and even one of the founders of festival “Jazz Bishkek Spring” in Kirgizia. The future plans of cultural cooperation include also series of “round tables”, devoted to 60th anniversary of he German Constitution and 20th anniversary of the Germany unification, exhibitions, concerts, which mostly are to be held in Yekaterinburg, but as well the Germans “wanted to bring something” to Perm. Also, being in Perm, the German attachй opened the evening of German child and youth films “Young heroes” and an exhibition, devoted to history of Russian Germans. A banner exposition from “summit” of Germans of Prikamye, which took place in Krasnokamsk in the October, moved to cinema salon “Premiere”. But the Perm bureau of the Goethe-institute complained about the film program to the regional human rights plenipotentiary. The institute promised to present the incident details at a press conference in the nearest time.

Daily 80 tons of garbage is sorted with new garbage sorting complex, recently put in operational testing at Domestic Solid Garbage dump of Krasnokamskiy district. Special manipulator feeds garbage to the conveyor, where workers sort it by fractions manually. The complex allows to single out 18 kinds of recyclable materials: waste paper, polyethylene bottles, aluminum and tin cans, broken household appliances, glass, polypropylene, polyethylene and others. The garbage is pressed and sent to processing plants in Moscow, Kirov, Kazan, Syktyvkar, Perm, where its used as secondary raw materials.

Garbage treatment allows to increase operation life of the DSG dump, because now only the garbage, left after sorting and transportation to the processing plants, is need to be buried.

A new DSG dump, constructed by means of the regional and district budgets, is rented to the LLC “Bumatica” under condition that it’s going to build a garbage sorting complex here. As a result the enterprise invested 33 million rubles into the project, what gave another 30 work places.

Initially the dump was considered as intermunicipal one, thus it’s designed to obtain garbage not only from the district settlements, but also the neighboring territories, for example Kirovskiy district of Perm city. The designed output of the garbage sorting plant is 30 thousand tons of domestic and industrial waste per year. This is the first such complex in Perm, which experience is now familiarized with by the other Prikamye districts.

PERM MOTOR PLANT SHIPPED TO THE “GASPROM”

“DAUGHTER” FOUR GAS-TURBIN UNITS

The JSC “Perm motor plant” (included to the Perm motor industry complex) has completed its contract for construction and shipment of GTU-16P units. What was announced by the press-cutting-service of the PMC.

Four units are to be used within gas-transfer units GPA-16DKS “Ural”, manufactured by JSC “Iskra-Turbogas”. The equipment is intended for JSC “Severneftegasprom”, a daughter company of JSC “Gasprom”, and will be erected at gas booster station of the Yuzhno-Russkoe deposit (Krasnoselskiy district of Yamalo-Nenetskiy autonomous national area). It is planned to come out at the designed output (25 billion cubic meters per year) by 2009. Gas from this deposit should load the first pipe run of the Northern-European gas-main, a completely new gas route to Europe.

By November 1st, 2008 the Perm motor plant has produced 170 GTU-16P units. The geography of the GTU-16P shipment covers whole Russia from western borders of West Siberia, and also includes Turkey and Belorussia.

A PlACE FOR A NuClEAR POWERSTATIONAT THE PERM REgION EXPANSES

A procedure of opening of the

envelopes with ap-plications for the tender, announced by the regional department of town-planning and infrastructure devel-opment, for carrying out engineering sur-vey and ecological research as a part of the exploratory design for the Perm NPS construction has recently taken place.

There was just one application received for the tender, it was from the LLC “VNIIAES – Project office” (Moscow).

The Moscow company set a price of 35.4 million rubles for its service. This amount was stated in the initial conditions of the tender as the maximum. The period of execution of the works, offered by the company is five months since

the date of entering into the contract.

During the next few days the tender committee has to decide if the application of LLC “VNIIAES – Project office” corresponds all the requirements of the tender documentation. In case if all the formalities are correct, the contract could singed by December of this year.

PERM WIll gRINd METAlA production of zir-

conium grain will be put in operation. The LLC “Ural plant of tools and materi-als” (UPTM) intends to provide at least a half of the regional rollers demand in stock for metal grinding.

zirconium alumina abrasive grain is used by steel-rolling and pipe plants for processing (grinding) of sheet metal. The designed annual output of the UPTM first stage should be approximately 1.3 thousand tons. The industrial scale production is supposed to be reached by the spring 2009. The enterprise will be constructed at the land of the former machine building plant “zumus” in Severniy settlement, which is situated in Gubakhinskiy district of the Perm region. That’s the reason why the investments

volume is not quite large, and its most part is considered for the equipment purchase.

The regional government says that currently in Russia volume of produced zirconium grain is no more than 8% of a required amount. The rest is imported from China, Germany and France. The UPTM is planning to provide

its product first of all for the Perm region market: its demand is about 2.5-3 thousand tons per year. The Sweden companies are also interested in the product.

At the present time the plant owners discuss an issue of construction of the second stage with the same output. The first deputy of the

“UPTM” managing company director general explains: “Everything depends on our ability to meet the competition with European manufacturers at the home market and attract investments into new facilities production”.

zirconium alumina abrasive grain is an artificial abrasive material, mainly contained of crystallized alumina (aluminum oxide). It is produced by melt of the feedstock in arc furnace. The material is widely used in manufacturing of refractory materials and for metal grinding. zirconium alumina abrasive grain, powders and flour grains, bound in synthetic bundle, are the basis for abrasive tools (grinding wheels, abrasive bricks, sandpaper and powders).

PERM lOgISTICS IS EAgER TO EXPANd INVESTMENT AREA

The first phase of storage terminal

Gigant has been intro-duced to the public. The object’s square reaches 4 thousand square meters with es-timated capacity of 30 thousand pallet rack spots.

According to logis-tics center director Dimity Vedernikov, total volume of invest-ments accounted to €5.3 million.

“Provided things turn out favorably, in the

spring we are planning to expand this logis-tic center and build the second phase of 6.5 thousand square meters”, says mister Vedernikov. “I con-cede that the second phase will run out at the same cost because cement, metal and contractors’ services become cheaper in the conditions of financial crisis”.

According to Ved-ernikov’s data, 70% of investments in the first phase of Gigant

were made in a form of bank loans. “We’ve already held nego-tiations with several banks, they are satis-fied by the results of our co-operation, and thus we shouldn’t ex-perience any problems with the financing of the next project”, be-lieves Vedernikov. He emphasizes that the company already has arrangements with a number of customers, so rack spots shouldn’t stay vacant for a long time. Project’s invest-

ments are expected to be reimbursed in the course of three years. Simultaneously the company is planning to build storage termi-nals in other cities of Russia.

“We’ve conducted market research in Yekaterinburg, Sa-mara and Saratov, met potential customers and reached several agreements”, says Ved-ernikov. “Once we are done with this project we’ll concentrate on other regions”.

rubles per sq. m. per month (+1%).

As considered by analysts, the market decline has occurred due to increase of demand and erection

of large area objects. Also the market ran out of objects, located in neighboring to the city center districts, what significantly effected the decrease of the city

average sale price as a whole. Still the situation at the rent market of storage facilities stayed pretty stable, according to the Perm Analytics Centre.

The catering volumes in the region within that period made up to 16 billion f447,4 million rubles, what is in the same prices by 30.1% more than in the last year.

PERM INVESTMENT POTENTIALFor the last 20 years Perm moved from a city

closed to foreigners to a modern regional centre with a diversified economy. At present the economic and employment structure of the city has been adapted to these new circumstances and a market economy. There are several proofs of that.

34% of economically active population (approximately 170,000 people) having previous experi-ence working in large and medium-sized enterprises are now self-employed.

The ratio between employees of large enterprises in the spheres of production and services has changed during the last 20 years. Today in services sector there are more people employed than in production sphere. The city’s unemployment level is quite low and it has shown a tendency for de-cline.

The city has a huge potential and all development opportunities.

Several positive factors exist: – high and unsatisfied domestic demand; – economic, financial, budgetary and social

stability; – availability of all primary resources; – availability of the basic elements of

transport infrastructure; – availability of such a transport artery as the

river. There exists a potential of undeveloped and

inefficiently used zones and, the last but not the least – an attractive urban landscape.

Due to highly unsatisfied and diversified credit-worthy consumer demand Perm is among top five most attractive cities for investors. In this sphere construction volume will reach 1,520,000 sq.m. by 2020 (950,000 sq.m. up to 2011). The number of new workplaces will reach 28,000 and investment volume will make up 55 billion rubles.

There have been defined 3 directions in territorial development:

– development of built-up zones; – re-profiling, reorganisation of production

zones; – integrated zonal development. 24 points of growth were identified to develop

built-up zones with the real estate potential equal to over 6 million sq. m.

Scheme of production and communal/storage zones location was defined.

There were also identified 5 sites (total area – 13 million sq. m.) for realization of complex con-struction projects.

The mission of the city consists in providing attractive conditions and a comfortable environ-ment for current and future generations through sustainable economic growth and efficient territorial development.

Karbokam plant produces 17 technical grades of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and polyanionic cellulose (PAC), under trade mark Kamcel, to be employed for function in a number of ways.

Lamberti S.p.A. R&D Center (Italy) together with the group of scientists of I.M. Gubkin State Univer-sity of Oil and Gas (Russia) developed the prin-ciples of the process. Their common efforts resulted in creating for the first time ever in the national chemical industry a method in organic solvent in a single apparatus. This heterogeneous process is based on reaction of monochloracetic acid (its alcohol solution) with alkali cellulose. Advanced technology solutions combined with state-of-the-art hard-ware facilities allow attaining technical CMC of uniform quality having minimum of by-products, not yielding to similar products of the leading manufacturers by its properties. At its start-up in 1996, our plant was the most up-to-date enterprise of the kind in Europe.

Over 100 kilometers along the both

banks of the Kama river, the greatest left feeder of Volga, is taken by the Perm city. Thus that kind of a city can’t survive without bridges, crossing not just small brooks and streams, but also binding both river banks.

The very first bridge, built in Perm, was, no doubt, the one across Yegoshikha river. Today no one could probably tell exactly where it was and how it looked like. The dam of Motovilikhinskiy plant was constructed in 1723 and became the main transport link between Motovilikha and young Perm. Only in the beginning of XIX century the traffic through the dam was closed due to its dilapidation and a new bridge was constructed. After another 100 years, to be more precise in 1926, the wooden bridge was replaced with metallic one, which was more durable and thus provided safe path for trams, buses and cars, not numerous at that time. This bridge is still functioning but only for pedestrians, but the boy racers could look at it, being stuck in traffic jam at the Northern dam.

Not all the old-times constructions have vanished through the centuries. For instance, two small bridges, built in 1804-1805 at behest of the governor Karl Moderakh, survived to this day. Well, one still can not see them, because they are buried

in the ground. These bridges were discovered by archeologists, carried out researches of territory around the Ural Railroad Administration, situated at 1 Gorkogo str. The bridges were a part of beatification system of Naberezhnaya str. Their sizes don’t really fascinate: the bridges are little over 2 meters in length and about 1.9 meters in width. Material, which the bridges were constructed of, is oversize brick, top of which was finished with stone facing. So, if the Perm administration finally allocates some money, it will be possible to make the bridges available for everyone, wishing to walk along the old Perm stones. It could be so that Mikhail Speranskiy, exiled to Perm, earl Pavel Stroganov, and Moderakh himself, and even maybe the emperor

Aleksandr the Blessed, visited our city in 1824, walked here.

The first really great bridge of Perm is the railway bridge across Kama. Perm had railroad since 1878, but there was not a direct connection to the right bank, and only twenty years later construction of the bridge was started. The construction works were conducted by engineer Malyshevskiy. The bridge turned out to be 438.9 sazhens (936.5 meters) in length. All its frames were manufactured at Votkinskiy plant. The bridge contributed significantly in communication of central Russia with Siberia and Far East. Twice during the civil war the bridge happened to be in an epicenter of battles. Early in the morning of December 25th 1918, soldiers of an assault battalion, under

command of colonel Urbankovskiy, moved overice to the right bank and, taking the bridge security in rear, could prevent explosion of the bridge. However, soon the Whites had run out of luck, and leaving Perm in summer of 1919 they exploded one of the bridge spans. The bridge had been reconstructed during very rough time, but already by February 18th 1920 the traffic was opened again. He present bridge is an absolutely different one, because all the old frames were replaced due to metal fatigue, and just a small part of the old bridge is saved at the regional museum.

The city continued to grow during the ХХ century. It had already districts at the right bank, so for the further development the city needed a road bridge. The Kamskaya

Hydropower station, constructed by 1954, functioned as a such bridge. Train and car traffic were opened through its dam, but the problem was not solved. For example, to get to zakamsk one had to go through Gaiva, spending time and fuel in vain. At last, thanks to B.V. Konoplev, the head of the region executive committee, construction of the Municipal Bridge, which was to connect Popova and Speshilova streets, had begun. November 1st 1967 is the day, when the new bridge was opened for traffic. Many people may have already forgotten that there was even trams traffic along the bridge. It was no use, but still it wasn’t a mistake. At that time there were special guidelines, according to which, regional centers could build bridges only with strictly specified width, so the Perm region authorities cheated Moscow by including street railway to the bridge design. As a result the bridge obtained few meters, which are turned out to be very important nowadays. So the drivers should thank the smart Perm officials, which obviously forecasted car traffic increase, though they still probably could not imagine the present traffic problems.

Today Perm has 4 big

road bridges (including dam of Kamskaya Hydropower Plant) and there are discussions about location of the fifth one; should it be in Motovilikha, somewhere near to Vosstaniya square, or in the city centre at Krisanova str. Well, there is no doubt that the city needs both bridges and as soon as possible, but unfortunately city can’t carry out both projects at the same time. Unlike Moscow and Rome, our city stands not at the seven hills, but at “the seven gullies”, which divide neighboring districts as firm as Kama separates the left bank from the right one. Bridges, dams and overpasses bind our city to the unified whole. Let’s hope that these binds will get more firm and prevent the city from choking with traffic jams.

On the 9th of December the

Perm contemporary art gallery will see the opening of the exhibi-tion “Revision”. It is going to represent the most important trends in contemporary Rus-sian art, represented by silk-screening works by prominent Russian artists.

Many works exposed there are extremely popular partly due to their scandalous history. It refers to “My flesh” by Alexander

Kosolapov. In 2005 a religious fanatic crushed it by a hammer at an art exposition.

The painters and their works represent

the most progressive trend of the Russian contemporary art. The pictures have been exposed not only in Moscow and St.

Petersburg but even in Tokyo and New York. The event is especially precious since all silk-screening reproductions are signed by their authors including the works by Pirogov and Novikov.

The exhibition is open from the 10th of December 2008 up to the 14th of January 2009. Working hours: 12 a.m. – 18 p.m., the admis-sion is free.The “Green Art” gallery. 14 Ordzhonikidze Str.Tel.: +7 902 4734788.Date: from 9.12.2008 up to 14.01.2009.

RECIEPT FROM CHIEF-COOK

Salad “Olivie”DescriptionThis salad is the creation of a French chef,

M. Olivie, who in the 1860s opened a fashionable restaurant in Moscow called The Hermitage. The present-day version has veered quite far from the original, but Salad Olivie continues to be a favor-ite hors d’oeuvre and side dish for entrees.

Ingredients• 1 whole chicken breast, poached, boned, and

skinned, or 1/2 pound lean cooked veal. • 1 pound all-purpose potatoes, boiled in their

skins and peeled. • 2 medium Cucumbers in Brine. • 1 cup cooked fresh or frozen peas. • 1 medium onion, finely chopped. • 1 cup Mayonnaise. • 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered. • 8 large black Greek olives. • 8 sprigs parsley.MethodServes 8-10 as an appetizer or 6 as an entreeCut the cooked chicken and potatoes into 1/2-

inch cubes. Peel the cucumbers and also cut into 1/2-inch cubes. In a large bowl, combine the meat, potatoes, cucumbers, green peas, and onion. Add the mayonnaise and mix gently, so those ingredi-ents are not mashed.

Refrigerate the salad until serving time (but for no longer than 4 hours).

Variation: Vegetable Salad OlivieOmit the chicken or veal to make a delicious

meatless side dish.

Sergei Alexandrov-ich Mikoulich is a

rarely miscellaneous person. He has suc-cessfully realized himself as a painter, a teacher and a pub-lic man striving for consolidating contacts with foreign partners.

He has devoted forty years of his life to the art, practicing graphic arts, sculpture and painting being fascinated most of all by easel painting. His anniversary exhibition represents more than 200 of his works in different styles and genres.

One can feel that the author is an

excellent observer who reconstructs very thoughtfully human world and nature. In his landscapes he mostly concentrates on tranquil transient states. In portraits he aims at depicting outstanding personal features. With that his models are distinguished by their inartificial beauty and truth to nature.

The painter has been always interested in Russian history. He addresses to it in various periods of his creation. Thus he wrote a wonderful composition “Ivan the Great” anticipating

the mess in Russian society. The picture is filled with grandeur and tragedy. The painter depicts scenes of folk life and folk stories as well (“Saltichikha”, “Emelya the Fool”). Landscapes have always been paid special attention in his works.

Mikoulich is keen on Russian realistic landscapes of the Itinerants tradition. He is mostly a plain-air painter like many artists of Russian realism. Every year he travels around Russia enjoying changing, elusive beauty of our quiet and marvelous

nature. In recent years he began to prefer panoramic works and large formats, vitalizing colors and making them the most expressive way of representation.

The painter has been participating in art exhibitions in Perm region for a long time. He’s also famous in other regions of Russia and in foreign countries.

mikoUlicH “painting by my Heart”

Perm painters have prepared a special

New Year gift for our city – the uncommer-cial project “Art-fo-rum. Perm”. It will take place on the 5th floor of the “Plati-num” shopping centre situated in 80 Pushkin street, from the 10th of December 2008 up to the 10th of January 2009.

The forum program includes:

1. The selling exhibition of pictures.

2. Master classes on painting and graphic arts.

3. Alive discussions with painters.

4. Performances.

The “Art-forum” will be the first project

of the “Platinum” exhibition hall. Union members, caricaturists of the “Pecar” club as well as independent painters and photographers will take part in it.

According to the event organizers, the name of the exhibition has a symbolic meaning. First of all it’s a superb gift for the New Year, secondly it might remind visitors of eternal and beautiful things and make them recall that the most precious thing is the Russian soul but not the commercial side of life, the content and not the exterior. All in all, the exhibition is going to become the platinum decoration

of the Perm region cultural treasury.

The forum way of the event organization was chosen on purpose. Forum implicates an open, informal meeting where everyone can talk to professionals in art and see the course of development and main creations of Perm art. The forum is organized by: Progress-2000 LLC, “Andre” cultural and production centre (the director: Andrei Trusov, tel.: 293-81-49) and Designer Lekha-kha.

The project will give a chance to people to come back to the time when the art wasn’t yet commercialized and beginning painters exposed their works on commonplace fairs

and not in specialized salons.

On the opening day – the 10th of December - at 16:00 the presentation of a new salon “Platinum” is going to take place. Its visitors will participate in the unusual interactive performance and will be able to express openly their creative potential.

The exhibition is open from 10 a.m. up to 8 p.m., seven days a week.

At the first week after the opening (from the 10th up to the 17th of December) – the admission is free.

We are looking forward to see you here.

This is not the first visit of the band to Perm, The res-taurant regular customers has already heard 1950’s rock’n’roll performed by the band. Easy mood of those times and excel-lent blues will certainly please the restaurant guests.

new Year (the night of December 31st/January 1st) is one of the most wonderful holidays, which has specific charm in Russia. In the West the new Year is taken as a modest addition to Christmas, but in Russia it is one of the most welcome, favorite and really nationwide holidays. Reminisce about this day, people think of the charming scent of fir, around which one danced with friends, aroma of tangerines, which are present at every new Year’s table, and the Grandpa Frost presents, lying under the tree. The new Year is the night when you want to believe in magic, in realization of the most incredible dream, which you wish yourself during the bell of Chimes (the major clock of Russia, situated at the Red Sqaure), in that the coming year will bring you only good. This is the night, when people pour out to the night streets and absolute strangers are happy to each other like the best friend.

There are a lot of traditions in celebration of the new Year in Russia. First of all it is mummers, buffoon and men of motley as an echo of Slavic paganism. The era of Peter the First and other ruling reformers brought us the new Year tree with decorations and fireworks, Santa Clause and the new Year table (Russia didn’t know such delicacies as Olivie salad and vinaigrette, porridge and pies were enough). The Soviet Union time gave us the Grandpa Frost with Snow maiden, tradition of Champagne and tangerines, and the bell of Chimes.

So, celebrate this night and the rest of the new Year holidays to remember it as a happy, bright and joyful. Visit friends, celebrate anyone you meet at the streets.

On December, 20-21 Perm will host the Second Interregional Festi-

val of Folk-Rock and Ethno Music “Tribes”.

The idea of putting Perm krai into the center of Russian and world folk culture might seem the way too ambitious, but organizers strive hard to make their dream come true. The name of the festival implies that music bands personalize tribes that come to-gether for a big reunion taking a dive into the world of music, creativity, unity of cultures and traditions. Each “tribe” will demonstrate its unique sounding, rare authentic instruments and communicate its idea of contem-porary folk music.

The Festival will take place on De-cember, 21-22 in the hall of Perm Krai Youth Center (Kommunisticheskaya Street, 185, tel. 246-51-44). Two days of incomparable music events from seven cities of Russia are waiting for you. We’d like to believe that the unique-ness of their art will cause a rising tide of interest to folk music among youth and strengthen the image of Perm krai as the cultural capital of the Urals.

TWO dAYS OF FOlK CulTuRE IN PERM

Beat Bada Boom (Orel) – ethnic drums band. Musicians use a great variety of percussion instruments. Their inspirational playing allows creating deep and rich melodics despite the band’s exclusive love for percussion. Beat Bada Boom is a regular guest and prize-winner of the Festival “Drums of the World”.

Voronovo Krylo (Raven’s Wing, Perm) is an independent project and creative studio that unites ethnic drummers, folk singers, and experimental musicians. They strive to create a peculiar space of cultural synthesis through integration of ethnic and music traditions. Musicians use a lot of ethnic instruments from different countries of the world.

In (Yekaterinburg) is pure sound and vibration each time generating new sounding! Rhythmus of life, rhythmus of death, resurrection, sounds of the forest, sounds of the world, of restless time… Sounds of fire, water, wind and earth… Music imbibing the beauty undistinguished in the course of everyday life. Just for an instance you may penetrate into this world of wonder rediscovering yourself and new dimensions of life.

Moon Far Away (Archangelsk): this ritual dark wave neo-folk band won wide recognition in Russia and became quite familiar abroad. Compositions of the band were included in about twenty Russian and foreign music compellations, their albums get favorable reviews in the media. Their album “White flood” is especially valuable for folk-lovers because 95% of compositions are folk songs of Archangelsk region in original arrangement.

Yaros (Perm) is a band of experimental musicians sharing an original view on folk-rock music, giving brilliant performances and creating vigorous and heartful music. The band became familiar with over 20 instruments from different parts of the world. Musicians remain in constant search of curious sounding born from combination of several instruments, traditional and contemporary art forms. During the festival the band will represent their first studio album “Urals”.

Skolot (Tambov) is an art folk-rock strongly influenced by Slav and Russian traditional music and folk culture. Compositions touch upon a huge period of Russian culture: from ancient times to our days, from heroic epics to joyful festive chants.

Tyloburdo Bird (Izhevsk) – is a girls’ band playing experimental music based on ethic tradition. Izhevsk beauties don’t confine themselves to Russian folk songs and Udmurt ceremonial chants. One can distinguish Scandinavian and African tunes and rhythms, as well as songs of their own composition. In Perm the band is known since 2007 when it took part in KamWa Festival.
