Learn Russian in St Petersburg
& Moscow

The first obstacle when learning Russian is that Russians use the Cyrillic alphabet. Therefore next week we will be listing an introduction into the Cyrillic alphabet so that you can familiarise yourself with the letters and their pronunciation. This will be followed each week by some useful Russian phrases that will make it easier for you to get around St Petersburg and Moscow

For those of you who are interested in learning Russian in Russia, in St Petersburg or Moscow please contact Russian Language School Globus International.

Series in which art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon tells the incredible story Russian art – its mystery and magnificence, and until now untold on British television.

The final part in the series  today examines political revolution and how art was at the forefront of throwing out 1,000 years of royal rule, from its earliest revolutionary days of enthusiasm and optimism when painting died, the poster was king and the machine-made triumphed over the handmade to the dead hand of Socialist Realism.

Andrew roots out great portraits of Stalin now hidden in museum storerooms and never on public view, looks at the transformation of the Moscow metro into a great public art gallery and visits the most stunning creation of post-war Communist rule, the Space Monument.
