1 The Country of the Firebird: Architectural, Artistic and Religious Traditions of Russia May 22 June 7, 2010 with Dr. Valery Efimenko Travel to Russia is a unique opportunity to get acquainted with Russian history and culture. This fascinating journey will take us to Russia s two magnificent capitals - Moscow and St. Petersburg - as well as to some great places around them. Moscow is called the heart of Russia due to its enormous cultural, economic and political role in the country s life. This city united Russian people to fight off the Mongol invaders, and since then it has grown to become the largest city in Europe with active trade, buoyant culture, fascinating architecture and expressive lifestyle. Astounding domed churches dot the skyline despite 70 years of official state atheism, and architectural designs can be found dating back hundreds of years. Our tour will include the Moscow Kremlin with its beautiful cathedrals, the Red Square, the Tretyakov Gallery, and Bolshoi Theatre. St. Petersburg, Venice of the North, is the second largest city of Russia and its former capital, founded by Peter the Great in Italian and French architects planned the city, giving it the classical beauty. One of the world s most brilliant cities, St. Petersburg has been a lavish scene of Russian literature, music, theatre, and ballet. We will visit historic and artistically notable sites palaces, cathedrals, museums and parks, including the Winter Palace and the Hermitage Museum, Peter and Paul Fortress, St. Isaac s Cathedral, Russian Museum, and the Mariinsky Theatre (former Kirov Ballet). In addition to these two great cities, we will take a short trip to the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, the most important Russian monastery and a popular tourist destination, in Sergiyev Posad near Moscow, as well as Petrodvorets and Tsarskoe Selo, beautiful suburbs of St. Petersburg with summer residences of Russian tsars and magnificent parks. Orientation The orientation course will consist of five Wednesday evenings, April 21, 28 and May 5, 12, 19, 2010, 7 9 pm, held at the University of Calgary campus.

The Kremlin is the oldest part of Moscow and the official residence of the Russian President whose offices are located in the Grand Kremlin Palace.

Their exhibits include works by Rembrandt, the Minor Dutchmen, Botticelli, Canaletto, Cezanne, Gauguin, van Gogh, Matisse, Renoir, Picasso, and many others. Our second destination will be the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, possibly the tallest Eastern Orthodox Church in the world. Afternoon free. (B, D) May 29 Today, we will explore the Stalin Classicism, an architectural style of Moscow high-rise buildings characterized by their rich decorations with Soviet symbols. The best examples of this style, also called Stalin s Empire style, are eight high-rises built in 1950s the Moscow University, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hotel Ukraine, and Hotel Peking. Other high-rises were mainly occupied by prominent Soviet scientists, famous actors, and party apparatchiks. Next, we re off to the Moscow Metro, the largest subway system in Russia, famous for its ornate design of many of its stations. Finally, we will visit Moscow s famous Izmailovo Market, a Mecca for Russian souvenirs and folk art. Lunch on our own at the market. (B, L) May 30 We ll begin the day by visiting Novodevichy Convent, one of the most beautiful monasteries in Russia. Then we will explore the museum of Kolomenskoye a former royal estate where Tsars in the 14th century built their summer residences. The Church of the Ascension, built in 1532, is one of the earliest examples of a traditional wooden tent-roofed church on a stone and brick substructure, which had a great influence on the development of Russian ecclesiastical architecture. Here we will enjoy a folklore program, and Russian samovar tea with pancakes. In the late evening, we board the first-class overnight train to St. Petersburg.

After breakfast, we take a tour of the city covering Nevsky Prospect, the embankments of the Neva River, the Palace Square, and the Winter Palace a magnificent, Baroque-style palace which was the official royal residence of Russian monarchs. After lunch we explore the Peter and Paul Fortress, which houses the Mint of St. Petersburg and serves as a history museum. The central monument here is the Peter and Paul Cathedral. (B) 14
3 June 1 A tour of the Winter Palace and the Hermitage Museum will surely be one of the most fascinating experiences during our stay in St. Petersburg. (B) June 2 Our first stop today will be at one of the most spectacular orthodox churches in the world, the St. Isaac s Cathedral, built in 19th century by French architect Montferrand. Then, we re off to the waterways of St. Petersburg. This city is situated on over 40 islands with more than 70 rivers and canals running through its territory, which is where the comparison to Venice comes from. From the Senate Square, with its monument to Peter the Great (the legendary ` Bronze Horseman ), we will take a boat tour to enjoy this network of rivers and canals and see the city s major attractions along the way. Then we will take a walk around one of the most romantic places in St. Petersburg the Summer Garden with its breathtaking collection of Italian statues set in a natural environment of linden trees and ponds. (B) June 3 We will go on an exciting tour of Pushkin, formerly known as Tsarskoe Selo ( Tsar s Village ), a former residence of the imperial family and visiting nobility. We will see the impressive Palace of Catherine II, her favourite summer residence, with superbly decorated interiors and a vast magnificent park with innumerable Rococo style grottoes, pavilions, lakes, canals, and bridges. The Palace is home to the exquisite Amber Room, sometimes called the eight wonder of the world, thanks to its beautiful decorations of amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors. (B, D) June 4 Housed in the former Palace of Michael Romanov, the Russian Museum established in 1895 houses the world s largest collection of the Russian art from the 10th century to the present day. Here we will see the old Russian icons, including several superb works by Andrei Rublev. The museum s greatest pride is its immense collection of 18th to 20th century paintings representing all major artistic trends in the Russian art. It also has the world s finest collection of the Russian avant-garde. The Church of Saviour on Spilled Blood is just two steps away from the Russian museum. It was built to mark the spot where Alexander II was assassinated by the terrorists of the People s Will in Despite its tragic designation, the Cathedral looks very ornate and is one of the best known symbols of St. Petersburg. In the evening, we will enjoy an Opera or Ballet performance. (B, L) June 5 We will visit the Blockade of Leningrad Museum. The rest of the day is free to enjoy on our own. (B) June 6 We take a speed boat to reach Petrodvorets, another summer residence of the Romanov royal family located on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland. The main attraction here is a former imperial residence of Peterhof with the palace of Peter the Great surrounded by small palaces, now converted to museums, and vast parks that rivalled Versailles and were famous for their amazing fountains and cascades. The most spectacular part of the Peterhof complex is the Grand Cascade decorated by numerous gold-leafed statues and fountains. We will return to St. Petersburg by bus. (B, Farewell Dinner) June 7 Return to Calgary.
