PEOPLE FROM MOSCOW
Moscow ... Russian: Москва ... is the capital city and the most populous federal subject of Russia. The city is a major political, economic, cultural and scientific center in Russia and on the continent. Based on Forbes 2011, Moscow has the largest community of billionaires in the world.Moscow is the northernmost megacity on Earth, the second most populous city in Europe, after Istanbul, and the 6th largest city proper in the world. It's also the largest city in Russia. Its population, according to the 2010 Census, is 11,503,501. By its territorial expansion on July 1, 2012 southwest into the Moscow Oblast the capital increased its area 2.5 times; from about 1,000 square kilometers (390 sq mi) up to 2,500 square kilometers (970 sq mi), and gained additional population of 230,000 people.
Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia. In the course of its history the city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and the subsequent Tsardom of Russia to the Soviet Union. Moscow is the site of the Moscow Kremlin, an ancient fortress that is today the residence of the Russian president and of the executive branch of the Government of Russia. The Kremlin is also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament (the State Duma and the Federation Council) also sit in Moscow.
The city is served by an extensive transit network, which includes four international airports, nine railroad terminals, and one of the deepest underground metro systems in the world, the Moscow Metro, second only to Tokyo in terms of passenger numbers. It is recognized as one of the city's landmarks due to the rich and varied architecture of its 185 stations.
Over time, Moscow has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The Third Rome (Третий Рим), The Whitestone One (Белокаменная), The First Throne (Первопрестольная), The Forty Forties (Сорок Сороков). In old Russian the word Сорок (forty) also meant a church administrative district, which consisted of about forty churches. Since 2011 the Moscow Government and NGOs have been trying to promote a new city image for tourists WowMoscow aimed at demonstrating its openness and friendliness. The demonym for a Moscow resident is Moskvitch, rendered in English as Muscovite, but not to forget, a Moskvitch is also the name for a Russian automobile brand of the Soviet era.

WHITE FORTRESS - an Open-Air Performance on and at the Water by DEREVO (St.Petersburg-Dresden).
Zwingerteich, Dresden, 22:00
11-13 June 2009
A magic flood of pictures, movements, sounds, lights and water this is a hallmark of the international famous DEREVO. The award-winning group of Russian artists founded 1988 in Leningrad and working in Dresden since 1996, believes in the nether world of purposes, in a realm of the pure ideas which rather may be reachable with the help of some wizardry theatre.
Exclusively for the Zwingerteich area (the pond at the Zwinger Palace) in the centre of Dresden DEREVO together with specially invited dancers, artists and musicians creates a magically moving night world, inspired by history, water and architecture.

Nizami Bandhu performs Qawwali
Nizami Bandhu performs during the Festival of Sacred Chants and Singing in Delhi.
The year 2003 marked the 10th anniversary of the installation and consecration of the Buddha Statue at Buddha Jayanti Park. To highlight the values of compassion, peace and tolerance symbolized by the statue, Tibet House organised a three-day Festival of Sacred Chanting and Singing from October 6 to 8. On the morning of the first day, people gathered to hear His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s discourse on The Four Seals of Buddhist Doctrine. This was followed by short performances by eighteen groups and individuals representing the spiritual traditions of five continents. During the evenings, as the moon grew larger and the air cooler, audiences in the Rose Garden of India International Centre enjoyed longer performances by these musicians.
There was great variety and range in the chanting and singing. While the Theravada Buddhist chant by Ven. Olande Ananda Thera was calm and peaceful, the performance of African songs by the Alafia Drumsong & Worldbeat Ensemble was lively and far from quiet. Christian Gregorian chants were performed by sisters from the Benedictine Monastic Community at St. Lioba in The Netherlands. Vietnamese Buddhists led by Ven. Thick Nhu Dien and group performed their tradition of Buddhist chant. Several musicians offered solo performances: Kongar- ol-Ondar, a high-energy throat singer from the Russian Republic of Tuva; Karen Therese from the USA, whose clear voice carried the tradition of Native American chanting; and Vidya Rao from Delhi, whose delicate singing of a Buddhist sutra was heard in Sanskrit.
There were other artists from Delhi too, including the Baha’i Choir from the Lotus Temple, Bhai Ajit Singh and Jatha, who chanted in the Sikh tradition, Samani Malli Pragya and group who sang hymns from the Arhat-Vandana Jain scriptures, and Prof. Vachaspati Upadhyaya’s group, who rendered Vedic chants. Shovana Narayan and her troupe of Kathak Festival of Sacred Chanting and Singing dancers offered the Shiva Mantram. Although Zoroastrianism has a large repertoire of songs, it has no tradition of chanting, but an innovative Parsi group from Mumbai led by Dr. Homi Dhalla created their own chants based on their sacred literature.
There were many performers from overseas. Tosi Poleri from Italy/ Ecuador played a “cross-cultural” medley of contemporary songs with a strong South American flavour, some of them accompanied by the pan pipes played throughout the Andes Mountains. Dr. Mordehai Wosk from Canada, Ruth Wieder-Magan and her group from Israel performed sacred Hebrew chant and hymns of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, and also a very innovative programme based on the esoteric aspects of the Hebrew alphabet.
The Buddhism of Tibet was, of course, also represented. The Tehor Khampa Ladies Choir from Dharamsala offered the Mani Chant, a melodious version of the most popular mantra amongst the Tibetan people. The monks from Gyüto Monastery articulated the Meditation on Emptiness.
On the final evening one experienced Delhi’s own acclaimed Qawwali singing by Ghulam Farid Nizami, Chand Nizami and group. Their rousing and joyous blend of singing, drumming and clapping of hands was a fitting conclusion to the Festival, and the enthusiastic drumming by the small son Nizami brought a smile to the faces of everyone who watched and listened. Every evening following dinner, spontaneous music (and even some dancing) burst forth from guitars, flutes, drums and voices from many lands singing in harmony.
