Saturday 3rd October 2015, Earlston in the Scottish Borders, a year after the 200th anniversary of Lermontov’s birth and arrival of the bust to Earlston. The official unveiling ceremony of the Mikhail Lermontov sculpture took place with Gwen Hardie representing the Thomas the Rhymer / Lermonth side and Mairi Koroleva from Moscow representing the Lermontov Family.The bust was gifted to Scotland in 2014 in acknowledgement of the link between the Thomas the Rhymer, the Learmonth and Lermontov families. Mikhail Lermontov, who died in a duel in 1841 at age 26, never got to see Scotland, but he was a descendant of a Scottish soldier of fortune, George Learmonth, who settled in Russia in the early 17th century and adapted his name to Lermontov. His standing in Russia was almost akin to that of Robert Burns. One of Lermontov's first well known ancestors was a mysterious 13th Century Scottish poet and prophet from Earlston, known as Thomas the Rhymer. Also present at the unveiling were the Consul General of the Russian Federation Andrey Pritsepov and Vice-Consul Timofey Kunitskiy along with John Paton-Day, the chairman of Earlston community council and many guests from across Scotland. We travelled from the North of Scotland representing the Highland-Russia connection Charity based in Nairn with our Russian-Scottish programme consisting of Russian and Highland dancing, bagpipes, Russian songs ,music and poems. There were also performances from The Glasgow Russian Orthodox School choir, the Brian Forest Scottish Dance Band, The Small Time Splitters ukulele band and Alex MacAllister on the bagpipes. Speeches at the Earlston gathering were given by Gwen Hardie, chairperson of the local Friends of Thomas the Rhymer group, by Mairi Koroleva, representing the Lermontov family , the Consul General of the Russian Federation Andrey Pritsepov, Gerald Maitland-Carew, Lord Lieutenant of Roxburgh, Ettrick and Lauderdale, and by professor Ronald Black who gave a very interesting lecture regarding the history of Thomas the Rhymer. The speeches were then followed by entertainment portraying Scottish and Russian culture. The whole event was a fitting tribute to Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov, a direct descendant of George Learmonth and one of Scotland’s sons, who has finally come home. A historical moment and a great day. Thanks to Mairi Koroleva, Gwen Hardie and the Thomas the Rhymer group for their perseverance in making this project succeed and for helping to bring Scottish and Russian culture together.
Как нищета спасает города: Торжок и Пятигорск
Города, у которых есть всё, чтобы стать туристическими центрами. Но пока их наследие пылится среди разрухи и русской нищеты. Мы отправляемся в Торжок и Пятигорск.
Что касается Торжка: идеальное расположение на главной туристической дороге страны, десятки памятников архитектуры, сильная кулинарная идентичность — именно тут придумали пожарские котлеты! Нет у Торжка только одного — хозяина. У Пятигорская тоже огромный туристический потенциал: дома, Лермонтовская галерея, кофейня Гукасова — зданиям повезло, что нет денег на «реставрацию».
Суровые русские города:
Борзя: худший город России
Омск: самый серый город России
Посмотри, как прекрасна Россия!
Белгород — один из лучших городов России!

Russia as a travel destination
For most westerners, Russia is associated with its European cities - Moscow and St.Petersburg. This is the heartland of Russia, and these great and ancient cities often become the focus for most guests. However, there is much more about Russia, a country that spans eleven time zones, ending less than 85 km from North America. Within this vast expanse lie the largest freshwater lake in the world, rivers and forests teeming with fish and wildlife, awe inspiring volcanoes, and towering mountains. Russia is the largest country of the Earth, with enormous tracts of land, its natural and cultural heritage waiting to be discovered.
Russia has a formidable pool of recreational resources, including natural landscapes of endless variety and inimitable beauty, monuments of history and cultural heritage, unique engineering structures, and unmatched cities, towns and smaller communities.
The most popular tourist attractions are the old Russian cities of Vladimir, Suzdal, Sergiev Posad, Pereyaslavl Zalessky, Rostov, Uglitch, Yaroslavl and Kostroma, the biggest gems of Russia’s Golden Ring. Also high on every tourist’s priority list are itineraries by boat from Moscow to St.Petersburg and the Valaam Island, a central point of religious piligrimage, or to Kizhi, the wonderland of old Russian wooden architecture, the Northern Caucasus and the Black Sea coast, to Mount Elbrus, the Ural mountains, and the Altai country, in different natural settings, from the Black Sea coast (like Gelenzhik and Anapa), the Baltic Sea (Sestroretsk, Komarovo, Zelenogorsk, Svetlogorsk, etc.) to the mountains of the Northern Caucasus (Teberda and Dombai), Ural (Kisegatch and Uveldy) and Altai (Chemal).
In the forest steppe and steppe areas, the invigorating nature is supplemented with refreshing koumiss, which is a favourite drink among the vacationers in Bashkortostan (Aksakovo, Yumatovo and Shafranovo).
There is no doubt that the most celebrated among Russian balneological resorts, a craze since the early 19th century to our day, of course, are the Caucasian Spas, a cluster of mineral springs at Yessentuki, Zheleznovodsk, Kislovodsk and Pyatigorsk, with Naltchik a short way off. The most famous among the local springs are Slaviansky, Smirnovsky, Lermontovsky, Batalinsky, the narzan springs of Kislovodsk, and mineral treats No.17 and No.4 at Yessentuki.
With the disintegration of the Soviet Union crime has been rising throughout Russia, however, it is safer here than in many American cities. Precautions include not flaunting valuables, or walking alone at night through city streets or parks.
