LEAD IN:
More than three thousand Russian fans of Japanese anime gathered in St. Petersburg for the annual anime festival.
The 'Tosho-Con' convention is the largest event of its kind in Russia.
STORYLINE:
In Russia they call them 'Otaku' - the term describing people obsessed with the Japanese craze of anime.
Anime is another word for animation - and that's what fans do - recreate scenes from old Japanese comic books and cartoons.
Anime is spreading fast in Russia, not only in big cities like Moscow and St.Petersburg, but in much smaller provincial towns, which were also represented at the festival.
The anime world is played out via costumes, music and performances. Many of the participants make their own costumes. Some write their own music.
For others anime is an outlet from day-to-day life - a form of escapism and self expression. For others, it's just a bit of fun.
This is my type of rest, let's say it's my hobby, says student Edic Aibasov. I like it, it's sort of going back to childhood. I like sewing my costumes, making swords and so on, and then to perform on the scene and get pictures of it. It is something to remember.
I think people want this way to distract themselves from their regular life, to get their dreams come true and to be incarnated in somebody else, says Alexander Kalinin.
The event also featured karaoke, a martial arts demonstration and video game tournaments.

Mikhail Nosyrev was born on May 28, 1924 in Leningrad.
In 1941 he finished his 10-year studies at the Leningrad Conservatory School and was enrolled as a first-year student at the Conservatory itself. Two years later during the siege of Leningrad he became a solo violinist at the Leningrad radio committee and conductor at the Music Comedy Theatre.
In 1943 he was arrested and sentenced to death by firing squad for the “treason against the Motherland”. The main proof of the 19-year old young man's guilt was an “anti-Soviet” diary found during a house search.
A month later the sentence was commuted to a 10-year term, which he fully served as a concertmaster at the Music and Drama Theatre in a camp of Vorkuta.
From 1953 Nosyrev lived in Syktyvkar, where he became the first conductor of the Komi drama theatre.
From 1958 until 1981 Nosyrev was a conductor at the Voronezh State Opera and Ballet Theatre. He participated in dozens of productions.
In 1967 he became a member of the USSR Union of Composers (UC). He received his recommendation for entering the UC from Dmitri Shostakovich, whose creative work Mikhail Nosyrev admired greatly throughout all his life and to whom he dedicated his Second Symphony.
The ballet “The Song of Triumphant Love” written by the composer to the short story by Ivan Turgenev ran at the Voronezh State Opera and Ballet Theatre for about twenty seasons.
Mikhail Nosyrev was completely rehabilitated from the charges of treason by the Supreme Court of the USSR in 1988, seven years after his death.

Axis Powers
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Axis powers (German: Achsenmächte; Italian: Potenze dell'Asse; Japanese: 枢軸国 Sūjikukoku), also known as the Rome–Berlin–Tokyo Axis, were the nations that fought in World War II against the Allies. The Axis powers agreed on their opposition to the Allies, but did not completely coordinate their activity.
The Axis grew out of the diplomatic efforts of Germany, Italy, and Japan to secure their own specific expansionist interests in the mid-1930s. The first step was the treaty signed by Germany and Italy in October 1936. Benito Mussolini declared on 1 November that all other European countries would from then on rotate on the Rome–Berlin axis, thus creating the term Axis. The almost simultaneous second step was the signing in November 1936 of the Anti-Comintern Pact, an anti-communist treaty between Germany and Japan. Italy joined the Pact in 1937. The Rome–Berlin Axis became a military alliance in 1939 under the so-called Pact of Steel, with the Tripartite Pact of 1940 leading to the integration of the military aims of Germany, Italy and Japan.
At its zenith during World War II, the Axis presided over territories that occupied large parts of Europe, North Africa, and East Asia. There were no three-way summit meetings and cooperation and coordination was minimal, with slightly more between Germany and Italy. The war ended in 1945 with the defeat of the Axis powers and the dissolution of their alliance. As in the case of the Allies, membership of the Axis was fluid, with some nations switching sides or changing their degree of military involvement over the course of the war.
