How did a Pskov church inspire Le Corbusier?
Legendary French architect Le Corbusier realized only one project in the Soviet Union - the ‘Centrosoyuz’ building in Moscow. He dreamed of rebuilding the capital by destroying old buildings, but eventually found a source of inspiration in Russian architecture for projects in his homeland.
During his visit to Russia in 1921, he made several trips around the country, including a visit to Pskov. The architect was impressed by the ancient churches, especially the Church of the Epiphany in Zapskovye.
The white stone church on the right bank of the Pskova River was built at the end of the 15th century. From there, one can clearly see the surrounding area - it is impossible to take your eyes off the majestic landscape. It is a complex architectural construction with galleries and a powerful belfry to match it.
The outline of the Pskov church can be seen in the church of Notre-Dame-du-Eau in Ronchan, which Le Corbusier worked on in the mid-1950s. The substantial concrete building, resembling a majestic ship, absorbed the architect’s most vivid impressions - from the ruins of the Greek Parthenon, the Roman villa of Hadrian to the Pskov Church of the Epiphany.
"It is often said that, when designing the church in Ronchan, Le Corbusier was inspired by the image of the Church of the Epiphany from Zapskovye. I think this is partly true, because Russian medieval architecture really made a great impression on him, as evidenced by his numerous letters and diary notes," says architectural critic Olga Mamaeva.
“But, it is hardly possible to compare these buildings directly; it would be more correct to talk about individual rhymes, which are not difficult to guess."
The French architect's masterpiece was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016, while the church in Pskov was included in it in 2019.

Where is Russia’s biggest working church bell & how heavy is it?
The biggest and most famous bell, the Tsar Bell, is, naturally, located in the Moscow Kremlin. It stands on a pedestal and actually never once rang. It was cast in 1730 by order of Empress Anna Ioannovna and weighs 202 tons. However, it was damaged before it was raised to the bell tower.
Empress Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, did not restore the "tsar" bell, but decided to cast her own. The 65-ton giant successfully rang in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra from 1750 to 1930 and was heard dozens of kilometers away. But, in Soviet times, it was thrown off the bell tower and smashed to pieces.
Twenty years ago, the Lavra decided to restore the bell. The new "tsar" bell was cast in St. Petersburg and delivered by a special train to a monastery near Moscow.
On May 30, 2004, the 72-ton bell rang for the first time. Now, it is the largest working bell in Russia. Its "tongue" alone weighs 2 tons and requires six people to swing it! You can hear the dense ringing on big church holidays.

The “Immortal Regiment” in New Delhi, starting at the Russian House, ended at the monument to Leo Tolstoy. On the eve of the 79th anniversary of the Great Victory, more than 100 people took part in the procession in the Indian capital. At the final stage, near the monument to the classics, the director and staff of the state craft center Cottage Industries Emporium joined the procession.
The cultural center hosted a concert by artists from four Indian colleges and a school at the Russian Embassy, as well as talent from the Russian language courses of the Russian House.
The day ended with a screening of Nikolai Lebedev’s film “Nuremberg” (2023) at the Russian House.
The director of the center, Oleg Osipov, noted that every year the interest of Indian youth in Russia is growing, which is manifested, in particular, in the fact that universities, schools, and cultural figures on their own initiative get in touch, proposing projects for cooperation.

This Soviet scientist decoded the Mayan script even before traveling to Mexico!
In a dusty cabinet of a Leningrad museum, a young Yuri Knorozov managed to do what scientists across the world had been struggling over for centuries. And he only visited Mexico a whopping 40 years after his epochal discovery.
The simple employee of the Museum of Ethnography of the Peoples of the USSR began learning about Maya writing from a scientific article.
It was first presented as an unsolvable riddle of mankind. “What was invented by a human mind can be unraveled by another human mind,” Knorozov said later in an interview. No one in the USSR before him had ever taken on the challenge, so he decided to give it a try.
Having studied all available documents, he realized that each Mayan sign should be read as a syllable, not a single letter or word. So, he proposed a system for reading the entire language. In 1952, Knorozov wrote a paper on his method and received a PhD degree.
Soon, the whole world learned about Knorozov's discovery and he was even allowed to travel to several foreign conferences from the otherwise closed USSR. However, he only saw the monuments of the Mayan civilization for the first time in the 1990s, already as an elderly man.
Although few people in Russia have heard of his name, he is still a real star in Latin America.

Местные часто называют Архангельск воротами Арктики. Это не удивительно: город находится в 30 километрах от Белого моря. В начале XX века отсюда отходили полярные экспедиции, которые двигались по вечной мерзлоте Заполярья. Архитектура — первое, чем город поражает туристов. В Архангельске находится единственный в своем роде 100-метровый советский небоскреб в стиле модернизма. При СССР внутри находились проектные организации, однако сейчас площади занимают офисы. Кстати, прямо от небоскреба идет на Чумбаровка — главная пешеходная улица города.
Советуем также отправиться на набережную Северной Двины. Отсюда можно сесть на теплоход, который проходит по реке через весь город. Поездка туда-обратно, согласно сайтам для туристов, обойдется в сумму до 206 руб. Любителям истории приглянется Новодвинская крепость. Построенный ещё при Петре I бастион служил для защиты местного морского порта и судостроительной верфи. Кстати, к ней следует отправиться этой осенью — закончатся работы по реставрации крепости.
