Moscow. Walking on Garden Ring part 2. [4K]
This walk took place the next day after a record amount of snow fell in Moscow. The city has not seen such heavy rainfall for more than 15 years. Therefore, despite what you saw on the cleaning equipment on the streets, in some places the snow has not yet been removed. In this walk, we will also briefly turn from the Garden Ring to see the Paveletsky railway station, one of the most beautiful railway station buildings in Moscow.
The hike starts from Taganskaya Square, one of the most difficult traffic intersections of the city, here several different directions intersect at once. To get around the square, we need four minutes of video and a small arc on the street next to the Garden Ring.

Comics are very important for American culture. It's very much involved in the cultural- Hollywood- and political stuff. And like in my former homeland, Russia, we studied Social Realism. For me and for other artists it was very interesting to juxtapose or confront these two styles in one art work.

12. Pan from sketch of MickeyLenin statue to final work standing in front of it
STORYLINE:
Russian artist Aleksandr Kosolapov's latest art work looks set to generate both controversy and much amusement.
He has created a bronze statue of Lenin, in a very familiar pose - but with the head of Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse.
The piece is only a metre high, but is mounted on a Roman-style pedestal to raise it to a height of 2 metres 40cm.
The concept for this piece originated in the early 90's when Kosolapov attended a forum to decide what was to be done with the Communist monuments around Moscow.
Rather than removing the statues he proposed simply creating rubber or silicone masks for them to wear for a postmodern artistic statement.
Kosolapov, a member of the so-called sots school of art which emerged in the Soviet Union inspired by American pop art, came to fame in 1980 when the Coca Cola company took exception to his using their trademark in one of his paintings.
The painting portrayed Lenin with the Coca Cola trademark symbol, with the slogan, It's the real thing, and a huge version of this work was exhibited in Times Square, New York.
The legal proceedings against Kosolapov were defeated when the court was convinced that the Coca Cola trade mark had become the property of the American people, as a part of national folklore.
For his next project, Kosolapov is considering creating a like-sized partner for MickeyLenin in the form of Minnie Mouse's head on the body of the Venus de Milo, in white marble. The pair would represent concepts of female beauty and masculine strength.

RUSSIA: MOSCOW: COMMUNISTS PROTEST AGAINST NEW GOVERNMENT
Russian/Nat
Once again, communists have taken to the streets of central Moscow.
Several hundred protestors, led by the hardline communist Viktor Anpilov, called President Yeltsin an executioner who should be imprisoned.
Communist protestors, demonstrating against Russia's new government, marched through Moscow late on Monday.
They had planned to march by torchlight, but Moscow authorities forbade them.
They walked from the city's main statue of Lenin, on the renamed Kaluzhskaya Square, to Saint Basil's cathedral on Red Square.
The Communists were protesting against the new government and the new prime minister, Yevgeniy Primakov, appointed only last Friday by President Yeltsin.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
We are sick of this illegal government. They came in 1991 and they stole everything from the country. Yeltsin and Chernomyrdin and all of those thieves did it.
SUPER CAPTION: Marina, pensioner
The Russian economy has taken a nose-dive in recent years.
Many older Russians hanker for the Communist era, saying that life in Russia was better before the reforms.
Despite the protests, the Russian government says it remains dedicated to creating a market economy.

May 6, 2012 Russia_ Opposition forces gather for 'March of Millions' in Moscow
Russian opposition forces are taking to Moscow's streets on Sunday to protest the inauguration of Vladimir Putin as the new Russian President, which is set to take place on Monday.
The action is called the March of Millions. Police say some 8,000 people have turned out so far.
The route of the march is the same as the February 4 protest, which rallied at least 34,000 people -- from Kaluzhskaya Square down Yakimanka Street to Bolotnaya Square. The event is scheduled to last for 3.5 hours.
Other Russian cities are also seeing protests on Sunday as part of the March of Millions campaign, but in most cases only several dozen participants are attending the rallies.

SCRIPT
Russia: Activists gather in Bolotnaya Square one year since the riots
Several hundred activists marched through central Moscow and held a rally at Bolotnaya square on Sunday, May 5. Participants commemorated the first anniversary of last year's mass protest, when violent clashes between police and marchers broke out. The rally started on Kaluzhskaya square at 13:00 GMT, and continued through Yakimanka district, ending with a rally on Bolotnaya embarkment -- on the opposite side from the Kremlin where last year's events took place.
This year's event was organised by a plurality of opposition groups who had the rally authorised by Moscow city local authorities. Protesters used the platform provided to demand freedom for political prisoners and reforms to the state. Though participation was small, the language used from the podium conveyed anger towards Russia's government. Nikolay Bondarik a member of the Opposition Coordination Council roused the crowd saying: We should not concentrate only on protest actions. Of course, I dream about and believe that sooner or later a million of angry Russian males will come out here and get rid of that filth in Kremlin. Another organiser of the protest, Maxim Briuselovsky, praised those who turned up for not resigning to a sense of defeatism: You were told not to come, you heard that there is no need to come, but you still came because you are the best people who really make up a core of the protest. A large police presence ensured public order during the event.
Last year's actions took place on May 6 with thousands of protesters on the streets of central Moscow. Organised on the eve of inauguration of the newly elected Russian President Vladimir Putin, protesters challenged the electoral process, claiming that results which showed Putin to have won with 64% of the votes, had been forged. Violent clashes between the police and protesters resulted in more than 400 arrests and saw the launch of a criminal investigation, referred to as the 'Bolotnaya Case'. Currently, the list of suspects includes 28 individuals, with each of them facing charges varying from causing mass unrest to using violence against law enforcement officials. The allegations are opposed by those under trial and their supporters, who claim that police actions provoked the riots

SUMMARY
=======
Stalinist architecture, mostly known in the former Eastern bloc as Stalinist Empire style (Russian: Сталинский Ампир, translit. Stalinskiy Ampir) or Socialist Classicism, is a term given to architecture of the Soviet Union under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, between 1933, when Boris Iofan's draft for Palace of the Soviets was officially approved, and 1955, when Nikita Khrushchev condemned excesses of the past decades and disbanded the Soviet Academy of Architecture. Stalinist architecture is associated with the socialist realism school of art and architecture.
