The Astoria Restaurant St Petersburg 1913
Here I present an album of photographs of the famous Astoria Restaurant taken in 1913, a few months after the opening of the hotel
The hotel was commissioned in 1910 in the hope that it would be ready for the tercentenary of the Romanov dynasty -- but by the time the royal festivities took place in May 1913, the hotel had already found favour with St Petersburg society. Its opening on 23 December 1912 was enough of an event for the noted photographer Karl Bulla to capture the evening on film.It was the start of a brief but flamboyant period. As the First World War raged, aristocrats threw lavish parties in the hotel's Winter Garden ballroom. Rasputin was known to spend the night with some of his married lovers, sneaking away from the machinations of court.

Russia - Funeral preparations
T/I: 10:26:58
St-Petersburg was rushing to complete preparations for the reburial of the last Russian Tsar this week, amid accusations of underfunding and the absence of Russia`s state and church leadership on the guest list. The remains of Nikolai II and his family, who were murdered by Bolshevik gunmen on July 17 1918, are due to be reburied in a chapel of Peter and Raul fortress on Friday (17/7). While souvenir vendors reported a roaring trade in imitation Nikolai II dolls, the St Petersburg city government, charged with organising the event, complained it was not getting financial backing. The federal Russian government promised to contribute $833,000 to the funeral, but St Petersburg governor Vladimir Yakovlev says they are yet to pay up. Meanwhile, the top representative of the current Romanov house, Nikolai Romanovich Romanov (great-great grandson of Tsar Nikolai FIRST) said it was time to end the most blood-stained period in Russian history, by completing the burial.

Николаев / Nikolaev before the Revolution

Nikolaev

Nikolaev, or Mykolaiv is a city in southern Ukraine and reputed to be the main ship building centre on the Balck Sea.
When this album was made, the city was part of the Russian Empire.
The city's origin was made possible by the conquests of the Second Russo-Turkish War. Founded by Prince Grigory Potemkin, in 1789, Nikolaev was the last of the many cities he established. He created shipyards and named the city after Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of seafarers. By the 19th century the port city was ranked third in the Russian Empire, after St. Petersburg and Odessa.

Artists compete at Siberian ice sculpture festival
(11 Jan 2018) LEADIN
An ice sculpture festival is taking place in the freezing city of Krasnoyarsk in Siberia.
Magical ice of Siberia saw 58 sculptors create art in temperatures reaching almost -30 degrees.
STORYLINE
Despite the bitter cold in Siberia, artists from Asia and Europe gathered at the ice and snow sculpture festival in the Russian city of Krasnoyarsk.
The festival Magical ice of Siberia is traditionally held in the coldest month in Russia, January, when temperatures could drop below -30 Celsius.
This year it was -27 degrees Celsius (-17 Fahrenheit), and the organisers postponed the part of the competition for children and youth to late February.
However, 58 professional sculptors from Japan, Latvia, Belarus and various Russian regions have not been afraid of the cold and came to Krasnoyarsk, to test themselves.
We came at night of 5th (January), it was -27 (Celsius). Indeed, it was very cold. We got off bus and realised there was not enough air for us, says Olga Zhadetskaya, a sculptor from Belarus, adding: We had troubles with tools. The chainsaw didn't start due to the frost, it didn't want to work.
In these conditions, instruments the sculptors use for carving, such as chainsaws, fretsaws, and grinders sometimes failed, and the participants mostly had to work manually.
However, they found the weather perfect as the cold snow holds any form it is moulded into and water freezes immediately when it is used as a glue for ice pieces.
An additional advantage was the crystal blue ice, which according to organisers is due to the Yeniseli river which is one of the cleanest in the world.
Most creations are abstract, but highly meaningful.
For example, the team from Japan depicted the love on the planet: We are making the sculpture called The book about love. From this book a woman flies out. Another woman, the second figure, supports her. Together they symbolise love. And the book is the globe. So the love reigns on the globe, Mido Harada, a sculptor from Japan, explains.
This is the sixth time the festival has been held in Krasnoyarsk and it's always eagerly awaited by residents.
The sculptures are also greatly admired by visitors, but the meaning behind certain masterpieces is not self-explanatory:
The only thing is that the first one (sculpture) is not very clear, Collective mind. But the rest is understandable, Galina Kornaukhova, a visitor, says.
The festival is not only an exhibition but also a contest: the sculptors competed in two categories - the best snow creation and the best ice creation.
For professionals there also important technical issues to be solved so as to put this vast mass of ice onto a thin bow, onto small paws, to balance it. Here the resistance of materials, physics are used. Philosophy (the message) is also not in the last place, Sergei Nikolayev, winner of the best ice sculpture says.
The winners are the team Ice Edge for their ice sculpture A key to any door and the family team of the Petukhovs for their snow sculpture Fishing Season.
Both are from Russia and were awarded 100 thousand rubles (around 2000 US dollars) each. Other participants also received prizes such as carving tools.
The beautiful snow and ice figures are not long-lasting, unfortunately they will disappear when the first warm day comes.
In the changeable Siberian climate it could happen at anytime, even in the winter.
