17 Instantes de una Primavera (17 Moments of Spring) PART 12
The series is based on a true story of a Russian spy Colonel Isaev (Stirlitz) in Fascist Germany during 17 days in very end of WWII. Stirlitz has worked his way to the very top of the Fascist hierarchy without being caught. However, his colleagues, top Hitler's officers Borman, Mueller, Schellenberg are beginning to suspect him. Stirlitz is constantly walking on the edge between his two identities, sending information to Russia, while skillfully maintaining the appearance of loyalty to fascist regime.
Many movies that used to impress us awhile ago (1973), fail to impress us any more. Not this one.
This movie is a masterpiece of the Soviet Cinema. Now when it is available on DVD in North America, I have watched it again and I cannot think of any other old Russian/Soviet movie that strikes me so much. On the surface, the story is about an agent of the Soviet intelligence service who tries to obtain the proof of the attempts of high-rank Nazi to strike a separate deal with the Western Allies in the last months of the World War Two in Europe. However, the movie is much deeper than a spy thriller. No invisible ink, hi-tech guns and beautiful women. Or, rather, just one: the hero's wife. He had not seen her for many years, and now he is allowed to meet her. He is in a cafe in Berlin. She enters, takes a seat in a far corner, orders a cup of coffee. She talks to her companion for a minute and then, suddenly, she turns over to face her husband. They look into each other's eyes for a second or two, then she turns her gaze away from him, put her coffee aside and walk away. The meeting is over. Oh, the power of these so mercilessly brief moments... No words, just great acting and beautiful music. This scene is one of the greatest masterpieces of all times.

Building on the past - I.M.Pei and the royal arsenal part 1
Teaser from the documentary about architecture in Berlin
author&director: Jeremy JP Fekete cine+/rbb/arte
ENGLISH
I. M. Pei and the royal arsenal
Documentary from Jeremy JP Fekete
It has become a debated symbol of the city, right in the heart of Berlin: I.M. Pei´s modern addition to the Royal Arsenal building, the Königliche Zeughaus, houses the Deutsche Historische Museum/German Historical Museum. This is an example of a Chinese-American architect building on Prussian history. This film is made up of fascinating and impressive images telling the story of a building that was once the royal arsenal, then the Prussian hall of honour, the East German Museum of national history and now the German Historical Museum. Two buildings represent two different epochs, two contrasting stories that are presented in a thrilling manner....
Diagonally opposite the Berlin City Palace on the Unter den Linden boulevard, a pompous baroque building was erected at great expense in 1695: the Armoury. It was used exclusively as the imperial weapons arsenal and was designed to make sure everybody noticed how big it was. In spite of all its ornamentation the building appeared too modern to many critics of the day, who claimed that it did not fit in to the cityscape. This film by Jeremy J.P. Fekete in the ARTE series Building on the Past illustrates the phenomenon by with the successful symbiosis of the armoury and the Pei building.
FRENCH
I. M. Pei et l'Arsenal du roi
Documentaire de Jeremy JP Fekete
L'Arsenal royal, construit en 1695, abrite le musée de l'Histoire allemande. I. M. Pei lui a adjoint un bâtiment dont la structure de verre tranche sur l'architecture baroque de l'an- cien monument, suscitant des avis également tranchés. Mandaté par l'ex-chancelier Kohl pour redonner vie à l'Arsenal qui jouxtait le château royal aujourd'hui disparu, sur l'avenue berlinoise Unter den Linden, l'architecte sino-américain Ieoh Ming Pei a conçu un bâtiment qui confirme sa répu- tation de maître de la lumière. Sur une base triangulaire, il a dessiné une façade de verre convexe qui rompt avec l'envi- ronnement rectiligne des cons- tructions alentour, de style baroque et néoclassique. Les effets de reflet et de transparen- ce sont encore accentués par un escalier en spirale externe enserré dans une cage de verre qui donne l'illusion d'un grand espace sur un terrain pourtant exigu.

Now the enemy is not as clearly defined but he is even more dangerous because they may come from anywhere and to create a system, a protective system, for this country requires a major effort to overhaul the system. To make it more efficient and to develop the human penetration factor as the main thrust against the adversaries.

STORYLINE:
Imagine a gun disguised as a silvery tube of lipstick, a camera hidden behind a coat button or a tree stump that's really an eavesdropping device.
Props for the next James Bond movie? Maybe.
They're also genuine tools of spy craft, used by real-life spooks around the world, and these devices and hundreds of other items go on display when the International Spy Museum in Washington D.C. opens to the general public on Friday (19 July).
Organisers say it's the first public museum in the United States dedicated to espionage, and the only one to provide a global perspective on an art form dating back to biblical times, when Moses assigned 12 Israelites to spy out the land of Canaan, promised to them by God.
Former spies who serve on the museum's advisory boards, including former FBI and CIA chief William Webster and retired KGB General Oleg Kalugin, helped gather more than one thousand spy tools from the United States and other countries, including Britain, East Germany and the Soviet Union.
Kalugin, a Russian spy, convicted Russia for revealing secrets about Russian agents in the U.S., was present on Tuesday at the museum's media preview.
Kalugin, who indicated that the gadgets were very realistic, also spoke about the global threat of terrorism.
He argued that the United States had to focus on human intelligence to be able to cope with terrorism.
Throughout the museum,where six hundred pieces will be displayed initially, visitors get quizzed on the details of a cover they're asked to adopt - name, age and reason for travel.
They can also create and break secret codes and test their ability to find examples of common surveillance, ordinary-looking spies or dead drops - prearranged locations where undercover operatives and their handlers exchange messages, money or the goods.
Of course, no spy museum would be complete without a nod to Agent 007.
This gallery has a replica of Bond's silver Aston Martin DB7 sports car from the movie Goldfinger.
In development since 1996, the 40 (M) million dollar complex encompasses five historic buildings and includes the museum, a restaurant, a cafe and a gift shop.

Berlin East Germany Museum - RTW Day 30 - Two Minute Travel
Somedays you have one of those awful starts. Kathryn and I had to do washing, but this needed to be tempered by the fact that there’s only eight hours of sunlight at the moment. However, we walked down the road 1.5km away with the weather hovering around zero degrees expecting to find a really average coin laundry when…
We stumbled upon the nicest waschsalon we could have seen! The idea of combining a laundromat and a cafe seems really novel, but on reflection, makes a lot of sense. You have to spend an hour or two while doing washing, why not have a coffee and a slice there, and turn it into a relaxing experience? The woman that served us was lovely, she looked after all the wash settings, and getting the laundry powder. And for two coffees, a hot chocolate, a full load of clothes washed and dried, was only 11.40 euros! That’s about $18!
We then decided to head out, so we stopped by a bakery to grab a pretzel when disaster struck. I had brought along a water bottle that decided to start leaking all throughout my bag. In the past I’ve carried cash and passports in my bag. Today, I was carrying one of those USB batteries, my beanie, gloves, and scarf. All saturated in blackberry-flavoured water. This did not please me. In fact, I was very annoyed. Kathryn was lovely and helped me to regroup.
We then made up a plan to head to a few places, the first of which was the Palace of Tears. This was where people from East Berlin crossed over into West Berlin, often leaving behind their friends and relatives, hence the name Palace of Tears. The whole concept of the East Germany seems bizarre now, but it was real, it was affecting people, and I was alive when it was still around in 1989. In fact, one day I think the idea of North and South Korea will seem weird to people, and people will be able to cross the border in much the same way people cross Berlin today.
Speaking of East Germany, we then headed to the DDR Museum. DDR stands normally for Dance Dance Revolution, a fun dancing game. In Germany, DDR stands for the German Democratic Republic, or East Germany. If you’ve ever watched V for Vendetta, imagine that was real, and that was East Germany. What a crazy place. Friends and family were turned into spies against each other. No one could buy the food they wanted, the state just couldn’t satisfy the will of the people. Which is a shame, because in some ways, everyone had a job, and if you didn’t stick your neck out, then life probably wasn’t so bad.
Finally, it was time to say our farewells to Berlin, as we’re catching a train at 7am tomorrow bound for Copenhagen. Oh yeah, so the weather has been around 0 degrees celsius. Matter of fact, the temperature won’t go above zero before we leave Berlin! Based on these facts, I ended up buying a Ski Jacket from a coffee store called Tchibo, for 70 euros! Weird that coffee shops sell Ski Jackets, and weirder that a really nice waterproof warm ski jacket was only $112 NZD. Germany, you surprise me constantly.

First Thoughts on Russia | We Spent 48 Hours in St Petersburg, Russia
After our insane Russian visa nightmare we are so glad to arrive here in St Petersburg...these are our first thoughts on the country.
Tour we are on in Russia with On the Go Tours:
We have 48 hours in St Petersburg so we are going to show you as much as possible to do in this incredible city which started off by working out the Metro systems...going to the deepest one in Russia - Admiralteyskaya station. It's so cost effective to use the Metro system, less than a $1 and there's no zones - jump on and just jump off when you are done.
Our first stop was obviously coffee, so we went to Pyshechnaya which is a cafe set up like an old soviet style restaurant where all they sell is cheap coffee and one style of donut.
Next up we headed to the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood which is a breathtaking church best described as a gingerbread house - and if you think outside looks stunning - wait till you go inside and see the 1000's of mosaics lining the walls.
To find the best views in St Petersburg we recommend you head to St Isaac's Cathedral.
If you are looking for some of the best museums in the world - head to the Hermitage Museum (the Winter Palace) and also head to Catherines Summer Palace - both very grand and opulent.
If you want to try some Russian food - we recommend Советское кафе Квартирка - which is an old soviet style restaurant set up like an old soviet home. Amazing food - we recommend you try
We Tried Russian Food in St Petersburg
- Vareniki (Potatoes & Mushroom dumpling)
- Cherry Vareniki
- Pirzhok Pie (cabbage and egg)
- Rasstegai Pie (fish)
- Napoleon Cake with Custard
- Ukrainian Cottage Cheese Pancake
and finally 2 end your 2 days in St Pettersburg - head on a river boat to see the best views around the city :)

Celebrating the East Building Twentieth-Century Art Series, Part 10: Post-World War II European Art
David Gariff, senior lecturer, National Gallery of Art.
In the years following the Second World War Europe was exhausted and slow to recover. Historians often speak about a shift in the art world's center of gravity from Paris to New York as the abstract expressionists claimed the spotlight. But the late 1940s and 1950s were a fertile, if troubled, time for art in Europe as well. While the Americans believed that they could start from scratch, inventing new techniques and subjects, the Europeans, who had experienced the horrors of war on their own soil, took a darker view of rebirth. The postwar school of Paris engaged raw materials through the art brut expressions of Jean Dubuffet and the thickly encrusted abstractions of Pierre Soulages and Nicholas de Stael. Jean Fautrier tested the conventional limits of painting by mixing powdered pigments, sand, and plaster to create abstract equivalents of the violent dissociation of body and spirit. The existential anxiety of the moment was perhaps best captured by the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti, who obsessively subtracted clay from his figures until they loomed up like monuments on the point of disappearance. As part of the series Celebrating the East Building: 20th-Century Art, senior lecturer David Gariff discusses European art and artists in the aftermath of the Second World War. This lecture was presented on August 16, 2018, at the National Gallery of Art.

We visited Berlin in the Fall when the weather was mostly overcast, which seemed to suit the city in a way. We explored a lot of Berlin's historical sites, and got a really good sense of how the city's tragic past has shaped it's progressive, unique, and highly artistic culture of today.
Video Locations:
Babelplatz
KulturBrauerei
Neue Kirche
East Side Gallery
Federal Ministry of Finance (East Germany mural)
Museum Island
Prenzlauer Berg
Brandenburg Gate
Schwules Museum
Berliner Dome
Tiergarten
We stayed in Prenzlauer Berg, which had a great selection of restaurants, pubs, and cafes. One of our favourite spots in the city was the KulturBrauerei, which is quite literally, a former brewery complex that has been converted to a space for art and culture. We went to the weekend food truck festival there, and had a delicious sampling of unique German and international foods. We would definitely recommend going to the museums in Berlin. Specifically the history museums, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Near the memorial is the Tiergarten, which we would recommend walking through. The architecture in Berlin is quite fascinating, as it tells stories of the different eras and political climates. We found a large socialist mural at the Ministry of Finance building, which was formerly the military headquarters for the nazi regime, and the Soviet Union. There is definitely a lot to see in Berlin, and we would highly recommend a trip!
