Trinity Bridge is a bascule bridge across the Neva in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It connects Kamennoostrovsky Prospect with Suvorovskaya Square. It was the third permanent bridge across the Neva, built between 1897 and 1903 by the French firm Société de Construction des Batignolles.
Construction began on 12 August 1897. Félix Faure, the president of France was present at the ceremony. In the same political spirit, Nicholas II of Russia laid the foundation stone for the Pont Alexandre III in Paris, another memorial to the Franco-Russian Alliance.
The bridge's name refers to the Trinity Cathedral, which once stood by the river on the Petrograd Side. The name was changed to Bridge of Equality in 1918, and the Cathedral was destroyed soon after. In 1934, the bridge was renamed to honor Sergei Kirov, revolutionary and Bolshevik leader of Petrograd. The original name was only restored in 1999.

International Folk Music Festival Play, the accordion! named after Gennady Zavolokin [subtitled]
Gennadiy Dmitrievich Zavolokin – was born on 18 March in 1948 in the taiga village Parabel of the Tomsk region, then the family had
moved to the village of Suzun in Novosibirsk region. There, in the
Suzun, a father has bought first accordion for his young sons.
Later in one of his interviews, Gennadiy Zavolokin would say this words about his parents, Dmitry Zakharovich and Stepanida Elizarovna: From the childhood in front of us was a good example of good human relations, love for relatives, diligence in work, honoring the Law of God.
After school — the College years (1964 to 1968) studied at the Novosibirsk musical College in the Department of orchestra of Russian folk instruments.
Then he studied in the Moscow Institute of culture (1984). From 1974 to 1991 he worked in the Novosibirsk Philharmonic. Together with his brother Alexander he created the Duo of ditties-speakers. In 1986 Zavolokin brothers became Distinguished artists of the
Russia.
Since 1986 — leading the program Play, an accordion (the First national channel).
In 1987 he organized and headed the ensemble the Chastooshka and in 1992 Russian center Play, an accordion. For several years he was the author and host of the radio program This is a ringing miracle — ditty at the all-Union radio.
In 1990, Gennsdiy Zavolokin awarded the State prize of Russia For the concert programes.
In 1995 he was awarded the title of People's artist of the Russian Federation.
In 1998, the second State prize of Russia for a series of TV programs Play, an accordion.
In 1999 — award of the Union of writers of Russia Trumpeting Angel.
He is the author of about 700 songs, 7 collections of ditties, 5 editions of music, autobiographical book about the creation of the program Play, the accordion, various articles, essays, newspaper articles. In the period 1999-2001 he headed the illustrated magazine about folk art.
Died in a car accident on 8th of July, 2001 on the bridge over the river Sharap in Orda district of Novosibirsk region. He was buried on the Zaeltsovsky cemetery in Novosibirsk.
Through the efforts of friends and numerous fans of the Distinguished Artist of Russia, laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation – Gennadiy Zavolokin,
we made a decision to hold on the Siberian land regular (every two years) International Festival Play, the accordion , named after Gennadiy Zavolokin (2008).
On this this musical project huge creative resource of our country and abroad are gathered together.
Many artists, previously participated in the project say with certainty that the larger and more significant events, dedicated to folk art doesnt't exist in Russia today.
... The common people and their work is the main point of the festivals, conducted by the Russian Center Play, the accordion. Common people are the founders and creators of the modern Russian national culture, which creates the nationhood.
Zavolokin's festival has become truly international, in which take part and present their work not just Russian nuggets and musicians from the Kuril Islands to Kaliningrad, but, primarily, all of the the near abroad, as well as Germany, Israel, Austria, USA.
There is no ethnic boundaries, and religious and ethnic conflicts at the festival. All participants are united by love for folk art and homeland.
It is usually attended to hundreds of bands and singers, who total number is up to thousands of people. And what is typical, is that each performance of band or artist begins with songs about their love to the motherland. And this is not a requirement of the festival, it happens spontaneously. The festival has become a place where
ordinary people are free to declare about their love for the country and they make it truly and sincerely, idespite the difficulties of our time.
So one of the main conclusions of the past festivals near Novosibirsk is reasonably can be like this : people love their homeland with all their hearts , and the more difficulties the Fatherland has, the higher the degree of love raises.
It must me said that the festival is not folk, which generally tend to preserve and pass on the baton to younger generations how uncomplicated and undistorted the tradition of folk singing, dancing, language features. All of this take place in the festival
program, but the main content of the festival is about modern creativity of the people.
A feast of Axe and Russian ovens are held on the festival. More than that, many objects and festival grounds are created by the hands and the ability to accordionists, singers, dancers. Growing up each time with new objects and traditions, festival village of Zavolokin becoming more beautiful, more profound, it is a man-made monument to the creator of the program of Russian accordion, folk talent and creativity. This is another distinctive feature of this project: the material expression of folk music is playing here: in stone, in a tree, in the rising to the sun its krone orchard…

India Russia Friends for 70 Years
India-Russia: Friends for 70 Years
It was in Goa, India, that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi adopted a joint statement ‘partnership for global peace and stability’ and the ‘roadmap of events’ to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between India and Russia on April 13, 2017. And any celebration of 70 years of partnership does call for a review of ties between both countries. The relationship began in 1947 and it has come a very long way since then…
Broadly, there are three ways one can examine Russia-India ties.
• The first is simple – take the historical perspective. It is easy because both countries have enjoyed very warm and cordial ties for the past seventy years – if not more.
• The second is looking at these ties from the strategic point of view. The clubbing of India and Russia together as part of BRICS could be relevant here. It deals with security and economic interests.
• The third viewpoint combines the bit of both above. It is one which sees the emergence of ties between India and Russia as a geo-political necessity. It is this perspective that has begun occupying the minds of strategic thinkers in both countries.
Geo-political imperatives
The country with the largest land mass in the world is Russia. This country has lots of water too – it is reckoned to be the largest reservoir of freshwater deposits globally. But it has very few people. Its density of people per square km is one of the lowest in the world.
So, you have a Russia which is blessed with lots of fresh water, huge tracts of land, the largest reserves of gold underground, the largest reserves of oil and gas and many other mines. But much of this wealth remains untapped because (a) Russia does not have the required capital all thanks to sanctions imposed by the West and falling oil prices that have savagely dented its plans; (b) it does not have people.
Like most countries, Russia too does not view very kindly on the idea of borrowing people from China to work on its land. Next door workers can easily become squatters over a period of time. And countries with small populations and large land masses are usually wary about outsiders – fearful of demographic changes
This is where India comes in. Will Russia and India be able to work out a pack whereby it is assured of no claims on citizenship by Indian workers once they are allowed to work on Russian fields? Will Russia be willing to use India’s large workforce to exploit its mines? That is what both countries will have to work towards.
The potential is huge. And the first step in this direction has already been made in tie-ups between the two countries to exploit oil and gas reserves in Russia, and also to mine coal within that country (Tata Power has been identified to begin major coal mining operations in Eastern Russia).
Geo-politically, Russia and India are ideal partners – for business, security and other exchanges. The first moves towards the further strengthening of such relationships have just been made.
