    Culture How a movie by Soviet director Vladimir Menshov conquered the WORLD
    On February 11, 1980, the premiere of the movie ‘Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears’ took place. However, the Soviet two-part movie about the fates of three girlfriends and the search for true love might not have appeared. After all, no one believed in the success of director Vladimir Menshov’s idea. But, in the end, his movie was shown at the Soviet box office for two straight years and among its foreign viewers was none other than U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
    Culture Why are Plato & Aristotle depicted in frescoes of the Annunciation Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin?
    One of the oldest Moscow churches was built in 1484-1489. Although Italian masters were working in the Kremlin at that time, architects from Pskov were invited for the Annunciation Cathedral. The grand ducal house church was home to particularly valuable items – icons and relics. The cathedral’s iconostasis is a real treasure: it contains icons of the 14th-15th centuries, masterpieces created by Andrei Rublev and Theophanes the Greek.
