11 Фев 2011, 05:49 I arrived here with my wife 5 years ago spending THE LAST copec for the tickets to Olkhon. Nikita's homestead opened its doors for us and we waited 2years until the money was found to build a house near the church where we live now. I am sure, money is a tool, not a goal. Often our goals may be reached without this financial instrument. For example, many people come over here hitch-hicking (autostopschiki)... |

12 Фев 2011, 04:56 When you will have arrived to Nikita's homestead, you will see that all speak English here (even those who don't know a few regular phrases that tourists like, for examble: yes, please; of course, please; sure; as you like; good-bye dear; welcome dear etc...) Hitch-hicking alone is difficult especially for a girl. However, I know a few cases when girls traveled hitch-hicking in small groups 2-5 persons. Have you thought of this option? |

13 Фев 2011, 09:45 Taganrog (a town in the Rostov region) Taganrog - a town in the Rostov region of Russia on the northeast coast of the Azov Sea. Toponym Taganrog found in documents of the XV century, first as a name landmarks in the form of Taigan: the Ust Miyusha and Taigan "," on Miyushe and Taigan "(1489). This simple form (without the element-horn) existed until the beginning of the XVIII century. Thus, in the charming letter "N. Ataman naked, associate Kondratii Bulavina (1708):" under the Azov and under Tugun. An anonymous treatise on the Ottoman Turkish fortress on the northern shore of the sea-dimensional, composed not later than the beginning of the second decade of the XVIII century, the fortress is mentioned Tygan (Tygan wheel) at bay at a distance of eight hours from the fortress Azak, "ie, of Azov. Arab toponym record can be read as Taigan and how Tygan. The first version of the reading was reflected in the quoted paper in 1489 - in the text of speeches ("memory") of Grand Prince Ivan Vasilyevich issued to him after Michure Domanove, which was sent to the Taman Prince Zachariah. Taigan and Tygan in the Russian language has changed in Tugun. The first part of the toponym Taganrog goes back to the Turkic word spider 'support for the boilers, tripod': in the old days at the Cape was a tower-lighthouse, which ignited the fire. Traces of it, seems to have survived on the plan of the fortress, which was attached to what is written in Latin in the diary IG Korb, a journey to Muscovy in 1698 (the period has already started construction of the fortress of Taganrog) as Secretary of the Embassy of the Emperor of Austria ( "tsesarya) Leopold I of Peter I. East of the three small fortresses that make up a single fortification at the base of the cape, on the side facing the of Azov, is awarded by the Turks built "stone tower surrounded with an earthen embankment" [1]. The Turks, as noted by Korb, called her Taganrog. Of course, in a speech Turkish toponym was used without the element-horn. At the top of the tower, apparently, stood on trivets cauldron in which fueled the lighthouse light. It is noteworthy that far from Tugun in 1702 at the mouth of the Don was built another lighthouse (considered the first in Russia), provide safe navigation of Russian fleet. Here was built a tower on top of a bonfire. And on the other lighthouses in Russia ("hills of stone and wooden towers) in the first half of XVIII century fanal in metal tripods, braziers maintained by burning wood and coal (in the 30 years of the XVIII century, such tripods, braziers stood in the Rostral Columns of St. Petersburg Port ). Remainder of the lighthouse (spider), who gave the name of the tract, and relates in his memoirs IG Korb. The second part of the toponym, the horn is a Russian folk geographical term meaning 'cape'. He is a member of a number of names: Goat Horn (Cape of the Valdai lake), the tract in the Crimea Kazanrog (XVII century), Mishurin Horn (a village on the banks of the Dnieper, situated on a high granite promontory), etc. In its present form placename Taganrog - Turkic-Slavic hybrid, but its complex composition is not realized in our time. In the written monuments of XVII - beginning of XVIII century both sides of it are often more inclined on their own: "to Tayganurogu," until Tayganurogu "(1642), etc. Frequent examples already complete fusion of its parts into a single word with a single case endings: "to Taganrog (1646)," in Taganrog (1698), "go to the Taganrog (1708), etc. The first part of names in this period is noted and with the soft end sound, as evidenced by the writing type: "to Togan horn", "y Taganrogu" (1698). The independence of both parts of the name indicates how their separate writing on maps and in documents of the time and write each of them with a capital letter or a hyphen. For example, the handwritten "topographical map of the Azov Sea to the mouths of the rivers Don ..." shows a line of fortifications stretching between the fortresses of the Pavlov (on the shore of the estuary Miusskaya) and Turtle (at the mouth of Turtle beams, which flows into the Sea of Azov), along which the applied Inscription: Taganov Rozhskaya line. The full title of this card both sides of the toponym Taganrog hyphenated: "... fortresses Semyonovskaya Tagan-horn, Pavlovsky, the Turtles ...». Taganrog in the XVII century called the marina and near the cape and the tract, uniting cape, harbor and settlement: "And they came, sir, we are at the pier to Taganrog ..." (From a military unsubscribe sea-march of the Cossacks on Crimeans in 1646); "on the tract trivets Horn" (1697), "Towards a tract Taganrog (1698). The town and fortress built in the tract of Taganrog, first got the name Trinity - on behalf of the cathedral, Trinity Church, built here in 1699. In the text titla card Schonebeck 1701 "The eastern part of Palus Meotis, now called the Sea of Azov" settlement and a fortress on the promontory called "city holy trinity." The documents of the end of XVII - beginning of XVIII century the city name (Trinity, Trinity) and Tracts (Taganrog) more often delineated. For example, in a petition to Peter I Trinity governor Yegor Janov (1699): "... that I have in the Holy Trinity in Taganrog, in the Chancery Chamber of them, the captain and the gunner and the sailors on the letter sheet no. Compare also: "about the Trinity that is built on the Tagan Rog" (1702), "in Trinity in Taganrog (1709)," in the Azov and in the Trinity, that of Taganrog (1710). Subsequently, the name of the tract of Taganrog replaces the name of the city (fortress). Direct reference to the fortress of Taganrog is already in the documents of the end of XVII - beginning of XVIII century: "to the city of Taganrog," (1697) "in the Azov and Taganrog (1697)," New Castel Azov (ie, strength), Taganrog, Pavlovsk and Mius ruin "(1700), but the parallel use of old (Trinity) and new (Taganrog) the names of the city survived the entire Petrine period. In the second half of XVIII century placename Taganrog ceases to be used as the name of the cape and the natural boundary, and becomes only the name of the city. And what is the origin of Olkhon? |

15 Фев 2011, 19:40 I read about the name of the island are divided: some believed that the translation "Olkhon" means "forest cover" someone "dry". Both of these names are quite suitable. Precipitation falls here is really very small - about 200 mm. per year. Olkhon surprisingly combines the most beautiful landscapes of the Baikal - steppe, the air is heavily saturated with scents of thyme and tarragon, jutting deep into dry bays, light pine and larch forests, relict spruce, covered with red lichen beautiful marble cliffs along the coast, areas of sand with dyunami.Na Olkhon many beautiful places, and each reveals his favorite. The island has a landing strip for small aircraft? |

16 Фев 2011, 06:00 yes, Olkhon has a landing strip for small aircraft. It is situated in the village of Kharansy 7kms away from Khujir where we are based near the small church consacrated in the name of the Icon DERJAVNAY... What else interesting have you learnt about the island through your sources? |

17 Фев 2011, 00:02 I read a lot about Olkhon, Here is some information The number of tourists opting for holiday destination Lake Baikal, is increasing every year. People come here not only from different cities of Russia, but also from many other countries. The main tourist attraction is undoubtedly the Olkhon, which will be discussed in this essay. Thousands of tourists visit the island annually. Thousands of foreigners are choosing Olkhon holiday destination. Olkhon attracts travelers with clean air, virgin nature and identity of local residents - bore - and, of course, the fact that he is in the midst of world famous Lake Baikal. Island tourists seem wild, even after electricity has been let down here a few years ago. Electrification has given additional impetus to the development of local tourism edges. How to get there. Path to Olkhon quite long. First you need to arrive in Irkutsk. You can do this as a flight, or using the services of the railway. From Irkutsk to the island go to taxis and buses. Drive about five hours. During this time, passengers can enjoy not very scenic, but extremely peculiar landscape: the endless steppes and vague, vague outlines of the mountains in the distance. Since Olkhon is not connected to the mainland, it will be, and crossing on the ferry - the process is very fascinating. Nice fresh breeze blowing in his face, crystal clear water of Lake Baikal overboard and the best view of the Olkhon Gate - the strait separating the open Baikal from the Small Sea. At the entrance to the island introduced fees. Local authorities collect money for the beautification of the island, debris removal and other purposes. Infrastructure Olkhon is only one major settlement - a settlement Khuzhir. But its population does not exceed a few thousand people. It is in Khuzhir located quite a number of different mini-hotels, inns and resorts. In addition, local residents willing to rent housing to rent for any period. In Khuzhir are several shops, where you can buy food and some household supplies. In other localities, such as village Kharantsy also has one, rarely two stores. They represent such things supermarkets with an area of the room. Interspersed with basic food items are on shelves and home accessories. In general, the island is not wild, and, if necessary, you can purchase all necessary goods. Baikal Lake Baikal - the clearest and deepest lakes in the world, and which is perched on its water expanse Olkhon. Probably every citizen of the planet wants to plunge into the cool, crystalline water of this wonderful lake. Arriving at the Olkhon travelers the opportunity provided. Of course, that Baikal attracts here is the number of tourists. The western part of the island, long popular among visitors, is perfect for swimming. The water in the bays warm up to relatively high temperatures. The beach near the village of Khuzhir, as in many other sandy bays. This is a great place for sunbathing, beach activities and fun games, swimming. The water of Lake Baikal is considered to be curative. Buryats revered lake as a kind of deity. And not far from Khuzhir is a salt lake, which seeks to visit each arrived on Olkhon. Olkhon can talk about endlessly. Not for nothing that the island enjoys great popularity among not only Russian tourists, but also among foreign travelers. Starry sky, crystal water, unimaginably beautiful sunsets, endless starry sky and the Baikal fresh breeze awakened in each of us may have forgotten a romantic mood. |

17 Фев 2011, 00:06 ...For a information on the landing strip for small aircraftthanks.Have an idea to get to the island by air ...Hitchhiking is not my kind of travel, very long on time ... and it is not safe ... |
| Администратор |
17 Фев 2011, 05:15 What an enrichment in our knowledge about the island. Thank you, Viktoria, for your research! The idea to come here by air sounds GREAT. Kharantsy airport will finally see its visitor returning to the island by the shortest and most remarkable way! We should only chase away the cows that wander around the landing strip all day long, otherwise the plane will have to water on the surfice of the lake or search for a different strip to land... Hitckhiking aircraft has not yet become a habbit, but Viktoria may become the first AIRstopstchitsa in histrory! Worth trying... |

If I happen to see a UFO - it's a sign that VIKTORIA has arrived! :-) |

19 Фев 2011, 02:13 Glad that my post has raised your spirits. Very good way to attract tourists, think Victoria UFO on the expense of small aircraft, I seriously said. Зря смеетесь.... |

19 Фев 2011, 05:24 Our spirits are daily raised by the regular bells ringing! They have been brought here from ULAN-UDE, where the orthodoxe temple of Christ's Ascention wanted to sell the rural bells colletions (they had a much bigger bell-tower for these small bells). We asked the batushka to give us the bells and, with time, having collected the necessary budget, payed them off. Now, we can't imagine our daily life without this regular excercise which chase the bad moods and UFOs far away from here. Therefore, I am afraid, while the bells keep ringing on OLKHON island, the UFOs will fly in people's minds away from OLKHON. BUT we can think of Victoria UFO as "Ujut For Oligarchs" to attract the budget for the small aircraft as well as for the OLKHON-Sheremetevo airport! Ah? |

19 Фев 2011, 13:51 There used to be a regular air connection between Irkutsk and Olkhon island. It was truely helpful in terms of saving time and avoiding lines before the ferry. Nowadays ferries (there are two of them circulation between the continent and the island) can't help all the cars to be transported from one bank to the other. Airtransportation is OLKHON's FUTURE!

29 Мар 2011, 14:36 We are right in the center of the lake Baikal where there are more than 300 sunny days a year. We haven't chosen this place for the church. A widow, Natalia, has seen a dream where Bogoroditsa (Mother Mary) appeared in a vision with advice to found a temple on this baikalian island Olkhon. Natalia came here in the year 2000 and started to look around for the right place to found a church. Since then the church is developing with God's help and people's attention. May all, who have contributed into the construction and maintenance or this church DERJAVNAYA on Olkhon, be well and live in Peace. Сергей Еремеев  Создайте свою визитку |

06 Апр 2011, 05:22 On the meaning of the THEOTOKOS Fr Paul Harrilchak St. John of Damascus (+749 A.D.) On the meaning of the THEOTOKOS (Bohorodica/Nascatoare de Dumnezeu) [NOTE: This term gives expression to the Incarnation of the Word and the deification of man in terms of the wondrous maternity of the Virgin Mary. Our liturgical publications show there in consensus among the Orthodox in this country - OCA, Greek, Syrian - that the word Theotokos be brought into the English language, and not be translated as "Mother of God" or the somewhat cacophonous "Birth-giver of God." Theotokos: from Greek theos, God+ tokos, bearer (from tiktein, bear, beget)....] «And we proclaim the holy Virgin to be properly and truly Theotokos. For, as he who was born of her is true God, so is she truly Theotokos who gave birth to the true God who took flesh from her. «Now, we do not say that God was born of her in the sense that the divinity of the Word has its beginning of being from her, but in the sense that God the Word himself, who was timelessly begotten of the Father before the ages…did in last days come for our salvation to dwell in her womb and of her was, without undergoing change, made flesh and born. Fro the holy Virgin did not give birth to a mere man but to true God, and not to God simply, but God made flesh…. «Hence, it is rightly and truly that we call holy Mary Theotokos, for this name expresses the entire mystery of the Incarnation. Thus, if she who gave birth is Theotokos, then he who was born of her is definitely God and also definitely man. …And this means that our Lord Jesus Christ has one person, two natures, and two begettings. «In this the Theotokos, in a manner surpassing the course of nature, made it possible for the Fashioner to be fashioned and for the God and Creator of the universe to become man and deify the human nature which he had assumed….» The Orthodox Faith, 56. Adapted from «The fathers of the Church» From the book «The Divine Liturgy of the Great Church» by Fr. Paul Harrilchak, Reston, Virginia. 1984. page 7.

10 Апр 2011, 11:47 «Христос, – говорит св. Августин, – истинный молящийся Псалмов» CHRIST, ACCORDING TO ST.AUGUSTIN, IS THE ONE WHO TRULY PRAYS THROUGH PSALMS. This is our Olkhon translation of what said St.Augustin. We also like the following article on the abovementioned site: Articles in English Why the Incarnation? Василий (Осборн), еп. Амфипольский / Bishop Basil of Amphipolis Sermon preached by Bishop Basil of Amphipolis at the church of the Holy Trinity and the Annunciation, Oxford (the church is shared by a Thyateira parish which follows the New Calendar, and a Vicariate parish which follows the Old Calendar). Ephesians 4: 7-13 Every year, because we keep two calendars in this church, the feasts of Christmas and Theophany, or Epiphany, are somehow meshed together: we celebrate one after the other and one before the other. But it is important to remember that this overlap is not out of place. Epiphany is the earlier feast. It is already mentioned at the beginning of the third century, when Clement of Alexandria refers to its being celebrated at about this time of year, and by the fourth century there are, throughout the Church, basically three major feasts. First, of course, there is Easter, then Pentecost, celebrated automatically fifty days after Easter, and then the Feast of Theophany, celebrated in the winter, celebrated to commemorate the Baptism of Christ, and the appearance of Christ to the world. Christmas as a distinct feast developed later, and it developed in the West. The first mention is, in fact, near the beginning of the fourth century in 336, when in Rome 25th December was celebrated as the birthday of Christ. In the West, in the liturgical calendar, there was a gradual shift of emphasis from Theophany, from Epiphany, to Christmas. The feast of Epiphany on the twelfth day after Christmas is kept as a revelation to the gentiles, who are represented in the West by the Magi, and the coming of the Magi on the twelfth day. In fact there was, apparently, no separate Christmas day in Jerusalem until the sixth century. The two feasts were kept together on 6th January. And the same is true today of the Armenians, who base their calendar on the calendar of Jerusalem. Both these feasts are feasts of revelation. The feast of the Baptism of Christ is a revelation of the Trinitarian nature of God and of the anointing of the Son of God with the Spirit. And of course the feast of Christmas commemorates in a particular way the Incarnation of Christ. It commemorates the way in which God has entered the world, the way we now find, in Christ, God in the flesh. Immediately that raises the question, why should this be the case? Why should God seek to reveal himself through incarnation? Are there not other ways of doing this? In Ephesians, in the epistle reading which we heard this morning, two reasons are given – two attempts to understand what is happening in the Incarnation and coming of Christ. In the first part, St Paul speaks of the ascent of the Son of God in order to give gifts to mankind. These gifts which Christ ascends in order to give us are the gifts of the Spirit: they are the various charisms. And they are given in order that some, as a result of these gifts, should become apostles, some should become prophets, others evangelists, others pastors and teachers – but all these gifts are given for the ‘building up of the Body of Christ’. That is their purpose. It is for that reason that Christ has come into the world, conquered death, ascended to heaven and gave these gifts – at Pentecost and afterwards. St Paul goes on, however, in the same short passage, to say that this is done – all these gifts are given – for yet another, further purpose. They are given that me might all ‘come to the unity of the faith and to the knowledge of the Son of God’ – to ‘mature manhood’ as it says in the Revised Standard Version, or ‘to maturity’ as it says in the New Revised Standard Version. They are given that we should come ‘to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ’. This is the ultimate purpose of God’s Incarnation – that we should reach that stature. The Authorised version, where the NRSV says ‘that we may come to maturity’, says that ‘we may come unto a perfect man’. Now that is not quite the same thing, because we immediately ask ourselves, when we hear the phrase, ‘to come unto a perfect man’, to whom does this expression refer? Is it that each one of us should arrive at the full stature of Christ, to ‘that perfect Man’, or is it that we together should arrive at the full stature of Christ. I think that the second interpretation is a deeper and truer one. Yes, we are all called to completeness – but we are called to that completeness not simply one by one, but together. In the last days we shall all be different from one another. We shall all have, and have received, different gifts, and as a result we shall all be playing different roles – we have different roles to fulfil. But together, in our difference, we shall make up the one Body of Christ. The result of that is that we do not have to worry about being different. This is in fact God’s will for us. What we do have worry about is finding our own true place in the Body of Christ. As the Apostle says, this will depend on our gifts – which are not ours in the long run, but are in fact God’s gifts and belong to God. These gifts, especially when they are taken to include everything that we are, including our own existence, create difference. They create otherness. And it is our task to work with God to create oneness in Christ out of that diversity, since we are all, each one of us, the recipients of a place, and of a role to play, in the one Body of Christ – a Body made up of many different members. In fact the ‘building up of the Body of Christ’ is not possible without us. It is not possible unless we – both as individuals and as a community – are in Christ – the one Son and Word of God. Amen.

25 Апр 2011, 16:54 S Prazdnikom! Dale Kiehl Кому Sergei Eremeev <yeremeev@hotmail.com> Когда Дополнительно 25 апреля 2011 в 17:12 My Own Dear Sergey, Anastasia and Children, Hristos Voskrese!!! Christos Anesti!! Christe Agsdga (po Gruzinskiy)!!!! Christ is Risen!!! I greet you with the joyous news of Christ's Holy Resurrection!!! How are you my dearest friends? How did you pass Great Lent and meet Our Lord's Great Pascha on your far-off island of Olkhon? I have made many good Orthodox friends in my short time here in Georgia, but never forget you and always pray for you and your health. I spent a good Holy Week attending many services here in the churches in Tbilisi. Such a great and strong Orthodox faith is growing here in Georgia, you would not believe it! All of the services were so crowded that huge crowds of people had to stand outside -- many times for 6 or 7 hours in rain and cold with no room to even cross themselves. All churches were full, but I managed, Thank God, to take confession and communion twice and receive Holy Unction (Saborovanie). I met Pascha in the ancient monastery church of Dmanisi (6th century) where one young priestmonk -- Fr, Dionisey -- serves for hundreds of people in many small villages. It was amazing and a beautiful service in Georgian with polyphonic singing. Please write and tell me of your life on Olkhon and how your children are doing now. I miss you so much and it would be my deepest desire to see you once again, God willing. The distance is great and I don't have much free time. I would wish to have you visit me. I have a huge flat with many, many rooms for everyone, but then ... this is just my dream!!! I ask the rich blessings of our Risen Jesus Christ on all of us and you for all health, especially spiritual. Once again I close with the news that "Christ is Risen!" I wish you all the protection of your guardian angels! S Bogom, Iosif Sergey wrote: Our dearest Iosifoushka! Such a great peice of news to get your letter full of blessing for us. He is risen indeed our God Jesus Christ!!! We have celebrated the first night liturgy in history of the Olkhon church (by the way, there is an excellent book that we found in English about this region and the Olkhon island as it was in the beginning of the 29th century http://www.bogoroditsa-olkhon.prihod.ru/legendscat/view/id/12534 ). There were not polyphonic chanting but only my and one woman from the village who chanted while one priest was celebrated the Holy Liturgy in presence of 30 people from the village. Anastacia is in Irkutst waiting when our second child, Ljubania, will appear to see the light of this world (we expect the birth delivery to happen around the 6th of May). It's a pity you are so busy not to be able to come over here and see your children's life on an isolated piece of land that resembles so much the Holy Mount of Athos. Pls, despite your business have in mind that we always, regardless "war and peace" between Russia&Georgia, are happy to see you in our small hut near the only Russian church in Olkhon island in Baikal's center. With Love in Christ, yours faithfully, -- Сергей Еремеев +79149475379 ICQ: 615737768 МИЛОСТИ ПРОСИМ на славное море - священный Байкал! http://www.bogoroditsa-olkhon.prihod.ru/ WELCOME TO THE MYSTICAL OLKHON ISLAND - CENTER OF BAIKAL LAKE!

Hello Sergey, My name is Dan and I am about to start my big adventure visiting Asia for the first time on the trans-siberian train. A bit about me: I work as a tour guide with Israeli tourists in South America, and now when it's winter over there and the tourism season is over, I decided to take a trip by myself, and chose to fulfill an old dream - the trans-siberian train! I am currently in Moscow (studying a bit of Russian), and leaving tonight 25/6 to Tomsk, and after a few days will take a train to Irkutsk, where I would also like to visit the island. You seem like a really interesting and nice person - I Hope I can meet you and stay with you when I come! Dan |

01 Июл 2011, 17:06 - 8:33 am Hi Sergey! How are you? I’m Bent from Belgium, Antwerp and this summer in July and August I’m going to do the Trans-Siberian railroad and take train or bus further to Mongolia, China and Japan, with a really good friend of mine, Bram Van Houtte (see my friends), for the trip of our lives. Our first stop is Riga (we’re landing the 3rd of July),from there we’re taking the train to St. Petersburg, Moscow, and so on... (we have not prepared anything, no reservations, tickets so we have to do it on the spot) Between the 17th and 19th we're visiting Baikal Lake and because we're travelling a lot based on couchsurfing, this spot really seems nice to camp, stay the night, couchsurf or just find our peace and learn some new things. We saw your profile, the photos in Olkhon and it looks amazing! We're really looking forward to visit and learn about the olkhon culture. The people look very friendly and interesting, so we certainly want to take part of keeping up the spirit. I’m a musician, play the guitar. My friend Bram plays the guitar as well and is sound engineer for a Belgian band. I'm studying at the school of visual arts in Antwerp. Painting is a really important part of my life, and the island would be so perfect to make drawings, sketches,... Really looking forward to meet you. We don’t want to do extremely tourist things. We just want to have fun on a different way and it would be great in combination with you and your stories! Anyway, we arrive at Lake Baikal around the 17th of July and will probably stay for 2 days, but this is flexible as we're travelling by train. Bram and I were wondering if you have a couch, floor to sleep on or a place outside for our tent? Really looking forward to your answer. Thanks a lot in advance and all the best, Bent and Bram |

23 Июл 2011, 00:18 привет из Польши Hello Sergey OLKHON! There are 3 of us coming to Pribaykalye this summer. We are going to travel by Transiberian train to Ulan Ude at first (coming on 3rd of August) and than going back to Moscow from Irkutsk on the 18th of August. The 2 weeks inbetween we want to spend somewhere around the Baikal Lake. We thought of visiting Olkhon Island as well, but as we will be traveling unplanned it is hard to say on what day exactly we will arrive. But anyway do you think it will be possible to visit you? We have got our own tents, mattresses and sleeping bags so we won't need much:) If it is not a problem for you could you be so kind to give us your address so we can find you on Olkhon? Of course we are coming on our risk - I imagine it is hard for you to say if you will have space for us if we are not providing you with any date. Thanks in advance for your answer. I wish you all the best. Cheers, Zuzia OLKHON OLKHON OLKHON |

25 Июл 2011, 16:42 Ch?re famille, chers amis, Voici 10 jours que j'ai atterri sur cette d'Am?rique. Apr?s les beaut?s classiques et baroques de Saint-P?tersbourg me voici dans la ville qui aura inspir? tant d'architectes du XXe si?cle ! L'arriv?e lundi 11 Juillet fut sans probl?mes si ce n'est la longue attente pour le passage devant la police aux fronti?res, et aussi par ce que nous avions atterri apr?s un vol en provenance de la Chine, les formalit?s dans ce cas ?tant toujours plus longues ! La sortie de l'a?roport vers le Centre-ville fut une promesse d'un ?t? chaud ! Une chaleur ?crasante nous attendait ? la sortie, une humidit? tr?s lourde la rendait encore moins supportable, serait-ce tout l'?t? ainsi ? N'ayant pas beaucoup chang? le contenu de ma valise entre Saint-P?tersbourg et New-York je me voyais d?j? cuire ? petit feu dans les seuls pantalons que j'avais apport? et me pr?cipiterai acheter des shorts (culottes courtes en Fran?ais n'est-ce pas ?). J'arrivais dans Manhattan dans l'appartement de ma cousine S?verine expatri?e ici, partie pour quelques jours en voyage d'affaire. Tr?s bel appartement dans un quartier calme de Manhattan, les maisons y sont basses, ressemblant ? celles des quartiers de Westminster ? Londres. Les frises des corniches des maisons sont dans un style n?o-grec, typiques ? NY ? la fin du XIXe si?cle. Au Nord, le quartier vertical de Mid Town o? se situent les deux beaux gratte-ciel de l'Empire State Building et surtout le tr?s beau Chrysler Building, avec ses aigles chrom?s aux corniches, comme des gargouilles mena?ants, et sa tr?s fine fl?che que l'on reconna?t dans tout NY. Ces deux tours restent parmi les plus hautes de NY quand bien m?me elles furent achev?es repesctivement en 1931 et 1930, devenant ? l'?poque les plus hauts b?timents du monde (la Tour Eiffel est un monument) ! Et au Sud le quartier financier de Wall Street tout aussi vertigineux, au bord de la baie, d'o? partent les bateaux vers Ellis Island, et toutes les ?les qui entourent la grande ?le de Manhattan. Les quartiesr entre les deux sont constitu?s de petites maisons car il est impossible de construire des tours pour des raisons g?ologiques. Le mardi matin je commen?ais ma premi?re journ?e de stage. J'ai ?t? pris pour 2 mois et 3 semaines au sein de l'organisation "Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute", ou C-FAM. Le bureau est dans Mid-Town, au pied du Chrysler Building, il est spacieux et nous sommes neuf ? y travailler dont 4 stagaires : Cristina, une jeune Mexicaine et son amie Catherine de Phoenix en Arizona (4e ville du pays), ville dans laquelle elles ont particip? ? une pr?paration juridique et une formation organis?e par une union de mouvements pro-vie am?ricains, protestants et catholiques r?unis, appel?s Blackstone, du nom du c?l?bre juriste Anglais de la deuxi?me moiti? du XVIIIe si?cle. Les jeunes participants ? cette formation sont ensuite envoy?s dans tous les coins des EU mais aussi ? Rome, en Afrique du Sud, soit dans des institutions internationales soit dans des cabinets juridiques de d?fense de la vie. Avec ces deux stagiaires je suis rentr? directement dans le monde des Pro-Vie am?ricains et mexicains, organis?s et tr?s effectifs. En effet, depuis une dizaine d'ann?es, ces mouvements ont r?ussi ? faire fermer plus de la moiti? des centres d'avortement sur le territoire des EU, diminuant par l? le nombre d'avortements dans le pays, qui reste encore l?g?rement sup?rieur proportionnellement ? la France (1,2 millions d'avortements par an aux EU, pour 220 000 en France, avec une population presque 5 fois sup?rieure). Le troisi?me stagiaire Daniel est un jeune afro-am?ricain de Brooklyn qui se destine ? entrer au s?minaire en septembre. L'?quipe est constitu?e encore de Amanda, am?ricaine d'origine polonaise, Florenzia, une Argentine ayant v?cu longtemps et ?tudi? le droit aux EU, elle ?tudie l'action des Nations-Unies dans certains pays d'Am?rique Latine (en ce moment le Costa Rica), o? les agences de l'organisation internationale tentent d'imposer une nouvelle l?gislation aux pays, sur la question du mariage homosexuel, de l'avortement, de la th?orie du gender..., les mena?ant dans le cas contraire de ne plus leur verser les aides financi?res de l'ONU. C'est du beau, quel respect de la souverainet? ! Puis la direction, Lauren, Samantha (d'origine philippine, un des rares pays d'Asie qui refusent jusqu'? ce jour de l?galiser l'avortement et ayant une bonne natalit? et un renouvellement contrairement ? beaucoup de ses voisins, en effet plus de la moiti? des pays dans le monde sont en dessous de leur niveau de renouvellement naturel, qui varie de 2,1 ? 2,5 selon le niveau de d?veloppement du pays, et ce contrairement ? ce que disent haut et fort les ?cologistes dans le monde...) Et enfin Terrence, le directeur de notre bureau, juriste et excellent connaisseur de tous les probl?mes et des id?es que notre organisation tentent de d?faire. Nous pr?parons en ce moment la Conf?rence sur la Jeunesse, qui aura lieu ? l'ONU la semaine qui vient, et organisons des ?v?nements en marge pour informer les jeunes new-yorkais des enjeux d'une telle conf?rence. Au programme, concerts (un groupe de rock irlandais "Scythian") , conf?rences, d?bats, rencontres... Ma mission dans l'organisation est de r?diger d'ici mi-ao?t un papier sur la d?mographie russe, l'?tat d?mographique du pays, ses effets sur l'?conomie, sa position g?opolitique, ainsi que les politiques publiques mises en place depuis plusieurs ann?es par l'Etat russe et ses effets. En effet, C-FAM depuis quelques temps se rapprochent de la mission russe aupr?s de l'ONU, connaissant les effets d?sastreux qu'a eu l'avortement en Russie depuis la r?volution d'Octobre, ?tant autoris? et recommand? pour "la lib?ration de la femme de la servitude de la famille" selon les mots de L?nine. Beau programme ! Ainsi apr?s 90 ans de pratique de l'avortement, le pays rencontre des difficult?s consid?rables, malgr? l'acc?s ? des prix abordables ? la contraception (m?me chose en France, pays dans lequel la contraception est la plus r?pandue), ? augmenter le nombre de naissances, malgr? une aide consid?rable offerte par le gouvernement russe (8000 euros) aux familles ayant un enfant. Il semble ? pr?sent que le d?sir d'un enfant en Russie, soit moins pour des raisons ?conomiques que pour des raisons sociologiques (influence des id?es europ?ennes) et m?dicales (de nombreuses femmes deviennent st?riles apr?s un ou plusieurs avortements, ce nombre augmentant de 13% chaque ann?e en Russie ). Ainsi la Russie commence ? changer de position au sein des institutions de l'ONU, elle qui quand l'URSS existait encore, ?tait un ardent d?fenseur de l'avortement. Vous avez l? en substance le d?but de mes recherches sur le travail ? rendre ! Il devrait ?tre publi? courant ao?t dans la lettre d'information de C-FAM, le Friday Fax, paraissant tous les vendredis sur leur site, www.c-fam.org Tous sont tr?s sympathiques et disponibles quand nous avons des questions. Ils sont de bon conseil pour mes recherches. Le soir m?me, on me proposa de me rendre ? des d?bats-discussions sur l'amour et la responsabilit?, organis?s par un jeune Australien qui avait lanc? ce projet dans son pays et qui maintenant le mettait en route ? NY. Beaucup de jeunes catholiques (mais pas seulement, certains protestants, ath?es ou agnostiques viennent y participer, conduits pas leur "fianc?" ou int?ress?s par leur sujet, j'ai compris ainsi combien la soci?t? am?ricaine n'est pas aussi fragment?e qu'elle ne l'est en tout cas en France). La discussion s'appuyait sur un livre d'un jeune am?ricain, commentant l'encyclique sur ce th?me de Jean-Paul II. Tr?s int?ressant soir?e, pendant laquelle les hommes de mon groupe (les groupes ?taient non-mixtes) se livraient sinc?rement, racontaient leur exp?rience personnelle, sans vulgarit?. L'Eglise catholique est tr?s dynamique ? NY, elle est la plus grande communaut?, gr?ce aux descendants Irlandais, Italiens, et maintenant avec l'arriv?e de nouveaux immigrants d'Am?rique Latine (d'ailleurs beaucoup de pubs, de services t?l?phoniques... sont dans les deux langues). On ne comte plus les publications chr?tiennes, les ?glises remplies de fid?les, les Universit?s catholiques, de premier ou de second niveau... Sinon la vie ? NY est tr?s sympathique, c'est un rythme assez fou dans lequel beaucoup de jeunes de tous les Etats-Unis viennent prendre la mesure, esp?rant grimper dans leur carri?re, les jeunes hommes, beaucoup dans la banque habitent Brooklyn ou le Queens quand les jeunes femmes c?libataires pr?f?rent habiter Manhattan, plus proche de la vie culturelle, des sorties, ce qui fait que l'?le est habit?e ? 70% par des femmes ! Dans les faits, il y a beaucoup de c?libataires ? NY, par rapport ? la moyenne am?ricaine, et beaucoup ne d?sirent pas y vivre plus tard. C'est selon eux, un excellent moyen pour commencer, ils ont du temps, de l'?nergie mais d?s qu'ils trouvent une bonne opportunit? autre part ils quittent la ville. Beaucoup d'Europ?ens reviennent et beaucoup de talentueux asiatiques arrivent, notamment dans les fili?res scientifiques, mais pas seulement. La ville de NY compte, sans la banlieue, 8,5 millions d'habitants dont 3,5 seulement sur Manhattan, ?le longue de 21 km sur 3km de large. Vendredi apr?s-midi, Terrence nous a emmen? visiter les Nations-Unies, int?rieur ann?es 70 un peu cramoisi (!), et un pendule (symbole ma?onnique comme dans le Panth?on ? Paris au milieu de la coupole) suit sa course math?matique... Une salle de "m?ditation" trouve place dans le hall, dans le style de celles des a?roports... Quel haut lieu de spiritualit? ! Un peu comme les minutes de silence au lieu des minutes de pri?re dans les obs?ques nationales... Nous sommes mont?s avec Catherine et Cristina en haut de l'Empire State building pour la modique somme de... 22$ !!! L'arriv?e au 86e ?tages est impressionnante, cela ne prend que quelques secondes, puis une superbe vue, au-dessus de tous les gratte-ciel aux alentours, sur toute la p?riph?rie de NYC, les Etats qui bordent la ville, New-Jersey, Connecticut et Etat de NY. L'Hudson river l'East river qui viennent bien d?limiter la perspective, le grand rectangle vert au Nord de Central Park, ?lot de calme et de verdure au sein de la tumultueuse ville. Cette escapade nous aura tout de m?me permis de rep?rer quelques terrasses sur les toits des gratte-ciel. Nous nous sommes rendus sur l'une d'elle, qui offre une vue interm?diaire entre celle de la rue et du haut de l'Empire State. A moiti? dans l'air, au milieu des buildings offrant une multitude de tons dans la couleur de leur paroi vitr?e, lieu assez jet-set o? le plus simple gin-tonic co?te 12$ et o? l'on r?serve longtemps ? l'avance pour pouvoir s'y asseoir et ?tre vu avec ses amis ? l'une des tables de la terrasse. Il y a d'autres terrasses de ce type qui se transforment en club la nuit tomb?e et certaines ont une piscine perch?e au 70e ?tage... Le samedi, premier week-end, nous sommes all?s sur Governor Island, les bateaux pour Ellis Island, ?le par laquelle passaient tous les immigrants du NE des EU, arrivant d'Europe en paquebots, ? partir de la fin du XIXe si?cle. Il ya para?t-il un tr?s int?ressant mus?e qui raconte cette aventure qu'ont v?cu tant d'anc?tres des am?ricains. L'?le des Gouverneurs est sympathique bien que petite, un bateau emm?ne gratuitement les promeneurs, emporter un v?lo vous co?te quelques dollars, elle offre une superbe vue du Sud de Manhattan et de la statue de la Libert?. Puis nous sommes partis pour Brooklyn, traversant ? pied le pont du m?me nom et qui lui offre une vue sur toute l'?le de Manhattan, cette fois de l'Est, le pont formant comme un axe sym?trique entre les 2 quartiers de tours, au Sud, et au Centre-Nord. Tr?s belle balade. Le soir j'ai visit? la cath?drale Saint-Patrick, tr?s bel ?difice n?o-gothique entour? de hauts immeubles et sis en face du Rockefeller Center. Il fut construit gr?ce ? la fortune du milliardaire protestant am?ricain du p?trole, n'appr?ciant pas beaucoup les catholiques. Sur la minuscule place de ce centre culturel faisant face au portail de la cath?drale a ?t? inaugur? une statue d'un homme portant le globe sur ses ?paules, tel un atlante, dont la seule volont? et les capacit?s permettent de dominer le monde. En r?ponse ? cela, dans le d?ambulatoire de la cath?drale, donc exactement en face de la statue est pr?sent?e une ic?ne de la Vierge tenant l'enfant J?sus, tenant le monde dans sa main ! Quelle belle r?ponse ? l'orgueil humain n'est-ce pas ? Le lendemain ma cousine S?verine me proposa de partir aux aurores avec ses amis Fran?ais sur une des plus longues plages de la r?gion de NY, la Fire Island longue de 48 km et large d'un km. La partie o? nous ?tions ne devait pas mesurer plus de 300m ! L'oc?an Atlantique enfin ! Une eau tr?s bonne et assez sal?e, et une douce brise venait alt?rer le cagnard (35-36 degr?s Celsius), on ne le sentait quasiment pas. Les amis de S?verine sont aux EU depuis bien longtemps, l'un depuis 9 ans, travaillant comme chercheur chez Phillips, l'autre ayant mont? sa bo?te et ?tant l? depuis 17 ans ! Tous deux, ?ternels c?libataires et s’accommodant pas trop mal du syst?me de dating bien que le regrettant au fond. A New-York il est presque normal de rencontrer plusieurs personnes en m?me temps, d'avoir en fait plusieurs relations tant que les choses ne sont pas d?finies. Ils nous disaient combien leur surprise fut grande quand ils r?alis?rent qu'ils n'?taient pas le seul que leur ch?ri rencontrait ! Ils nous racontaient combien les jeunes Fran?aises ? New-York n'arrivent pas ? s'y faire, n'?tant pas "exclusives" dans leur relation avec les Am?ricains (n'?tant qu'une parmi d'autres) sans que cela ?tonnent ces m?mes Am?ricains. Elles ne trouvent pas leur moiti? et souvent d?cident, entre autres raisons, de rentrer en France. N?anmoins, ce "dating" ? la new-yorkaise diff?re beaucoup du reste des EU, qui l? sont en principes des relations exclusives, rencontres de deux jeunes qui sont int?ress?s l'un par l'autre, qui n'ont pas certains amis en commun, mais qui veulent d'abord mieux se conna?tre avant de commencer toute relation plus personnelle. Int?ressant principe. Quelle surprise quand nous nous pr?parions ? partir faire une longue balade que nous ?tions enti?rement cram?s, la cr?me solaire imparfaitement appliqu?e, et partie avec l'eau de mer, nous ?tions couverts d'immenses br?lures sur les mollets, le dos pour moi et derri?re les genoux ! ? semaine de souffrance pour tous ! Le mardi suivant ?tait organis? dans la salle de basketball de la paroisse Old Saint-Patrick une conf?rence sur le mariage donn?e par un des meilleurs professeurs de jurisprudence des EU, le professeur George de l'Universit? Princeton accompagn? de deux ?tudiants de doctorat en Philosophie et de Sciences-Politiques. Elle ?tait organis?e apr?s le vote par le parlement de l'Etat de NY de la reconnaissance du mariage homosexuel quelques temps auparavant. Tr?s int?ressante conf?rence, o? les jeunes pr?sents ont pu poser beaucoup de questions. Toutes ces rencontres catholiques me montrent un aspect du parti R?publicain, car bien entendu, selon eux il n'y a que ce parti qui d?fend leurs id?es. Et fait tr?s int?ressant, ils n'ont pas peur du tout de se pr?senter comme conservateurs. Jeudi soir ?tait organis?e une soir?e de juristes catholiques. Elle avait lieu dans les bureaux d'un magazine d'id?es chr?tien the "First Things", fond? par le p?re Richard John Neuhaus, tr?s influent pr?tre am?ricain, d'abord devenu pasteur luth?rien au Canada puis devenu catholique. Une sorte de Cardinal Newman ? l'am?ricaine ... Voici sa page wikipedia, pour ceux int?ress?s : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_John_Neuhaus Cette soir?e fur tr?s int?ressante, avec tous les ?ges repr?sent?s, entre les avocats finissant leur carri?re, les jeunes avocats ayant d?j? de l'exp?rience, ceux qui viennent d'?tre admis au barreau et enfin beaucoup de jeunes, majoritairement en ONG, comme C-FAM et la "World Youth Alliance" de d?fense de principes ?thiques aupr?s de l'ONU mais officiellement non confessionnel, et enfin des jeunes en Phd ? la Columbia ou de Princeton. Nous avons fini avec un d?bat entre deux amis se querellant pour pouvoir dire si les films du cin?aste fran?ais Eric Rommer ?taient-ils ou non chr?tiens !!! Hier, vendredi, un ami de notre organisation, m'a permis de rencontrer le chef de la Section ONG de l'ONU, qui m'a permis de me mettre en contact avec la mission russe aupr?s des Nations-Unies afin d'avoir d'obtenir des informations pour mon travail. Je devrai rencontrer un des conseillers de la mission la semaine prochaine. Voil? donc mes 10 premiers jours ? NY ! Au programme la semaine prochaine, conf?rence sur la Jeunesse ? l'ONU, ?v?nements culturels en tout genre, visite de la "Frick Collection" (maison d'une famille richissime cr?ee pour accueillir leur collection d'art, ? la mani?re de la Wallace Collcetion ? Londres ou plus pr?s de nous l'H?tel Mo?se de Camondo sur le parc Monceau ? Paris), suivi d'une lecture, donn?e par une jeune fran?aise qui y travaille, sur l'art oriental ? la cour de Marie-Antoinette. Si vous avez des conseils de visite ? me donner ils sont les bienvenus ! Bravo ? ceux qui ont lu jusqu'au bout et ? tr?s bient?t, Quentin P.S. : En fichier joint j'ai mis une ?tude r?dig?e par des chercheurs rattach?s ? C-FAM sur la mani?re dont des agences de l'ONU ont tent? et tentent encore aujourd'hui de faire reconna?tre un droit international ? l'avortement afin de l'imposer aux pays refusant de l?gif?rer.

21 Сен 2011, 05:14 Can you host 2 people on Sept 25th-Sept 27th? (dates flexible so far) Hi Sergey- My girlfriend (Valeria, who is Russian and speaks Russian, English and Spanish) and I (Emi from Argentina fluent in Spanish and English) are traveling through Russia, and would really love to have a local person give us some pointers about the best places to visit and things to do in the few days that we are going to stay in and around Krasnoyarsk. Well, we also need a place to stay, of course..:). Valeria and I are in the middle of a trip around the world (www.expedicionvaleriano.blogspot.com). We have started in my homeland Argentina and crossed it from the most southern city of Ushuaia to the border of Bolivia in the north. Then, we went all over the place in Bolivia, and then crossed Brazil taking boats on the Amazon River. Then we went to USA, visiting some friends and family (Valeria used to live here), after that we came to Russia and spent some time in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Nizhniy Novgorod (where Valeria is from).. Right now we are in Severobaikalsk and on the 25th (I think) we are taking off to your amazing island. Could you please let me know if we could stay with you the night of Sept 25th, 26th and may be the 27th? In reality, we don’t have train tickets yet, but these are the days that we are planning for the visit. The dates might change a little, depending on the tickets available. Please let me know if you have any questions and I’d be more than happy to respond. We have only have one reference on couch surfing (from St. Petersburg), because we are just beginners on CS. We are very clean and respectful of other people’s space and time, so you will not have any problems with us. Thank you and I hope to meet you soon! Emi and Lera |

15 Ноя 2012, 18:57 Sergei Yeremeyev is a former Muscovite who has lived on Olkhon Island in Siberia’s Lake Baikal for the last seven years. In the 1990s he worked for a major global company, carried a gas-pistol in his jacket pocket, and used to play at the casinos. Nowadays he is a simple verger at a church and dwells with his family in a cramped log cabin near the church. Sergei rises at seven each morning. He goes to open the church and waits to see how many will come to pray. This is the only church on the island. If it were not for Sergei, then the church would either remain devoid of worshippers or closed most of the time. He built the fence around the church himself, found a church-bell, and helped build a bell-tower. To look at him, one would say he was around 35. He has several diplomas, including one from the Sorbonne. He is fluent in English and French, and understands Greek. Long ago Sergei worked as a headhunter – he worked in personnel recruitment. “And then I got sick of it all,” he says, sipping local farm milk from a mug and sitting in a room of his house, whose walls are scattered with icons. “I went to study in Paris, and then I went travelling big-time. But the main thing that interested me was Russian monasteries. Perhaps it’s only when you find yourself abroad that you begin to take a serious interest in the history and culture of your own country?” During his university vacation, Sergei packed his rucksack and set off on the road. “Where y’going?’ drivers would ask him. And he answered honestly: “To Holy Mount Athos.” He began his journey with 500 francs in his pocket, but ended with a thousand. The drivers who offered him lifts not only gave him medicines, but money too. “Well, how can I explain what I did there at Mount Athos?” Sergei says, smiling. “Mount Athos is the kind of place about which one should keep silent.” "I got sick of it all," said Sergei about Moscow, Paris, education and languages. Source: Cornelius Langenbruch. Eight hours of prayers, eight hours of work, and eight hours of rest – it was the daily regimen at the Holy Mountain. By degrees, Sergei’s interests changed. He stopped blowing his money, stopped going to casinos, and stopped associating with many of his friends. “It felt like I began even to breathe differently then.” One of the monks at Mount Athos suggested that he should stay there – forever. Yet Sergei declined, saying that he was not ready for that, and returned to Moscow. However, it turned out that he could no longer live in Moscow either. He needed to escape. Related: Agritourism develops in Russia's unique rural places Siberian lake that inspired James Cameron Trails will provide the gateway to explore the area's natural riches “I hated all of Moscow’s hustling and fighting for a place in the sun. They get in the way of everything else.” Nastya, Sergei’s wife, stands by the church doors, talking to a tourist from the Netherlands. “Really, you’re truly happy here? Well sure, maybe you could stay half a year here, a year tops – but staying here forever?” the tourist muses aloud. Nastya smiles – neither her parents nor friends can fathom her decision, let alone passing tourists. Nastya had also studied in Paris and had always dreampt of making a career in the West. When Sergei suggested the idea of moving to Olkhon Island, it took her ages to find it on a map. When she found it, she rejected the idea flat out. Actually, back then, Baikal’s only inhabited island did not even have electricity. But Sergei insisted. He was determined to leave Moscow, and he did not care where. He had already been to Olkhon, and he had liked it. As he says, “It has something in common with Mount Athos.” “Okay, so who moves to Siberia voluntarily?” Nastya asks rhetorically, remembering her original reaction to the idea of relocating to Lake Baikal. “I’d always thought that people flee from Siberia.” Even so, she packed a suitcase and followed her husband to the tiny village of Khuzhir – thus earning the nickname “Mrs. Decembrist” from her parents (The ‘Decembrists’ were Czarist-era political prisoners, sent to Siberia for attempting a coup in December 1825. Many were former officers and noblemen. Society expected their wives to divorce them, but, in fact, several followed their husbands into Siberian exile). Nastya got used to her new surroundings quickly – she learned how to milk a goat, grow cucumbers and tomatoes, had two children, and began to sing in the church choir. “Do you know how I derive real pleasure? From walking barefoot through the grass, from the fact I can go on foot everywhere, from breathing the sea air every day. And also that I don’t have to save my money for years and years to get an apartment in Moscow,” says Nastya. |
