    A Fragment from Gumilev. / / Translated from the Russian by Simon R Gladdish The whole night I saw strange and wonderful images. / All night long my soul was on an execution rack. / An eagle was turning in unknown skies, / And its scream was like the clash of steel swords. / But frequently in the shriek of steel / A shrill and inconsolable cry was breaking, / There were some lights shining … / And crying … and my heart was jumping like a ball. / There was a dark shame, inevitable as death, / Which weighs heavier than death … / After the woman, so loved, / The shame came creeping in dark lanes. / I awoke … The morning was so clear, / And the air was impregnated by roses. / But I know, that it was not in vain / This dreadful and beautiful dream.

    Imr There were Pleiades in the sky, as on a woman’s dress, / Diamonds, full of fire. / Her brothers walked patrols, / And every one of them wanted to destroy me. / But I sneaked into her like a serpent. / Already she was undressed for bed / And said: ” I won’t be yours, / Why won’t you meet me openly? “ / But anyway gave in to me, we used / A counterpane to cover up the traces. / So we came there where calyxes of white lilies / Stand proudly in the middle of the water. / There I took her head in my hands and / She threw her arms around my torso. / How hot her mouth was, her shining breasts / Could only be compared to mirrors, / Her eyes were timid, as the eyes of a gazelle / With her young calf, / And since then the stupefying smell / Of musk in my bed is ineradicable. / … But what’s the matter? Why you are crying?

    Theodora Now you are safe with me, / A hermit cannot talk / Much less a dead one. The time has come / To frankly speak the truth. / I have always hated you - / For your thin hands, for your sad sight / And for the calmness, as though through tiredness / Of your movements and your speech. / You have lived like a bird of an / Extinct breed, and about you / Even the slaves spoke with alarm. / There is ancient Roman blood in you; / My blood is plebian and all the better for it. / You were just a girl yesterday, / Over whom an angel was inclined. / I know about taverns and brothels, / Where knives flash because of women, where / By drunken sailors I was comforted. / But I am purer than you and in front of you / I stand with horror and disgust. / The dirt of palaces, the defects of your ancestors, / The treachery and meanness of Byzantium / Flow in your ignorant and childish body, / Alive now, as sometimes death lives / In the plants of a plague cemetery. / You think you are a woman, but you / Represent a poisoned wedding tunic / And each of your steps – destruction, / And your sight – disease, / And your touch – disaster! / The Tsar of Trabzon has died and Imr will die, / But you are alive, smelling sweetly of decay. / Pray! But I am afraid of your prayers, / To me they are a blasphemy!

    Eunuch: I met / The Tsar of Trabzon, when / This hall he left at midday, / And though I hadn’t eaten, / He took my hand and led me / Towards Saint Sofia’s Cathedral. / He was silent, only once he asked me, / Whether by a Scythian tradition / A body had been buried beneath the temple’s base / So that the walls stay firmly put / And the majestic columns will not split; / I crossed myself and answered, / ‘Why, this superstition is unworthy of / Either the Emperor or Byzantium.’ / He smiled and again / Fell silent. / You know this temple; / On narrow, shaky ladders, planked footways, / Among monstrous timbers like the edges / Of a Levi fan or hippopotamus, / We climbed to where the architect thinks / From clay pots he will raise a dome. / My companion stood at a terrible height / With his face turned south, gilded by the sun, / Like an uncertain spirit, he began to speak. / I listened, clinging to the handrail. / He spoke that this city - / Its buildings, palaces and roadways, / As all words, wills and thoughts, / Which own a person, / Are a heritage to the living from the dead. / That there are two worlds, between themselves unequal: / In one, extensive, there are geniuses, heroes, / Filling the universe with glory, / But we their pitiable descendants occupy the other, / The slaves of necessity and fate. / Then he said it wasn’t so terrible to die, / If Hercules and Julius Caesar have died, / If Maria and Jesus Christ have died, / And suddenly, having said Christ’s name, / He stepped forward, from the wall’s edge, where there is air / Penetrated by the midday flame … / And it seemed to me that he was standing / Above a chasm, having conquered terrestrial gravity; / In a horrible confusion I closed my eyes / For an instant, or a half of one; / When again I opened them, in front of me – / O, misfortune! – I saw nobody. How I descended on the planked footway, I do not remember … / There, behind the wall, people already mingled, / Crowding around a heap of meat and bones / Without a human image or likeness. / Our masons are severe: their / Favourite entertainments are animal fights, / Fisticuffs and night-time drunkenness, / But the weather-beaten faces trembled, / Tears shone in their gloomy eyes / When I cried before them, / That it was the body of the Tsar of Trabzon. / They loved him for his cheerfulness / For his courage, and his beauty, / As I loved him for his high spirits / And his ability to withstand torture. / And even – dare I say? – I heard / Some whispered curses / As they stared at the imperial palace; / They everywhere suspect betrayal.

    ABOUT ARTIST Valery Rybakow In the career of the professional artist I tried various styles and technicians of painting. / The greatest satisfaction and pleasure of my soul causes drawing of canvases with painting with oil and palette knife. / In each picture I try to transfer beauty and pleasure of a life, unique harmony of soul. / It is the heavy technics of drawing of paintings demanding a lot of time, forces and spiritual experiences. / However each painting drawn by me shows bright paints full of human emotions and a sincere impulse to beauty every instant to this fine life. / I am glad to inform, that since recent time I sell the canvases and on my site: www.rybakow.com .

    Over the last decade there has been an increasing amount of Russian dating sites appear and many Western men have been jumping on the “Russian brides” bandwagon. Searching for a Russian bride to marry, Many Russian girls move to the USA with their husbands who have met them through a Russian dating site. Some dating sites are free and some you pay for so you can choose the type you want to try but usually registration is free. Most of Russian online agencies provide free registration, and then charge members a fee to contact other members. There are some free Russian singles services that offer 100% free to their members because they really want to help Western guys with Russian ladies. These free dating sites usually have some ads on the web site to pay for the host and domain. / Russian dating sites online have become a very easy way for Western men to contact Russian girls with a view to marriage. Many Russian women will register their profile with their beautiful photos so as you can expect there will be a lot of competition for the beautiful girls. Generally speaking, Russian women are known throughout the world for being very beautiful, sexy and at the same time highly educated. They want to change their lives by getting married with Western men because it is not so easy to find a good man in Russia and considering there are 12 million more women than men in Russia you will understand one of the reasons Russian brides look overseas.. Some Russian girls can speak and understand English, but some have the language barrier. The most important reason that Russian women like getting married with Western guys is because they will be treated and respected well. / Russian dating sites generate thousands of marriages every year, so you will not be alone in your search. Over the years there has sometimes been some bad press in the media about Russian brides and scam, though Dating sites do their best to remove scammers profiles or check them out, though they cannot be 100% sure there are no scammers on a site, statistically you are just as much going to meet a scammer on a local dating site as you are a Russian dating site. / Thanks to the modern world and fast internet connection it is now possible to be communicating with beautiful Russian brides within a few minutes, through instant messenger or chat rooms or web cams. The matter is that you need to be careful when dealing with specific members. Although in general you will have no trouble with your Russian dating you should still be careful and pay attention to profiles you check some maybe fake, or maybe scammers. Although most good Russian dating sites try to check out every profile it is impossible to guarantee every profile is real. Website owners do not have time to review each profile that is posted on their online dating services, but you will find this problem on your local dating sites as well so just use your common sense at all times and don’t go falling in love with the first beautiful Russian bride that comes along. Some Russian brides may just be gold diggers, but I’m sure you will know you can find “gold diggers “ on your local sites. / It is always a good idea if you are very serious to do some research into Russia, Russian life, and Russian culture. / So, if you are ready to meet your special Russian lady, then what have you to lose, start now? http://www.email2femail.com

  • Russian Orthodox Wedding - Just a few shots of the day
    by Caroline Gorka

    !http://images-1.redbubble.net/img/art/size:xlarg…

russian – information provided by wikipedia:

Russian icon painting was inherited from the art of the BRITTANYByzantine churches, and it soon became an offshoot version of the mosaic and fresco traditions. Icon paintings in Russia attempted to help people with their prayers without idolizing the figure in the painting. The most comprehensive collection of Icon art is found at the Tretyakov Gallery. Rather than being a mere imitation, Russian icons had a peculiar style and masters such as Andrei Rublev took the icon to new heights.
