The celebration started with opening of the Glory alley at the “Unity of front and rear” memorial square. The first memorial plate, installed at that day, is devoted to Vasiliy Tatishchev. The idea of Glory alley foundation had been being carried out for two years by the local authorities, and the first plate installment had to start a tradition of famous Perm citizens’ memorization. This time there was no Carnival, which is usually opens Day of the city celebration. Aleksey Rodin, the chairman of local administration culture and arts committee says “Lately the carnival looks as we don’t want it to. The ratio of adver-
tising and creativity should be 1 to 99 and not vice versa”. The last year the authorities offered Perm citizens themselves to decide how the carnival should look like. But there was no result. The next year, when Perm will celebrate the 285 th birthday, the authorities promise to go back to the tradition of opening Day of the City with carnival. But it’s still not clear how it will look like. The main rule, which was decided to be followed organizing the celebration, is prohibition to sell any alcoholic beverages at the celebration sites. This Day of the City even draft beer wasn’t sold near to the stages. The celebration was
organized in such a way to unite people of different ages. Circus artists performed near the Drama theatre for the smallest ones, in the evening for “those, who are older…” retro-music was played, brass band performed at the Opera theatre square, popular Russian bands performed for youth. Artists draw pictures, poets read their verses, author songs singers performed at the Ural volunteers square in the noon. Everybody, who came to Esplanada on June, 12 th was given with marks and car stickers with the symbol of the 284 birthday of Perm. The celebration was completed as always with the fireworks.

The census books of chief Prokopiy Elizarov from 1647 has reference about “settlement at Kama and Egoshikha rivers with farmers yards”. In the refusal books for Stroganovskie lands in 1692 this settlement had a name of Egoshikha village.

V. Putin: Seven-year term is absolutely acceptable
I
t is reasonable to prolong term of Russian president authority to 5 or 7 years, but the number of terms should be limited. President thinks that “Two years at the federal level are needed to get familiar with federal and international problems politics”. The president also considers that for Russia four years is “certainly, very short term”. Head of the state is sure that “Anyway, today five, six or sevenyear term is completely acceptable.” HHowever he stated that the terms number limitation imitation should be kept. “I think that the terms number limitation is still correct”, – V. Putin declared. V. Putin remembered that before the Presidential election he was the chairman of the government and he “was already familiar with events, happening in the country, he was implicated into making decisions”. “But in other situation if somebody such as governor comes, he will
need at least two years at the federal level to get familiar with federal and international problems. And that’s it, here you should start new election campaign”. The topic of presidential term prolongation had been raised by Russian politicians for many times. But the closest attention was given to the problem by Sergei Mironov, Federation Council speaker, who supported not just the head of the state, but also the third term of Putin. He had even sent to regions letters with proposal of “conducting informal
conferences” on that topic. But few days ago Mironov said to “Vedomosti” newspaper that after a talk with president the topic was not valid and offered to put it away for 5 years. According to Mironov, term of presidential authorities for the one, elected in 2012, will be not four but 5-7 years, what will help people to decide if they need him for another term or they have to elect a new one. Although the procedure of making changes in the Constitution is difficult and has many levels, it is possible to make the amendments about term prolongation before the presidential election in 2008, accordingly to the former member of the Central Election Committee, jurist Viacheslav Sitnik. All the obstacles, as he says, are connected only with declared campaign: It is not possible to set up a new presidential authorities term after official start of presidential campaign is declared, and this will happen in the December.

“Belkomur” trunkrailroad construction
T
he project of “White sea – Komi - Ural” (Belkomur) trunk-railroad construction was proposed in 1996 by authorities of three RF subjects (Komi Republic, Archangelsk region and perm Territory). It was considered that the trunk-railroad would shorten the route from Siberia and Urals to Archangelsk, Murmansk and Finland ports by 800 kilometers. The route length should be 1300 kilometers, 391 of them at the Perm territory. 30 kilometers of the railway have been built since the start of construction. The cost of completing the construction is estimated to 100 billions rubles. Well, it seems like it has finally moved from the dead stop. Igor Levitin, RF transportation minister, supported the recommencement of “Belkomur” trunk-railroad construction. The minister visited stand of the “Belkomur” investment project at the XI International ecomical forum in St. Petersburg. The Russian Minister of transportation emphasized that “the “Belkomur” construction is crucially necessary, because by this we will
significantly increase goods flow from Perm region to Finland, and consequently to European markets as well». Levitin noted that he absolutely supports “Belkomur” project, and hopes that its realization will start in the closest future. The day before, Oleg Chirkunov, the Perm region governor, negotiated with Yuriy Evdokimov, the Murmansk region governor. Murmansk region participation in the “Belkomur” project was discussed at the meetinng. On the topic of meeting results Oleg Chirkunov says that the negotiation is a success, Yuriy Evdokimov, Murmansk region governor, demonstrated that he is interested in the project. Investments amount into “Belkomur” project will be from 50 to 100 billions rubles. The construction should be reopened in 2008, the project realization is planned to be carried out within the limits of state and private partnership with Russian Federal Investments Fund means.. Full documents set and application for “Belkomur” project will be presented to the State Investments Committee in the autumn.
Russian kids will have their own TV channel
A
ll-Russian TV channel “Tele-nanny”, created exclusively for children auditory, has started its broadcasting since June, 1st almost in 100 Russian cities, including Perm. The new channel financing is carried out by “The first channel” means, according to its director general Constantine Ernst. He also added that the question of similar channel creation, but only for elder auditory, is currently in development. Ernst said that “Conducted researches revealed that one kids channel is not enough for corresponding auditory coverage: there is basic auditory (from 3 to 8 years old), which “Tele-nanny” is made for, and there is little bit older kids (from 9 to 14 years old)”.
The“Tele-nanny” program will have different cognitive, educational and developing shows, play shows, quizzes, the best cartoons and movies. Constantine Ernst emphasized that“Russian legislation allows us to put commercial blocks in children shows, but will not do that”. He has also noted that 24-hours broadcasting is connected with ability for children of different time zones watch “Tele-nanny” with no problems at appropriate time.

Business Small and medium-scale business. Fair view from Chinese side O
n the June, 14 th– 15 th, Perm regional department of “Fair Russia” party organized “Russian and China at the path of reforms and modernization. Role of small and medium-scale business” round table. The round table participants are Alenksandr Babakov, “Fair Russia” party central council president and the State Duma deputy, and Tsi Tzianmay, United front
economical management department of Chinese communist party (CCP) central committee vicechairman. During the press-conference, mr. Babkov emphasized small and medium-scale business development issue urgency for China, as well as for Russia, especially. Such a peculiarity is very pleasant for us, the Perm citizens. Considering the fact that many local enterprises and
deputies, attended the event, didn’t hide their displeasure of Russian government, which didn’t gave its attention to that important side of the country economics. Such an attidute is seen in Russian three-year budget project, which is currently discussed in the State Duma. Still, from her part, Tsi Tzianmay highly appreciated development of friendly relationships between CCP and “Fair
Russia”. Chinese guest totally supported Alexandr Babkov wish to systematize these relations. Oganes Oganian, chairman of economics policy, business and property Federation Council Committee and “Fair Russia” Perm region department Council chairman, and Valentina Savostianova, “Fair Russia” party central council member, took part in the work of Russian-Chinese round table.
Inter-parliamentary round table. European approach. Perm hospitality Inter-parliamentary “round table”, held in Demidkovo, closed on the May, 29th. This event urgency, as we think, could be felt mostly by reading mass-media of federal level. Besides that, really important role in the event coverage was played by the majority of the round table participants’ comments that we could get not only during the press conferences, but also in the further correspondence
Our correspondent special report For the two days visit, the 20 European countries representatives, State Duma representatives, deputies of RF president and Foreign affairs ministry almost could realize what seemed impossible, that was to find solution for the conflict, which has not really been the one. Well, the question of the new partnership agreement between Russia and European Union was discussed by their representatives. It is known, that the term of previous agreement between Russia and European Union, which has been valid since 1994, should be over in the current year November. New agreement has already been a discussion subject in Helsinki and Samara. Within the bounds of the agreement, Perm meeting was the third one. We can’t make any conclusions, even the most common and careful. But saying words of the previous era, we are satisfied with the results. Sincere activity could by felt from both sides. Sitting by the table, during the governor welcome, the
participants didn’t hide their delight of Perm land, and first of all of the people, who are interested in relations between Europe and Russia. For now we just have several significant, as we think, phrases and comments: Oleg Morozov, the first vice-chairman of RF State Duma, at the round table opening: “I’m absolutely against thinking of Russian-European relations in any disastrous moods. There are a lot of already discussed questions. And if a dialog exists, then different viewpoints may exist. This can be called disagreements, but it’s better be called dialog, which can result in common understanding of the both sides. Andrei Klimov, the State Duma deputy: “I would envy you, dear journalists, because today you had a chance to see the real “kitchen” of parliamentary discussions. That’s how the destinies of Europe, and Russia as well, are being decided”. Constantine Kosachev, head of Russian Federation State Duma foreign affairs committee answered
to journalists question about Polish veto: “A constructive dialog should be led on that topic, because Russia can also “turn its back” and refuse to have negotiations, for example, until all the Russian-spoke population of Estonia would be given with citizenship. It is not logical, because it totally blocks our partnership. The main result of the “round table” is that we, as national parliamentarians, approved absolutely clearly that Russia and European Union are still strategic partners. And the appeared problems and rough edges are not dominative ones.” Uran Ahlin, Member of the Foreign Affairs Commission, Riksdag of Sweden, after the concert at the European club conference in the Organ concert hall: “Perm citizens are not just educated people, reading English, but also very musical people. Especially speaking of Russian fold music instrument… Balalaikas of “Karavai” show group were very enchanting!” Head of EU Secretariat, Parliament of Finland Peter Saramo: «Perm is a dynamic, growing industrial and
business hub. It would be logical to expect a growing demand for news and comment in English. Concerning the visit everything was overwhelmingly positive. If I have to point out particular highlights, these would be the wooden sculptures at the State Art Gallery and attending Church on Pentecost. Nils Usakovs, Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Saiema of the Republic of Latvia (during a coffeebreak): “You can’t imagine what potential your lands have. Looking at Demidkovo, we realize that you’re using it right”. Averof Neofytou, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, The House of Representatives: “I thank you, because you held this meeting at such a wonderful site of your region”. Preparing the materials, we realized that it is impossible to put all the materials, wishes and comments of the round table participants within the article, because they are still coming thanks to our web-site www.pimg.ru

Business “by Russians” Russian character, as well as any other, has been mainly generated by time and space. The history and a geographic situation imposed the indelible mark on it. Centuries of constant danger of war generated special patriotism of Russians and their aspiration to have strong centralized authority. Severe climate conditions caused the necessity to live and work together. Boundless open spaces generated special breadth of Russian soul. Such sorts of generalizations are relative, though it is possible to allocate a line of laws and the general features in character of Russians.
Relations between people Collectivism is one of distinctive features of Russian national character. In Russia it is accepted to solve all the major questions together. In order to observe a principle of validity, whom to assist, how to pay taxes, whom and how to punish for offences. Even family questions, in case of the conflict, are taken out for general discussion. The principle of mutual support is more important, than self-preservation instinct for Russian. Collectivism feeling forces Russian to interfere freely with affairs of friends, neighbors and just passers-by in streets. Be not surprised, “kind” advice from extraneous people is habitual situation for Russian. Brotherhood and collectivism feeling generated a set of other national character features. The relations between people in Russia have informal character, and the friendship concept is appreciated very highly. On usual question “how are you doing?” you will receive the entire report from your Russian friend. Be ready for that. The formality of foreigners in this case often offends Russian. Formal, secular relations and conversations are alien and poorly clear to the Russian person. In conversation with Russian try to show yourself from the human side – tell about your feelings, hopes, aspirations and affections. They’re interested not so much in your commercial, but in your personal purposes. It is necessary to learn to speak by “souls” with Russian to receive the credit of trust. The Russian sensual perception of a life is expressed in the way that they require close human contacts, emotionally depend on an environment. Daily routine, meanness, repeatability, monotony are the heaviest things for them. From what the “normal” European feels rest and stability, can result Russian in despondency. Russians are tactile people; they like to feel things materially, touch them. Do not be afraid, if at a meeting they will shake your hand excessively vigorously, clap on a shoulder as a token of your actions approval, kiss sonorously, almost touch you during conversation, and sit too close. Being keen by conversation they can break a distance between you and him, permitted by the European etiquette, and to draw even more closely to you. It means, you are interesting to them, they do not wish to miss the slightest detail from your conversation. Building personal relations with Russian partners and colleagues, do not forget about attractive qualities of Russian archetype, such as compassion, sympathy to physical or mental anguish of another person, the active help to the one who got in trouble. Do not hide your the problems as carefully as you have got used to do in the homeland. Remember all these qualities, organizing the business activity in Russian collective, do not criticize these qualities, and use it for your own benefit.

opinion Project http://www.eurokraina.ru/. The name means European outskirts. From the geographical point of view it is really European outskirts. According to the project organizers, the “okraina” (outskirts) word is still dominating because of the local mentality and social and economical development level. The goal of http://www.eurokraina.ru/ is to fulfill “European outskirts” phrase with new sense of “civilized land”.
Berezniki as a test for the authorities’ opulence Berezniki
is the city in Perm region, the biggest industrial center, the second city of Perm region by scale. Administrative status: city. Area: 387 km². Population: 169,9 thousands (2005). Situation: The city is situated at the left bank of Kama River. The distance to Perm by train is 278 km, by the river – 208 km. Head of the city: Motovilov Andrei Vladimirovich, the head of local self-government, elected in April 2006 for 5-year term. Phone code: 34 242.
History of the city People populated this territory long time ago. Archeologists found sites, belonged to Mesolithic period (12-6 thousands years B.C.). In the medieval the region was populated with ancestry of modern komi-permayki. During 14-15 centuries Russians actively penetrated to upper regions of Kama. The further region development is connected with Stroganovskie earls, who started industrial salt mining here, which had great share in Russian salt production. Salt production plant was built in 1873, and soda plant (one of the first in Russia) was built in 1883. The richest Potassium-Magnesium salts ore deposit discovery in the middle of 20’s led to great changes in the region. Construction of a huge chemical plant had been begun quickly and in 1932 first its line was started. And on March, 20th of the same year Executive committee of RSFSR issued the enactment of industrial communities uniting into one city named Berezniki. During the first five-year plans modern chemical production was developing successfully, what was the reason for writer K.G. Paustovskiy to call Berezniki a “republic of chemistry”.
By Feliks Touchin Even the last fool can rule when it’s calm and quiet. But in case of emergency or development there is always necessity in qualified managers. Well, if there is no real great development in the region lately, will the authorities’ talent help to solve the emergency situation? Especially if the emergency is not local, but the whole country one. Since the last October 10% of region population and 20% of the region economy, concentrated in Berezniki and Solikamsk, are sitting on the “powder-keg”, waiting for results of man-caused catastrophe of flood in BPKRU-1 shaft of “Uralkaliy”. Here it is – an excellent chance for the region authority to show its’ thoroughly hidden administrative talent.. Since the accident 8 months have already passed, so there was enough time for actions.
Looking around.
During the last 8 months Berezniki was visited by so many officials, much more than at the banquet, devoted to Chirkunov inauguration or Perm region creation. Chirkunov himself came down to the BPKRU-1 shaft, when the flood had just started; Bukhvalov, the vice-governor, and other officials of smaller rank came there as well. Konovalov, the presidential plenipotentiary in Privolzhie Federal District (PFD) came to look around; Sergei Shoigu, the main disaster-man of the country, officially the RF minister of public defense, force-majeure situations and acts of God results liquidation. There are gossips that Trutnev, the minister of natural resources, also came down to Berezniki, but there is no confirmation. It’s like everybody came, everybody saw. They can’t say that they didn’t know, but if somebody didn’t get something, please read the first sentence.
Lobbying
A soon as the BPKRU-1 shafts are situated right under the city neighborhoods, it has become clear very soon that the emergency will
severe Ural weather conditions. Just couple of thousands of qualified certificated bums. And again, 2 schools and two kindergartens are also not odd. Then who, and in whose expense will build schools and kindergartens instead of doomed ones?
Left misunderstood
affect business and citizenry interests. The results of the accident will have economical and social sides. Thinking logically, the economical side should be solved at the first place by “not poor” enterprises, able to pay big dividends at such kind of moments, but not really reach population of Berezniki hardly can handle the sudden disaster alone. Who can they trust, if not to the authorities? What is really happening? It has been 100 million rubles spent already for bypass train branch-line construction, but according to the last data, that it is just temporary decision. Why was it necessary to attract budget money, if “Uralkaliy”, the hero of occasion, had spent only 60 millions rubles for check dam construction?
Leaving as it is The problems of populations are much worse. At the present day 31 inhabited constructions with 2000 thousands people, 2 schools and 2 kindergartens are in potential disaster area. Scientist, who dealt with problems of BPKRU-1 safety measures, obviously with help of witchcraft, promised that the situation won’t get worse till the January 2008. Excuse me, but what will happen in January? To relocate 2000 citizens it’s necessary to have approximately 40000 sqaure meters of habitation. That is how much was built in Berezniki for 10 years. Oksana Subbotina, the head of architecture and town-planning department of Berezniki administration talks about some projects till 2025. Well, I
don’t really know what it will be in Berezniki in 2025, but what will be in 2008 is totally incomprehensible. There were NONE real activities to solve the citizens problems until 2008. Declared version of housing certificates, as Kizel city practice shows, is helpless, because it gives a great chance for speculators of all kinds, definitely at the expense of budget and the population. It is impossible to build up 40000 square meters of HIGH-QUALITY habitation till the end of the year. So nobody can explain what 2000 people (about 1% of the region population) should do if after the New Year they become bums. Well, people will be given with the certificates, which they probably should use as a guard from frosts, rains and other

In the nearest future the problem can affect 80000 of Berezniki citizens. What is 3-10 years for our imposing authority? There was practically nothing done for 2000 people during the year, and it will have to be made for 80000 in one year. This is, by the way, distinctive illustration of the Perm way to solve problems. Bukhvalov reports that he is looking for money at different level budgets, talking to investors… Obviously he wants Berezniki citizens thought of him as a local demigod. Mister Buhkvalov, have you ever tried to talk (not declare, but talk) to the citizens? Have you ever thought of at least a half of population as of responsible, able to function citizens, who could be co-investors of any reasonable project? The first variant what could be thought about is individual habitation construction. For 8 months it was possible to find a building area and start services constructions. Having wise allotment of responsibilities, rules of budget financing participation, a settlement of 150-200 houses could be built, solving immediate problems. And the price for that could be less than 100 million rubles. But our authorities do not walk the easy paths, when they have eternity of time. THEY are so reach, that are ready to give out OUR money thoughtless, overpay in three times, to work as less. And “Uralkaliy” is already aside of the problems, caused by the accident at BPKRU-1 shaft. Not long time ago Perm press association has even awarded “Uralkaliy” as “Choise of press”. Following the same logic, American press should award “Osama bin Laden” for something. He has made a lot of American journalist reach people.

Tourism
Russia tourist market grows more quickly than national economy Despite of negative tendencies in global tourist branch development, rates of Russia tourist market development show an enviable constancy last years. In what it is not difficult to be convinced from the review of the tourist services Russian market, which has kindly given the web- site www.marketcenter.ru The basic criteria for the tourist market division are type of rest and average tour price. Types of rest: • Sea or beach rest • Excursion rest • Business travel By the way the beach rest segment is the most significant and makes 55-60% of all markets tourists quantity. Average tour price: • «Cheap rest». Its costs up to $1000. The target audience is people with single person income from $300 up to $800 per month. • «Expensive rest». It costs more than $1000. The target audience is people with the income from above $1000.

LEGENDS AND MYTHS OF KUNGUR ICE CAVE Part 1. By Valentin Rapp
(Author of «Kungur and Kungur ice cave guide», «Legends and true stories of Kungur ice cave »).
Kungur ice cave without false modesty is the pioneer of Russian tourism. Though nowadays there are already over 11 well-furnished caves in Russia it still is the favorite of spelean tourism. Therefore it is no wonder that it is visited every year by more than 90 thousand people. Officially its era as tourism target begins in summer of 1914, when Alexander Khlebnikov took it on lease from the local peasant commune for 300 rubles for a term
of 12 years and started bringing there tourists. But if we consider that archeologist I.S. Polyakov, who visited the ice cave in the late nineteenth century, wrote about the local guide Romanovski, who was over 60 years old and for 40 years guided curious people, so we may talk with confidence about 150–160 years since the Ice cave was visited by tourists. (I wish to note that in Europe the initiator of tourism is considered to be Thomas Cook, who in 1843 organized in London the first travel bureau. Whereas in Russia the official chronology of tourism begins since 1885,

She was the elder sister of the last Russian empress Alexandra Fyodorovna Romanova – wife of Nicholas II and traveled on Ural with her sister the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna. With this visit to our cave are associated the difficult steps made of anhydrite, the so-called «Woman’s tears», where the princesses more than once have fallen and wept. And what is more, as the story goes, the princess
Louisa smashed on these steps her knee, but then later, after growing up she got married the Swedish prince Gustavus IV and became Swedish queen. Ever since in our Ice cave we have superstitious belief that only an unmarried girl, who will smash her knee on the «Woman’s tears», can realize the every girl’s dream to win her a prince.

the work area, there is no sign of their occupation. And the result is democratic view on mankind as a whole in work process. Rory Carnegie brought a photo series, which was inspirited by “Who is afraid of Virginia Wolf?” play of Edward Alby. But,
as Rory says, gradually the play’s name transformed to witty name of the fairytale “Who is afraid of big bad wolf”, where the wolf was a grasping male. And the photo series shows relation development and sexual tension of two loving couples, tired middleaged couple and young one, full of hopes and inspiration. Emma Titkomb presented her “Another country has a place, the name of which is England” project, which is still in develop-
ment. She took pictures of Oxford Botanical gardens and projected them at the city buildings walls. Then these projections were outlined with chalk. After that the pictures were shot and fixed with undercranking. Thus a spectator could see how they are gradually being washed out by changeable weather. It is the beginning of works series on topic of the environment short life and vulnerability, confronted with changing climate. To present the project in Perm, Titcomb created portable part of installation, which is pictures at trash bags. During the visit to Perm, artists could get acquainted with Russian colleagues’ works. Perm artists apply to modern life techniques rarely, they are still inspirited with XIX century, according to “The Crossroads” participants. “The Crossroads” exhibition will last till the June, 30th by the address: 10 Komsomolski avenue.

Society Not trusted Medical workers day June, 17th is the Day of Medical Worker The third Sunday of June (this year it is June, 17th) is special for all the Russian facilities, which have relation to medicine. Well, not everybody says kind words in doctors address: 87% of Russians consider the state (free) medical services as low quality one. Social survey was conducted at June, 13th 2007 with purpose to reveal citizens satisfactory level with medical services. Mostly the respondents are not satisfied with quality of medical services in state hospitals, and consequentially regularly use help of private specialists.
Elena, a student: — I don’t spend practically any money for medical services. This year I have been couple of times only at physician’s office. As a whole, I’ satisfied with services quality, but the very hospitals should be better.
Ivan Nikolaevich, pensioner: Due to my age, I’m 75, I spend a lot of time, money and nerves for medical services. Generally I visit such specialists as a cardiologist and physician. Definitely, medicine in our country and particularly in our city is at very low level. I’m not satisfied with my doctors.
Igor, scientific centre worker: — I spend money only for dentist services. I can’t tell you the exact amount, but not too much. If you have money, then you’ll get fine-quality service, if not then you’ll get standard set of free lines, documents and unnecessary routine.
Public transport map In spite of recent reorganization of guide path design, there are still some grave disadvantages in current system of public conveyances. Perm citizens can hardly gain a full understanding of it: stations are not signed, timetables give stale data, bus drivers do not declare names of bus stops. It goes without saying that foreigners are most likely to encounter obstacles on a path of learning Perm city. In this rubric we give information using which you will never lose the way in broad daylight. A few words about current traffic diagram. A new numbering system of bus, trolleybus and tram routes was adopted last summer. As a result a system of passenger traffic has been simplified, 14 new routes
have been put into operation. Nowadays intertown carriage of passengers is executed by trolleybuses, trams, buses, fixed-run taxi and urban electrical trains. Trolleybus and tram routes function only in a left-bank part of the city, the other part of the city is served by buses and fixed-run taxi. The vehicles for the first passengers start working at 6 a.m. on Perm roads and go back to their fleet near 11.30 p.m. Buses are
markedly different from fixed-run taxi. You can always distinguish fixedrun taxi in the traffic; they are tawny microbuses with 10 seats. Other feature is 10-ruble fare, a letter «t» and a symbol as chessboard next to its number. Buses, trolleybuses and trams carry passengers for 8 rubles. Tickets are sold by the conductor, a lady dressed in a uniform with tickets bag in front of her. Urban electrical train was put in use in the 28th of July in 2006. Urban electrical trains (a prototype of “on-land metro”) run by railway within the bounds of Perm en route “Kuriya” –“Golovanovo”.

Why does Permyak have salty ears? Have you already heard saying “Perm citizen the salty ears”? This expression is very popular but only few people know where it comes from. Even Perm inhabitants have already forgotten an explanation of this ancient proverb. So why Perm citizen ears are salty? Has someone ever tasted it? Let’s find out.
By Dasha RakhimCOOLova The popular expression “Perm citizen the salty ears” dates back to XVII century. At that time salt was the most salable Permian good. It was known all over Russia and called “permyanka”. The ancestry of Perm citizens mined “white gold” from mineral springs located in Solikamsk and Usolye. More precisely, they mined brine created by nature. First mining stage was the most exhausting one in the industrial process, e.g. it took 5-6 years to install just one well! Other production stages were salt solutions evaporation, derived salt drying and its warehousing. As soon as spring tide began, the doors of salt warehouses opened and the territory of any salt mine became a busy place. Spring works required a lot of workers, especially loaders. They carried heavy sacks (4-5 poods or 64-80 kg each) to barge and quickly ran back along tilted boards. Loader’s work was hard, workday lasted for 11 hours. If salt was wet, the weight of sacks raised and draining brine fretted skin behind the loaders ears. If it was dry, dust covered ears skin and irritated it. No matter how, but the loaders ears were notable for its scarlet colour and big size. So according to the legend, the funny saying has deep historical base. Although it is a rather old story, an attempt to immortalize the distinguishing feature of Perm citizens was made not long ago. A unique “Perm citizen
the salty ears” monument was unveiled not far from the “Ural” hotel, on the Fool’s day eve in 2006. The author of the bronze monument is Rustam Ismagilov. The memorial represents an integral composition. It consists of a granite column with an oval frame with big ears. You can see a photographer just opposite it. He looks as though he’s ready to capture the moment on his camera. The monument to Permian ears has had a success since the first days of its existence. There was a long queue of people wishing to fit historical ears during the commencement meeting. The Perm mayor Igor Shubin believes that there will be soon at least one photo framed with ears in every Permian family’s. And do you want a picture for the memories?

rant. Certainly, it is not obviously possible to bring “Nobu” to Perm — Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa refused to open his famous restaurant even in Moscow. The Moscow talk of the town is Vogue Cafe. People say that it is possible to get Vogue Cafe only on Porsche. But it not true. It is just the most popular Moscow restaurant: there is no empty seat every evening. Gossips, acquaintances, business meetings, and of course, rising stars – are all here. However there is the glamour place for habitués of glossy magazines modern columns in Perm also. Restaurant KARIN of the hotel Plaza Olympia absolutely casually became such a place in Perm. Who could think, visiting stars come to the hotel restaurant practically every day: nationally favorite by Russian public show-man and TV-leader Maxim Galkin, producer Joseph Prigozhin with Valery, singers Presnyakov and Agutin, actors — Nosic, Ilya Noskov, Vladimir Steklov, Igor Livanov… And the whimsical, spoilt stars are also satisfied.

Dressing.
All ingredients should be chopped finely. The name Okroshka originates from the Russian word kroshit (крошить) which means to chop (into small pieces). The ingredients are chopped into small cubes and are mixed with the beverage right before eating. This allows the vegetables to preserve «crunchiness»
Traditionally okroshka is made with kvass, a bread drink. Bottled kvass that is sold in many Russians shops is usually too sweet for okroshka. Real okroshka is prepared with homemade kvass which is quite sour. Sour cream gives okroshka the right mild taste. Okroshka can also be prepared with kefir, malt beer, dry cider, buttermilk or whey. But such taste is for the fancies. By the way, did you know that Okroshka is considered to be one of the best hangover cures?

Okroshka, a cold refreshing soup with kvass and vegetables, is a nourishing and thirst-quenching dish on hot summer days. Cooking okroshka is very easy: — just chop the ingredients into small pieces; — add kvass and serve. But okroshka is a traditional dish which had been developed over the centuries. To get the right taste it is important to follow some simple rules. There are so many different recipes of okroshka that one might think it can be made of almost everything. But this is not quite correct. Basically there are three different types of okroshka: vegetable, meat and fish okroshka. Every okroshka must contain green (spring) onions, fresh garden cucumbers, hard boiled eggs and dill. Potatoes is very important ingredient as well, it makes okroshka really nourishing. For a meat okroshka use cooked meat or ham. It tastes great with pickled or salted mushrooms, for example with honey agarics. A fish okroshka is traditionally made with salted or smoked fish. Herring and mackerel are especially popular.

Let’s start with the most important thing you will need to know here in Perm. How to get a beer! Now some of you may only drink wine or margarita’s or, if you are from Utah, perhaps you don’t drink alcohol at all. No matter. The problems you face as a foreigner in this regard are pretty much the same and the following advice should be applicable no matter of your kind of libation kind. I am sorry to report that you will only rarely find a waitress or bartender who actually speaks English. This is not France, after all, where they only pretend not to understand English. They really don’t understand it here. English menus are a little more common, but given the inability of the waitress to read English either, pointing at something will not necessarily gain you the item you desire. I am assuming that YOU, being the stereotypical foreigner, speak little or no Russian, at least that anyone will actually understand (I am sure it is
only the Moscow accent that you learned Russian with that is impeding your communication) (sure it is). So let us get a few language bits out of the way… I am hardly a linguist (my high school French teacher Miss Burnett would attest to that, were she still alive) but I have learned a survival level of Russian words and characters with which I have been able eat and drink my way around town. And you need to know them too, if you don’t already. So, in order of importance (to me): “Peeva” means beer. When spoken plaintively, in a bar or restaurant, this will generally elicit some kind of reasonable question from the waitress or bartender as to variety, quantity and container (draft or bottle). Unfortunately, you will not understand any of what she (rarely he) is asking so my advice is simply to shrug and repeat “peeva”, perhaps accompanied by hand gestures indicating pouring beer from a tap. Assuming this universal hand gesture is understood, you may next hear a variety of beer names, one or two of which you may actually recognize. However, if all you hear is Russian in response, don’t be concerned. Russian beers are generally okay and pretty much taste like
beer. I would whole heartedly recommend certain Russian beers but I refuse to so until they start at least giving me a free beer or two. Back in the day…. When I first arrived to these fair river shores, it was generally necessary, at this stage of the negotiation, to attempt to specify a “cold” beer. In that remote past, it was universally conceded that the only cold beer in Perm was the one being carried in the bare hand of the guy staggering down the street at 40 below zero. Fortunately (or unfortunately if you are British), that is rarely a problem in these modern times, complete with refrigeration and the like. If she is still standing there and seems to be asking another question, follow up with the old “bowl-shoy” which means “big” then mutter “peeva” again and resume talking to your companions or just stare out the window. At this point the waitress will roll her eyes and go get you a beer. To order the next one, you merely point at your beer and say “eeshow” which means “bring me another one”. I have repeatedly found this to be a particularly important concept. Speaking of important concepts, here is another phrase you need to learn:
After someone you are with has already successfully ordered, quickly follow-up with “ya toezha” Everybody, after me now… “ya toe-zha”. Very good! You’re almost a native! “Ya toe-zha” means something like “me too” or “I would like one of whatever he/she is having”. And this is a great phrase. Not only will everyone be impressed by your fine accent-free Russian (only people from Glasgow have trouble saying this but nobody understands them anyway), but your dining or drinking companion will be impressed by your fine taste and good judgment. I admit in the early days I suffered through a few pepper vodka’s, martini based concoctions, and the occasional unidentifiable food stuffs by utilizing the old “ya toe-zha” but the good impressions were generally worth it. A related tip here, try not to be the first one to order. “Peeva”, “bowl-shoy”, “ya toe-zha” and then….. “eeshow”. By jove, I think you’ve got it!! Let me see… did I leave anything out? But Dude, where do I go to get a peeva? Good question! Stay tuned next time when I will cheerfully tell you where to go. See you about town!

FC Amkar. They were almost written off, but they amazed everybody
CSKA are the Russian Champions
The most terrible crisis in “Amkar” was in the last August. That’s when Sergei Oborin, the football club main coach, worked in team since its creation in 1994 and led it from the third division to the premier league, sent in his resignation. “Emotions” was the reason why Sergei left the club, at least that is the official version of the Perm football club main coach resignation, according to Valeriy

Chuprakov, the club president. Emotional reason was very weak pretext. Meanwhile, sport society thought of other reasons of what happened. It was suggested that, in particular, Oborin received more favorable offer from another club. Another version says that Oborin had personal conflicts with Chuprakov. But Obotin himself didn’t give any comments on his Amkar leaving either to local
“Amkar” football team (Perm) was created at “Mineral fertilizers” plan in 1993. The birthday of the new club is the May, 5th 1993. This day football rookies of the plant played their first game in Perm city Cup competition under their new name, which is compiled of ammonia (ammiak) and urea (Karbomide), the plant products, first letters . The next year the plant team, played under management of playing coach Victor Zasulskiy, became the Champion and the Perm region Cup winner. Great part in organizing and growing of professional football club “Amkar” (Perm) belongs to Valeriy Chuprakov, the director general of the “Mineral fertilizers” plant and Gennadiy Shilov, the plant commerce director. The main purpose of the Perm club, founded on the December, 6th 1994 was a creation of team, able to present the city and the region in Russian football championship at high professional level. Since the May 1995, “Amkar” has been member of Professional football league and participant of annual professional football competitions. A significant history part of FC “Amkar” and football of Prikamye is the victory over the country champion FC “Spartak”, with score 1:0, within the bounds of 98/99 Russian football Cup on the September, 12th 1998. 25 thousands football fans, watched the game at “Zvezda” stadium, saluted their compatriots after end of the game Year 1999 became new step in the team and Perm football history. After many years of being leader, “Amkar” started to represent our city in the first division of Russian football. Since that time the Perm club has the highest rating among Ural professional football clubs. In 2003 FC “Amkar” has become a member of the Russian premier-league.
or federal mass-media. Whatever it was, “Amkar” future looked very pessimistic without Sergei Oborin. Because, as Moscow football experts constantly notes, first of all the main coach talent helped “Amkar” to get to the premierleague, and play confident for two and a half seasons. And that is at the same time when Perm football club yields to almost all the premiere-league clubs regarding financial and players’ purchases abilities. Steady gossips about the club bankruptcy appeared. The team was at the edge of leaving the premiereleague. It seemed as there were no chances. However, a miracle happened. Amkar management found Rashid Rakhimov, a unique person, born in middleeast, thinking of himself as a Russian with western-European mentality. This man could wake up the “halfsleeping” players. He brought a significant emotional rise to the team. On the January, 14th 2007 Rakhimov singed a contract with the club management. After that life of Amkar has changed sharply. The club could stay in the sport “top-drawer”, where it is very difficult to come back. And it is not easy to stay as well! The team got venerable stars, as well as young talents. The team became international. At first Amkar purchased Bulgarian half-back Georgiy Peyev, the participant of European championship, Champions League and UEFA Cup. Then they received first Hungarian Miklosh Gaal. Thus renewed team started very successfully, confidentially winning. Such a game of “Amkar” was already forgotten. Fans constantly exult for almost half the year. All the others are “frozen”, awaiting…kind of not usual, really.
CSCA (Central Sport Club of Army) Moscow basketball club won Russian basketball championship 2007. The army club conquered UNIKS in Kazan, scoring 78 points against 71, at the final game of man Super league play-off series.

During the first three quarters there was equal and stubborn struggle, the
both teams leaded periodically and then lost the advantage. But in the last

Kshishtof Lavrinovish, the Lithuanian center player of UNIKS, gained the biggest score of 20 points. CSCA became Russian Champion in 14th time!

Because of the club management petition the decision execution has been delayed several

Open heart Hannah-Louise Mobbs Love’s Bridge project coordinator: — I’ve always been interested in Russia and working for a charity here gives me the opportunity to see all sides of life here. We run projects for street children and teenagers, as well as kids from underprivileged families, orphanages and other government institutions. One of my responsibilities is developing a sponsor base here in the city. The charity sector in Perm is developing quite quickly and we hope that one day the project will be supported completely by local sponsors and companies.
«The world of equal abilities» Internation festival of disabled children creativity “The world of equal abilities” took place in Perm region on June, 1st-3rd.

Bridge to new life You have probably seen little homeless children. There are especially many of them at the central market. The stories of streets children are amazingly similar: cruel treatment, parents’ alcoholism or indifference, family breakup or insufficient help of children facilities are the common reasons of why a child chooses life on the streets, in the basements or abandoned houses. They don’t study anywhere, they live by their own rules, drink alcohol, sniff glue and steal. If there is nothing done for these children they will have typical future: jail, begging or prostitution. How can we help them to avoid such a fate? Traditional methods are not effective regarding homeless children. Firstly, adolescents stay in social facilities for the very short time: they run-away for “freedom” from fiscal treatment. Secondly, accordingly to data of General
Difficult children adaption is not just a charity. If you close our eyes at the problem, it will result in additional budget load. The problem is very urgent. If today there are 500 unemployed per 1000 employed, then after 10 years there is going to be 720 of unemployed ones. Procurator office, received after orphan asylums and boarding schools checking in several Russian regions, 40% of these facilities graduates become alcoholics and drug addicts, 40% become criminals, 10% commit suicide, and only 10% adapt to normal life.

Information The problem of homeless kids isn’t new in Russia. Number of the street children increased rapidly after the Russian Civil War. According to one source, in 1921 there were 4.5 millions of homeless children, another says that in 1922 there were 7 millions of them. At that time the problem was considered as a political problem. With the beginning of Great Domestic War number of homeless kids again started to grow, also children criminality problem appeared. New rise of homeless children number has been happening in Russia since the beginning of 1990’s. The factors caused it are economical crisis, unemployment, morally-psychological crisis, poverty, family crisis (moral values breaking, educational potential of the family weakening). Other reasons are the society criminalization, wide spread of new crimes for Russia (prostitution, drug dealing), implicating children to not legal activities. At the present time there is no full and reliable statistics on number of homeless children. Expert estimations have significant digit errors, what could be caused by used methods and reticence of the phenomenon. According to official data of Ministry of Internal Affairs, number of homeless people is 1 million (registered ones), another shows 4 millions, the most probable number is 2 millions. At the same time, during the last 12 years total number of children in Russia decreased by 14 million people.
bring them back to normal life in society. Love’s Bridge has developed a system of help, based on methods which proved their effectiveness in other countries with the same problems. First of all the volunteers get acquainted with the children in their environment (on the streets), gradually gaining their trust. Then children are invited to the day center “Children Without a Home”. Of course it is unrealistic to expect quick change in children who have lived on the streets for many months or even years. The majority of them still run away to the street for some time. To help to overcome all the difficulties and prepare to independent life long time is required. At the Love’s Bridge children are not just been fed and dressed up. Getting children from the street, helping them, preparing them to work, the project specialists and volunteers help them to break the circle of poverty and build their future.
Director of state youth politics, training and social protection department of Russian Education Ministry, Sergei Apatenko
Adolescents are helped to get back to schools, enter a college, where they can get simple professions such as painter, cook, plasterer, etc. The purpose of Love’s Bridge is to help every child to start his independent life when they are 18 years old.
The ways you can help: •Bring clothes, shoes, hygiene products, medicines, games, school goods to the address: 58 Chkalova Street and 13 Pushkina Street •Donations are transferable on the charity website: www.lbridge.org (Email: info@lbridge.org) •Give children your time and attention, helping as a volunteer
Life is a gift Charity program In the last year the number of emergency calls for children totaled in 54934. There is not enough of medical personnel because of low wages, the situation with equipment is even worse! During the last 4 months 4 kids died in Perm just in one single emergency team, which works with children of age less than 15 years old. Children reanimation anaesthetist team of the “Perm emergency station MUZ “PGSSMP””, working with children of age less than 15 years old, requires special transport reanimation equipment for artificially pulmonary ventilation with alarm system. Also they need the device, which allows to trace four important parameters such as pressure, pulse, blood oxygen level, EKG every second. That gives the ability of providing help on time, in the very minute. At this moment instead of APV emergency teams use manual devices (bags of manual pulmonary ventilation of AMBU type), and the required parameters are also measured manually. Provide any help to children, purchasing the required equipment for saving their lives. Be sure that they will receive necessary help. It is life for children! Today the only financing source of Perm emergency station MUZ “PGSSMP” is the budget. A donation can be transferred to the account of non-profit organization “Life is a gift”.

If you plan to start reading new Tatiana Ustinova novel “Well of forgotten wishes” (Eksmo, 2007), you take a risk of reading it till the very morning.
“Cargo 200”
The characters will be introduced to you easily and gently. You will soon realize that all the heroes, being introduced separately, are going to gather at the same scene altogether to perform a delicate psychological intrigue with detective line. It seems that all what happens to Oleg Petrovich, the main character, is fated from the high. At antique store of Vasiliy Dmitrievich, his old friend, he suddenly finds unique things, one of them is an icon, which is so attractive that he wants to become its only owner. At the same place he meets with another antique store client. The young lady, who in the beginning provoked contradictory feelings of disturbing and interest, will soon accompany him in the most strained situations. He is given with choice: does he or does he not need new life with new woman. But there is not enough time to think Reader do not have to make any efforts to see the whole picture. Ustinova knows how to “turn the screen on” with vivid descriptions of bad weather, restaurant décor, splendid interior of a car, weight of precious antique case, taste of a drink, and many, many other things, necessary for total perception of the whole book. Even the most pretentious readers will admire the book, if only they accept it as just entertainment.
Nelly Savenkova “Samoborets”(Perm book publishing house, 2007). There is a small town of Solikamsk, on the north of Perm region, which recently celebrated its 575 birthday. As well as France is discovered by us with help of Dumas novels, Solikamsk history of Ivan IV the terrible times can be found in “Samoborets” novel. It seems like as if the author traveled with time-machine to XVI century, because the facts, life, feelings, characters and emotions portrayed so vivid and real in the book. The idea of time-machine is not casual: Savenkova, a museum worker, studied enormous quantity of archive documents and goods of that age. Finely mixing all the facts with fiction, the author created a unique book of historical fantasy style, reading which is a great pleasure.

one. “Cargo 200” is rated for people “older than 21”, what is really rare in Russia, but still it is nonsense, because nobody really should watch this film.
Aleksey Balabanov. Starring: Agnia Kuznetsova, Leonid Gromov, Sergei Aleksandrov and others. The USSR. Non accidental 1984. The end of soviet age. Province. Daughter of the party region committee secretary disappears after discotheque. There are no eye-witnesses. There are no guilty ones. A terrible murder happens the same evening in house at the town outskirts. Offender is the house owner. Both investigations are given to police captain Zhurov… This movie provokes countless number of moral and ethical grudges, and it can be discussed to the end of times. The most evident line is that the director shows soviet regime as a maniac, and then equals 1984 and today. To put it mildly, “Cargo 200” is horrible to death. The biggest grudge is that doesn’t have any light in the end, even very dim
“Messengers”
Music
this kind of music. The main thing about it is that it contains 21 Jerry Lee Lewis hits performed by him with stars of the rock, blues, country and pop music. Some of the guest stars, like Bruce Springsteen in «Pink Cadillac» or Mick Jagger in «Evening Gown», contributed their vocals to duos with Lewis. Others, like Jimmy Page in «Rock and Roll» or Eric Clapton in «Trouble in Mind», played guitar. And there were those who did both, like Keith Richards

Anna Netrebko Sempre libera Anna Netrebko, the Russian singer of Mariinskiy theatre, sings arias from Puccini, Bellini, Donizetti and Verdi operas. The second solo-album of the opera diva was recorded in Italy with Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Anna’s fame came to Russia from Europe, but it’s not really important, when there is such a wonderful voice and such a stunning beauty, that we can call her “Audrey Hepburn with voice”.
Jerry Lee Lewis «Last Man Standing» This is not a regular classic rock’n’roll record, although it will definitely please those who like
Danny Pang, Oksid Pang Chun. Starring: Christen Stuart, Dilan McDermott, Penelopa Ann Miller, John Korbett. United family from Chicago with dreary father, hysterical mother, young lady and 3-years old boy, who can’t speak for some reason moves to abandoned rural house to grow sunflowers and apparently to recover from some unpleasant incident. They prefer not to notice that
for «That Kind of Fool». And, of course, Lewis’ voice and piano is present on all the tracks. The album is Lewis’ first record in ten years and it sounds quite fresh and contemporary, despite the fact that most of the songs were written long ago.
Teddybears Soft Machine This hybrid rock band and DJ electronica hails from Sweden and bears
local ravens act strangely, suspicious stains appear on walls all by themselves, floor boards creak unnaturally, and sometimes blue hands crawls from the basement. When ghosts begin to act very aggressive, young lady tries to alert the parents, until it’s too late. But obviously they don’t believe her. “Shrek the Third” Shrek the Third is out! Based on fairy tales and the Arthurian myth from Britain, it is the sequel to «Shrek 2,» which was the sequel to «Shrek.» Anyways, Shrek and Fiona are watching over their kingdom of Far Far Away now that King Harold is a frog. However, Shrek feels that he never cares about his friends. When King Harold falls ill and is dying, Shrek and Fiona determine that if they can find a suitable heir to the throne of Far Far Away they can leave their current lifestyles and return to their beloved swamp. The most promising candidate for the position of king is Fiona’s cousin, Arthur (Artie) who proves
to be a big problem. So on it goes... On a side note, Mike Myers, who is the voice of Shrek, is an outstanding guy – not the least because he has the last letter ever written by Beatle George Harrison. It was given to Myers very shortly after Harrison’s death while Meyer’s film Gold¬member (2002) was in production. The letter compliments him on the Austin Powers movies. Myers is also famous for his character Austin Powers – so it seems that the Shrek role is completely within his sphere. The movie is recommended for Sunday with your family and friends.
Koop «Koop Islands» The musical style of Koop, a Stockholm-based duo of Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson, could be loosely defined as nu-jazz. Inspired primarily by jazz, swing and dance-hall orchestra music from between the 1920s to the 1950s, these influences from various two Swedes released music styles, from US their debut album, Waltz hardcore of the 1980s to for Koop, in 2001. Now Romanian gypsy brass they are back with a CD, bands, from grindcore to where electronic sounds Phil Spector’s «wall of complement those created sound.» The band actuby a range of acoustic ally owes Spector its instruments. On the one name. In the 1950s he had hand, this is light and a band called The Tedeasy listening, but, on the dybears. The mixture of other hand, Koop was able various styles and sound to authentically recreate techniques resulted in an atmosphere of a few «some twisted kind of decades before, which the hardcore-punk with a DJ vast majority of the band’s making extra noise on a audience know only from pair of turntables,» as the movies. The vocal tracks band itself puts it. But this on the album feature many description is not accurate endowed singers, such as for all the tracks on the Yukimi Nagano or Mikael band’s debut album Soft Sundin, contributing Machine, as some tracks richness of their voices to have nice tunes and a the diverse instrumental pronounced pop sound, patterns of each song. including «Punkrocker,» with vocals by Iggy Pop. The record also features several other guest vocalists, including Jamaican MCs Elephant Man on «Are You Feelin’ It» and Mad Cobra on «Cobrastyle.»

Das Stadtfest begann mit der Eröffnung der Ruhmallee auf dem Memorialplatz “Die Einheit von Front und Hinterland”. Die erste am Stadttag installierte Denkplatte wurde Wassiliy Tatischew gewidmet. Die Idee in Perm eine Ruhmallee zu gründen haben die Ortsbehörden fast zwei Jahre im Kopf getragen und die Installierung der ersten Platte soll ein Beginn für die Erscheinung der anderen Errinnerungsabzeichen über die berühmte Stadtleute sein. Den Karnevalszug, mit dem in Perm schon mehrere Jahre der Stadttag eröffnet wird, gab es diesmal nicht. “Was aus dem Karneval in der letzten Zeit geworden ist passt uns absolut nicht, – erklärt der Ausschussvorsitzende für Kultur und Kunst der Stadtadministration Aleksei Rodin. – Das Ver-
hältnis der Werbung und des Schaffens darin muss 1% gegen 99% sein und nicht umgekehrt”. Voriges Jahr haben die Stadtbehörden den Permbewohner angeboten selbständig zu erfinden, wie der Karnevalszug am Stadttag sein soll. Diese Idee hat aber kein Ergebnis gebracht. Nächstes Jahr wird die Stadt Perm ihr 285 Jahrestag feiern und die Stadtbehörden versprechen zu der Tradition den Stadttag mit dem Karneval zu eröffnen zurückzukehren. Aber wie der sein wird, ist noch nicht klar. Die Haupvorschrift, die wir bei der Feierorganisation befolgen werden ist das Verkaufsverbot von allen Alkoholgetränken am Platz des Massenspazierganges. Am Stadttag in den Verkaufsbuden neben den Konzertplätzen wurde sogar kein Fassbier verkauft.
Die Feier wurde so gemacht, um die Leute von verschiedenem Alter zu vereinigen. Für die Kleinsten sind am Schauspielhaus die Zirkusleute aufgetreten, gegen Abend “für die, die über …” spielte nostalgische Musik und in der Parkanlage neben Opernhaus spielten Blaskapellen, für die Jugend – flotte russische Musikgruppen. In der Parkanlage der Uraler Freiwilliger am Tage haben die Maler gemalt, sind die Dichter aufgetreten and die Darsteller ihre eigene Lieder gesungen. Alle Leute, die zur Esplanade am 12 Juni gekommen sind, haben die Abzeichen und die Autoaufkleber mit der Symbolik des 284-stes Jahrestages der Permgründung gekriegt. Die Feier wurde, wie üblich mit Feuerwerk beendet.
Auskunft
Am 12 Juni feiert die Stadt Perm ihr 284-stes Geburtstag. Perm, wie auch viele uraler Städte begann mit einem Werk. Die erste Erwähnung der permer Siedlungen gehört zur XVII Jahrhundert – in den Zählungsbücher von dem Feldherr Prokopiy Elisarow für das Jahr1647 steht geschrieben “Siedlung auf dem Fluss Kama mit Bauernhöfen”. In den Schenkungsbücher für Stroganov Land im1692 wird diese Siedlung schon das Dorf Yegoschiha genannt. Als das Geburtsdatum von Perm zählt der Gründungstag des Kupferwerkes nicht weit von der Mündung von Yegoschiha in die Kama – 4 (15) Mai 1723. Die vorbereitende Entwicklung und Platzwahl brachte zur Ausführung der Erdkundler, Geschichtsforscher und Bergmann Wassiliy Nikititsch Tatischew, der auf Anordnung von Peter der Ersten nach Ural geschickt wurde. Unter der Leitung von Tatischew wurde das Werk gebaut. Im 1734 wird die Siedlung des Yegoschiha Werkes zum Verwaltungszentrum des Permer Bergbaubezirkes. Im 1780 verabschiedete Katherine II einen Erlass, in dem stand: “Als Anerkennung der Nützlichkeit der Lage des Yegoschiha Werkes und die Tauglichkeit dieses Platzes für die Stiftung hier einer Gouvernmental Stadt, befehlen wir diese Gouvernmental Stadt für Permer Statthalterschaft auf diesem Platz zu gründen und dieser Stadt den Namen Perm geben”.

W. Putin: Sieben Jahre — das ist ganz akzeptabel
s ist sinnvoll die Amtsperiode des russischen Präsidenten bis auf fünf-sieben Jahre zu verlängern, aber die Zahl der Perioden muss begrenzt werden. “Auf der Bundesebene braucht man zwei Jahre um sich nur mit den bundeseinheitlichen and internationalen Problemen Bekannt zu machen”, — denkt der Präsident. Der Präsident ist der Meinung, dass vier Jahre fьr Russland — “ gewiss eine zu kurze Frist ist”. “Jedenfalls für das heutige Russland fünf, sechs oder sieben Jahre sind ganz annehmbar”, — ist das Staatsoberhaupt überzeugt. Er unterstrich aber, dass die Begrenzung der Amtsperioden des Präsidenten gehalten werden muss. “Ich denke, dass die Amtsperiodenbegrenzung doch richtig ist”, — erklärte W. Putin. W. Putin erinnerte daran, dass bevor er als Präsident gewählt wurde, war er schon der Staatsvorsitzender “und im Bilde von Erlebnissen des Landes, in den Beschlussfassung miteinbezogen”. “Und wenn ein anderer kommt, nehmen wir an, irgendein Gouverneur gewählt wird, so wird er auf der Bundese-
bene zwei Jahre brauchen, um sich nur mit den bundeseinheitlichen and internationalen Problemen Bekannt zu machen. Und doch müssen wir schon eine neue Wahlkampagne beginnen”, — sagte der Präsident. Das Thema der Verlängerung der Amtsperiode des Präsidenten wurde mehrmals von den russischen Politikern berührt. Aber die meiste Aufmerksamkeit schenkte es der Speaker der Föderationsrat Sergei Mironow, der nicht nur für die Verlängerung der Vollmacht des Staatsoberhauptes, aber auch für die dritte Amtsperiode von Putin war. Er hatte sogar nach alle Regionen die Briefe mit dem Vorschlag die “informelle Beratungen zu diesem Thema durch-
zuführen” geschickt. Aber vor einigen Tagen brachte Mironow der “Wedomosti” zur Anzeige, dass nach dem Wunsch des Präsidenten dieses Thema geschlossen wurde und schlug vor es auf fünf Jahre zu verschieben. So Mironow, für den Präsidenten, der 2012 gewählt wird, wird die Amtsperiode nicht vier, sondern 5-7 Jahre dauern. Nach dieser Zeit werden die “Leute bestimmen, ob der Präsident für eine neue Amtsperiode gewählt wird oder sagen: wir brauchen einen anderen Präsidenten”. Obwohl die Abänderungsprozedur der Verfassung mehrere Ebenen hat und nicht einfach ist, ist es durchaus möglich, die Abänderungen betreffend der Verlängerung der Amtsperiode noch vor der Präsidentenwahl im März 2008 durchzuführen, - meint der ehemalige Mitglied der Zentralen Wahlkommission, der Jurist Wjatscheslaw Sitnik. Nach seinen Worten alle Begrenzungen nur mit der verkündeten Kampagne verbunden sind: es ist unmöglich eine neue Amtsperiode des Präsidenten festzulegen nur nach dem Zeitpunkt, als offiziell der Anfang der Präsidentenwahl erklärt wird und das passiert erst in Dezember.

n Perm wurde ein richterlicher Beschluss gegen Internet-Aktivisten Igor Artemjew gefasst. Er hat eine Internet-Aktion „Wir trauen über Permer Straßen“ mit Hilfe vom Forum Permer Autofahrer www.teron.ru organisiert.
Die Teilnehmer des Forums haben mehrmals die Frage über die ungenügenden Zustand der Straßen in Perm gestellt und die Vorschläge über verschiedene Protestaktionen gemacht. Auf dem Forum konnte man zum Beispiel die Sammellisten mit dem Schreiben an dem Gouverneur Permer Region finden, die Kommission „der gesellschaftlichen Kontrolle der zweckgebundenen Ausgabe der Wegsteuer“ zu gründen. Es wurde auch vorgeschlagen, die Verwaltung des Verkehrssicherheitsdienstes mit mehreren Eingaben über den Ausnahmezustand der Straßen anzugreifen. Die vorgestellte Form sah so aus: „In Laufe von 10 Tagen beobachte ich die Beschädigung der Straßendecke in Form einer Grube, deren Größe den Staatsstandard R 50597-93... überschreitet“. Der grösste Erfolg der Teilnehmer dieses Forums war die gemeinsam mit der Gesellschaft der Autofah-
rerunterstützung (GAU) durchgeführte Protestaktion am 7. April im Perm. An der Aktion haben 700 Autofahrer teilgenommen, obwohl die Organisatoren haben erst mit 100 Teilnehmer gerechnet. Die überraschend große Zahl der Protestierenden wurde zum Anlass zum Verhängen über Igor Artemjew einer Disziplinarstrafe von
1,5 Tausend Rubel. Die Aktion selbst hatte Erfolg: die Vertreter der GAU und des Forums www.teron.ru sind jetzt in der Kommission der gesellschaftlichen Kontrolle der Straßenbau- und Erhaltungsarbeiten in Perm. Der Präzedenzfall existiert doch: aktiver Bürger kann bestraft werden, wenn die Stadteinwohner seinen Rufen wirklich folgen.

Juni geplant. Die Regionsvisitenkarte wird bis Dezember dieses Jahres vorbereitet. Die Behörden der Permer Region nehmen die Frage der Investitionsbonität ihrer Region sehr Ernst an. In der Kamaregion hat die Regionsadministration eine Agentur für die Investitionsunterstützung der Permer Region geschaffen.
Business “auf russische Weise“ Der russische Nationalcharakter wurde wie jeder andere vorwiegend mit Prägung von Zeit und Raum gebildet. Die Geschichte und geografische Lage gehören zu den entscheidenden Faktoren. Die Jahrhunderten der Kriegsgefahr haben das Patriotismus und die Zuneigung zu starker zentraler Macht im Charakter der Russen bedingt, strenge Klimabedingungen haben die Notwendigkeit gemeinsam zu leben und Hand in Hand zu arbeiten und unendliche Weiten – einen besonderen russischen Schwung geprägt. Trotzt der Formalität von solchen Zusammenfassungen kann man im russischen Nationalcharakter doch bestimmte Gesetzmäßigkeiten und allgemeine Züge auszeichnen
Zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen Eine der Eigenschaften des russischen Nationalcharakters ist der Kollektivismus. Es ist Sitte, die wichtigsten Fragen zusammen zu lösen, zusammen zu handeln um die Prinzipien der Gerechtigkeit einzuhalten. Sogar private Familienfragen werden in Konfliktsituationen zur allgemeinen Diskussion gestellt. Das Prinzip der gegenseitigen Unterstützung ist für die Russen wichtiger als der Selbsterhaltungstrieb. Das Kollektivismusgefühl lässt die Russen sich ganz einfach in private Sachen von ihren Bekannten, Nachbarn und einfach der Passanten einmischen. Wundern Sie sich nicht, die Russen sind es gewohnt “gute Ratschläge“ von Unbekannten zu bekommen. Die Gefühle des Kollektivismus und der Bruderschaft haben auch andere Eigenschafte russischen Nationalcharakters verursacht. Zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen in Russland tragen einen informellen, zwanglosen Charakter, und Freundschaft wird sehr hoch geschätzt. Sie sollen bereit sein, auf das einfache “wie geht’s?“ einen ausführlichen Bericht von Ihrem russischen Bekannten zu bekommen. Formelle small talks und
weltgewandte Beziehungen den russischen Leuten fern und haben wenig Sinn. Versuchen Sie in der Unterhaltung mit den Russen Ihre menschliche Seite, Ihre Gefühle und Bestrebungen, Hoffnungen und Zuneigungen zu zeigen. Für Ihre russische Partner sind Ihre persönliche Ziele viel interessanter als Ihre Geschäftspläne. Um das Kredit des Vertrauens von den Russen zu bekommen, muss man es lernen, mit ihnen offenherzig zu sprechen. Die Gefühlswahrnehmung des Lebens zeigt sich der in russischern Kultur als Bedarf in nahen menschlichen Kontakten. Am schwersten ist es für die russischen Leute, den alltäglichen Schlendrian, die Eintönigkeit und Einförmigkeit auszuhalten. Davon, was der normale Europäer wie Stabilität und Ruhe einschätzt, kann der Russe in Niedergeschlagenheit geraten. Die Russen sind “berührungsempfindlich“, sie mögen es, mit den Sachen in Kontakt zu kommen und sie materiell zu empfinden. Staunen Sie nicht, wenn ihre russische Kollegen Ihnen beim Treffen zu intensiv die Hand drücken, an Schultern klopfen, oder Sie im Gespräch fast berühren und sich zu nah zu Ihnen setzen. In der steigernden Begeisterung im Gespräch können sie die in Europa übliche Kontaktdistanz überschreiten. Das kann nur Gutes bedeuten: es ist für sie sehr interessant, sich mit Ihnen zu unterhalten und sie wollen keine kleine Einzelheit des Gesprächs außer Acht lassen. Wenn Sie wollen gute Beziehungen mit Ihren russische Partnern und Kollegen bauen, vergessen Sie nicht über solche gute russische Eigenschaften wie Mitleid und Mitgefühl zum Körperoder Seelenschmerz anderer Menschen und Bereitschaft zur Hilfe. Deshalb verheimlichen Sie Ihre Probleme nicht, wie Sie es sich vielleicht gewöhnt haben, in Ihrem Land zu machen. Denken Sie an diese Eigenschaften, wenn Sie Ihre Tätigkeit mit russischen Kollegen organisieren wollen. Kritisieren Sie sie nicht, sondern bekommen Sie den Nutzen davon.

Tourismus Der Bau von Eisenbahnlinie “Belkomur” D
as Bauvorhaben der Eisenbahnlinie “Weiße Meer – Коmi – Ural” (Belkomur) wurde in 1996 von der Administration der drei Subjekte der RF: Republik Komi, Archangelsk Gebiet und Permer Region geplant. Es wurde vorgesehen, dass die Linie den Weg von Sibirien und Ural zu den Häfen von Archangelsk, Murmansk und Finnland um die 800 Kilometer kürzer machen wird. Die Länge der Linie muss 1,3 Tausend km sein, davon 391 Kilometer auf dem Territorium der Kamaregion verlaufen wird. Seit dem Baubeginn wurden 30 Kilometer der Eisenbahnlinie gebaut. Das Endausbaukosten wird um 100 Milliarden Rubel eingeschätzt. Aber, wie es aussieht ist die Sache ins Rollen gekommen. Der Transport-
minister der RF Igor Lewitin unterstützte die Erneuerung der Bauführung der Eisenbahnlinie «Belkomur». Der Minister hat den Stand des Investierungsprojektes “Belkomur” auf dem XI Internationalen ökonomischen Forum in Sankt Petersburg besucht. “Das Bauen von “Belkomur” ist sehr notwendig, weil wir damit den Güterstrom aus Permer Region nach Finnland und dadurch auch zu dem europäischen Weltmarkt bedeutend erhöhen werden”, – unterstrich der russische Transportminister. Lewitin sagte auch, dass er den Projekt «Belkomur» völlig unterstützt und hofft, dass schon in der nächsten Zeit seine Realisierung anfangen wird. Am Vorabend haben der Gouverneur von Permer Region Oleg Tschirkunow und der Gouverneur von Murmansk Gebiet Verhand-
lungen durchgeführt. Auf dem Treffen wurden die Perspektive der Teilnahme von Murmansk Gebiet im Projekt “Belkomur” besprochen. Wie Oleg Tschirkunow nach dem Treffen sagte, sind die Verhandlungen erfolgreich durchgelaufen, der Gouverneur von Murmansk Gebiet Juri Ewdokimow hatte die Interesse an dem Projekt gezeigt. Die Investierungssumme in den Projekt «Belkomur» wird von 50 bis 100 Milliarden Rubel betragen. Es wird geplant den Bau in 2008 fortzusetzen. Das Projekt wird im Rahmen der staatlich-privaten Partnerschaft auf Kosten der russischen föderalen Investitionsfonds realisiert. Das Komplettpaket der Dokumente and die Anforderung für das Projekt “Belkomur” werden an die staatliche Investitionsausschuss schon im Herbst übergeben.
SAGEN UND WAHRE GESCHICHTEN DER EISHÖHLE Teil 1. Walentin Rapp
Autor der Bücher «Reiseführer für Kungur und Kungur Eishöhle», «Sagen und wahre Geschichten der Kungur Eishöhle »
Kungur Eishöhle ohne falsche Bescheidenheit ist der Pionier des russischen Tourismus. Obwohl es in unserer Zeit in Russland schon mehr als 11 gut eingerichtete Höhlen gibt, bleibt sie wie früher ein Favorit des Höhlentourismus. Darum ist es kein Wunder, dass sie jedes Jahr von mehr als 90 Tausend Leuten besucht wird. Ihre offizielle Zeitrechnung als ein Tourismusobjekt beginnt seit Sommer 1914, als Alexander Chlebnikow sie bei einer örtlichen Bauerngemeinde für 300 Rubel auf 12 Jahre in Pacht genommen hat und die Touristen zu führen begann. Aber wenn wir berücksichtigen, dass der Archäologe I.S.Poljakow, der die Höhle am Ende des 19. Jahrhundert besuchte, über den örtlichen Reiseführer Romanowski schrieb, der über 60 Jahre alt war und 40 davon die Neugierige geführt hatte, können wir ruhig über 150–160 Jahre sprechen seitdem die Eishöhle von den Touristen besuch wird. (Ich bemerke, dass in Europe als Begründer des Tourismus Thomas Cook gilt, der im 1843 in London die erste Reisebüro geöffnet hat. Und in
Russland beginnt die offizielle Zeitrechnung des Tourismus im 1885, als in Petersburg das “Geschäft für gesellschaftliche Reisen nach alle Länder der Welt” gegründet wurde, das meistens mit den europäischen Länder bekannt machte.). Es ist interessant zu bemerken, dass als erste Touristen A. Chlebnikow die echte Prinzessin Victoria von Battenberg mit ihrer Tochter Louise in Sommer 1914 hatte. Sie war die ältere Schwester der letzten russischen Kaiserin Alexandra Fjodorowna Romanova – der Gattin von Nikolai II und reiste auf dem Ural mit ihrer Schwester der Großfürstin Elisaweta Fjodorowna. Mit diesem Besuch sind in
unserer Höhle die Stufen aus Anhydrit verbunden, die sogenannte «Damentränen», wo die Prinzessen mehrmals gefallen sind und geweint hatten. Mehr als das, wie die Legende sagt, hat sich die Prinzessin Louise auf diesen Stufen den Knie geschlagen, später aber, als sie erwachsen war den schwedischen Prinz Gustav IV geheiratet hatte und die schwedische Königin wurde. Seitdem existiert in unserer Eishöhle das Anzeichen, dass nur das ledige Mädchen, das ihr Knie auf den «Damentränen» geschlagen hat, den Traum von jedem Mädchen – für sich einen Prinzen zu finden verwirklichen kann.
