New York’s Lark Play Development Center & Moscow’s Lyubimovka Festival recently conspired to have several great American plays be translated and adapted for the Russian stage. I was tapped to translate and adapt Arthur Kopit’s “Wings.” After Arthur and the other playwrights participating in the workshop flew in, we took my first draft and worked on the adaptation together, alongside director Daniel Romanov and a wonderful cast with the great Varvara Pushkarskaya in the lead.

There are several myths about Russia, they come from different sources but have no actual proof. They are wide spread not only among foreigners but among Russians too. I think it is rather interesting to find out more about Russian culture and history and get rid of usual myths. I will consider the wide spread myths: Russians drink vodka, Russians' laziness, Russians' tyranny and blood-thirstiness.

In the last half a year, Russia-IC team members have worked hard delivering the great new stories to you. It's time to round up this stage and see, what's waiting down the line.

Who is Vasilyeva? A hero who was brave enough to make a stand against the system? Betrayer committed a bad crime, having let her boss down and discredited all the Russian system of law? Was it provocation or showing lack of determination?

Almost one in three Russians – 29 per cent – frequently feel ashamed of Russia. And 64 per cent admit they feel no pride in their motherland.

Violence against foreigners has been steadily growing in Russia for years. People who lived in one country for decades have now become foes and more and more reports on interethnic crimes in Russia appear in the media.

Biotechnology is a young science and we still do not know all possible consequences of bringing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to various natural ecosystems. Methods of biotechnology may unintentionally do harm to Earth’s biosphere and human health. Biosafety aims at reducing the potential risks resulting from biotechnology and its products.

The Red Square, St. Basil`s Cathedral, Tretyakov Gallery, the Bolshoi Theatre are amongst the “standard” must-see attractions in Moscow for a foreign traveller. However, there is a number of places in Moscow foreign tourists are rarely shown. One of them is restricted USSR military object – Secured Command Post «Taganskiy» (GO-42), located 65 meters underground.

All Russian news channels are now featuring the radiant and seductive beauty Dima Bilan, a new Russian people’s hero. Have you seen him creeping there onstage? You like it?

The title Free Floating says almost nothing of the film; neither is the initial title Road Works more speaking. The film director Boris Khlebnikov dislikes both the titles: “The genre of parable is extremely vexing. I always want to film simple stories. About Vasya, or about Petya…”

A couple of decades ago Soviet people were regarded as the most reading all over the world. Inexorable statistics confirmed this fact. Frankly speaking, that was true: in parks, underground stations or buses one could come across people reading newspapers, books and magazines.

Moscow has always been known for its theatres and there‘s a variety of old, well-known and new, modern theatres you can go to.

This is real Russia, where ancient and Soviet traditions form a harmonious union - strange as it may seem. Luckily, it was not disfeatured by the communists.

What can one expect from a comic book screening describing near future, fascist government, fight for the human rights? Altogether it sounds like a not so good idea, used many times before. But that‘s just a wrapper.
