New Russian President Dmi-

try Medvedev visits Germany on 5th June on his first official trip to Western Europe, one that will be closely watched for signs of Moscow`s future ties with its European Union neighbors.

medvedev, sworn in last month, will address economic and energy questions when he meets german chan-cellor angela merkel, but the two leaders are also set to talk about divisive interna-tional issues including Kosovo`s indepen-dence.

«the distinguish-ing characteristic in russian-german cooperation has been the determination to seek points of contact, the ability for compro-mise and to overcome whatever issues arise,» a Kremlin source told reuters.

medvedev`s prede-cessor vladimir putin opposed the West on issues such as inde-pendence for Kosovo and u.s. plans to

deploy elements of its missile defense system in europe.

the conservative merkel, a pastor`s daughter from com-munist east germany, has also been outspo-ken about russia`s democratic record and openly scolded putin at a summit last year for stopping opposi-tion figures taking part in a rally.

merkel has taken a tougher line over russia`s rights record than both her prede-

cessor gerhard schro-eder and her social democratic Foreign minister Frank-Walter steinmeier, a poten-tial challenger in next year`s general elec-tion.

«i am convinced that russian-german economic relations can be developed in many areas and that we can make a contri-bution to the mod-ernization of russia in many areas,» said merkel, who speaks fluent russian.

germany is russia`s leading trading part-ner with annual turn-over of $53 billion. the two countries are building a pipeline under the baltic sea to deliver siberian gas to europe.

«russia is ready to cooperate with germa-ny not only in extract-ing and transporting oil and gas, but also in electric and nu-clear energy, energy machine-building,» medvedev`s chief foreign policy adviser,

sergei prikhodko, was quoted as saying by interfax.

russia was prepared to broaden coopera-tion with germany in the energy sector and was ready to discuss major joint projects in general terms during medvedev`s visit to berlin, he said.

officials said the two leaders would also discuss the russia-eu summit later this month, which is set to launch talks on a new partnership pact map-ping out long-term relations on issues ranging from energy to visas and trade.

«germany has a very serious, some-times tough, but very pragmatic position on issues concerning deepening dialogue between russia and the european union,» prikhodko said.

eu external rela-tions commissioner benita Ferrero-Waldner has said the summit will be an opportunity to take the temperature of relations with russia.

INDEX

This coming weekend marks the start of a new era for air travellers. From 1 June 2008, only electronic tickets will be issued for Lufthansa flights as well as for flights operated by all other IATA airlines. The decision to phase out paper tickets in the airline industry was made back in 2004 as part of IATA’s “Simplifying the business” initiative. Electronic tickets offer customers considerable advantages while at the same time providing an opportunity for airlines to save costs. Furthermore, the switch to electronic tickets will benefit the environment. According to IATA, abolishing paper tickets means that 50,000 fewer trees will need to be felled each year.

In future, after making a reservation, Lufthansa passengers will not receive a paper ticket, but will instead be issued with an electronic ticket, or etix. With an etix, passengers can use the convenient online check-in service and print out their own boarding pass at home, or collect it at one of the 350 Check-in terminals at airports. Thanks to the latest service innovations, they can also have an electronic

boarding pass sent to them by email or by SMS to an Internet-compatible mobile phone. Without etix, none of these services would be possible.

On 1 June, when the IATA ruling goes into effect, virtually all Lufthansa tickets will be issued as etix. Passengers will therefore no longer have a choice between a paper and an electronic ticket. Paper tickets issued before 1 June will, however, retain their validity. With an anticipated take-up rate of more than 98 per cent, Lufthansa exceeds the industry average rate of 96.5 per cent that IATA has targeted for that date. In comparison: at the end of 2004, at the launch of the IATA initiative, Lufthansa had achieved a 45 per cent take-up rate.

In order to increase the share of electronic tickets, about 80 partner airlines have been integrated into the electronic interlining system: More than 200 Lufthansa stations worldwide have switched to etix and all the technical booking and check-in functions in the relevant systems have been adapted. Station staff has undergone intensive training to prepare for the introduction of the new system. Over the next few months, the remaining interline partners will be linked to the system and further IT adjustments will be made.

The head of Russian natural gas giant

JSC Gazprom`s export division accused the head of the Interna-tional Energy Agency of attempting to “de-stroy” the company by organizing European governments to thwart Gazprom`s interests.

iea executive direc-tor claude mandil has sent a letter to euro-pean governments rec-ommending they resist gazprom`s attempts to expand downstream

into europe and that they jointly pressure gazprom to aban-don its monopoly on russian natural gas exports, alexander medvedev told journal-ists in an interview in his moscow office, ac-cording to the report.

mandil sent a letter to ministers of in-dustry and energy of european countries “calling on the euro-pean union to pres-sure russia and actu-ally destroy gazprom, including its export

monopoly,” medvedev was quoted as saying.

mandil has called on gazprom to open up its gas export pipelines to other gas producers and questioned whether it is investing enough in developing its reserves to meet com-mitments to its euro-pean customers.

medvedev said the company would have no problems meeting demand in the future.

the governor sug-gests creating the best conditions on the territory of the airport and adjacent territory for the citizens and guests of the Krai. and it is possible, in spite of the restric-tions of the transport office of public pros-ecutor and the pattern of ownership of the airport. the develop-ment of this traffic centre was discussed today on the meeting in “bolshoe savino”.

the governor ex-

amined the airport land side and ut-tered an opinion, that the transport must have an opportunity to drive directly to the entrance in the airport. then he went to the check-point of the boundary control, which is now modern-ized, examined new international route waiting hall, observed the procedure of admission and recep-tion of the passengers through the “green corridor”, who came with the international flight.

the building of the airport is now un-

der reconstruction. the Krai’s budget provisioned 80 mil-lion rubles for this purpose. besides the reconstruction of the building, the interior is being modernized. in the international flights hall 6 new check-points of boundary control are installed, a new system of boundary control “Kaskad” is assembled, new portable radio sta-tion (walkie-talkies) are bought, cctv and security systems updated.

in 2007 “bolshoe savino” was used by

542 thousand pas-sengers (1,5 times more that in previous year). during the first quarter of the current year 131 thousand passengers walked through the check-points.

today the main problem for the administration is to make the airport Krai’s property. For the present moment it is located on the acres of 3 owners. one of them is perm district, another one is a private person and the last owner is the russian Federation itself. this fact slows down the reconstruc-tion process. “We are looking for an inves-tor under the con-tract, so that the land would be assigned to him, further the ques-tion will be decided with the government of perm Krai”, – says mr. shtatskiy.

“Uralkaliy” installs new

seismological moni-toring system in Berezniki.

“Uralkaliy” allocated 3 million rubles for the purchase of the system which will provide efficient monitoring of seismic activity and prices forecasting.

The need for constant complex monitoring

of the ground surface arose after the accident at the first mine pit of the company in october 2006.

South-African company ISS International Ltd, a specialist in the field of seismic monitoring system, provided “Uralkaliy” with necessary equipment. The seismic sensors were installed in January 2007

in the area of possible soil subsidence at the first mine pit and proved to be very efficient: they showed increased seismic activity in the area several days before the new subsidence. Unlike the sensors that were used earlier, new ones show not only vertical but also horizontal vibration. This will allow receiving more detailed information

about the state of subsurface areas. The system includes 12 sensors, placed in the special wells 70 meters deep. The sensors send the information about the underground processes in real time directly to Berezniki branch of Institute of Mines of Russian Academy of Sciences.

WhaT does The GovernmenT need?WhaT does The business WanT?

Business joins hands with the

government to solve common problems together. “The Day of Businessman in Perm Krai” took place in Perm having gathered nearly 500 representa-tives from different regions of Perm Krai.

according to perm Krai governor oleg chirkunov, the devel-opment of business undertakings has been marked by the presi-dent of russia as one of the most important objectives. however, it is necessary to deter-mine accurate param-eters of the govern-ment’s interference in business affairs.

– today we have to understand how close these relations should be and what form they should take.

One of the offered forms of association of business and govern-

ment Krai is the web-site www.g2b.perm.ru («government to business»), which pre-sentation took place in the context of the forum.

another form is per-sonal meeting.

– i am ready to meet you as may be necessary, – said the governor. – the main thing is to understand what the government needs and what the business wants. only in this case there will

be a real benefit.then by means of

“public microphone” the governor an-swered the questions of businessmen on such issues as: what the “business incu-bator” is, how the system of crediting works, where one can get an opinion on tourism development, how energy rates are calculated for small- and medium-scale business, etc.

in the context of the

forum experts present-ed speeches on busi-ness funding, micro-crediting, investment, market tendencies and vacant business niches, creation of “business incubators”.

the forum “the day of business-man in perm Krai” was triggered by the ministry of com-merce and business development of perm Krai in the context of the day of russian businessman.

Turkish “Kraatli Ltd” is planning

to construct a saw-mill in Komi-Per-myatsky Area with total investments volume of 50 million USD.

under the five-year project, “Kraatli ltd” is going to build a saw-mill and a ply-wood plant, which will produce building materials, furniture, plywood and other goods.

the other day representatives of the company and of the regional ministry of natural resources have visited Komi-

permyatsky autono-mous area in search of a suitable building site for construct-ing the object. one of the best variants due to the opinions of the both parties is the territory on the border of two munici-pal formations – the city of Kudymkar and Kudymkar district. the area of the site is 80 hectares, and it is close to the federal road and high-voltage lines.

vice-premier said the perm Krai is a developed industrial region, which is in-terested in converting the raw materials on

the spot, but not sell-ing them to the third parties.

“the perm Krai government favors those investors who are engaged in deep processing of wood. this will give addi-tional opportunities for the development of out economic and social spheres: taxes to the budget, new working places,” – yuri utkin said.

it is planned to sign a protocol of intent between the govern-ment of perm Krai and “Kraatli ltd”, where the positions of the parties will be expounded.

The largest enter-prise of timber

industry in Komi-Per-myatsky Autonomous Area, limited liability company “Lesinvest”, is going to put “pel-lets” – fire-wood granules made from sawdust – in the mass production.

Now “Lesinvest” is modernizing the production lines. Two finish complexes for wood storage and preparation are installed. This will increase the volume of manufacture and create 40 additional working places. Today there are 400 workers in

the enterprise.It is planned to finish

the modernization by the end of the current year.

“Lesinvest” annually increases the amount of its production. In 2007 the increase in producing saw-timbers was 60%, in comparison with the previous year.

The plan for ef-ficient use of

Perm Krai’s forests for the next 10 years will be finished by august. National law demands such plans from all the subjects of Russian Federa-tion.

the conception of a “Forest plan 2008-2017” is still under development. the elaboration of the plan presupposes the analysis of the pres-ent situation with the forestry of the Krai, creation of a plan for efficient use of this forestry, forest conservation, repro-duction of resources and cost efficiency studies.

such plans are now being developed in all the regions of russia, later on they will be counseled by the ministry of natural resources of russian Federation.

effective manage-ment of the forestry

was always supposed to be in the prior interests of the state. perm Krai is consid-ered to be one of the leading regions in timber industry. the forest plan will be the instrument of strate-gic planning in the use of our timber re-sources for the future 10 years.

Being a member of non commercial

partnership “Consci-entious enterprises guild” has long ago become a sign of quality of the servic-es and goods, a sign of consumer’s trust and at the same time a kind of a beacon for him. About the guild’s contribution to the product’s qual-ity increase in the region – director of Conscientious enter-prises guild, Valeriy Guliaev.

there was a sign in the times of the so-viet union – a pen-tagon, which marked the products of the best, superior qual-ity. this quality mark was a guiding line for those who wanted to buy a high-quality,

rare item. now we don’t have

the commodities scarce – there are plenty of goods in our shops. but another problem arises – to choose a high-quality and, more important, safe item. the buyer needs a trustworthy guideline to make a choice.

in europe the qual-ity of the services and goods are specified by social consumer’s organizations, sup-ported by the govern-ment. in perm Krai we have one of the strongest non com-mercial organizations of the kind – “perm conscientious enter-prises guild”.

the motto of the guild is “honour over profit”, and it is not merely a decla-ration. it is a hard work. participating in contests, exhibi-tions, and fairs is not as an end in itself,

but the instrument to confirm the qual-ity of the goods and keep the bona fide competition. a bright example – “100 best russian goods” con-test. last year it was noted, that a signifi-cant number of goods, which deserved the title of the best, were manufactured by our enterprises, members of the perm guild.

“conscientious enterprises guild” has become a collective brand, helping to get consumer’s trust. Fur-thermore, it gives the competitive advan-tage for commodity positioning. e.g. perm strong spirits distill-ery advanced greatly after getting the right to use guild’s brand. the same was with “permalko”. against a background of imported spirits of poor quality and their substitutions, poured in 2000-2001 from abroad, with the guild’s mark the enterprise tripled the sales volume.

long ago, many entering companies were small and un-developed, they were at their dawn. eg. “hemi” or “saturn-r”. today they are holding companies, “saturn-r” is the first-rate tax-payer in the district, but their motto is still the same – honour over profit. the quality of the goods is one of their prior courses in the development strategy.

the guild became an example for all commodity producers in prikamie, strength-

ened the traditions of social partnership on the regional market, and the enterprises, belonging to the guild proved, that the busi-ness can and must be honest.

unfortunately, the number of guild members is gradually decreasing. this pro-cess occurs party due to the foreign com-mercial structures. For many of them the profit is above all. though, undoubtedly, there are conscien-tious companies which come to our market. e.g. ekater-inburg’s “superstroy” made a good showing and got the people’s trust. now the com-pany is the member of the guild.

today our trade-mark is a reliable compass for the con-sumers in choosing a service or a good. For buyers and for sellers this mark identifies the high quality and trust to the best perm commodities produc-ers.

Perm “QualiTy mark”

«permalko»“conscientious enter-

prises guild” has taken the principles, formulated in the beginning of the xx century, as the basis for their work. “permalko” enterprise, founded by a merchant suslov long ago, in the tsarist rus-sia, sticks to the “code of honour” in xxi century.

in the present situation, the state has no systems of certification and quality control, so the consumer is in the poor situation. this problem is especially relevant when speak-ing about the spirits industry. self regulation in business becomes one of the key features to keep a good level of competitive ability. being a member of “conscientious enterprises guild” and strict adherence to the principles of non commercial partnership is a guarantee for our partners and clients.

according to the managing director of “reductor-pm” nikolay semikopenko, in the following years the overall increase of heli-copter production is expected. “currently two helicopter plants – in ulan-ude and in Kazan – are planning to construct around 130 heli-copters of mi-17 series in 2009. this year the number of new helicopters will not be higher than a hundred” – said mr. semikopenko.

russian producers have focused their atten-tion to the mi-38 helicopter, for which “reduc-tor – pm” makes tail-rotor transmissions. “the first model of this part should be complete in may. in total we plan to produce four units this year.” – noted nikolay semikopenko.

in cooperative marketing association “du-brovinskiy”, located in nitvinskiy district, a new dairy complex for 550 cows was launched.

cma “dubrovinkiy” today is one of the most stable agricultural enterprises in nitva. the construction of the new complex for untethered keeping of 550 heads of cattle has begun in the early 2007. the costs for its building are about 47, 7 million rubles, half of the sum – 23, 5 million rubles – money from the regional budget. the construction will be finished in october, 2008.

Few other cattle breeding complexes are wait-ing to be put into operation this summer: one complex in limited liability company “niva” of uinskiy district in june, another – for 1500 heads of cattle – in “rus” of permskiy district in july. in august llc “ruabovskoe” of chernushinskiy district is going to open a complex for 800 heads of cattle.

nowadays, in perm Krai under the “rapid development of cattle breeding” program 15 complexes are under construction. total value of the units is 2, 4 milliard rubles, 713,4 rubles are provided by the Krai’s budget.

rabbiT franchisePerm Department

of Agriculture is preparing a franchise for rabbit breeding business. The project is developed with the help of the specialists from cattle-breeding centre “Prikamie”.

This enterprise is known as a center of Perm rabbit breeding. here eight far-famed species are reared: Butterfly, Black-brown, viennese blue, New Zeland red, Soviet chinchilla, Silvery, White giant, and Californian rabbit.

There are 3 thousand pedigree cattle breaded on the farm. The enterprise supplies with the young animals and breeders personal subsidiary plots and farms all the regions of Russia. Cony, produced in the enterprise, is sold through the affiliated chain.

A number of advantages can make rabbit breeding very profitable in our region. Due to the

specialists, everything can be used to bring an income, from flesh to fell. Complete breeding of flesh takes only 5 moths. Unlike pork or beef, cony is supposed to be dietetic foodstuff, it contains twice less fat and cholesterol, plus it is much more nutritious. Rabbits are

unpretentious about the weather, so there is no need in additional lighting or heating.

Rabbit breeding is one of the branches of “Stars of Agricultural Business Club”, developed by the Krai’s Department of Agriculture. Moreover, franchise will be elaborated

for fish-breeding and beekeeping.

The help for those businessmen, who wish to start their career in agriculture, particularly in accessing business-plans, assembly charts and ready-made projects will be stipulated in the Krai’s agricultural development program for 2009-2012 years.

New Russian-Be-larusian joint

enterprise will be opened in Nytva town of Permsky Krai. “Uralskaya Furnitura” Ltd. Co. (Nytva) is discuss-ing cooperation plans with “Lidsky Electric Wares Plant (Belar-us). Vision impaired workers will be able to find employment at this new enter-prise.

the cooperation conditions of two companies were discussed during the recent visit of the be-larus representatives in nytva.

the production of street lamps will be started using facilities of nytva’s enterprise. “uralskaya Furnitura” has modern equip-ment which allows production of some parts for street lamps. lydsky electric wares plant is willing to hand over one of its design to russian partner, in the near-est future belarus company will send

the technical speci-fications to russian company. estimated production output – 3000 units per month.

the cooperation with belarusian plant will allow “uralskaya Furnitura” company not only to operate its facilities at full capac-ity, but also to cre-ate 22 new working places. currently, the staff of the enterprise consists of 330 em-

ployees, half of them vision impaired.

We would remind that “uralskaya Fur-nitura” company is an active participant of “promotion of perm producers’ products” project, developed by the Krai’s ministry of trade and business development. in april 2008 “lidsky electric Wares plant” ad-dressed to the repre-sentative of permsky Krai in southern

Federal district, runar halitov, with a request to examine the pos-sibility of production of street lamps in the territory of permsky Krai, and consecutive sales in russia.

nikolai gavrilovich slavyanov (1854-1897) was a perm citizen, known for the great-est invention of the xix century in field of electric welding, which brought rus-sia world-wide fame. in 2008 scientific and technological commu-nity celebrates 120th jubilee of invention and industrial implementa-tion of arc-welding with metal electrode by n.g. slavyanov. today the arc welding is still the most used welding type.

a graduate of the st. petersburg institute of mines, n.g. slavyanov has significantly contrib-uted into development of scientific-engineering thought. range of his interests was very broad: mechanics, building, metallurgy, electrical engineering. the weld-ing technique of n.g. slavyanov had been pat-ented not only in russia, but in France, germany, italy, austria-hungary, belgium, the usa and switzerland. he de-signed and constructed special structure dyna-mos, electric measuring instruments, equipment and technology for ap-plication of electrical power in metallurgical production.

the inventive activi-ties of n.g. slavyanov are inseparably con-nected to the perm cannon plants (currently llc “motovilikhbiskiye plants”). n.g. slavya-nov, being the head of the perm cannon plants mining department, had always aspired to realize results of his works in practical applications.

there are several buildings in perm, de-signed by n.g. slavya-nov, including a house at bolshaya str. (current-ly 37, 1905 str.), in which niklay gavrilovich lived with his family since

1888 until 1893. this very building is today the memorial house-mu-seum of n.g. slavyanov (department of the perm regional museum).

all the goods and documents, belonged to slavyanov, as well as age-old antiquities were piece by piece collected by the perm regional museum staff and local geography and culture

enthusiasts to recre-ate environment and atmosphere of the age, when the great inventor lived and worked in this house.

the central part of the exposition is the study of n.g. slavya-nov, furnished with the original furniture of the slavyanov’s study. there is also a bookcase, full of popular publication of the xix century.

n.g. slavyanov, as it is known, worked a lot in his home labora-tory. its interior part is also recreated at the exposition. in this hall one could find the exact copy of electric weld-

ing device, designed by slavyanov, and model of the first in the world electric welding genera-tor.

the exposition also has a living room. Fur-niture of those times is presented here: sofa, two arm-cheers, table, clock, and “becker” piano.

the museum collec-tion tells not just about n.g. slavyanov, but

about the house owner great invention fate.

one of the most unique exhibits of the museum is the famous “cup” of slavyanov. the “cup” appears as a dodecahedral, drilled inside, prism with round base. it was welded of bell metal, tombac (alloy of copper and zinc), nickel, steel, cast iron, german silver (group of copper-zinc-nickel al-

loys, having silver color), copper and bronze. the “cup” weight is 5330 grams, and height is 210 mm. this exhibit was made by n.g. slavyanov for the chicago World Fair of 1893. this item was to deny skeptics opinion that the intro-duced welding tech-nique may be used only for ferrous metals. at the chicago fair slavya-nov was awarded with diploma of honor and medal “For arc electric welding”.

another treasure of the museum is the brass disk with legend «tachometer with of safety pointer of mining engineer slavyanov». nikolay gavrilovich measured rotation fre-quency of his dynamo exactly with this very device..

the exposition also presents design of electric welding device, hand made by the inventor and “metals electric casting” booklet, written by the scientist as the first tutorial, and published in st. peters-burg in 1891. by the end of xix century the slavyanov’s technique of electric welding had been commonly used at

many plants in russia and abroad.

even today the works of nikolay gavrilov-ich slavyanov live and develop. exposition of “modern welding techniques” tells about development of welding science and its cur-rent state. visitors may familiarize with the most used welding tech-niques, its application in industry and science.

tHe Perm art GallerYarT of ancienT

russiathe perm art gallery has its own icons collec-

tion, which has approximately thousand items and memorials of xvi-xx cc., which relate to various art centers and various performance levels. mas-terpieces, made by ancient russian icon-painting workshops of middle russia, russian north, povo-lzhye and ural are represented as single groups. since xviii the icon-painting get diversity: fol-lowing ancient russian painting style, appearance of the old believers’ tradition, and “academic paintings” icons. these memorials include works of high professional, average, and poor skill levels, but still always expressive and original. the collec-tion highlight is so called letters of stroganoffs, re-lated to xvi and beginning of xvii centuries. the perm gallery has about 50 memorials, therewith half of them are signed and dated icons, made by istoma savin, semion Khromoy, bogdan sobolev and many others moscow and prikamye painters.

the icon-painting collection of the gallery in common is rather typical for museums of russian province. but at the same time the scale and value of the perm art gallery collection are obvious.

Our Lady of Vladimir with eighteen blazes.

Stroganoffs School. 1580’s.

istoma savin. There are two dark-brown strings of inscrip-tion on the back: “...decree of nikita grigor….strogano…let-ter from istoma sav…”.

this icon, cre-ated by one of the best artists of the “stroganoffs school” is a gen-uine masterpiece

of the stroganoffs icon-painting. istoma savin is a “monarchial icon-painter”, worked sometimes for stroganoffs.

at the centerpiece of the icon there is our lady with the infant jesus. “the ancient maternity song” sounds here solemn and sad. eyes of our

lady look into the depth of soul, full of suffering and anxiety. gesture of the infant jesus is touch-ing. even splendor of precious garments can’t reduce tension of the image, the most expressive, the most honorable in ancient russia. exactly “vladimirskaya” is called russian shrine, patron-ess of russia. the icon of istoma is performed in traditional way.

but blazes here are unique indeed. the icon-painter, instead of the holy mother legend, tells story about real event: invasion of tatar army to russia, happened in 1395, and reproduced in “leg-end of our lady of vladimir icon miracles”.

this “legend” was the source for iconographic program of the icon, and miniatures from a manu-script of middle of xvi century become source for blazes. eighteen small compositions reflect all the episodes of the miraculous legend. We see tatar camp, praying at the assumption (uspenskiy) ca-thedral of the moscow Kremlin, the appearance of the holy mother to the tatar khan, sleeping in marquee, and sudden flight of tatars. use of black background and bright colors palette turn the blazes into some precious ornamental frame.

june, 3rd is the day of the icon celebration. and july, 6th is the holiday of meeting the icon in moscow, where it was brought from vladimir.

In the town of Vsevolodo-Vilva

(Aleksandrovsky district) in the house where poet Boris Pas-ternak had once lived in 1916 recovery works have come to the end.

by the initiative of the governor oleg chirkunov for the reconstruction of the house the Krai’s budget provided over 14 mil-lion rubles in 2006-2007.

according to the authors of the project the museum will have to recreate the atmo-sphere of the age when boris pasternak lived in

vsevolodo-vilva. apart from that, exposition will also tell about other famous literary and cultural figures: great russian writer an-ton chekhov, who lived

in vsevolodo-vilva in 1902, patron of art sav-va morozov (who was the owner of the local plant), inventor of pure chloroform recipe boris Zbarsky (who worked

as a chief engineer in the vsevolodo-vilva’s plant).

in the first place the museum is meant for the pupils of alek-sandrovsk and the neighboring territories. besides, the museum will be included in the touristic routes in the northern parts of perm Krai which already include usolye and so-likamsk. Foreign tour-ists are welcomed here; all the more that the presentation of tourist projects also connected with boris pasternak took place in london in the course of «World travel market 2007».

“PasTernak’s house” reconsTrucTed

The reconstructed house where

Pasternak once lived hosted research and educational seminar “Centres of Culture in the Province: an Experience of Cartog-raphy”.

in 2011 vsevolodo-vilva will celebrate its 200th birthday. the town was found-ed in the beginning of the xix cen-tury by the prince v.a.vsevolozhsky. at different times the town visited savva morozov, anton chekhov. boris pas-ternak came here in 1916 and lived with the family of a chem-ist boris Zbarsky. in vsevolodo-vilva pasternak wrote such lyrical masterpieces as “marburg” and

“on the steamer” (na parokhode). the envi-rons of vsevolodo-vilva are described in the novel “doctor Zhivago”.

that is why the theme of the seminar and its location are naturally connected: vsevolodo-vilva is one of memorable historic places in perm Krai and russia on the whole. over 30 researchers took

part in the seminar, having come from perm, yekaterinburg, moscow, nizhny tagil, Krakow, and ivanovo. among them were such well-known specialists as dmitry Zamyatin from the in-stitute of natural and cultural heritage of d.s.likhachev (mos-cow); vasily schukin – professor of the jagiellonian univer-sity of Krakow, the

author of the clas-sic monograph “the myth of ‘dvoryans-koe gnezdo’ in rus-sian culture”; sergey Kropotov – rector of the contemporary art academy of yekat-erinburg and many others.

the seminar is held in the context of the ministry of culture and mass media pro-gram “permian period of boris pasternak”. in its organization took part the admin-istration of aleksan-drovsky district, perm state university, literature department of the institute of history and archeol-ogy of the ras ural office and perm so-cial fund “yuryatin”.

PASTERNAK, BORIS LEONI-DOVICH (1890-1960), soviet poet, novelist, translator. Born on 10 February 1890 in Mos-cow.

Entered Philosophic De-partment of the Faculty of His-tory and Philosophy in Mos-cow University. In spring 1912 he went to Marburg, Germany, to continue his studies. The head of Marburg neo-Kantian philosophic school, Herman Cogen, proposed Pasternak to stay in Germany to take Doctor’s degree in Philosophy. However, it was not destined to occur.

Having returned to Mos-cow Boris Pasternak entered literary society. In 1914 his first collection of poems “Twin in the Clouds” (“Bliznets v tuchakh”) was published.

In the late 1930-s he was almost forbidden to appear in print. So he had to move to Peredelkino and set to transla-tion: Shakespeare’s tragedies, Goethe’s “Faust”, Shiller’s “Mary Stuart”...

In the years of war Pas-ternak created a cycle “Poems about War”.

From 1945 to 1955 in the throes he had been giving rise to “Doctor Zhivago”, in many respects an autobiographical novel about the fortune of the Russian intelligentsia in the first half of the XX century.

In 1956 Pasternak brought the novel to several maga-zines, but he was refused.

The same year he sent the manuscript to Italy. The publi-cation of “Doctor Zhivago” in Europe and its awarding with

the Nobel Prize in 1958 “for his important achievement both in contemporary lyrical poetry and in the field of the great Russian epic tradition” aroused pointed criticism in Soviet press. Since that time writer’s badgering began. The verdict read: “Awarding a prize for artistically poor literary work, malicious and full of ha-tred against socialism – it is a hostile political act against the Soviet State”. Pasternak was ex-pelled from the Soviet Writers’ Union for his “actions incom-patible with the status of the Soviet writer”, which meant a literary and social death. Pas-ternak had to refuse the Nobel Prize: “Because of the meaning which the award has received in the society I belong to I have to refuse it. Please, don’t

consider my voluntary denial as insulting”. In his letter to N.S.Khrushchev he wrote: “To leave my Motherland is equal to death for me. I am bound to Russia with my birth, my life and my work”.

In the USSR “Doctor Zhivago” was published in 1988, already after the author’s death. Having put a full stop in his novel, Pasternak summed up his whole life: “Everything is unraveled; everything is named, simple, clear, and sad. Once again there are given names to the most precious and important, to the earth and the sky, to the great and fervent passion, to the spirit of creative work, to the life and to the death...”

Pasternak died on 30 May 1960 of cancer of lungs.

leGenDs of PriKamYa

by vishersky sTonesIn ancient times by the

very stone range lived two strong and handsome hunt-ers. People called them differ-ently but in the history their names remained as Vetlam and Polud.

polud was tall and slim, he had the strongest arms, vetlam was a little shorter but had broader shoulders.

they were good friends: hunted together in primeval forests, fought together with enemies who often came to the stone range. and friend-ship of these two hunters was stronger and harder than the hardest stone in this area.

time flies and a daughter of head shaman paser-ia, or how hunters called her vishera, grow and turned into young and beautiful girl. both hunt-ers fell in love with her but nobody knew who will be with the girl. in the meantime sha-man was jealous of hunters’ friendship and for long time was trying to destroy it.

one morning he came out of his tent and the idea came itself. hunters were standing and arguing who will marry vishera. so shaman decided to destroy hunters.

— and he said: “i have an idea! my daughter will marry the one who throw hundred pood stones to each other”.

hunters left and people could hardly see them behind the trees. competition started and one stones were thrown from one mighty hunter to another. stones would clash with each other in the air and break like nuts, covering hunters with stone pieces.

at first stones were up to their knees then up to their waist.

beautiful vishera couldn’t stand this and she ran stand between them but it was too late. they berried each other in stones.

she started crying and turned into a river that flows between stones in memory of her fiancés.

head shaman lost his daughter and died of grief by pomyanenni stone. people remember this sad story and call this stone pomyanenni (remembrance stone).

since that time vishera splashes from time to time her beautiful stones. people call them diamonds, they are magnificent and beautiful, because it is tears of a beau-tiful girl.

ecoloGical Tourism in Permsky kraiWhat is ecologi-

cal tourism in Perm Krai? It is any form of tourism with responsibility to en-vironment, studying and enjoying nature, helping to conser-vancy.

Where to begin get-ting to know tourism in perm Krai? in the recent years more and more people enjoy go-ing boating. in boat-ing elements of learn-ing, active pastime,

health improvement and sport are com-bined. it is available for almost any healthy person irrespective of age. among the advantages of boating are – convenience of load and people transporting, amaz-ingly beautiful nature, ecological compatibili-ty of the territory and river, huge moon that without shame glances at faces of people who sit around the bonfire, plenty of herbs which

are used to make in-comparable tea.

if to all this we add the main principles of ecological tours: tours are thoroughly planned, controlled and lead by qualifies guides. garbage is not thrown away at the dumpsters or left at the campsite instead it is collected and brought to special uti-lization places, halts and bonfires are made only in specially ap-pointed places. We

try not to harm nature that is so hospitable to us.

rivers in perm are clean and beauti-ful, thy give you the energy that megapolis with its haste , traffic jams and problems is taking from you.

natural resources of perm Krai are a spe-cial theme. this Krai is amazing. incompa-rable rivers and lakes, riverside stones- gi-ants, labyrinths of caves like in fairy

tales, forests- guard-ians of ural nature. unique preserved places! all this is noteworthy…

you can do eco-logical tourism, go boating through specialized companies or independently. but without assistance it is more difficult and takes up more time. you will have to read piles of materials about equipment, food on a boat trip, to pay for equipment and so

on. you should start from the most simple routes in populated area. in the beginning it is better to go with more experienced team, saving your strength, nerves, time and money.

We wish you eco-logical rest, smooth water, beautiful and interesting places!

The rebirTh of mass sPorT in Perm reGion

At the 12th of June, 2008 in 40 cities of Russia mass competitions in street basketball“The Orange Ball” are going to take place

The oranGe ball 2008

Alexander Ivonin, the manager of PE and Sport in Perm Region Agency is speaking:

basketball is mass and popular kind of sport in perm region. We are glad to hear that our region is committed to hold the competitions in sport basketball “the orange ball” in the third time. the battle will take place in berezniki, where basketball has old traditions. berezniki is one of the biggest cities of prikam’e, the sport is actively develop-ing here. this suits the politics of the agency – to hold more competitions in perm region. perm is already sated with the competitions of the highest level.

We would like to attract other towns to the healthy way of living: chusovoi, Kudimkar, berezniki. We support those federations which develop their kind of sports in their regions.

Vitaliy V’ugov, the vice-president of the basketball club “Ural-Great” is speaking:

in berezniki “ural great” is the organizer of “the orange ball” with the help of pe and sport in perm region agency. during the

competitions in street basketball we collect 6-7 thousands of people. that is why street basketball will not be bounded by berezniki. the battles will take place in perm and chaikovsky and also in Kudimkar. i’d like to notice that the interest to street basketball is growing everywhere. For example, “ural-great” has already held the battles in street basketball in solika-msk and chusovoi and in these towns the records in the number of participating teams are broken. We are waiting for the battle in berezniki where in 2006 year 180 teams were struggling with interest because of that. this is the record for the perm region towns, if not taking perm in consid-eration.
