International competition Red Bull Crashed Ice 2015Take some of the best and toughest skaters in the world, a sizzling atmos-phere, stunning surround-ings, tonnes of steel, a huge cooling system and thou-sands of square metres of frozen water. The result? Red Bull Crashed Ice! Since the first-ever race back in 2001, Red Bull Crashed Ice has developed into one of the world’s most breath-tak-ing winter sports events. Riders hurtle down courses up to 600 metres in length in groups of four, shoulder to shoulder, as they fight it out for victory. The whole race is held on a steep downhill track dotted with chicanes, jumps and rollers. Pushing, sliding and sprinting are all on the agenda as the ath-letes race down the course, but the rules are very simple: first to the bottom wins.

In Red Bull Crashed Ice, skaters descend a steep ice canal filled with bumps, jumps, rollers and obsta-cles four-at-a-time,jostling for position as they reach speeds of up to 70kph.

With only the top two riders going through to the next round, competition is fierce.

The event is held in a clas-sic knockout format, and the field of 64 riders starting the main event is whittled down to just four athletes compet-ing in the final.

How do you prepare for such a unique race? First and foremost it is essential to know what you are do-ing on the ice. However that doesn’t mean that all of the athletes competing in Red Bull Crashed Ice ply their trade in ice-hockey leagues – for example, the sport’s most famous name, Jas-per Felder, is a professional bandy player, a game popu-lar in his native Sweden and similar to ice hockey with a round ball and many rules adopted from football.

The sport most similar to ice cross downhill is probably ski cross.

In this discipline, skiers de-scend a snow course fea-turing jumps, rollers and banked corners four-at-a-time, with the fastest two athletes progressing to

the next round. While phys-ical contact is (as with ice cross downhill) not officially permitted, the high speeds and twisty courses make for spectacular action and plen-ty of crashes.

On December 13rd in Mos-cow will be host the Rus-sian qualifying round of Red Bull Crashed Ice 2015. The venue - the stadium “Mete-or”. According to the results of the competition are de-termined two athletes who will represent Russia at the stages of the World Cup Red Bull Crashed Ice 2015 - the winner and best newcomer.

Interview of one of the participants of the 2014th year competition

InfoName: Andrey LavrovDate of Birth: 20/02/1987Resides in: St Petersburg, Russia

How long have you been competing in ice cross downhill?

The first race I took part in was in the 2011 season, in Munich. The 2014 season will be my fourth year com-peting.

What first got you interest-ed in the sport?

Initially, I did not even think that I would participate in the qualifying rounds, I just wanted to prove to myself and others that I knew how to skate and had a great desire to test my physical training

(at the time of the qualify-ing rounds in 2011, I played hockey only at an amateur level but tried my best to keep myself in good shape with many different extreme sports). When the same happened at the big track it was love at first sight and now I’m not leaving without a fight for the top places. I cannot imagine doing any-thing else!

If there is one piece of ad-vice that you could offer new riders, what would it be?

Put all thoughts aside and enjoy the flight and every moment lived on the road, otherwise why do it?

What is your best result or favourite memory at a Red Bull Crashed Ice?

At every tour stop, there has always been something memorable:

the individual elements of the route, the crowd chant-ing your name at the race in Moscow, the “moonwalk” at the race in Sweden, the photo finish and a shoulder injury at the events in Hol-land... but perhaps getting into the final race in Quebec with a broken wrist is the most vivid memory!

Who is your favourite sportsman?

My father will always remain for me the person for whom I will do anything - I want to make my family proud.

An other point of differenc-es is, that Russia is mostly Orthodox and in Orthodox religion the Christmas is on the 6th of January. The event is the same (the born of the Christ), but the dates are different because of the use if an other calendar, from here come the Old new year, celebrated on the 12th Of January, this day is the New year by the Orthodox calendar and as the Ortho-dox calendar is older that the usual one, so it’s called the Old New Year.

Julia Margaret Cameron(1815 - 1879)Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-79) was one of the most important photogra-phers of the nineteenth cen-tury. Her photographic ca-reer began at the age of 48 when she received a cam-era as a gift from her eldest daughter. She quickly and energetically devoted her-self to the art of photogra-phy, creating ambitious and

the more definite focus which all other photogra-phers insist upon”.

Cameron donated and sold her work to the South Kens-ington Museum (now the V&A) and corresponded fre-quently with Sir Henry Cole, the founding director. Her photographs were exhibited at the Museum in November 1865, the only occasion dur-ing her life that her work was shown in a museum.

experimental compositions, producing prints, and pro-moting and distributing her works as widely as possi-ble. In addition to creating evocative portraits both of male and female subjects, Cameron staged tableaux and posed her sitters, often friends, family and servants — in simulation of allegori-cal paintings.

A sensitive and pioneering portraitist, Cameron was criticised in her lifetime for her innovative and uncon-ventional techniques. She wrote of her method of large-scale, out-of-focus portraiture, “when...com-ing to something which, to my eye, was very beautiful, I stopped there instead of screwing on the lens to


Yury Yeremin, Old Moscow –Favorites (Last Days)

MAMM presents a retro-spective of Yuri Eremin, one of the celebrated Pictorialist photographers, as part of “Classics of Russian Pho-tography” and “The History of Russia in Photography”, programmes the museum has pursued since 1997. The Russian school of Pictorialist photography takes a special place in the history of world photo art, and the Pictorial-ists’ work is splendidly at-tuned to the context of art worldwide. Yuri Eremin, Al-exander Grinberg, Nikolai Andreyev and Nikolai Svish-chov-Paola represented Russia at major international photography exhibitions and salons in Europe, the USA and Japan, frequently win-ning the most prestigious awards.

After first appearing on the international photography scene in the late 19th cen-tury, Pictorialism had large-ly exhausted its aesthetic potential by the mid-1920s. Post-war Europe turned to other genres and art move-ments, but it enjoyed a re-naissance in the USSR for several years.

The Pictorialists strove to equate photography to painting, mainly using a soft-focus lens and specif-ic, very sophisticated print-ing techniques. Pictorialist photography challenged the documentary image. In the new Soviet state Pictorialist photographers were in no hurry to adopt Soviet slo-gans or enthuse over revolu-tionary achievements. Their subject matter was most-ly confined to landscapes, nudes and genre scenes. Soviet critics, like the for-eign press, regarded them primarily as the aesthetic opposition to militant Soviet ideology.

Yuri Eremin was born in 1881. He travelled extensively in Europe, studying the work of great Italian and French painters, and this hugely in-fluenced his worldview and aesthetic principles. Eremin was always keen to contin-ue his self-education, too: in Paris he attended drawing classes at the Académie Ro-dolphe Julian, took a philos-ophy course at the Sorbonne and studied photography ‒ one of his first landscapes in the Pictorialist manner earned the gold medal at an international photography exhibition in Nice.

In Moscow after the war Er-emin opened the Secession Photographic Studio, which functioned from 1918 to 1922; attended the VKhUTE-MAS Higher Art and Tech-nical Studios; began photo-graphing and sketching

the historical and cultural monuments of Russia; start-ed work for the Press-Cliché Agency (forerunner of the TASS photojournalism agen-cy) and Exportizdat; became editorial board member of the magazine Fotograf; headed the MUR (Moscow Criminal Investigation De-partment) photo laborato-ry; and taught at VKhUTEIN (Higher Art and Technical Institute), the Polygraphic Institute and MARKhI (Mos-cow Architectural Institute), etc.

In the late 20s Eremin ac-tively exhibited his work (in 1928 alone he took part in seven international shows in Europe and the USA) and no less actively defended Pic-torialist ideas at public pho-tography debates where at the time discussion focused on aesthetics. Alexander Rodchenko, who presided over a galaxy of young Mod-ernists and Constructivists, wrote in the magazine Novy LEF in 1928: “It is not so much painting we are strug-gling with (it is dying any-way), but rather with pho-tography “à la painting”... Curiously, in the late 1930s Rodchenko, who had long opposed the aesthetics of Pictorialism, became weary of the non-stop revolutionary transformations that inspired his early work and created splendid photo series on ballet, theatre and the circus in the Pictorialist manner.



faithful to the end to the sty-listics of Pictorialism, contin-uing to defend not only him-self and his aesthetic views, his picture of the world, but also the art of the Modern-ists, engaging as far as pos-sible in polemics with the Socialist Realists.

After the aesthetics of So-cialist Realism was trans-formed into an accessory of the ideological machine, the opportunity for debate became simply impossible and the moral persecution of artists led to physical repres-sions. Alexander Grinberg was sent to Stalin’s labour camps under the ludicrous pretext of “dissemination of pornography” and Vasi-ly Ulitin was exiled from the capital. Nearly all the Pictori-alist photographers were de-prived of the right to practise their profession.

Nikolai Petrov headed a le-gal expertise service, Leonid Shokin became a news-paper photojournalist and Nikolai Svishchov-Paola went to work in the House of Pioneers. Yuri Eremin locked himself in the bathroom of a communal apartment and secretly printed Pictorialist prints in miniature format: this was his escape from So-cialist reality, an attempt at “quiet resistance” to the new laws governing art. Any one of the images Eremin printed would have been sufficient to condemn him.

During the Second World War Yuri Eremin worked closely with GUOP (Chief Adminis-tration for the Protection of Monuments). In December 1944 he sold them more than 2500 negatives. In 1947 Eremin became a photojour-nalist for TASS, the official Soviet news agency. In 1948 Yuri Eremin died suddenly from a heart attack.

Until December 14th

In the mid-1930s aesthetics yielded to ideology. Instead of photographic debates on the advantages of different techniques for printing im-ages or the opportunities of-fered by different optical de-vices, discussion turned to “political short-sightedness” and the hunt began for ene-mies of the new world order. Socialist Realism was de-clared to be the only admis-sible means for representing reality.

For a while the Pictorialist photographers continued working and participating in important exhibitions such as “Masters of Soviet Pho-tography” (1935), but they attracted wholly negative press reviews. The maga-zine Soviet Photo accused them outright of “a predi-lection for remnants of the pre-Revolutionary culture of noble manor houses and the architecture of old Mos-cow” and “depicting scenes of rural life during the period of Socialist reorganisation of the countryside that are use-ful to no one”, declaring that “the working class has no need of nudes”.

During the debate “On For-malism and Naturalism in Art” in 1936 Pictorialist photography was branded “bourgeois” and “ill-timed” “Turgenev-ism” whose “dec-adent frame of mind pre-vented” the working class from creating the new art.

Kids in Moscow

We created this week the Kids section, to talk about an

amazing project about Mathematics.

There your child will speak English and learn amazing

things about mathematics.

Entertain-ing Math-ematics in English. Games for one playerMeeting on December 13rd, “Games for one player” will be devoted to various math-ematical games, which will allow not only to speak in English, but also will demon-strate the solution of mathe-matical problems.

A series of open sessions “Entertaining mathematics in English”, organized together with the educational centre of London Gates Education Group, - is the ability to use the English language as an active instrument of knowl-edge, to learn the language with ease and fun, and look at the math in a new way.

On a new class children have an opportunity to solve the following puzzle:

Tower of Hanoi - one of the most popular tasks of the XIX century. Rules of the game: Given three rod, one of which is strung eight rings, the rings vary in size and are: smaller ring for more. The aim is to bring the pyramid of eight rings in the least number of moves to the oth-er pin. At a time are allowed to carry only one ring, and it can not put a larger ring on top of a smaller one.

Challenges for the fer-ry “Wolf, cabbage and the goat”. The farmer bought at the market goat, cabbage and a wolf. On the way home I had to cross the river. The peasant was a small boat, which besides him could only fit one of his purchases.

How to smuggle him across the river all the goods, if you can not leave the goat alone with the cabbage and the wolf alone with a goat?

Tasks for cutting - one of the few hobbies of many scien-tists. Simple tasks on the cutting were found by the ancient Greeks, the Chinese, however, the first treatise on this subject written by Abul-Vafa, the Persian as-tronomer of the tenth cen-tury. In the future, the tasks started looking geometers, trying to cut the pieces on the largest number of parts. The founder of this trend was the geometry of the Henry E. Dudeney.

Now meet the challenges of cutting involved many, pri-marily because there is no universal method of solving, and everyone can find a new method to be smart, intuitive and creative thinking.

Concert Denis MatsuevMatsuev is a charismatic classical musician that not only in Russia around all over the world could not be found. And this statement is not an exaggeration ! If you do not know who is Den-is Matsuev (although today this assumption is fantas-tic), then looking at this high Buoyant with open eyes, you would think that in front of you, anyone - athlete, Action Hero and lover “a guy in the board “but not a classical pi-anist. What is the secret of visual deception? Maybe in the Baikal is the vast range of interests of the Irkutsk nugget - from love to jazz up passion for soccer and hockey? Most Likely.

The meteoric rise of his cre-ative career Denis Matsuev began after his triumph at the XI International Compe-tition of the name of Tchai-kovsky in Moscow (1998). Today, his performances are planned for the next few years with the same success and pass on the most pres-tigious stages in the world accompanied by the best or-chestras under distinguished conductors. It is important to place in their tour schedule Matsuyev assigns perfor-mances in Russia.

The traditional question of journalists about what the public artist prefer Matsui answers: “The best, but also the most difficult audience - Russian. We is not some-thing that a professional - a mere mortal to win easy. But if conquer - here it is a mys-terious Russian soul - it can take you as you do not even deserve. It was a concert in Moscow, in the Great Hall of the Conservatory - the biggest test of the season, not in New York’s Carneg-ie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall. This mysticism, which can not be explained in words. If you have passed the Russian public, then nothing scary - hardening of a lifetime”.
