Part of the Russian Treasure House lecture series
Presenter Dr. Maria Lobytsyna
The Imperial palaces in Moscow and St Petersburg were a kind of Parnassus, a gathering place for the noted men of the day, generals and statesmen, writers and musicians. A remarkable part of the story of the palaces, from Pavlovsk to Strelna, have taken place in our day. The palaces were largely destroyed during the Second World War. Under the direction of dedicated curators, the palaces have been perfectly restored by Russian craftsmen. Yet some of the treasures, like the Amber Room, are lost forever. Through extracts from documentaries and films, music and visual art, we wil explore the unique leagacy of Russian socio-cultural and artistic heritage.

Part of the Russian Treasure House lecture series
Presenter Dr. Maria Lobytsyna
Throughout the centuries, life behind the walls of the Kremlin, with all its intrigues and drama, was a world apart from the spiritual and artistic traditions, customs, habits and beliefs of the people. The walled city of the Kremlin with its complex of forts, armories, palaces, cathedrals and cloisters was at the height of its grandeur during the XV-XVIII cc., and the splendour of this miniature city within a city is still extraordinary. Through extracts from documentaries and films, music and visual art, we wil explore the unique leagacy of Russian socio-cultural and artistic heritage.

The Moscow wealthy industrialist and art collector Pavel Tretyakov was to create a new concept of a "national gallery". He was strongly supported by the greatest Russian thinkers and writers of his time. His efforts were enthusiastically endorsed by other Russian industrialists who followed his example and founded galleries of European and Russian art in Moscow and other cities. Through extracts from documentaries and films, Amusic and visual art, we wil explore the unique leagacy of Russian socio-cultural and artistic heritage.
