This week-end our city celebrates the anniversary of the oldest city's museum complex "The Historic Boulevard"

Now the Historic Boulevard is one of the biggest parks in the city and a popular place for rest and pastime among citizens and tourists. But in the beginning of the history of Sevastopol at the place of Boulevard was built the defense line of Russian army against the united armies of Great Britain and France during the Crimean campaign 1853-1856. At these hills stand three bastions, which protected the main strategic points of the city? The strong fights of the Russian defenders against the union armies took part here 2 centuries ago.

Information Supermarket The Atrium

Sculpture exhibition by Andrew Vasilenko. Music accompaniment by Anton Paramashikvan&Den, performance of the Sevastopol writer Yuri Ostretsov.

As I have promised before, I’d like to tell you about very unusual exhibition-installation “SOCIAL FormART” by Andrew Vasilenko. It takes place at the Information Supermarket “The Atrium” at the very beginning of June. But my impressions of it are still fresh and bright, as it was yesterday! It means that author and all the team, who helped him, have created a very interesting performance, the real eye-catcher, and they succeed in its main purpose: to gives us something to think, to look around and to ask some important questions to ourselves.

Happy Birthday!

Sevastopol in May

 

Sevastopol in May – is it so special?! Yes, it is! It is bright and tuneful choirs created by “young ladies” at the age “a little above forty”. But they can outbid every teen-age company with their youthful ardour and vivid life style...

 

It is a merrymakings with pancakes at a huge samovar right at the embankment...

 

It is live music from the stage of Youth and Children’s Palace. This time when I’ve seen it, orchestra plays an ardent melody from the “Pirates of the Carribean”. What the energy it makes for all spectators!!!
