Fri - Sun Tucson Meet
Yourself
FREEE Concerts
City Hall Stage, El Presidio Park,
160
W Alameda St
(at Church St., between the Old County Courthouse and City Hall.),
Downtown Tucson Show me a people with more songs. Arizona Balalaika
Orchestra & Kalinka Russian Dancers put on quite a show.
Along the
string of wooden barges, the exuberant songs of the barge haulers are
heard over the Volga, from its mouth down to the sea. If repression can
be heard to crumble, it is in the brittle peal and cascading play of
Russian church bells. More, it is in the sinuous, subtle lines, the
rooted, resonant tones and the close, colliding harmonies spun out in
majesty by the church choir; in the sturdy syllables of Old Slavonic, a
language kept alive by the Russian Orthodox Church. Food from 22
nations including Polish. The Rusyny Folk
Ensemble songs, dances and costumes reflect the areas of
Slovakia and
Czech Republics, the Ukraine, Poland and Hungary. Pysanki Ukrainian Easter Eggs with
Martha Czorniak, Ukrainian Wood
Carving with Steve Tkachyk and Zenon Korytko, Polish Paper Cutting with Magdalena
Nowacka-Jannotta. Read

Russian
Holiday: Δενό νΰπξδνξγξ

Day of Peoples
Unity, or Day of National Unity The
newest
official Russian holiday first celebrated in on Nov. 4, 2005. This
"Unity Day" replaces the former "Day of
Accord and Reconciliation" (Nov. 7) which had already replaced the
Soviet "October
Revolution Day". The anniversary of the socialist revolution of October
1917, which
established communist
power, still survives. The system is gone, but many still cling to the
custom. Also translated: "Civil Unity Day:, and "Peace and Harmony
Day": Radio Free Europe: New
Russian Holiday Has More Behind It Than National Unity |

Disclaimer: For over 15 years, this organization grew as the
GCC Russian Club at Glendale Community College. 100s of people joined,
many events were hosted, and new service programs were started. For the
first time no advisor has volunteered for 2005 and the Cub is
"temporarily
disbanded" from the campus. As of November 16, 2004, this organization
is temporarily independent of
Glendale Community College,
but continues to
exist as a non-profit community service entity the largest and only
Russian-American
Club in Arizona.
