Exhibition "Distant Echoes – Pushkin and China" | The Pushkin Apartment Museum

Exhibitions
This exhibition, themed around "dialogue," presents how the works of Russian poet Alexander Pushkin transcend language and time to gain new life in China. The exhibits, including precious publications, archival materials, manuscripts, and sculptures, systematically trace Pushkin's reception in China, from his earliest appearances in Chinese newspapers to his recognition as one of the most popular foreign writers. The Chinese translation of "Pushkin" itself serves as a testament to this cultural exchange: it carries the understanding and emotions of the Chinese people towards the poet, gradually transforming those precious and rare hopes and pursuits into something shared across national borders.
The exhibition opening ceremony was held on the afternoon of October 15th in the Green Hall of the All-Russian Alexander Pushkin Museum at 12 Moika Riverfront Street, St. Petersburg.

Moscow · WOW CUP: Medvedev vs Rublev 2026 | Moscow
On February 7, 2027, a symphony concert themed around *Scheherazade* and *Polovts* will be staged in Moscow. *Scheherazade* is a symphonic suite composed by Rimsky-Korsakov based on the Arabian Nights, a collection of Arabic folk tales. It consists of four movements, each corresponding to a different episode: Sinbad's voyage, the story of Prince Qarend, the prince and princess, and a festival in Baghdad. The theme of Scheherazade, played as a violin solo throughout the piece, is the most memorable melody. *Polovts* is from Borodin's opera *Prince Igor*, originally a dance section from the second act, but often performed as a concert selection. The melody has an oriental flavor, and both choral and orchestral versions are common. Both works belong to the Russian national school and draw their themes from oriental stories; their inclusion in the same concert creates a direct connection between the pieces. The performance will be conducted by a symphony orchestra; specific arrangements and conducting information are subject to change. Please note that concerts typically include an intermission and are quite long; therefore, it is recommended to plan your trip in advance.
"Humans are just humans—they love money"—Special Exhibition at the State Historical Museum of Russia | State Historical Museum

The exhibition, "People Reflect Their Character, People Reflect Their Love of Money," explores a key theme in Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov's novel *The Master and Margaret*—money as a force that tests humanity and reveals moral choices. In this work, money is not merely a detail of the era, but also a significant artistic image, permeating the narrative threads of both ancient times and the Soviet Union. This exhibition will guide visitors through monetary artifacts from two periods: the Jewish region in the first century AD and Soviet Moscow in the 1920s and 30s. The exhibition includes a section dedicated to ancient Judea, showcasing locally minted coins and Roman-era currency, and exploring the region's tax and financial systems. The centerpiece is a display case containing "Thirty Silver Coins"—four-drachma silver coins from Tyre, traditionally symbolizing the price of betrayal. A section on the 1920s and 30s explores the currency reforms of 1922-1924, the issuance of Chernvonets banknotes, the state's gold and foreign exchange policies, and the operations of the Torgeshin Shop. The exhibition displays all the major types of Soviet Chernvonets banknotes from 1922 to 1937, allowing visitors to trace their design evolution and connect real banknotes with scenes from the novel, including the famous Variety Theater scene. The exhibition also features rare Torgeshin Shop sales orders. Besides coins and banknotes, the exhibition also includes items that convey the atmosphere of the works. The highlight of the exhibition is the "Writer's Studio," which displays Bulgakov's personal belongings and a 1966 issue of the magazine *Moscow*, in which the novel was originally published.
