New Year's Eve Tsar's Ball in Catherine the Great's Palace at Tsarskoye Selo The most outstanding feature of the ball is that it closely follows past events, both in its atmosphere and its scenario, which present-day historians have painstakingly revived.	Seventh International Musical Winter Festival Art Square The programme includes the masterpieces of world music classics belonging to Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, and Mozart. The concerts will be held in the Grand Philharmonic Hall - the former Noblemen's essembly.

Russian History Page
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Fyodor was the second of seven children born to Mikhail and Maria Dostoevsky. Shortly after his mother died of tuberculosis in 1837, he and his brother Mikhail were sent to the Military Engineering Academy at St. Petersburg, and they lost their father, a retired military surgeon who served as a doctor at the Mariinsky Hospital for the Poor in Moscow, in 1839.

Ivan III, the gatherer of Russian lands
Ivan III, also known as Ivan the Great, the grandfather to Ivan the Terrible, was a grand duke of Muscovy who first adopted a more pretentious title of the "grand duke of all the Russias". Sometimes referred to as the "gatherer of the Russian lands", he claimed Moscow to be a Third Rome, built the Moscow Kremlin, and laid foundations for the Russian autocracy.
