Russian America

There is a lot of evidence of the active participation of Russian people in the life of America. It is difficult to overestimate the influence of Russian culture in art and science. Outstanding writers, composers, chemists, and physicists lived and worked in America. There were many refugees here after the Civil and Patriotic Wars. Until now, there are a large number of monuments and operating organizations, where national traditions are manifested.

The tour includes the Roerich Museum, with its extensive collection of the heritage of the entire prominent family; Novodiveevsky Monastery; Theosophical Society of Helena Blavatsky; Synod of the Russian Church, burial places of Sergei Rachmaninov and other prominent Russian figures. It is planned to visit St. Nicholas Cathedral - the most significant in the spiritual life of Russian Americans, as well as an unusual Russian Orthodox Catholic (Uniate) church.

Close and beneficial cooperation between the United States and Russia is dedicated to colorful frescoes with portraits of prominent politicians of the past, Count Witte and Minister Nabokov.

In the last decade, the true "capital" of the still Soviet emigration - Brighton Beach - was renamed by guidebooks from "Little Odessa by the Sea" to "Little Russia by the Sea". This means that the new comfortable Brighton has now turned into the largest center of a huge community of all Russian-speaking people in America. In addition, Brighton is surrounded by a number of others, including the fashionable areas of residence of our fellow countrymen. All this in the excursion appears as a wide panorama of amazingly beautiful urban landscapes.

A worthy end to the tour will be a visit to a large monument to Lenin, installed at the expense of the New York City Hall. As a tribute to a significant personality in Russian culture. That's it, and no less!

If the tour is planned as a two-day tour, then it includes a visit to a wonderful monastery in an unusually beautiful mountainous area.
