EXCURSIONS
Untill the last man falls...
Kronstadt -- that famous naval bastion that every Russian schoolboy learns about -- is the place where sailors mutinied against the Bolsheviks and were ruthlessly crushed. Until fairly recently, this historic naval base outside St Petersburg was off-limits to foreigners: a secret, closed town of naval institutions and war ships.

PERFORMING ARTS
Breaking out of the Kirov's fairy tale world
A controversial ballet that flies in the face of the Kirov Ballet Company's classical style will be performed with the Kirov's dancers on Thursday, July 13 in the Hermitage Theater.
The masculine tour de force of Boris Godunov
What does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his soul? These words apply as readily to Modest Mussorgsky's "Boris Godunov" as they do to Shakespeare's "Macbeth."
Events for this week

FOOD
RESTAURANT REVIEW: Tequila sunrise over the Fontanka
There's a new Mexican restaurant in town, and judging by the crowds of people dining inside, it's already proving a popular venue.

MUSIC
Outside for the Rock Side
The event, which last year took its name -- Goodwill Music --from the Goodwill Games, is called Rock Side Festival this year. This event can't be compared to last month's Radio Fuzz Festival in terms of size and media coverage, but it has its own compensations.
Aquarium star navigates uncharted waters of emotion
Boris Grebenshchikov, the St Petersburg star of Russian rock sensation Aquarium, unveiled his latest solo album "The Navigator" last week.
