Advantages: Gorgeous Melodies, Exciting, Storytelling Piece and all around Beautiful Music Disadvantages: None
took a position as professor of instrumentation and composition at St. Petersburg Conservatoire in 1871 (not bad for a largely self-taught individual I?d say) and resigned his commission in the navy the following year. He had quite a distinguished musical career. At the Conservatory he taught many of the other famous composers we know today such as Sergei Prokofiev and Igor Stravinsky!
His main orchestral works include Sheherazade (which I?ve been told should be correctly spelled as Scheherazade) and Capriccio espagnol. He wrote fifteen operas which included The Tale of TsarSaltan (which contains the well known Flight of the Bumblebee), Khashchei the Immortal, and Le Coq d?Or or The Golden Cockerel.
Rimsky-Korsakov died in Lybensk in 1908.

Advantages: delicious, quick and easy to make Disadvantages: not for someone who hates seafood
The other day I put in the search of CIAO "caviar" and go no results what so ever! I just can't believe that people of Britain don't eat caviar. Yes it might be expensive - but what a taste!! So I've decided to put a recipe of something that has red salmon caviar in ingredients. The salad called "Tsar" (as caviar happens to be Russian favourite food) It's very easy and quick to cook and at the same time is delicious.
You'll need:

150gr cheddar cheese (mild)
6 boiled eggs
A tin of calamari (2 tins are better)
A jar of mayonnaise
Red salmon caviar - 140gr (they sell it in Sainsbury's or Waitrose sometimes or you always could find a local Russian or Polish shop perhaps)
Separate whites and yolks in eggs. Cut whites and potatoes on small sized square pieces and mash yolks slightly to turn them in crumbs ...
Advantages: Culture History Beauty Disadvantages: So vast
after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. How have the Russian people dealt with this freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of trade? How has a country ruled by the Tsars until the 1917 Revolution and then ruled by strong Communist regimes led by such as Lenin and Stalin managed these extreme changes? We were about to gain a little more knowledge and understanding about the Russia of the past and the present on our brief but illuminating journey through a relatively small area of this vast country.
I need a sip of vodka here when I recall the very old Aeroflot aircraft that was to fly us from Gatwick to St Petersburg. I promise you the tyres were bald! However the scheduled economy flight was comfortable arriving after less than four hours at St Petersburg, and once through immigration then transported by coach ...
