🎼 Музыкальный вечер в честь Ленинградской симфонии Д.Д.Шостаковича
🇷🇺 10 апреля в Посольстве России в Швеции состоялся вечер классической музыки и романса, приуроченный к 82-й годовщине скандинавской премьеры «Ленинградской симфонии» Д.Д.Шостаковича.
Среди гостей были представители аккредитованного в Стокгольме дипкорпуса, российские соотечественники, неравнодушные к нашей стране шведские деятели культуры.
🎵 Симфония №7 Дмитрия Шостаковича («Ленинградская») была написана в 1941 году и впервые исполнена в 1942 г. в блокадном Ленинграде, став вечным символом сопротивления фашизму. Она выразила несгибаемую волю советского народа к Победе и прозвучала как голос жителей осажденного города, обращенный к миру.
🇸🇪 8 апреля 1943 г. в Гётеборге (Юго-Западная Швеция) состоялась премьера симфонии в континентальной Европе. Ее исполнил Гётеборгский симфонический оркестр под управлением Карла фон Гарагуя. Оглушительный успех был бы невозможен без усилий советского посольства, возглавляемого А.М.Коллонтай. Глава советской дипломатической миссии лично присутствовала на премьере.
Сегодня музыкальный коллектив сотрудников российской дипмиссии задействовал поистине уникальные рояли, датируемые концом XIX в. — началом XX в. Один из них — работы знаменитой российской императорской марки J.Becker, произведён ориентировочно в 1897 г. Его можно увидеть на архивных фотографиях интерьеров бывшей резиденции советского посла, включая снимок, где изображена сама Александра Коллонтай.

🎼Musikaliska kvällen till minnet av Sjostakovitjs Leningradsymfonin skandinaviska premiär
🇷🇺 Den 10 april anordnades en konsert med klassisk musik och romanser på Rysslands ambassad i Sverige, tillägnad 82-årsdagen av Dmitrij Sjostakovitjs Leningradsymfoni skandinaviska premiär.
Bland gästerna fanns företrädare för Stockholms diplomatiska kår, ryska landsmän samt svenska kulturpersonligheter med intresse för vårt land.
🎵Dmitrij Sjostakovitjs sjunde symfoni (”Leningradsymfonin”), som komponerades år 1941 och uruppfördes 1942 i det belägrade Leningrad, har blivit en evig symbol för motståndet mot fascismen. Den gav uttryck för det sovjetiska folkets orubbliga vilja att segra och blev den belägrade stadsbornas budskap till världen
🇸🇪 Premiären av Sjostakovitjs sjunde symfoni i det kontinentala Europa ägde rum den 8 april 1943 i Göteborg. Göteborgs Symfoniker dirigerades av Carl von Garaguly, och framträdandet blev en succé. Premiären skulle knappast ha ägt rum utan ansträngningarna från den sovjetiska legationenen, ledd av Aleksandra Kollontaj. Hon var själv närvarande vid premiären.
Under konserten spelade Ambassadens musikgrupp verkligt unika flyglar från slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet. En av dem, av det berömda ryska kejserliga varumärket J. Becker, tillverkades vid 1897. Den finns på arkivbilder från den tidigare sovjetiska ambassadörsresidensen, inklusive ett fotografi med Aleksandra Kollontaj själv.

🛰 On April 12, 1961, the world witnessed an event of cosmic significance (or rather the Cosmos witnessed an all-planetary event): Soviet cosmonaut Yury Gagarin performed the first ever manned mission aboard the Vostok-1 spacecraft. His trailblazing flight lasted 108 minutes and ushered in the Space Age, with the human race embarking on space exploration.
Vostok-1 was a spherical re-entry capsule measuring 4.3 metres in length, 2.43 metres in diameter, and with a launch mass of 4,725 kilogrammes. It was equipped with life-support systems, automated controls and communications equipment. Designed for a single crew member, the spacecraft could support a mission of up to ten days.
The launch vehicle was developed on the basis of the two-stage R-7 intercontinental ballistic missile, with the addition of a third stage. It measured 38.2 metres in length, had a maximum diameter of 10.3 metres and a launch mass of approximately 287 tonnes. The rocket was capable of delivering payloads of up to 4.5 tonnes into orbit.
👨🚀 The flight was operated entirely in automatic mode, but Gagarin was capable to control it manually, if necessary. For safety, he wore a spacesuit throughout the mission. The suit carried a four-hour oxygen supply to keep the cosmonaut alive in the event of depressurisation. It would also protected Gagarin, if his seat ejected at an altitude of 10 kilometres.
The launch took place from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 9:07 am Moscow time. Vostok-1 made a single orbit of the Earth and landed near the village of Smelovka in the Saratov Region at 10:53 am. At an altitude of around 7 kilometres, Gagarin ejected from the capsule and parachuted to the ground.
Vostok-1 was the first spacecraft in the Vostok series, and even after the main programme ended, modified versions of the spacecraft continued to be used and later became the foundation for a number of Soviet and Russian satellites.

🎙️Interview of Russia’s Ambassador to Sweden Sergey Belyaev with SwebbTV (April 12, 2025)
Key points:
#RussiaSweden
🔹 We have had communication with Sweden for more than a thousand years. And the Russian Embassy in Stockholm was one of the first Russian missions abroad. And of course we had different periods of time. But we managed to have relations and to keep open channels of communication.
🔹 Finland and Sweden joined NATO. It's a reality. And the issue is that now the decision about peace of war do not belong to Helsinki and Stockholm. And that's why the security of these countries are not only in their hands. And of course we will analyze this. Of course there will be steps, also military steps, preparing to different, as you imagine, scenarios. But I do not see the situation when we will demand that Sweden should went out of NATO. It's speculation. Russia has no intention to invade, for example, Gotland. But researchers and journalists in Sweden develop different scenarios how it can happen. And then they begin to believe themselves that Russia is threatening Sweden.
🔹 You should not feel nervous. The case is that during the whole history of mankind, it's better to improve your security by political and diplomatic means than to prepare to war.
#BalticSea
🔹In the Baltic Sea, for years, we developed international cooperation to achieve the safety of shipments.
🔹 My hope is that sometime we will be able to restore cooperation. It is very difficult to do now after a very deep lack of confidence between Europe and the Russian Federation. I suppose that it will be very difficult if possible at all to restore it. But at least we should remember that our disputes, our different opinions should not lead to confrontation.
#MultipolarWorld
🔹 Our politics is developing very much towards Asia, Africa, and Latin America. BRICS is developing very rapidly. We have now 11 countries. And many countries are willing to join. And now this so-called G7 represents only 30% of global GDP. And BRICS represents 38%.
🔹We really have very close relations of cooperation with China, it's really strategic, Our trade with China is now more than $230 billion in our match.And for example, the Chinese are very interested in developing cooperation in the Arctic areas, Russia is one of the best countries in this field.
#NATO
🔹There were a lot of countries that tried to invade Russia, and we have a great experience, unfortunately, of such confrontation. When there was unification of Germany, and the Soviet Union gave its permission to support this unification, because we were promised that NATO will not enlarge. But then we know what happened. NATO was coming closer and closer to the Russian borders.
🔹 And of course, when we see that the military alliance is enlarging and coming actually to our borders, we have to think why it happens. And we speak about this with partners from the West, beginning with year 2007, when it was this famous speech of President Putin, that security should be comprehensive, that no-one should build his security on the security of the others.
🔹 It's rather funny to see how Baltic states try to prove that they will be the next ones. Russia has no intention to invade in Baltic states. No intention to invade in Finland or Sweden.Baltic states joined NATO many years before. Sweden has joined now. And of course we have to analyze what does it mean from the point of view of our security and how we should react.But I exclude the possibility that Russia will invade to some neighbour country.We are not interested in wars as a country or as people.
