huge influence fifty years in the past bush and the west may have battled it out with that cultural and political wars the now many believe it's a time when both old working together to celebrate each other's success first we enter in a series building situated in nazi hellgate love machine both this impressive location is the residence of the russian ambassador kensington palace gardens of the most expensive and elite addresses in the british capital. photographs a possum bust it is in public figures grace to lose an extravagant gifts from various leaders and dignitaries adorn the rooms oh wow absolutely breathtaking the soviet embassy moved into this building in one nine hundred twenty nine also known as harrington house it was one of the few venues in the area the bravely use the number thirteen not scared of anything another interesting fact is that they just pay one pound a year for the rent here but on the flip side of that the british embassy residence in moscow pays just one ruble which is actually fifty times cheaper

a good price for both every year the u.k. consular section issues two hundred thousand visas for russians who want to visit london the russian embassy says it supports the russian business while in britain offering assistance wherever possible but how does the embassy help british and russian relations i think the russian culture needs no major. introduction or advertisement here. because russia is a branch of european christian civilization and i think we share the same. values who enter in the same perception of the good and bad. life and few will and. there is no such thing as a cultural barrier between the two nations the russian cultural heritage is extremely. popular. around the world never the

russian see it as a russian troop or is he wrong or right. it always attracts. a bigger man than a big number of friends and order. it's not me but him see parties illegal drugs and the g.i.p. just said partying in dreams like this many young middle class machines live in london and that brings us to do speak scarce. to me a little why do you think russians love london so much so don't stay to say guess the level of the people that are rational so that they could mix here aristocracy celebrities it was different it wasn't the say that we had in russia. you know you could go to elton john ball here you can do it now probably in moscow but you couldn't do that before so people i guess were reading the detracted by all that i knew were from magazines so i presume that you were out every single hour to

different events and functions that's true a lot a lot of what's the are russian social scene like here russians don't seem to congregate just in one place if you go to no boy if you go to if you go to new how you will hear russians russian speech so it will be. glamorous places i guess for the new generation of russians who grew up around europe the most expensive places are not necessarily the best so you'll see a lot of people you know go to shoreditch hanging out in soho they prefer their friends be rather than. well as i. would like to thank you. because scene of russia and the former soviet republics is not all about bush and pancakes why not try something new and right in the heart of london's mound of bone and buckle some

accounts in the name of the beetle city opened in two thousand and ten and already has gained a reputation. venue specializes in central asian cuisine offering its international guess a chance to taste the exotic flayed is to stand. in stylish interiors two kitchens go through what you can see chefs at work making delicious bread in clay ovens and pulling needles into shape following the recipes which you've been passed down to generations these recipes has been passed on. she's very much in control in the kitchen she makes sure that every single thing is done according to the recipe and. she's very hard in the kitchen just to make sure that every single thing is just. an author a huge success worldwide particularly in the british capital base alone achieving

almost one billion dollars in sales in the last decade several options are held in london every year during various recent pieces from different periods which are an interest among. recent sales highlights of nineteenth and twentieth century russian paintings icons and other works of art including having jenner. it's a frenzy of excitement among the collecting cheesey predominately the market for russian painting russian bias but interesting enough when the artists leave russia . especially after the revolution is such a sure guy lincoln didn't skin suit. that becomes very international so we have a wide range of international clowns for those artists but for pure russian artists by russian i always get very excited about anything russian sells but to be honest i think the most exciting thing i'm ever so. rich. in new york and it made me incredibly price sixty million dollars.

moving outside now and some experts say the russian leaders say markets in london has kept many companies alive for the past five years for new wealthy russians the famous london square as an elite central areas of the capital are the places to live in the places to be seen over the past twenty years thousands of wealthy russians have moved to london with large houses in the sense that fetching millions of pounds many local a state agency have welcomed the new russian custom is. why the british capital well that's quite out. of the treasury and very famously very good lending proud of the oligarchs here in london. undergrad because so many wealthy russians have moved for the last ten years and i think most of the other famous all the golds but also a lot of more middle class russians have moved here as well i think they like the

lifestyle of. the history. of this is. the russians like the schools as well also the children the families. and i think that's the main reason why the right to decide to fight me to just scrap the folk right well this is. just to squelch is otherwise known as red square people so the russian is a big houses. down the street. and you have. houses here will cost at least fifteen. pounds sterling to buy. it's a very historic square i think most of the russian. boy here because they feel it's part of the british establishment. wants to buy a house here in the fall of the ruling elite and that's what they're like.

moving to a final location at the victoria and albert museum a temporary exhibition on the influential russian artistic director saying. he founded one of the most exciting don'ts companies in the twentieth century. imaginatively combine dance music and arts to create theater his dramatic performances transforms dance reawakening interests imbali across europe and america knowledge of the company's revolutionary ballets filtered through theatre fashion and to daily life including interior design and style all around the world . company was created a century ago in the productions of paris revolutionize twentieth century arts and still continue to influence cultural activity today celebrating the company's keep period of activity this major exhibition reveals jackalopes influence on twentieth century arts design and fashion and includes hundreds of objects including giant

feats of costs original costumes set designs props and posts is an impressive collection so where did they get all the exhibit items from the remarkable thing is actually two thirds of the. way obviously having a museum like base is very helpful because there are different apartments but we do have a wonderful. and of performance here and so the cloths and the cost streams basically come from those and you borrowed six cost to the rest. and we have this this wonderful wealth a consummate collaborator jackal it works with stravinsky chanel picasso and. just like many past and present russian artists whose work is celebrated and studied all over the world russian culture is staggering in many ways and in most major cities around the world you can now find out for yourselves go to one of your nearest museums constant halls and you'll see that russia is closer than you think.

fortunately that's all that's how we have on this week's program i'll see the same time next week for more cultural adventures around the british capital until then for me and the rest of the team here at the victoria and albert museum bye bye for now. well when one deals with water it has to realize that this tremendous amounts of damage that are done not just human damage but damage to the physical environment in which the battlefield takes place tremendous amount of damage done by obama's by napalm boy chemicals that whether it's a sonic boom say factory marine mammals or it's the burning oil fields here in iraq
