KALEIDOSCOPE
 
 
Welcome to a lot of New-Year music and Christmas carols in the edition
of Kaleidoscope due on the air from Monday, January 3. The program will
feature Christmas music because Russians traditionally celebrate
Christmas according to the Julian calendar, or two weeks later than in
the West. A 90-year old Yevdokia Murikova will tell you about the way
Christmas was celebrated in the olden days, we shall tell you about (and
let you enjoy) kolyadas, or specific house-to-house Christmas carol
singing. You will also learn about the Russian Father Frost and his
granddaughter Snow Maiden, and how they differ from Santa Claus?
There'll be Professor Vsevolod Marinov with his traditional talk and
other items. So, tune in to "Kaleidoscope" to learn a lot more about
Russia and the Russians. 
 
THE CHRISTIAN MESSAGE FROM MOSCOW
 
 
"The True Stories" is the title of the book, a radio adaptation of which
the Voice of Russia offers its listeners in the upcoming editions of
"The Christian Message from Moscow". The author of the book ? Lidya
Sergeyevna Zaparina ? was a gentlewoman by birth. She was born in 1903
and died in 1996. "The True Stories" were written by her in the years
when there was no possibility of having them published due to the
rampant campaign against all manifestations of Orthodoxy. The stories
were published just recently and have already been republished twice.
This is undeniably a testimony of their popularity. There isn't a word
of fiction there, just as the title of the book testifies, "The True
Stories". 
You will have an opportunity to hear the radio version of the book in
three consecutive editions of "The Christian Message from Moscow" - on
January 15, January 22, and January 29, at 0230, 0630, 0930, 1630, and
2030 UTC. 
The transcript of the program will be available on our web site at:
