On January 14, 2023, an event organized by the Youth Department of the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA together with the “Russian Culture in New York” society was held in the parish hall of St. Nicholas Cathedral.
Philologist and translator Marina Bernsgord gave a lecture on Russian proverbs and sayings. The lecturer shared fascinating information about the biblical origin of many proverbs and sayings, explained their hidden meanings and made a comparative analysis of the most common Russian, English and Spanish “winged expressions.” The lecture was interactive: everyone present could ask a question or share their thoughts.
After the lecture, singer and composer Igor Stasovsky performed for those gathered, singing his own compositions as well as popular folk and pop songs.
