It's almost impossibly - to hook such a photograph. President's people are trying to prevent any probable publishing of image of President with a disordered tie or mouthful of sandwich... Well, here everything seems in order.

OK! Right dress... 'shun! Here come (from right to the left) Anton Adasinsky - "Drosselmeyer", Andrian Faddeev - "Nutcracker the prince", Lyudmila Putina - First lady of Russia, Vladimir Putin - President of Russia, Valery Gergiev - main conductor and head of Mariinsky theatre, Laura Bush - First lady of USA, Natalia Sologub - "Mashen'ka", George W. Bush - President of United States, Mikhail Chemiakin - artist.

The photo was taken on May 25 in Mariinsky theatre.

"LA DIVINA COMMEDIA" premiered in Berlin at "Theatre am Ufer" to a full house. Bearded AXE was there - these days they they were playing at UNIDRAM Festival.

The audience here is picturesque - Russians, Poles, Italians, Germans... And the people are different - they sit in the foyer till the late night discussing our show. There are 140000 Russians legally living in Berlin. It's easy to live a life here knowing no any word of German. Physicians, magazines, TV, any services - everything is available in Russian. The city is agile, rigid and very lively.

We hope that soon a unique photo will appear on the site: Anton's Drosselmeyer right next to Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and George W. Bush of the USA, their wives, secret service agents and translators. The photo was taken on May 25 in Mariinsky theatre.
