  • Moscow, Russia, 24/04/2011..Orthodox Easter bell ringing concert in the bell tower of Danilovsky Monastery, the oldest monastery in Moscow. During the concert parishioners and visitors are invited to play the bells with the assistance of the monks..Once culture in Moscow meant state-controlled theatres like the Bolshoi, classical museums, and little else. In the chaotic years after the collapse of the Soviet Union even these came under threat as state money dried up. But the Russian capital has undergone a cultural revival. Derelict industrial zones are reborn as artists' studios and fashionable galleries; shopping malls mount art exhibitions; numerous clubs host a wide range of cultural events. Even the newly-renovated and famously stuffy Bolshoi has got in on the act, with onstage nudity and performances that have attracted conservative ire and protests.
