Apparently Russian Culture is Hard to Find...

Okay, so today I went to the Pushkin Gallery, and I assumed that, because it had the name of a famous writer that it would be Russian art. Man was I wrong. First off, let me state that the exibits were quite strange, in the there was little cohesion between them. We started off in Rome and the time of Caesar, then went to Greece and their mythology, then Egypt and the Pharaohs, followed by European Renaissance art. Not only this, however, but the majority of the sculptures were plaster casts of the originals. There was David (from Florence), a sculpture that I saw in the Louvre of an angel with wings but no head, and others. (this is a picture from the Louvre that I took of the original) I suppose its a way for Muscovites/Russians to see other places' arts. It was not that great for me though, because I had been able to see the originals in their own countries. In any case, I have been here trying to explore Russian culture, and all I seem to be encountering, or at least more often than not, is European/American culture. Sorry, but screw you guys, I came to explore Russia, not my own culture, and cultures that I have explored before! NOt that I dont appreciate the art, but I WANT RUSSIAN ART!!!
I went to a concert that was, I thought, going to be all Russian folk/choir music. Nope. It was world music, from Africa, the south of the USA, Europe, etc. Yea, so much for that one. I also went to an opera. Was it Russian? Nope. It was Italian, Motzart to be specific. It was really good, and I enjoyed it, but WHERE IS THE RUSSIAN CLTURE I CAME HERE FOR????? I mean, seriously! I want Russian opera, Russian ballets, Russian art, Russian music!!! Oh yea, and I think that I am not going to be able to go to a show at the Bolshoy. Why? THE THEATER GROUP IS IN AMERICA! Grrr, oh well. I guess I am just going to have to dig deeper to find Russian culture. I guess I just supposed that it would be obvious, and not at all hard to find. I guess I was wrong. Wouldnt be the first time, and definitely will not be the last!
