Saransk, the Capital of Mordovia.



Saransk is the capital of Republic of Mordovia. Saransk is a city of rich biography. It appeared in 1641 as a military stronghold on the boarder of the Russian state. At the beginning of the 20th century it was a backward township with the population less than 14.000 people. There were 14 churches and two cathedrals in old Saransk. As for educational establishments there were only 2 schools and a teachers’ seminary. Saransk was a town of narrow streets with kerosene lamps, single-storeyed houses and small workshops.



Now Saransk looks quiet different from what it looked before. From a small provincial town Saransk has developed into a large industrial and cultural center of Republic of Mordovia and Russian Federation. It is a big growing town with high buildings, treelined streets and green parks, a town that becomes more beautiful from day to day.

There are more than 60 large and medium-size enterprises in Saransk. A greater part of the production output comprises electric lamps, self-disloading lorries, cables, excavators, antibiotics, semi-conductor and rubber commodities, confectionary and other goods. Saransk is famous for well-known enterprises: “Lisma”, “Electric-Rectifier plant”, “Saransk Cables”, “Biochemist” and “Mordovspirt”.


Saransk is home to Scientific Research Institutes, Mordovian N.P. Ogariov State University, Pedagogical M.E. Evsevyev State Institute, Economic Cooperation Institute. There are many schools and technical schools.



Saransk, as the center of cultural life of the republic, holds museums, libraries, theatres, and each of these tamples of arts possesses its own individual images, its history and traditions. Taken together they all make a memorable portrait of Saransk.

From Republic of Mordovia



Self-portrait. Self-portrait (Anguish)1908 .

Stepan Erzia.

( Svetlana M. and Anna B. Grade 10. Tarkhanovo Secondary School. Republic of Mordovia )


(1)(2) (3)(4)

(1)Michelangelo.1942. (2)Alexander Nevsky.1931 (3)Beethoven.1929. (4)Head of a Spanish Woman.

Stepan Dmitrievich Nefedov (the real surname of the sculptor is those) – was born in Mordovia. And so he took a pseudonym under the name of one of ethnic groups. He studied in Alatyr, Kazan and Moscow. He lived for 9 years in Italy and France. He was exerted strong influence on by O. Roden’s creativity. In the first years of the Soviet authority he participated in realization of the plan of Monumental Propagation. Everything that he had reached, it was obliged to the natural talent, enormous work capacity and selfless, almost fanatical, fidelities to favorite business.

(5)(6)(7)(8)

(5) Portrait of an Old Mordovian. 1944. (6) Portrait of Mordovian Woman.1917. (7) Argentinean Woman. 1940. (8) Argentinean.1937.

Since 1926 till 1950 Erzia had been living and working in Argentina. He created many sculptures from wood. In South America his favorite materials were algarroba and quebracho - local kinds of a tree. His works were marvelous beauty. The master worked, using natural internal figure of a wood, its natural forms.


(9) (10) (11) (12)

(9-10) Moses.1932. (11) Portrait of Kisel-Zagoryanskaya. (1918). (12) Woman from Argentina.(1934)

Erzia aspired to romantic heroization of the person’s image. His sculptures are those: "Tolstoy", "Beethoven", «Argentinean», «Moskvichka», "Self-portrait", "Mordovian Girl" and others. Roden’s influence is felt in unusual on a plot and very emotional on perception works such as "Despair" and "Pleasure". But, perhaps, his most well-known sculpture is three-meter bible «Moses», exhibited in the Mordovian Republican Museum of Fine Arts in Saransk. Here there are also many other things of his works which he had bequeathed in gift to the Mordovian people. Many, but not all. When the sculptor returned home in 1950, he could not bring with himself everything that he had created for 24 years in South America.

Welcome

Hi Students,

It is a great pleasure for us , Gabriela from Buenos Aires and Mikhail from Mordovia, to start working on this project. We hope you enjoy this great experience, and while you learn English you will also be able to learn about a different country.
We invite you to start working on your introductions and to write about what you know about the other country, I mean, Argentinian students will mention whether they know anything about Mordovia and Mordovian students will write about what they know ( or not) about Argentina.
