The Melnikov house and the battle for the Soviet era’s artistic soul
"Architectural forms," declared the Russian architect Konstantin Melnikov, "send forth a great clamour from one century to the next, and preserve the freshness and glory of their times." Quite how much clamour he might not have predicted. The house he built for himself, more than 80 years after it was completed, is at the centre of an intense and bitter feud that pits sister against sister, cousin against cousin, and a young, dynamic, ruthless member of Russia's new rich against Melnikov's granddaughter. One of the great houses of the 20th century is at stake, and a piece of Moscow's soul. Melnikov came from an impoverished peasant family, and learned to draw on scavenged scraps of paper, but in the decade following the 1917 revolution he became the most dazzling of the architects who tried to express in buildings the ideals of the new era. He designed workers' clubs and a garage for the fleet of Leyland buses acquired from Britain by the communist government. He designed the … [Read more...] about The Melnikov house and the battle for the Soviet era’s artistic soul
Giffords Circus creator, 46, with terminal cancer has just a year to live but refuses to ‘hide her illness’ from her twins, 9, because she wants them to come to terms with her death while she’s still alive
A circus creator, who has been given one year to live after a terminal breast cancer diagnosis, says that she won't hide her illness. Nell Gifford, 46, originally from Wiltshire, spoke to the Evening Standard about Giffords Circus, which she created with her ex-husband Toti Gifford in 2000, and how she was honest about her cancer diagnosis with her sons. Mother to nine-year-old twins, she said: 'I hate secrets, they are corrosive. The more people are open about cancer the less scary it is.' Nell was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, after finding a lump in her breast. She has gone on to have three rounds of chemotherapy - losing her hair each time. Talking about her twins, who also star in her circus, she said: 'It's a lot for the children to take on. But if they didn't know they wouldn't be processing it, and they will have to sometime. We are doing it together.' The mother-of-two reveals that she joined at New York State circus at 18 after her mother … [Read more...] about Giffords Circus creator, 46, with terminal cancer has just a year to live but refuses to ‘hide her illness’ from her twins, 9, because she wants them to come to terms with her death while she’s still alive
How did 37 prisoners come to die at Cairo prison Abu Zaabal?
Some time after midday on Sunday 18 August 2013, a young Egyptian film-maker called Mohamed el-Deeb made his last will and testament. It was an informal process. Deeb had no paper on which to sign his name and there was no lawyer present. He simply turned to the man handcuffed next to him and outlined which debts to settle if he should die, and what to say to his mother about the circumstances of his death. Deeb had good reason to fear for his life. He was among 45 prisoners squashed into the back of a tiny, sweltering police truck parked in the forecourt of Abu Zaabal prison, just north-east of Cairo. They had been in the truck for more than six hours. The temperature outside was over 31C, and inside would have been far hotter. There was no space to stand and the prisoners had had almost nothing to drink. Some had wrung out their sweat-drenched shirts and drunk the drops of moisture. Many were now unconscious. Most of the men inside that van were supporters of Mohamed Morsi, … [Read more...] about How did 37 prisoners come to die at Cairo prison Abu Zaabal?
