Дорогие друзья и велоночники!
Мы публикуем полную звуковую дорожку Лондонской Велоночи Velonotte Albertina™, которая состоялась в ночь с 22 на 23 июня 2013.
В ней, напомню, приняли участие выдающиеся английские историки - Эндрю Сэйнт, Филип Мансел, Лайза Пикард, Джерри Уайт и другие.
Итого - 5 часов музыки и историй о принце Альберте и Викторианском Лондоне - от Букингемского дворца через весь Вест-энд, Кенсингтон и Челси и Южный берег до Альберт-Холла и Гайд Парка.

Velonotte (G)hosts: Alexander Herzen & Mikhail Bakunin, brothers in arms!

Herzen and Bakunin as drawn by Dorfmeister for Velonotte 2013

Since the 19th Century London was the place for radical exiles - home to Karl Marx and two of the greatest Russian social reform activists of the time. Alexander Herzen and Mikhail Bakunin were great friends, even if they didn't share a common political platform, with Bakunin being a man of action and Herzen a wordsmith and a conversationalist of the highest order. Our picture dramatizes the meeting of great minds after Bakunin escaped Siberia and arrived to London via California. The pic is based on an anecdote told by Herzen to Goncourt brothers; other versions are not favourable to Herzen: a Bakunin biographer writes that the anarchist was appaled that his Russian friends consume oysters instead of working to ensure the coming of the revolution.
