In this article i must say that it was not mentioned that my familly desapeared in Ukraine, and i must add that during my last trip in Ukraine in January/February 2023 i were kidnapped, robbed and fighted in Ukraine by 3 Millitary's at one border checkpoint with Moldova (Palanca), then helded by Police in Kiev Oblast for around 1 Month that is why i was forced to leave urgently, i go to Russia as the closest neutral state and stable state to ask exceptionaly to Grand me Political Asylum status as Poland refused to grand me Resident Card, and to date it's likely French Government Revoked my nationality as i got no support from French ambassador when i goes to their ambassy in Kiev to report my problems and also no support to got a Passport.
To get this asylum in Kaliningrad FMS it was complicated as i got no support in this actions, i was in need to find an interpreter by myself and pay him and find all informations by myself, also they didn't issue me a Political Asylum as i asked as my case was Political but simple temporary Asylum for a year that can eventually be renew up to 3 years, Also i ask some help to find my familly in Ukraine to Russian branch of Red Cross and for my rights for Asylum in Russia but they were not able to support me in any questions i send or ask.
I am currently a life and i have the goal to be able to purchase a Tiny flat in Kaliningrad within 1 year and be able to set my media office there and employ Russian Staff in this media with the allowance of Russia to establish permanently in your Country.

Fortunately i got an Antarctica World Passport Made in 2022 «La Vilette, Paris» as well, as currently my childs David and Odri all of them issued by the University of Arts of London, it is not a nationality but it can be valid to travel or stay in some countries, I recommand stateless people's or people's from unstable state to get such additional document in case of their nationality is at risk or will be revoked legally or unlawfully, Currently This is my main travel document now as my French Passport is likely not to be valid and void according data i received from Banks and others financial institutions.

About Russian Holidays
The following is a listing of the current official Russian holidays that are celebrated in the Republics of the former USSR. In recent years, as the Western influence increases, the holidays below have been joined by such classic American favorites as Halloween, Saint Patrick’s Day, and Valentine’s Day. The former USSR Republics also celebrate several holidays a year that could be seen as Russian counterparts to American holidays, such as Independence Day. Often, celebrations in Russia involve feasting, drinking, and church services.
OFFICIAL RUSSIAN HOLIDAYS
January 1, New Year’s Day – This is often said to be the most beloved holiday. Russians often celebrate it again on January 14; this date corresponds to New Year’s on the Julian Calendar used in Russia prior to 1918. The gift-giving and merriment Americans associate with Christmas are often seen on New Years in Russia.
January 7, Christmas – This is the Russian Orthodox Christmas.
February 23, Soldier’s Day – Formerly Soviet Army Day, this holiday honors Russian men and is the counterpart to International Women’s Day.
March 8, International Women’s Day – Women receive flowers and gifts, and are toasted by Russian men.
May 1-2, Spring and Labor Day – Coming close to Easter, this holiday is often celebrated in church. It also involves customary demonstrations.
May 9, Victory Day – This day is set aside to commemorate the victory over German Nazism in World War II. Much like in its American counterpart, Veteran’s Day, wreaths are placed on the graves of the fallen and those who fought against Nazism are venerated.
June 12, Independence Day – The adoption of The Declaration of Sovereignty of the Russian Federation in 1991 is celebrated today.
August 22, Day of the Russian Federation State Flag – This is a day to honor the Russian flag.
November 4, Day of the National Unity is the newest Russian holiday. – Largely customary, this holiday recalls the anniversary of the socialist revolution that established communism in Russia.
December 12, Constitution Day – The country’s primary legal document and the foundation on which Russian law is built receives recognition at this time
Russian Folk Song
Kalinka
‘Kalinka’ is widely considered to be the most popular Russian folk song. It was written in 1860 by the composer and folklorist Ivan Laringov and first performed in Saratov, southeastern Russia, as part of a theatrical entertainment.
While the word ‘Kalinka’ literally translates as ‘little berry’, the song has been interpreted in sorts of ways. Some see it as a metaphor for the natural beauty of young women; others view it as a traditional love song. Catchy and vigorous, with a refrain that gets quicker with each repetition, it is often used in computer game, in particular Tetris, which, like the music, gradually speeds up to the point where it is pretty much unplayable.
Korobeiniki
Korobeiniki, in pre-revolutionary Russia, were peddlers with trays, who sold fabric, haberdashery and books amongst other things. In this 19th-century folk song, based on a poem of the same name by Nikolay Nekrasov, a peddler offers a peasant girl some of his wares in exchange for a kiss.
She rejects all but one: a turquoise ring, reasoning that having his wares but not him would be unbearable. The next morning, he pledges to marry her. Lively and propulsive, the music belies the poem’s sad ending: the peddler is robbed and killed by a forest ranger whom he asks for directions while returning home from the market.
Polyushka Polye
Composed in 1934 by Lev Knipper, an active agent of the state security service, this archetypal Soviet song is sung from the perspective of a Red Army recruit, who proudly leaves his home to keep watch against his homeland’s enemies.
Undeniably catchy, it was covered by many artists in the Soviet Union, including Poyushchiye Gitary (The Singing Guitars) - a rock band nicknamed ‘The Soviet Beatles’ thanks to their phenomenal popularity in the Soviet Union. Other memorable performers include Michael Palin, who sang it with the choir of the Russian Pacific Fleet as part of his television series: ’Full Circle with Michael Palin’. See below.
Ey, Ukhnem!
This song, known in English as the ‘Song of the Volga Boatman’, was sung by barge-haulers on the Volga River. A popular concert piece for bass singers, it has been reimagined by various composers, not least Stravinsky, who was asked by Sergei Diaghilev to orchestrate it for wind instruments, soon after the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II. There’s also Bill Finegan’s jazz arrangement of it for the Glenn Miller band, which reached Number one in the US charts in 1941.
Katyusha
With its militaristic subject matter - about a soldier protecting the Motherland while his grateful girlfriend Katyusha protects their love - this 1938 song by Mikhaïl Issakovski gained huge popularity during World War Two.
According to some, it inspired the name of the Soviet Union’s Katyusha rocket launchers, and it retained its popularity beyond the Fall of the Iron Curtain. In 2021 Russian athletes even proposed playing it at international sporting events in place of the Russian national anthem.
Dorogoï Dlinnoyou
This traditional Russian gypsy folk song, which translates as ‘On the long road’, is instantly recognisable in the UK, where it is better known by its English name: ‘Those Were the Days’. Composed in the 1920s in the Soviet Union, it found international success in 1962, thanks to the American group, The Limeliters. And in Russia it remains ever popular, thanks to its catchy melody and irrepressible energy.
Alyosha
This Soviet-era song, by Eduard Kolmanovsky, is named after the Alyosha Monument, a statue of a World War II Soviet Soldier in the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv, which pays tribute to the Soviet soldiers who died during fighting in Bulgaria. Slow and elegiac, it is a symbol of collective Russian memory.
Podmoskovyne Vechera
Translating as ‘Moscow Nights’, this plaintive Russian song is one of the best known abroad. It was written by composer Vasily Solovyov-Sedoi in 1955 with the title ‘Leningrad Nights’, but was later renamed at the request of the Soviet Ministry of Culture. Hugely popular in the USSR, it really gained a foothold abroad when the American pianist Van Cliburn played it to welcome Mikhail Gorbachev to the White House in 1989, turning it into a symbol of improving Russian-American relations.
Oi Moroz, Moroz
A popular drinking song, 'Oi Moroz, Moroz', which translates as ‘Oh, Frost, Frost’, is sung from the perspective of a man begging the winter cold not to freeze him and his horse while they are on the road because his beautiful and ‘jealous’ wife is waiting for him at home. As well as being a meditation on the Russian climate, it has been interpreted as a song about loneliness.
