| Painting in the Russian American Room, Russian and American Cooperation Through History, was dedicated by Mikhail Gorbachev on April 20, 2001.
Commissioned and donated by the American Friends of the Russian Cultural Centre, "ghosted" in the background of the painting are several landmarks of cooperation from Catherine the Great and John Paul Jones, to allies in WWII, to the end of the Cold War, to our continuing joint ventures in space. The crossed flags and Lamp of Knowledge is the symbol of the Friends of the Russian Cultural Centre. The flags are joined to signify that the United States and Russia are allies in war and partners in peace. The Lamp of Knowledge represents both the mission and goal of the institution - "Knowledge of Each Other's Culture is the Key to Peace in the 21st Century" - "That Our Two Nations Never Again Polarize." |
