Name 97th Street in NYC after Patriarch Tikhon
The Congress of Russian Americans (CRA) is a national non-profit organization, founded in the United States in 1973, with thousands of members, American citizens of Russian ancestry and heritage, and is the recognized voice of Russian Americans. Many of our members have made exceptional contributions to US society, economy and national security. The Hall of Fame of the CRA includes a Nobel Prize laureate, as well as other Russian American innovators, artists and leaders in humanities, arts and sciences, of whom many had been CRA members for many years.
CRA supports the recent proposal and petition to co-name 97th Street in New York City, after Patriarch Tikhon, the great civic and spiritual leader, who lived and worked on 97th Street in the early 20th century. Patriarch Tikhon was the head of the Russian Orthodox Church in the United States from 1898 to 1907, and from 1917 to the time of his death in 1925, as the 11th Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia.
On May 22, 1901 Patriarch Tikhon blessed the cornerstone of the future St. Nicholas Cathedral on the 97th Street. The ceremony was attended by many New Yorkers, politicians and mayor of Brooklyn and New York City. Patriarch Tiknon lead the fund-raising efforts in the U.S. and Russia for building of the St. Nicholas Cathedral.
Czar Nicholas II himself donated 5,000 rubles (equivalent to about $5,000 US now) for building of this cathedral. In 1902 the process of building was finished; the cathedral was officially consecrated and became the residence of Patriarch Tikhon. In 1905 St. Nicholas Cathedral became the official center of the Russian Orthodox Church in the United States. In those days the Orthodox Christian communities of many cultures were in the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church, including Aleutians, some Native Americans, and Americans of Greek, Romanian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Arabic, Ukrainian, and Russian descent.
One of the most important periods of Patriarch Tikhon’s life, in the first decade of the 20th century, was dedicated to the United States, where his official residence and headquarters were in the St. Nicholas Cathedral on 97th Street in New York. Thus, we respectfully ask for your support in co-naming the 97th Street after Patriarch Tikhon, one of the most prominent residents in the history of the 97th Street.

World Russia Forum-2015
CRA President, Natalie Sabelnik and CRA Washington representative & East Coast Director, Serge Rogosin attended the World Russia Forum in Washington DC on March 25-26, and the Russia Forum NY in New York on March 27. Both forums, of which CRA was one of the sponsors, brought together hundreds of individuals whose professional lives involve Russia to discuss US-Russia diplomatic and business relations against the backdrop of the crisis in eastern Ukraine. Leading American and Russian experts from the field of politics, education, culture, and media participated in discussions at the forum in Washington DC, and from business, sciene and innovation in New York. Throughout both forums, the urgent need for understanding, proactive diplomacy and respect for each nation’s geopolitical interests were heard, and members of the American media resonated that the current news being reported in the US, was very one-sided and clear evidence of being extremely biased.
Speakers at the 35th annual World Russia Forum included Dana Rohrabacher, Stephen Cohen, Ray McGovern, Robert Parry, Gilbert Doctorow, Patrick L. Smith, Katrina vanden Heuvel. and members of US media, including Charles Bausman, editor of Russia Insider. Panel of speakers at the Russia Forum NY including Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, Dmitry Akhanov, Michael Averko, James Min, and Peter Pettibone. CRA President gave the introduction at the Russia Forum NY, and suggested that both economies – Russia and US could only benefit if they worked together, and that it was time to end this continuous Cold War, as US and Russia have always been allies.
This year, especially, is important to note, as it is the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII, and it was Soviet and American troops alliance that defeated Nazi Germany in 1945. Natalie Sabelnik was an honorary guest that evening for Princess Diana Bagrationi’s fundraiser and tribute to P.Tchaikovsky, at the Russian Consulate NY for children with Down Syndrome. N.Sabelnik presented D.Bagrationi and VK Productions with an honorary proclamation, thanking them for their continued humanitarian aid work, and preservation of Russian culture and the arts.

Нью-Йорк: Акция против русофобии
6 февраля 2015 года в центре Нью-Йорка перед началом спектакля в Линкольн-центре, где находится всемирно известный театр Метрополитен-опера, прошла акция в поддержку российских артистов, выступавших в это время в Метрополитен-опера, и против распространения русофобии. Недавние попытки сорвать выступления оркестра под управлением Валерия Гергиева и оперной дивы Анны Нетребко организаторы считают не чем иным, как частью информационной войны и попыткой создать напряженность в отношениях между Россией и США.
Организаторы акции заявили о неприемлемости политических демонстраций, направленных против российских артистов и музыкантов, выступающих в эти дни в Нью-Йорке. Проявление русофобии, заявил один из организаторов акции Дэниэл Берк, является частью информационной войны, способствует нагнетанию ситуации и созданию напряженности между Россией и США. Демонстранты настаивают на необходимости учиться договариваться, ведь агрессивная политика не просто бессмысленна, она опасна.
