Members of the Chicago CRA chapter on a visit to Los Angeles CRA chapter.

October 25, 2019 By cra-bm

Members of the CRA Chicago Chapter Mrs. Lydia Swenton and  Mr. Igor Alexeev visited the CRA Los Angeles Chapter and met with some of the LA CRA Chapter members.  In addition to attending the liturgy at the Holy Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Cathedral on Micheltorena Street in Los Angeles, CRA Chapter member, Ludmila Petlitskaya introduced them to Archpriest Nazari Polataiko, rector of the church.   They learned of the history of the church, including some of its more famous parishioners, including Sergei Rachmaninoff and Natalie Wood, and visited the newly established museum, outlining the history of Russians in Los Angeles.

Both CRA Chapters discussed membership, events, projects and possible cooperation between the two chapters, as well as work with government officials, both US and Russian.
