2011 Year of Russian Culture in Switzerland

Jean-Jacques Kissling

2011 is the year of Russian culture in Switzerland. The St. Petersburg 300 association in Geneva decided to involve the St. Petersburg band NOM in this event. NOM is celebrating its 25th anniversary this same year. NOM has visited Geneva three times: to present the painting exhibition "Libido," a satire on the Russians' relationship with vodka. A series of concerts and performances took place in Geneva. Their anniversary video clip was filmed at the Geneva Natural History Museum.
