Second Eastern European Psychiatric Congress

Moscow, Russian Federation 27-30 October 2009

First Announcement

Invitation Dear colleagues, We are very pleased to invite you to join us for the 2nd Eastern European Psychiatric Congress which will take place in Moscow, Russian Federation, October 27-30, 2009. This Congress follows the very successful First Eastern European Congress that took place in Thessaloniki, Greece in September 2007. The Psychiatric Association for Eastern Europe and the Balkans is rather young, but psychiatry in our region has a long-standing tradition and rapid recent development. The state of the art in mental health is characterized by a variety of challenges in diagnosis, aetiology, pathogenesis and management of mental diseases, psychosomatic and stress-related disorders as well as challenges regarding hot issues like suicide and re-organization of psychiatric services towards community direction. The consequences of the transition in the countries of the former socialist system, natural and man-made disasters, war conflicts, the ecological situation – all these factors constitute new tasks in psychiatry today. The high prevalence of socially significant mental illnesses and the wide range of treatment approaches set a mission to mental health professionals. One of the main additional challenges for psychiatry in our days is collaboration with other mental health care professionals, a collaboration that should be achieved with respect for expertise and for each other’s “territory”, if we want to fulfill our obligation to improve the care of our patients. We have a good opportunity to discuss all these topics in the friendly atmosphere of mutual collaboration. Looking forward to welcoming you all personally in Russia to the Second East European Congress of the PAEEB, in October 2009, .

Also, you will visit one of the oldest convents in Russia, the Novodevishiy Convent. The Novodevichy Convent is one of the most famous in the country. It was founded in 1524 by Grand Duke Vasily III. Some time the convent served as a place of imprisonment for those who were out of favor. For instance, Peter the Great s sister Tsarevna Sofia and his first wife Evdokia Lopuhina had to live here (after they were forced to take the veil).

During the Patriotic War of 1812 Napoleon gave an order to blow up the convent. Nevertheless, the nuns managed to save it. At the end of the 19th century, an orphan-asylum for ignoble children was established in the convent. In 1922, the convent was abolished, and on its territory a museums was established. In 1994, the convent was re-established. The architectural ensemble of the convent comprises fortifications, Smolensky Cathedral, a belfry, dwelling houses and church buildings.

In the course of the excursion you will learn many interesting facts about Russian history, get acquainted with the legendary places of Moscow and admire the treasures of the Armory Museum and the Diamond Fund. During the tour you will make a stop in the Kremlin, which is the symbol of Russian statehood and contains historic relics, cultural and artistic monuments. Its walls and towers, gilded domes of cathedrals and magnificent palaces rise high above the Moscow River and create a splendid architectural ensemble. The ensemble of the Moscow Kremlin with its palaces and cathedrals had been formed for many centuries. It is

included in the list of the UNESCO cultural and natural heritage. The Kremlin always served as the administrative center of Russia, and it still remains as such. Nowadays on the Kremlin territory the residence of the President of Russian Federation is situated. You are welcome to visit the main attractions of the Kremlin, which include the detailed excursion to one of the cathedrals located on the territory of Kremlin of your choice. The Arkhangelsky Cathedral is the burial place of the great Moscow princes and tsars. Here there are graves of Ivan Kalita, Dmitri Donskoi, Ivan the Terrible, Mikhail and Aleksey Romanovs. In the cathedral, there are 47 tombstones and 2 shrines. The walls of the cathedral are decorated with the unique portrait gallery of Moscow rulers and their glorious ancestors. The Uspensky Cathedral for many centuries had been the main temple of Russia. It was here that the official ceremonies of the Emperors’ coronations and other state important events took place. Nowadays the visitors of the Uspensky Cathedral can see the magnificent iconostasis, one of the largest in Russia collections of ancient icons, the famous prayer place of Ivan the Terrible and unique historical necropolis. The Annunciation Cathedral used to be the private temple of Moscow princes and tsars. It contains the valuable collection of monumental painting and precious iconostasis. Some of the icons of the cathedral might be painted by famous Feofan Grek and Andrey Rublev.

The Armory started to function in the early 16th century as the storehouse for the Kremlin weaponry. However, within a few decades the structure had gained the added function of a workshop and repository for all sorts of treasures of the Imperial court. In 1813 the Armory building became an exhibition hall and museum. The collection of the Armory is overwhelming.
