193 PERSONALS: Winter Reading: Secrets and stories from our favourite people

2 3

One of Angarsk’s first neighbourhoods was the Cement Workers’ Town. It is located far from the centre and comprises 53 two-storey apartment blocks, which literally stand in the shadow of the enormous cement factory. It was a Stalinist model village, complete with pompous cultural centre and three-tiered fountain on the high street. The inhabitants of Cement Town once lived to the rhythm of the factory bell. There was work, the children went to school and a social services system took care of basic needs. But in the 1990s, everything fell apart. Rival clans fought relentlessly for control of the cement factory. The most difficult years were 1996–1998. The factory was plundered and bankrupted. Cement Town inhabitants were left to their own devices.

Today, the chimneys of the factory have started to smoke again, but Cement Town residents have seen little of the new economic prosperity. Cement Town has been written off, the neighbourhood erased from the balance sheet. Many people have left. Vagrants occupy the empty flats, the primary school has burned down and almost no one works in the factory anymore. Back in the centre of Angarsk, they call Cement Town a ‘no-go area’. As for the suburb’s residents, they are ‘nothing more than junkies and shit artists!’ If a fight is reported, the police do not respond.

Everyone advises us not to go there, particularly at the weekend, when there is a disco at the cultural centre. We take the warnings to heart and find a trio of bodyguards willing to accompany us on an evening out in Cement Town. Leading the group is Dmitri, a police officer who would later style himself as ‘the Brain’. He calls his colleague, Valeri, ‘the Eyes’ and the ex-soldier, Slava, is ‘the Pitbull’. Before we go in, we drain a bottle of vodka at the edge of the village. On the boot of the car, Valeri slices bread and bacon and Slava shows us films on his mobile, which he recorded himself during his tour of duty in Chechnya. Our bodyguards are small but sturdy fellows.

They instruct us that if things turn nasty, we should make our escape as quickly as possible in the car. They will handle the rest.

Once we are inside the cultural centre, such a scenario seems unlikely. A few giggly teenagers hang around the entrance and on the dance floor, everything looks amicable. Most of the crowd is made up of girls, and they are busy dancing. It is almost a disappointment. Perhaps the bandits will turn up later?

- If a fight is reported, the police do not respond -

On the way back into the city, Dmitri stops off at the village shop and sends Slava in for a bottle of vodka. In the car, Dmitri tells us that Slava waved a pistol around in the cloakroom of the cultural centre. According to him, a couple of the guys had less than noble intentions, and he thought his actions would draw them out.

‘It very nearly ended badly. Once Slava gets going, he sees red,’ Dmitri says ominously. Dmitri claims that if he had not intervened, things would definitely have escalated. That was worth a toast. In the beam of the headlights, we see Slava coming out of the shop. He grins and brandishes a bottle.

On our second visit to Cement Town, we decide to go without protection. We have an appointment with DJ Artyom. During the week, Artyom works at the shunting yard of the local railway. At the weekend he is a DJ at the cultural centre. He has to laugh about all the things that are said about Cement Town. ‘Of course there are some shady characters here. And things happen, you know. But I know everyone and what they are all up to. I make sure they don’t mess with my equipment.’

Birch saplings grow in the cultural centre’s gutters and the building is completely run down. Artyom rents the old theatre auditorium from the city council. He plays electro-house and buys his music from the kiosk in Irkutsk, 50 kilometres away. Downloading takes too long; the telephone lines are so bad that they are barely able to process data.

He reckons on a crowd of about 30 people on Friday nights, twice as many on Saturdays, when the kids from the nearby village, Kitoi, turn up. Entrance costs 50 Rubles, about USD1.50. He invests his profits in new equipment. He hopes to be able to save enough for a professional set. His biggest dream is to play in other cities and most of all, of course, abroad.

In the cultural centre’s cellar, Artyom has hung up a punching bag. This is the sports hall. It is pitch black here and all the fuses are burnt through. Flicking on his lighter so he can see, he presses the end of an electrical cable against the positive and negative poles of the burn fuse. There is a crackle and a small shower of sparks fly out of the switch, but then a small bulb starts to burn. Only Artyom and his friends have the key to the cellar. ‘The younger guys always make such a fucking mess of the place.’ He expects nothing from the government of the cement factory. In fact, he would rather be left alone. ‘But still, it would be great, of course,’ Artyom fantasises. ‘We don’t need much to turn this place into something beautiful. Look at it already. We did all of this ourselves.’

KEY PHARMACEUTICAL MEDICINES

CHANTIX/CHAMPIX$883 MILLION +773%Chantix (marketed outside the U.S. as Champix) is the first smoking cessation therapy approved in more than 10 years. In clinical trials, Chantix was considerably more effective at helping smokers quit than either placebo or a competitive prescription product. Chantix is offered with an individualized, self-directed patient support program. By the end of 2008, this non-nicotine-based therapy was available in 41 major markets. In the U.S. alone, Chantix has been prescribed for more than 4.5 million smokers. A branded advertising program was launched in the U.S. in 2008. (See page 15 for more information on Chantix/Champix.)

GEODON/ZELDOX$854 MILLION +13%Geodon (marketed outside the U.S. as Zeldox) is an atypical antipsychotic medicine approved in more than 85 markets for the treatment of schizophrenia as well as for acute mania and mixed episodes associated with bipolar disorder. Geodon offers dosing flexibility, proven efficacy and a favorable metabolic profile.

SUTENT$581 MILLION +166%Sutent is a breakthrough cancer treatment for two hard-to-treat types of cancer, metastatic renal cell carcinoma and imatinib-resistant or -intolerant gastrointestinal stromal tumor. It works by blocking two basic processes—proliferation and angiogenesis—that cause cancers to grow and spread. Sutent was approved both in the U.S. and in the E.U. in 2006 and has subsequently received earlier-than-anticipated approvals in several other countries in Asia and Latin America. In 2008, the E.U. granted Sutent full marketing authorization and an extension of its indication to first-line treatment of advanced and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma. (See page 14 for more information on Sutent.)

ZOLOFT$531 MILLION –75%Zoloft is approved in the U.S. for six mood and anxiety disorders, the broadest range of such disorders of any antidepressant. It is the only approved medicine for the long-term treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder and social anxiety disorder. Pfizer no longer has exclusivity in the U.S. for Zoloft. However, the company retains exclusive marketing rights in several markets, including Japan, where Zoloft was introduced as Zoloft in mid-2006.

LIPITOR$12.7 BILLION –2%Despite heavy competition from branded and generic treatments, Lipitor remains the best-selling medicine to treat elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and is prescribed to prevent cardiovascular disease. Lipitor is proven to reduce the risk of a heart attack, stroke, revascularizations and angina in patients with multiple risk factors for coronary heart disease. Although Lipitor has been available to patients for 10 years, Pfizer continues to leverage the extensive Lipitor clinical program to demonstrate this medicine’s clinical and economic value. In 2008, Lipitor became the first cholesterol lowering therapy to receive FDA approval for reducing the risk of hospitalisation for heart failure in patients with congestive heart disease. (See page 13 for more information on Lipitor.)

LYRICA$1.8 BILLION +58%Lyrica is a powerful option for treating a variety of neurological conditions. It is widely approved for patients experiencing diabetic nerve pain and for those with postherpetic neuralgia, the pain that often follows shingles. Lyrica is also prescribed in many markets for partial onset seizures for adults who are already taking one or more antiseizure medicines. In 2008, in the U.S., Lyrica became the fi rst medicine approved to treat fibromyalgia, a condition affecting as many as 6 million women and characterized by chronicwidespread pain, poor sleep, stiffness and fatigue. In the E.U., Lyrica is approved for adults diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, a common and chronic psychiatric disorder affecting as many as 12 million people in Europe every year. (See the cover and inside front cover for more information on Lyrica.)

VIAGRA$1.8 BILLION +6%One of the world’s best-known pharmaceutical brands, Viagra continues to be the world’s leading treatment for erectile dysfunction. Viagra is backed by far more patient experience than any competing treatment, and has been shown to work safely and effectively in men of all ages, men who have diffi culty all of the time or just some of the time, and men with other health issues, such as high blood pressure, depression and diabetes.

XALATAN/XALACOM$1.6 BILLION +10%Xalatan is one of the world’s leading branded treatments for glaucoma, the second-mostprevalent cause of blindness in the world. Xalatan’s once-a-day dosing reduces pressure in the eye which may cause damage to the optic nerve if not treated. Xalacom (a combination of Xalatan and the beta-blocker timolol) offers a single daily dose that provides greater effi cacy for patients with insuffi cient response to treatment with one agent.

ZYRTEC/ ZYRTEC D$1.5 BILLION –2%In late December 2008, the U.S. patent for Zyrtec expired. Pfizer ceased selling the product in late January 2008, since the rights to market a nonprescription version of Zyrtec were conveyed to Johnson & Johnson in the 2006 sale of Pfizer’s Consumer Healthcare division.

ALL ABOARDTHE NEW MUSEUM!

WORLD’S FIRST UNDERGROUNDMain line railways made it easier to get to London, but also contributed to the growing congestion on the streets. In 1860 work began on the first attempt to solve the problem: an underground railway. The Metropolitan Railway was designed to link three of London’s main line termini with the City. The track was laid mostly in a shallow cutting excavated along the street, which was then roofed over. This method was known as cut-and-cover construction. The first section of the Metropolitan opened from Paddington to Farringdon on 10 January 1863. A second underground line, the District, began operating five years later. The two were eventually linked to create the Circle line in 1884. The early underground was a huge engineering achievement and very well used, but had one big disadvantage. Its steam locomotives created a permanent sulphurous fug in the stations and tunnels. The only surviving steam engine from the 1860s, Metropolitan number 23, is on display in the Museum.

LONDON IN THE 1920s AND 1930sThe 1920s and 1930s brought important innovations to improve safety, comfort and efficiency for people travelling around London. They were sorely needed. The move from horse-drawn vehicles to motorized ones brought a dramatic rise in fatal road accidents in the Capital. There were 186 road deaths in 1901, but this leapt to 1362 people killed in 1929. Not until 1934 were compulsory driving tests and an urban speed limit of 30mph (48kmh) imposed on drivers. By the 1920s, buses had overtaken trams in popularity. Covered top decks and pneumatic tyres made buses more comfortable, and many new routes were introduced to link up London’s new suburbs. Buses were also cheaper to modernize and maintain. Electric trolleybuses were introduced, which were powered using the same overhead lines as trams but rode on wheels rather than rails. Trolleybuses could be steered like a motorbus and there was no expensive track to maintain. They remained in use until the introduction of diesel buses after the Second World War.

THE NEW MUSEUM OPENED ON 22 NOVEMBER AFTER A TWO YEAR, £22 MILLION REFURBISHMENT AND REDESIGN PROJECT.

The Museum received a grant of £9.4 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund and very generous support from almost 100 corporate partners, trusts and foundations. New galleries tell the story of the development of London, its transport systems and the people who travelled and worked on them over the last 200 years. As well as exploring the past, the new Museum looks at future transport developments and how transport has shaped five other world cities - Delhi, New York, Paris, Shanghai and Tokyo. Stunning new galleries feature original artworks and advertising posters, and explore the extraordinary design heritage of London’s transport system, as well as London transport at war and the expansion of the capital through the development of the London Underground.

LONDON TRANSPORT DESIGNFrom the 1920s London Underground and London Transport developed a strong and distinctive visual identity based on a culture of good design. This came from the commitment and influence of one man, Frank Pick. He became the Underground’s Managing Director and was later the first Chief Executive of London Transport.

Pick changed the face of London through his design management, commissioning the very best designers and artists, and insisting on the highest standards in transport architecture, engineering, graphics and information systems.

ART FOR ALL: 100 YEARS OF POSTER DESIGNExplore the world’s largest and most varied collection of transport artworks and poster publicity. There are more than 5000 designs in the London Transport Museum Poster Collection, all now available to browse online.

CYCLINGMelbourne is Australia’s only capital city with an extensive network of dedicated bike lanes on the roads. Bike lanes increase safety and encourage bicycle use. There are also plenty of bicycle parking in and around the city, with 1215 bicycle hoops throughout the municipality.Cyclists riding in and out of the CBD on business days are increasing in number. A Council survey in February 2005 during morning peak hour at major intersections counted 5,744 cyclists passing through the CBD. Bicycle Victoria undertook a full day count in Swanston Street and counted 2,400 cyclists, which projects to 12,000 per day in the CBD.

SKATING IN THE CITYSkaters are welcome in the City of Melbourne.Sharing busy city streets with others can be tricky, especially when trying to dodge shoppers, prams, pets and small children. The City of Melbourne has guidelines for skaters and other footpath users, to help avoid conflict (or worse, collisions) on our streets.

RIVERSLIDE SKATEPARKThe Riverslide Skatepark, in the Alexandra Gardens, is a five-minute skate from Flinders Street Railway Station.Riverslide has 1800m2 of skating surfaces and is the biggest skate park in the inner city. The park was designed in consultation with skaters, and has a street-skating focus so you can test your stuff on ramps and fun-boxes.

PERFORMANCE CALENDAR

Kenneth KvarnstromOne of Europe’s most revered choreographers, Kenneth Kvarnstrom, will make his Australian debut, applying the sensibilities of this beyond-cutting-edge-choreographer to the creation of a full length work for the Sydney Dance Company.

Finnish born Kenneth Kvarnstrom’s work is imbued with a bold and distinctive visual stamp as a result of his frequent collaborations with light and set designers of his choice; artists whose technical skills and personalities have combined to inspire the overall energy of his creations.

For several years the director of the Helsinki City Theatre Dance Company and of the esteemed Dansens Hus in Stockholm, where he presented the finest of international dance artists, Kvarnstrom has now returned to a career of creative diversity, reapplying his creative energies to his own K. Kvarnstrom & Co and making commissioned works for Gothenburg Ballet, Helsinki Dance Company and Finnish National Ballet.

Rafael BonachelaBorn in Barcelona, Award winning choreographer, Rafael Bonachela as been described by the Sunday Times Magazine as “the next big thing” and by ID magazine as among “the hottest of international talent.” Rafael Bonachela describes himself as a movement junkie and the exploration and experimentation of pure movement is his motivation.

He has an impeccable pedigree, having been a stand-out dancer at Rambert Dance Company, where he went on to choreograph as many as 7 new works. Rafael Bonachela emerged as a choreographer committed to innovation. He is now director of his own Bonachela Dance Company.

Rafael moves seamlessly between the mainstream and the avant garde. Recent commissions include works for George Piper Dances, Dies de Dansa Festival Barcelona, Candoco, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba, David Hughes Dance Company for the Edinburgh Festival, Dance Works Rotterdam, English Chamber Orchestra and Kylie Minogue’s award-winning Fever Tour and the 2005 Showgirl Tour.

Rafael BonachelaBonachela’s we unfold is effectively a dual arts premiere, with choreography set to the world premiere of Symphony No 1 for Orchestra and Solo Cello by celebrated Italian composer Ezio Bosso.

“When I heard this new symphony I was completely swept away. I could immediately see my new work arising out of it”, says Rafael Bonachela. “Through his music, Ezio creates tensions that take me to a very emotional place. When I hear it I feel then I see. Movement for me is no longer a pure physicality but an instinctual and emotional response to Ezio’s incredible composition. This new symphony is quite simply breathtaking”.

we unfold is Bonachela’s second full length work for the Company following the success of the dynamic 360° created in 2008. It is his first work as Artist Director.

“His dance is like a spray of bullets that hit their target.” The Times, London.
