# List of ambassadors of Russia to Israel

The ambassador and his staff work at large in the Embassy of Russia in Tel Aviv. There is a consulate general in Haifa. The post of Russian Ambassador to Israel is currently held by Anatoly Viktorov [ru], incumbent since 5 April 2018.

## History of diplomatic relations

Diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Israel were formalised in May 1948, not long after the Israeli Declaration of Independence. The first envoy, Pavel Yershov [ru], was appointed on 26 June 1948, and presented his credentials on 17 August that year. Diplomatic relations were briefly suspended by the Soviet government with Yershov's recall in February 1953, but were restored in July that year, and Aleksandr Abramov [ru] was appointed the new envoy in August. Relations were further strengthened the following year with the conversion of the missions to the level of embassies.
In June 1967 the Soviet Union once more broke off relations, over the Six-Day War. For the next thirty years diplomatic relations were officially broken, until a thaw took place under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev. A consular mission was established in August 1987, and on 30 September 1990 this resulted in the opening of consulates, and the appointment of a consul general. On 3 January 1991 diplomatic relations were officially restored, and on 18 October 1991 the consulate general was upgraded to an embassy. Alexander Bovin was appointed as the new ambassador, and presented his credentials on 23 December 1991. With the official dissolution of the Soviet Union two days later, Bovin remained in post as representative of the Russian Federation, serving until 1997.

# Saadallah al-Jabiri Square

# Holy Cross Church, Bergen

Holy Cross Church (Norwegian: Korskirken) is a special parish church in Bergen municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is situated in the centre of the city of Bergen, just east of the head of the Vågen bay. The church is located at the intersection of the streets Kong Oscars gate and Nedre Korskirkeallmenningen. It is one of the churches for the Bergen domprosti parish which is part of the Bergen domprosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The large stone church was built in a cruciform design around the year 1150 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 600 people.

## History

The oldest part of the church dates back to the second half of the 12th century. The first church on the site was built around the year 1150. Holy Cross Church was first mentioned in Sverris saga from 1185. At the time of construction, the church was situated on the shore of Vågen, probably marking the southern border of settlement in Bergen.
The name refers to the True Cross (and not to its cruciform plan), and is rendered in English as "Holy Cross Church" or "Church of the Cross". This is because it was, as one of only a handful Norwegian churches, in possession of a relic from the True Cross. This relic was later stolen by the Danish king, along with several other relics from all over the country, during the Reformation.
Holy Cross Church was damaged in the fires of 1198, 1248, 1413, 1582, 1623, 1640 and 1702; the church originally had two towers, but one was destroyed in the 1582 fire and never rebuilt. It was originally built with straight rectangular plan. The church got its cruciform plan when transepts were added around 1615-1623.
In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year.
The church was a parish church for Holy Cross Church parish in central Bergen from 1320 until 2002. In 2002, several urban parishes in central Bergen were merged to form the "Bergen domkirke" parish. At the same time, Holy Cross Church ceased to be a regular parish church. It was given over to the Church City Mission (Kirkens Bymisjon), and is now a special church in the urban parish. The church is an "open church" that is staffed every day so that people can experience silence or participate in the lighting of candles, conversation, community, attending church services, or listening to music. The Church City Mission focuses a lot on social work among the urban neighborhood as well as religious outreach.

# William Denis Battershill

Sir William Denis Battershill KCMG (29 June 1896 – 11 August 1959) was a British colonial administrator. He was Governor of Cyprus from 1939 to 1941 and Governor of Tanganyika from 1945 to 1949.

## Biography
### Early life and education

Battershill attended King's College in Worcester from 1908 to 1914. After graduating, he enlisted in the British Army, serving in India and Iraq.

### Colonial service

In 1920, he joined the Ceylon Civil Service as a cadet officer, rising to the position of 2nd Assistant Secretary and Clerk to the Legislative Council 1928. Following this, he served variously as Assistant Colonial Secretary in Jamaica, 1929–1935, Colonial Secretary of Cyprus, 1935–1937, Chief Secretary of the Mandate of Palestine, 1937–1939, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Cyprus, 1939–1941, Assistant Under-Secretary of State for the Colonial Office, 1941–1942, and Deputy Under-Secretary for the Tanganyika Territory, 1942–1945.
In 1945 he became Governor of the United Nations Trust Territory of Tanganyika. He was largely known for taking land that had previously been set aside for German settlers during the era of German East Africa and redistributing it to indigenous Africans. He also sought to increase the role of Africans in government by increasing African participation in voting and by replacing European officials with African officials. Battershill also saw to it that it was illegal to pay Africans less than Europeans or Asians for doing the same work in Tanganyika.

### Later life

In the early 1950s he was given a tour of French Algeria, French Guinea and French Indochina. In all of those territories he said that based on the way France was governing he felt the French were "driving those territories into the arms of communism." He also briefly visited Britain's Sierra Leone Colony and Protectorate as well as Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and Anguilla, which he favorably compared to France's colonies. He was of the opinion that Britain's African colonies "can and should govern themselves independently" and that he hoped they would have a positive relationship with Britain once they did, however he warned that the French were alienating people in the three French colonies of French Algeria, French Guinea and French Indochina and the end result of that would be those countries "both separating from France, and also having an acrimonious relationship with her once they do."
In 1959, after a life of public service, he died in Cyprus, where he had chosen to live with his wife in retirement.
