Question: When did Roger Cohen write "Counterrevolutionary Russia?"

Answer: June 26

<hl> Re “Counterrevolutionary Russia” ( June 26 ) by Roger Cohen: There have been two alternative social, political and intellectual currents with deep roots in Russia. <hl> The neo-Slavophile current exerted significant influence in the past and is re-emerging as a strong political orientation in Vladimir Putin’s Russia, as Mr. Cohen notes with alarm. This illiberal ideology emphasizes the uniqueness of the “Russian World” with its Eastern Orthodox faith, and is providing Russian foreign policy with a renewed regional assertiveness as an Orthodox power that will protect its perceived core: Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Seen in that light, the intervention in Ukraine is not only to further strategic interests, but also Russian moral values and sense of honor.

Question: Under which leader did the Neo-Westernizer current exert itself?

The other current has been the neo-Westernizer, which re-exerted itself strongly during the Mikhail Gorbachev years and gave rise to his world-transforming ideas and ideals.

Unimagined opportunities for cooperation to fashion a more peaceful world may have been possible if Mr. Gorbachev had been able to continue his revolution. Unfortunately, given the popularity of the neo-Slavophile current in today’s Russia, the world is facing a new Cold War. Reza Fakhari, Brooklyn, N.Y.

Question: How was Frank's diary written?

But everything they say is drawn from works produced two decades apart: “The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition,” the unexpurgated version of Frank’s Holocaust journal, and “Letter From a Birmingham Jail,” a rebuke to Southern white clergymen that Dr. King wrote while imprisoned for civil disobedience in Alabama in 1963. “I tried to match passages,” Ms. Vaughn said.

At various locations; full schedule is on the website; 212-349-0330, gkids.com/fest2015. ‘Pilobolus Rules!’ (Saturday and Sunday) Anyone can see a dance performed, but what about seeing it unperformed? In this program from the BAMkids series at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the renowned troupe Pilobolus will unspool four of its signature works — “Walklyndon,” “Pseudopodia,” “The Transformation” and “All Is Not Lost” — so that children can gain insight into the creative process.

These heroines aren’t like their traditional selves — Snow White, for instance, is allergic to apples — and neither are their princes, who may be more clumsy than charming. (Through May 9.)

Question: Who is the black swan?

Finally a major New York ballet company has a black swan.
