Background on the
Sarasota – Vladimir Relationship
Vladimir, Oblast,
Federation of Russia – Theater, Venice Schools & Rotary Ties
In l994 Sarasota
twinned with Vladimir, the part of Oblast Russia, because of a tie between the
Rotary Club of the Keys and a new club in Vladimir which continues today. On
October 29, 1994, City of Sarasota Mayor Nora Patterson led a delegation to
Vladimir for the first official signing of the partnership agreement. In April
of 1995, a year that marked the Millennium Anniversary of the City of Vladimir,
Mayor Igor Shimov led a large delegation for the official signing in Sarasota
The City of Vladimir is renowned as the
first capital of ancient Russia and is a part of the Golden Ring of ancient
cities with a rich culture and history.
It dates back to the 1100's with today's focus on development of tourist
attractions while maintaining an impressive focus on the arts and education as
well as industry. A beautiful city, three hours from Moscow on the Klyazma
River, it was the ancient capital of Russia.
Past exchanges have included visits by
Vladimir government officials to Sarasota, joint programs involving Vladimir
State University, Sungir Open Air Museum, the Razgulai Folk Theater and environmental
& sustainability programs. The most successful program involves the Florida
Studio Theater Young Playwright program.
FST professionals went to Vladimir to engage Russian students in acting
and playwriting. Vladimir students frequently have been chosen winners in the
Florida Studio Theatre’s annual Young Playwright competition, and visit
Sarasota to be honored and see their play presented by professional actors.
