Shkidy

Definition

(Abbreviation) Name of the theatre from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Name,"SHKIDY" – is an acronym in Russian for “School of Culture and Worthy Art”: "School=(Sh)(Shkola) of Culture=(K)(Kultura) &=(I) Worthy=(D)(Dostoyniy) Art=(Y)(Yskusstvo)". But for Russians, and for those who know and love the famous Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky, it has a deeper meaning which can’t be easily translated in to other languages and comes as a part of Russian culture. The simplest translation of “Shkidy” is probably "School of Dostoevsky".
