Was a wonderful day, night thunderstorm washed away from the streets and the human soul all evil, and washed out to shine sky flashed a double rainbow We met with Alex near the under construction business center Moscow City>> at the gates of typography, which he brought to the layout of a regular wall calendar "Moscow of our childhood>. Landrin: I will not pretend that we're strangers or acquaintances recently and nodding, but I am a journalist, which is at your own risk decided to interview the extraordinary, but not so well known and certainly not glamorous artist.

Quick: Yeah, all over the world Landrin: As far as I know: from Australia through Europe to Canada. And yet, why old Moscow?

Soviet Cinema

Posted by B - October 25th, 2011

Soviet cinema from the beginning was considered by authorities as a powerful ideological influence on the masses, which are now passed into the category of the electorate. In this sense enough to recall the winged expression of Vladimir Lenin on which of the arts, in his view, is "for us" the most important. And along with awareness-raising functions, Soviet films quite kind to the institution of marriage and family advancing into the heads of the audience the moral values of health and family life, what is the unit of society. Healthy family – healthy society is a very simple and indisputable logical connection. However, like any art, film attempted to consider including family issues from different perspectives. "They lived happily ever after – that's great, but boring for the viewer. No need to receive special education to understand: where the conflict, where the intrigue – where the viewer freezes and fed to the screen. Let's recall just such problematic films.

For example, the "Three Poplars at . Actually, there is nothing special and does not, is not it? The heroine stays in the locked apartment, her going to the movies with randomly encountered a taxi driver did not take place, and the fact that this meeting has turned her whole soul What is the "soul"? Popovsky things, the Soviet man uninteresting! True, a relative of Nura is living in a civil marriage, and her opinion does not matter brother, who – give him the will – would have brought in the family's sister order, as he understands it. Ah, the city, as he originally corrupting impact on patriarchal villagers! That is now on the offensive exemplary Soviet family means thaw cinema. It was in 70-80 years there is a large number of paintings in which a very dramatic circumstances occurs before our eyes, breaking the old "exemplary" and in all senses prosperous Soviet family. And what is generally exemplary Soviet family? Watch the movie "Officers", where everything is perfect, where love and respect, where service to the Motherland at the heart. Wisdom and patience Soviet wives based on such a reference family.

But in the first part of the film was scheduled by the heroine's rebellion, remember? Yet the scars from bullet wounds on her back her husband, this rebellion is stopped. Before the "Little Faith" appeared in Soviet box office movies of concern, namely on the uneasy relationship in the family shot. Again appeal to the cult of Oscar-winning film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears." This is where family models are represented in the assortment – From fully collapsed to the ideal of marriage, while it becomes clear that the social order, how much it has no effect on people unable to guarantee an unbroken and ideal family. Because even under socialism, even if developed, the soul is not going away. A soul must be understanding, compassion, dedication. And sometimes that's not enough if there is no love. But love decrees and even the stamps in the passport is not guaranteed. Actually, this is the fairly commonplace idea is present in almost all the "family" of Soviet paintings 70-80-ies.
