In 22 hours I witnessed the closure of the Historical Museum. People who push the guards and the police had declared a megaphone about the futility of further expectations. Finally, from shutting down the wrought-iron grille. These pictures remind me of a famous episode from the old Soviet movie: "Winter Storm". Only this time it was in reverse order, and nobody climbed on the gate with rifles.

We had to proceed to the main museum in Moscow - Red Square.

Having been on different continents and in different countries, can not help but admire the only pearl of Moscow! The beauty, architecture, merchant kitsch, this history and its simulation, power, majesty, imperial luxury - all this inconsistency sometimes combined in this architectural open-air museum. Crowds of tourists trying to photograph it all on their "soap dish, guides lead groups of foreigners in the night, doubles Lenin and Stalin offer photographed in his company ....

It seems to be a long time friend and part of a familiar childhood picture. But in any city in the world I was not overwhelmed by emotions such as Red Square.

PS

Pay attention to the turn in the mausoleum.

Pearl Pearl - St. Basil's Cathedral (Pokrovsky Cathedral) - also worked as a free museum.

No comments. Only "live" photos taken during the action "Night at the Museum."

Returning from the Blessed poured back to the new building of hotel "Moscow". Run through past the Mausoleum, a better look at the main facade of the Historical Museum in the pseudo-Russian style of red brick, go to the streets Illinka (formerly Oktyarskoy revolution?). Ride people, people, people ...

I try to show not only museums but also the lives around museums. Ordinary people and their emotions, a crowd of young people, many of which, this night may be the only campaign in the museum for news of the year. But is it bad? Without a doubt, it is more convenient and easier to go to museums and day for money. But what could replace us all these experiences and emotions?

Going through the Resurrection Gate, which were demolished during Soviet rule, as they interfere with the passage armada of military equipment on parade, we get to the hotel "Moscow" was demolished and built in our time. If the Resurrection Gates were restored at the end of the 20 th century, the "Moscow" continue to finish building now. No, it's a little resembles the Stalinist "Moscow" with vodka labels! Too fresh and smooth, it lacks the texture of the facade, not much dust of centuries. Below is the entrance to the underground museum of Archeology in Moscow. There you can see what was found during excavations at the Hunter's Row. I think that many of the process of standing in a queue delivers a pleasure.


PS

In the last photo you can see my involuntary self-portrait - my shadow on Moscow streets.

Here they are, these people, for whom organized this massive performance. Without these people nothing would have happened. Is there may be no visitors to museums and art without spectators? And no price estimeyty will not help.

True, this was four years ago. Since then, the baby grew up. And I'm ready again to place an order, if one of the artists interested in such a model for the composition. Glamour does not offer!

[Черномашенцев Владимир]

And last of all, 1 am. Garden Ring Road next to the Patriarchal Labour (formerly Pioneering). This does not turn into a restaurant, as you might think, looking at the signboard. There, in the depths of a gateway, the Museum of Bulgakov, who worked until 2 am. What to say, really bad apartment! Allowed very little, as a small museum. To those people who have been waiting a hundred meters from the entrance, clearly not managed to get inside the appointed time.

Along the Nevsky on "stalinobuse"

("Deutsche Welle", Germany)


Russian society was divided into fervent Stalinist regime and those who think "Great Leader" criminals, whose conscience - Millions of lives.
In the Book Fair in St. Petersburg shortly before Victory Day was a book Sviatoslav Rybas "Stalin", published in the series "Life of Remarkable People".

And although any noticeable demand it not to use Stalin's apologists extremely inspired by the very fact of its appearance. Especially as soon a few yards near St. Petersburg Moskovsky prospect hung posters of World War II with pictures of Stalin, but on Nevsky Prospekt left the bus with a portrait of the "leader of all times" on board. Of course, Stalin's image has traditionally had a lot of demonstrations during the 1 st and 9 th May.

The Communists are convinced that young people interested in Stalin.

Some people strongly supported the return of Stalin's cultural and political space in Russia. The emergence of "stalinobusa" (as he was called in St. Petersburg) has approved, in particular the faction of the Communist Party in the city legislature Vladimir Dmitriev. On the question of the correspondent Deutsche Welle, is not whether the revival of Stalin's personality cult, he replied: "Not at all. There is a return to the truth about the historical era when the country led Joseph Stalin."

According to Dmitrieva, authorities deliberately distorting the sociological data on those who are now interested in Stalin's personality. Meanwhile, says the Communist leader in the St. Petersburg parliament, "is not a veteran, not the elderly, which is usually said that they - the representatives of decrepit past who are nostalgic for those days. No, it is - young people who have received education in our time , see what happens in the country, and understand that the prospect of such an action no. These young people, said Vladimir Dmitriev, refers to historical documents, which describes how you can make from a backward country's largest industrial, nuclear power. "The vast majority of people understand that in today's Russia, the future is viewed dimly," - emphasizes the leader of St. Petersburg "zyuganovtsev.

Antistalinism - outside the law?

However, not all Russian youth feels the desire to return to the Stalin era. Representatives of the St. Petersburg "Youth Yabloko held at the Kazan Cathedral series of single pickets against the emergence in the city" stalinobusa and posters depicting the "Great Leader". Four of them, wearing prison clothes with breast plates, which listed the crimes of Stalinism, handing out leaflets explaining why the portrait of Stalin insulted the memory of the Great Patriotic War.

After a while the protesters approached a group of people with red bands on their hands. Posing as members of the Communist Party, they turned to the police to stop the action. As a result, the four young Yabloko was taken to the police station, where one of them, Denis Vasiliev, was beaten for refusing to be photographed for the record. Three hours later, all were released without charge. Upon learning of the incident, the chairman of Yabloko, Sergei Mitrokhin announced its intention to appeal to the Attorney General to initiate a claim against the policemen who showed arbitrariness, a criminal case.

Renaissance cult of Stalin can not be excluded

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev several times publicly denounced Stalinism. Member of the Bureau of Yabloko party, a political analyst Boris Vishnevsky said that he would like to believe in the sincerity of the President, but recalls that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is in Stalin is much milder.

Moreover, Wisniewski says that for Stalin, and Putin is the state's interests above the interests of every citizen and to achieve them, there is no moral and legal barriers. The same belief, in his opinion, shared by the Communists, because it - one of the foundations of their doctrine. A real revival of the cult of Stalin's personality, according to Boris Vishnevsky, Russia is still not observed, but it can not be ruled out.
