"And who are we with you now?" - she asked, sitting on a crumpled sheet, with her head bowed and her arms around her knees. - Friends or lovers?.

He stood by the window and said nothing..

- Who would you like to be? She asked again..

He looked out the window at the starry sky above him and dreamily replied:.

- Cosmonaut!.

(A popular anecdote) The embroidered holiday was once again a success: the smart children, even adult Ukrainians, put themselves in order (noticeably from the height of the office, and in the suburbs, and even on residential suburbs), and weather - or rather, weather! - match the dress code. Especially in Zhitomir, in the homeland of the great Ukrainian Sergey Pavlovich Korolev.

(The questionnaire filled with C. Korolev at the entrance to the Kiev Polytechnic Institute, photo istpravda. Com. Ua) Although in the morning on Mikhailovskaya - the main pedestrian street of Zhitomir - there was such a dialogue (from friends and girlfriends in social networks):.

"- What do you think about the fact that the Queen was dressed in embroidery?.

- I have a positive attitude.

- Well, he has a daughter in Moscow! !!. And in general, it would be better to dress Shevchenko.

- Shevchenko - bust, uncomfortable.

- Well, then b on Lenin.

- We did not like Lenin, and we demolished him. Ukraine is a separate country, humble yourself. "The fate of the Ukrainian people was reflected in the fate of Sergei Pavlovich in full: and imprisonment in the era of Stalinism (it is believed that this was one of the reasons for his premature death under the knife of Moscow medical luminaries), and forced labor (under the supervision of" chekists "), and Huge merits before the Soviet "step-mother-stepmother" and all mankind, and many years of official silence of pages / volumes of biography / history.

A LIFE. UKRAINE But we will return to Sergey Pavlovich's homeland in our time. Today, as Zhitomir reports. Info, monument C. The Queen in the center of the city, in the square of his name, in front of the building of the regional state administration, put on his embroidery:.

And if on Mikhailovskaya, as mentioned above, a comrade who was nostalgic for Vladimir Ilyich-Ulyanych (whose main outfit is, as is known, a cap), then near the monument to the Queen, in the morning, mass and individual photo sessions began:.

According to eyewitnesses, it was heartfelt and cheerful. And not only near the monument, but in the whole city.

THRILLER. FOR THE REVOLUTION Without shackles people can not live!.

(The leitmotif of the film of the Russian spring of 2017) ... Last month, April, before the Day of Cosmonautics, experienced (a gentleman's set of "cinema-wine-domino-ha. But ") Russian moviegoers were amused by the fresh product of the life of filmmakers - the tape" Time of the First ", shot, as pointed out by Film Search, in the genre of" adventure, thriller ".

It's funny, but the director's name is Dmitry Kiselev - it's not the same, all-Russian adored TV "propagandist", and the other. But this, so to speak, changes little (in canonical terms: "Coincidence, I do not think so"),.

One of the main characters of the "adventure thriller" - Sergey Korolev. Reproduced his image instructed the actor Vladimir Adolfovich Ilyin:.

The resemblance of the movie Queen, of course, is available - with a good artist Ilyin.

(The real Sergei Korolyov, a prisoner, photo of 1938) But "that's it": the genre is not said to be "baiopik", especially since it is necessary to take into account the difference in age (the events of "The Time of the First" are attributed to 1965), well The indisputable fact that the artist Vladimir Ilyich ... - sorry, Vladimir Adolfovich Ilyin - did not sit in the Kolyma camps.

The fact that the film does not pretend to be biographical, hints subtle and the soundtrack from Soviet space fiction for the pioneers: the final credits of "The Time of the First" go under the song from "Moscow-Cassiopeia", which "in the original" sounded against the background of the Moscow Kremlin, in the wall Which also found its shelter ashes of the real Sergei Korolev, who miraculously escaped the "walls". It's unforgettable: the link of the pioneers in the "member" drives to Red Square - all such in white; Arrange a solemn line; Before the mausoleum of "Ulyanych" ziguyut "always ready - and now, and ever, and forever and ever"; Then in the same white robes they make an ascent to the birch bark of a cunningly bent. Then followed by footage with fiery horror, suggesting thoughts of "radioactive ash" from D. Kiseleva-TV, cktljv - editorial "Cosmo ...", oh - "Komsomolskaya Pravda" with portraits of pioneers-heroes of space to the sound of foreign radio voices aroused by the next Soviet achievement. In general, cm. Themselves, who suddenly did not see:.

Dashingly twisted Dm. Kiselev-the other, we admit: the effect is achieved by a double. On the one hand, the middle generation of the current Russian viewers is nostalgic for the hit of their Soviet childhood (with a refrain to the words of Robert Rozhdestvensky "if I forget something" - a successful master key into the prison of a mysterious Soviet soul that remembers / is proud of). On the other hand, the authors of the film, as it were, warn the visitors of the movie show that the popcorn is not only at their fingertips, but also on the screen.

By the way, other characters-cosmonauts - poured out by Yevgeny Mironov and Konstantin Khabensky. In general, in this film (which Obkom viewed literally the day before), only Brezhnev looks like a prototype (and even that is relative) - but this is understandable: at least Boyarsky in the role of Secretary General shoot, at least Brad Pitt, at least Klara Novikov - can not escape anywhere From the legendary diction, or from the eyebrows, even crack. Without these reasons to play Leonid Ilyich - it's like Chapaev portrayed without a mustache, horse and Petka.

The aforementioned "Film Search" sets out the plot of "The Time of the First" as follows: "60th. The height of the Cold War. Two superpowers, the USSR and the US are fighting for supremacy in the space race. While the USSR is ahead, next is the man's exit into open space ... Two weeks before the launch, a test ship explodes. There is no time to identify the reasons. And let the risks are huge, we can not give way to leadership ... Experienced military pilot Pavel Belyaev and his team-mate Alexei Leonov, neobstrelyannym and hot, dreaming of a feat - two people ready to step into the unknown. But no one could even guess what they had to face in flight. In this mission, all that is possible has gone wrong ". That something (and indeed almost everything) "went wrong and goes wrong" in the high-tech space industry of the national economy of Russia, in recent years everyone has learned everything (see. Frames from Baikonur 4-year freshness):.

... Judging by the reviews of Russian cinematographers, which are posted on "Kinoopisk" (and not only on this resource), the space rivalry with the Americans, started in the middle of the last century, has not stopped even now, in the field of the film industry: admired judges of "The Time of the First "Do not get tired of comparing this tape with Hollywood" analogs ". And every time they agree with like-minded people: "The time of the first" to the Americans, the nose wiped out almost in one gate, definitely!.

22nd MINUTE: SPOILER The Obkom and enemies will not advise spending time on this work, the very name of which refers to Sviridov's "Time, Forward", from which the main television program of the USSR - "Vremya" - started with direct targeting to the brain of a Soviet man for years:.

We'd rather serve as a good spoiler, citing the exact quote that Sergey Korolyov uttered at the 22nd minute of the film "The Time of the First". And he said it after cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who is to take a step into outer space, was convinced of the low suitability for such a journey of a suit assigned to him and began to "be proud": they say, we are ready to go out into space and in such a dress, Even in shackles ".

Quoting the reaction of the Queen in the version of the creators of the modern Russian film, literally:.

"We are already a people who fly from birth in shackles ... And do you imagine if you take them off? What would be? Lose the balance and break to hell with the dog. We are such a people ".

I would like to get to the premiere together with Putin, Mikhalkov, Kadyrov, Vilkul, Simonenko, Poklonskaya, Misulina, Prilepin, Tsarev, Prokhanov ... to see their threefold touches to each other wet from the piercing tears of cheeks ... Look again, uv. Ukrainian consumers of the products of Putin's "dream camp", watch the racist cinema, cultivate yourself culturally, show it to your children - to know your "own" history; Sob over the blockade of Russian Internet services, grieve over the loss of freedom of lies in Vkontakte and t. Enjoy spiritual slavery.
