otherwise, they relied on the fine art of theophanes the greek, andrei rublev and the canopists, who managed to carry through the centuries and preserve that same byzantine heritage in holy places, temples and monasteries. russian civilization is universal, since it absorbed the treasures of the whole world, and the east and west. we have never withdrawn into our national shell. and we have never fenced ourselves off from other peoples, those peoples who are now fenced off from us. an attentive eye will see the byzantine trace in one of the main symbols of our civilization, which appeared already in the 20th century. the moscow metro, and now causes foreigners the same cultural shock that our ancestors must have experienced when they got to... the cathedrals of constantinople, there

is no dirt, no stink, no tramps, drug addicts and people who want to kill you, no, here there is absolute cleanliness and order, how can it be that in russia, which was described to us as a gas station with nuclear weapons, an ordinary metro station is better than anything in our country, because of temple construction, the christ-domed temple and even the construction of fortresses, this... was to a large extent taken from byzantium and again transformed, russia also created absolutely amazing temples, but many of them, including those built by aristotle feravanti, in the kremlin, it was already largely under the strong influence of byzantium. great western architects, having worked in our country, discovered that they were, in fact, already russian.

russian civilization. the people of ancient russia had no reason to believe that the high road of civilization led to the west. the first library in russia arose in the 11th century through the efforts of yaroslav the wise. one book from this library has been preserved in reims, france. this is the same gospel in glagolitic that yaroslav’s daughter anna brought with her. on

which they took an oath, ascending the throne of a generation of kings of france. needless to say , anna was much more educated than her husband, king henry i, and, unlike him and his retinue, she could not only read, but also write, including in latin. ancient cities the russians were largely literate. this is clearly evidenced by the birch bark letters found during excavations, the inscriptions on the novgorod birkah cylinders, the inscriptions: non-provincial, absolutely, this is solovyov, the century actually turned out to be berdiev, vulgakov, and because full-blooded church life with liturgy, it meant comprehension of the philosophy of life . it was in this

natural form that it entered into the consciousness of even the common man; we are a civilization of words, a civilization of poets. the russian writers' union estimates that more than a million residents of our country are engaged in literary creativity, and how could it be otherwise, in the country of pushkin, lermontov, tyutchev, mayakovsky, yesenin, blok, akhmatovy, simonov, tvordovsky.

anton pavlovich chekhov. great literature, they will name you leo nikolaevich tolstoy and fyodor mikhailovich dostoevsky. they will say great music, they will name pyotr ilyevichaikovsky and sergei vasilyevich rachmaninov. and these rows of names can be continued endlessly. if we exclude

western consumer culture and everything connected with it, then it is our culture that will be in stanovoy ridge is not only russian. of the entire human civilization, what is culture , the village of irkhin, vologda region, i was also going to take pictures of the pro-kruzhivnits, i came there, one guy only lives, tolya, so tolya got a leave in some forty-third year, went home, drove there for two days, arrived. to vologda, then on some typewriter, car, then - on some kind of snow, frost, february, then 5 km to his village irkhin, got there at 4:00 in the morning, frost 35°, reached his hut,

there he was wife nastya, two children, he caught his breath, that is, he knocked on the window, the moon. it was shining, nastya got up , caught her breath, saw a spot in the glass, saw her roofing felt, and decided that it was a dream, looked at him through this window, but he didn’t wake her up until dawn, didn’t break her from this wonderful dream, although it was not a dream, this is what it is, this is the greatest culture. now in the west they are trying to cancel russian culture, to erase it from the information space, to pretend that it never existed, but russian culture does not live in the information space, it is written in the civilizational code of every person, try it

cancel, you cancel a part of yourself. russian domestic art, our artists faced a well-known... rather aggressive discrimination with attempts to cancel our history, and music, and ballet, and theater, literature, painting, uh, our achievements in this area, it is obvious that those who stood up for this way, those who seek to erase russian, russian culture from the world heritage, first of all rob themselves; such actions are insignificant against the background of the greatness of russian art. one of the relatively new symbols of russian civilization ostankino tv tower, our television cannot be confused with any other, but

there are programs that are shown only here, because only we have such a large number of cheerful, resourceful and smart people. in december 1977, for the first time, a game was played at a round table, where six players were sitting and there was already a top, me and viktor zaretsky were sitting at this table, this is actually one of our two games. russians, who will hold on, the second kvn. we are starting kvn. they exchanged money, gagarin flew, there was broadcast one program, the presenter was 20 years old, i want

to congratulate the symbol of eternal russian youth, alexander vasilyevich moslyakov. played and continue to play in schools, universities, in large cities and small towns. its popularity has long gone beyond the borders of our country, acquired without any reason.

porfiry bakhmetiev developed the basic principles of transmitting moving images at a distance; he failed to build the device. after 10 centuries, he created a photocell, a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. st. petersburg professor boris in 1907, rusing patented a method for electrically transmitting images. may 1911 carries out the world's first transmission of a static picture: four light stripes on a dark background. and the first ever transmission of a moving image was carried out in 1928 in tashkent by inventor boris grobovsky using a device called radiotelephot. in 1925, leningrad resident alexander chernyshov patented the videocon. tube prototype. video cameras in 1931, almost simultaneously, independently of each other, in different parts

of the world, three russian people, a student boris rosing, vladimir zvarykin in the usa, and semyon kotaev and alexander konstantinov in the ussr, create an image transmission system that has survived to this day, have a nice new year, and won’t you be celebrating it with us, and don’t persuade us, now in our time ... the main decoration of the table is that the tv, and it’s your web, shows, i ’ll go to my place, of course, without television, what a new year, this is also our civilizational feature, the new year is celebrated all over the world, but for us this is its own special television ritual, happy holiday to you, my dears, happy new year 2024. happy new year, what is your name? phrases from famous

films, this is the coded language in which representatives of russian civilization communicate with each other. long before such a concept as a meme was invented, russians communicated with each other using... they coincided, so entire, so to speak, quote books from films arose, but

imagine, all my life i was proud of my work, my father was proud of me , and grandfather, but others were proud of wealth or nobility, and we were proud of our profession, and what kind of profession is this, our homeland to defend, there is such a profession as a platoon, you know? poem, i learned that i have a huge family, a path, and a forest , every ear of corn in the field, you bastards will answer me for sevastopol, ukraine is being torn away from our civilization, forcing us to destroy everything that our ancestors, including ukrainians , created , from ukraine they are making anti-russia, a weapon aimed at our heart. generations of russians were raised there who kill

russians because they want to speak russian, we saw how it began and warned where it was going, because this it didn’t start yesterday, the seeds of betrayal and hatred were thrown into ukraine many times, mazepa, petliura, bandera, the heroes of today’s ukraine, as well as yushchenko, poroshenko, zelensky, they all relied. for western support. the orange revolution of 2004 and the maidan of 2014 were organized under the manual control of western politicians and...

the fact is that who cares, well, it’s important for me to be better than ukrainians, absolutely not, when you are self-sufficient, you have a completely different approach to any problem, trample someone else’s flag to jump, whoever doesn’t jump is a muscovite, such the feeling that the little girl was wearing her mother’s high-heeled shoes... although this is not so. people who consider themselves to be part of our civilization in ukraine only asked to be given the opportunity to speak

and confess in their native language. in response, the intoxicated propaganda of the heirs. goebbels and neo-nazis supported by official kiev began to kill them. this war did not start in 2014 or even in 2004. this war began when we took the word of the west, showed weakness, and did what they wanted. and they lost a great country. our common home. with formation of the commonwealth of independent states, i cease my activities as president of the ussr. the collapse of the ussr,

the largest geopolitical catastrophe in history, threw the country back several decades. russia has lost the status of a superpower, which was the soviet union. our civilization was divided. the state has lost half of its population and economic potential. with the loss of the southern regions, russia became an even more northern country, losing a significant part of its fertile lands. for the first time in 500 years, russia found itself in surrounded by states and groups that are economically, demographically and politically more powerful or dynamic. than herself. in the nineties, the russian federation lost another half of its gdp. they started talking about how we had turned into the upper volta with rockets. the country found itself in the weakest position relative to the main world centers of power since the mongol invasion. at this moment , russia was flooded with foreign advisers,

economists, and political strategists. some people thought then that they could help, but now, looking back.

with friendly countries that represent the past, present and future of the planet. putin's russia has found a way to the hearts of the vast majority of humanity. putin is changing the world. "we are changing the world and changing it for the better. someone may think that we will not survive and will not win, such people have always been and will always be. victory will once again make

them silent in shame. we have the advantage on our side, it is their economy that has begun to crumble from -for their own sanctions. no civilization has ever been subjected to such sanctions pressure. our kalashnikov assault rifle is the most reliable and most used on the planet, our economy is based on real production, and not on soap bubbles that are inflated and deflated by

posts on social networks. fossil fuels still produce 70% of the electricity consumed by humanity, and the main fossil fuel in global generation is natural gas. russia ranks first in the world in its reserves and not only in gas, pressed water. wood, palladium, nickel, diamonds, iron ore, gold, the largest in the world the area of ​​taiga, tundra and permafrost, arctic territories, whose riches still cannot be assessed. we are a resource superpower, an immense territory containing up to a third of all the natural resources of the planet. russia occupies a very strong place in global energy markets, and directly through supplies. oil, gas, coal, and indirectly, through the supply of products that are derived from these resources, so it is natural that when we

understand that no matter how we talk about green technologies today, today we are talking about the fact that our world still remains carbon-based, russian industry ranks first in the production of aircraft titanium. and palade mining, the largest production and export of mineral fertilizers, nuclear fuel, our country is a leader in the total value of mined diamonds and amber, first place in the total production and export of hydrocarbons, a leader in the production and export of armored vehicles, as well as in heavy tank and anti-tank weapons. russia produces and sells abroad the largest amount air defense systems. russia is the only one in the world. they want atomic icebreakers. russia is one of the few countries in the world that is capable of acting as an independent center of power. we are a permanent member of the un security council. the only

euro-pacific power, an energy, nuclear, space, resource superpower, which has made a significant contribution to the development of world civilization. we have considerable foreign policy resources based on the high professionalism of the foreign ministry and special services. expert community capable of thinking in global categories. russia occupies first place in the share of people with higher education. the soviet educational system was considered the best in the world. our scientists work all over the planet. today we are a leader in the quality of education in primary schools, traditionally among the best in the quality of school education in general. unified state exam. mikhail vasilyevich lomanosov discovered the atmosphere of venus. chemistry is dmitry ivanovich mendeleev.

immunology - ilya ilyich mechnikov, physiology - ivan petrovich pavlov. radio alexander stepanovich popov. television is vladimir kazmich zvarykin. aviation - nikolai egorovich zhukovsky. space, sergei pavlovich korolev, nuclear energy, igor vasilievich kurchatov. lasers are.

economies of india and china or even african countries. today we are again faced with difficult trials. western invaders are interfering

with our ancestral lands. such a period triggers our historical instinct, civilization rallies around the leader, and not because we are sentimental, we are simply accustomed to the fact that someone specific should be responsible for a serious matter. our battle for sovereignty, for justice, without any exaggeration, are of a national liberation nature. because we defend the security and well-being of our people, the highest historical right to be russia, a strong, independent power, a country of civilization, it is our country, the russian world, as has happened more than once in history, that has blocked the path of those who today claim world domination for their exclusivity. this is the nikolaev library. he

was one of the most educated people of his time, he really knew a lot and he loved russia, but in russia the rulers they forgive only one thing: weaknesses. finally , we were given the order to advance, to take away our crumbs, but we remember how the sun went to sleep and almost set in the east. “we don’t measure the earth with our steps, the lights are in vain , we push it with our boots from ourselves, from ourselves, it’s time to recall the first philosophical letter of pyotr chaadaev, who considered russia a historical misunderstanding

. this is a letter from the public.” and chiodaev and his like-minded people, of whom there are many to this day, we are often accused of imperialism, but we are anti-empire, the empire is sucking resources from the periphery in favor of the metropolis, just as the empires of the west plundered colonies for centuries. with terrible cruelty, suppressing and exploiting the local population in india, africa, america, russia, coming to new lands, always brought with it civilization, medicine, education, culture, we always tried to improve the lives of the peoples included in our family. russia was sucking itself dry for the sake of others. we are a civilization of civilizations, russians, tatars, chechens, bashkirs, yakuts, with different traditions, faiths, languages, we are all

one people. some shortcomings, but our film not about that, we also don’t like a lot of things, but these are our shortcomings, we see them, we need to correct them, so, pushkin, answered chadai, although i personally am heartily attached to the sovereign, i am far from admiring everything that i see around me, as a writer , i am irritated, as a person with prejudices, i am offended, but i swear on my honor that for nothing in the world i would not want to change my fatherland or have...

“we are obliged to preserve and strengthen russia, to pass it on to our descendants, our grandchildren, great-grandchildren , bring it to a new level of development associated with high technology, with a smart economy, with high principles with our values, freedom, justice, dignity, honor, conscience. love, it is very important, based on the knowledge of the past, to set the path to a worthy tomorrow, because russian civilization has always been, is

, will be, not memories of the past, but a dream of the future.

hello, i am pilot cosmonaut anton shkaplerov, this is a podcast of space stories, on march 9, yuri alekseevich gagarin would have turned... years old, he did what seemed impossible, with his first bold step he literally burst into outer space, my guest today is my old friend, my real teacher, major general, first deputy head of the zhukovsky air force engineering academy, professor, candidate of technical sciences, vyacheslav konstantinovich markov. hello, today we want to remember what gagarin was like, talk about his... flight and, of course, understand why his name is forever inscribed in the history of all mankind. i know that you started your studies at the academy together with sagarin, september 1 1961. by that time he had already become

famous, he had completed his space flight. please tell us about your first meeting and what it was like? yes, indeed, you are right that september 1, 1961 was surya.

it was more difficult than for us, ordinary listeners, well , they are in plain sight, they were ashamed to come there unprepared, to receive an unsatisfactory test, i understand them perfectly well, i watched them with 100 eyes, they studied longer than us, we studied for 5 years, they studied 7 years to complete the same program, it turns out they studied, but you say that you started skipping classes, for reasons independent of them, that gagarin. after the flight, every month, he was somewhere abroad,

or sometimes he traveled, he glorified the soviet union and glorified the soviet man, he himself was in spirit, a very soviet man, obligatory, loyal, conscientious, i once said, that it seems to me that the country was lucky that the first cosmonaut was gagarin, he never let the country down, not to... the border is nowhere, the whole planet loved him, and he lived up to it, so we met with gagarin later, i personally rarely met, but when they came to classes, and teachers often had to go to the star, so as not to distract them, the teachers went to the star, the academy already went, then the academy went, then they came, that is, there was a complex curriculum, the curriculum remained the same the same, but the curriculum changed, what is the curriculum, this is on wednesday, this is on thursday, these classes.

test with gagarin, then he went to visit the hospital, and shveikin was lying there, he taught cosmonauts, mathematics, he was very strict , he gave yuri a b, then for a long time worried, he says, he answered between the four with an a, and i, he says, due to my boring nature, gave him a four, but all the teachers were also under supervision, you see, higher mathematics, shveikin, choir, everything else is excellent, here. .. that is, this is a real page of the grade book and this is a photo of his grade

book, but all the teachers here are very close to me, all my friends, they met quite rarely, that’s when they already started their diploma design, and what is diploma design at the academy zhukovsky, this is the completion of a diploma project. sergei mikhailovich came up with this move: sergei mikhailovich belotserkovsky, it was. at that time, he was a deputy, first he was the head of the department of aerodynamics, and then the deputy head of the academy for educational scientific work, but he was mainly involved in science, and he was the scientific supervisor of this complex diploma project. sergei pavlovich korolev, this is the task given to sergei mikhailovich, you say: show them that it is not only the astronaut who has difficulties, the general designer also has difficulties, show them how difficult it is, and the general designer of this graduation project... gagarin, his narrow part is maneuvering

during takeoff and landing of the ship that he drew, and at our academy they made this model, but it is a well-known model with front lattice wings, at this stage i have often seen yuri alekseevich gagarin, why? because we at department number 15, the department of aerodynamics, organized such a diploma hall for... the power of universal respect, they allocated a separate room for it. the boss gave way arrhythmic base. this is the head of the educational department, yuri petrovich kuznetsov, attaching a graduation badge to him.

but he tries, he always succeeded, he lands, takes off and lands on this analog machine his invented airplane, you were with him, you say. often you could feel some kind of aura that this was gagarin, that yuri alekseevich was a difficult person, or he was as simple as all the other listeners, yuri alekseevich was better, he was joking or, on the contrary , he was serious, arrogant, very, well, what are you , this such a pleasant person to talk to,

so approachable, for the last 2 months they sat at the department without going out and sat until 11 to 12 at night, this was before graduation, when they were studying for their diploma, when they were already working on their graduation project. they practically did not leave the academy, they worked very seriously, consultants came to them, except for the general director sergei mikhailovich belotserkovsky, doctors, twice a state prize winner and so on, very famous scientists, they were assigned to yuri alekseevich, to each was attached with departments in the specialty, consultant, that is, not a scientific supervisor, but as a consultant, scientific supervisor sergei mikhailovich, and also consultants.

responsiveness, friendliness, and at the same time with humor, well, some jokes i’m even unique in my modesty, kindness, i won’t tell, i would tell. well, at least one harmless one, for example, maybe you caught it, no, we had a very large man, unlike me, very large, i think it was 120-130 kilograms, sidorin and he gave it to him photograph, sidorin, when you land on the moon it will be easier for you to walk, that one was very heavy too. this is a very nice friend of mine, but did you know gagarin, did you meet him, did you communicate with his family and loved ones? you know, we talked a lot with the family , i don’t know how many times i went, but many times i went to the end of timofeevna with sergei mikhailovich and without sergei mikhailovich, this is anna timofeevna, that’s when we arrived, anna

timofeevna says that’s it ok, fine, everything is just wrong with me, so next time i brought two... a big, beautiful cake, they made a big one, they made something like this, beautiful, very elegant, well, they didn’t take the money, can you tell me what april 12th was like for you then, well, maybe you can tell , how do you still feel when this holiday comes, as i remember, it caught me in kazakhstan, well, they immediately formed a regiment, shouted a long

hurray, glory to the soviet homeland, glory to the first, well, like all people, general rejoicing, i don’t know how... even a military unit, strict military unit, what are you talking about, sabantuy in the evening was such that god forbid, well , flights were canceled for tomorrow, of course, when his father was told this news, well, they said, in my opinion, your yura flew, he says it’s definitely mine, well yes, major, he is like that, definitely not mine , my senior veteran, yes, yes, there is such a story, yes, there is such a story, he was awarded the rank of captain during the flight, the minister of defense reported: khrushchev, that we are assigning him the rank of captain, khrushchev says: don’t be greedy, give him a major right away, he was given the rank right away, he was given the rank through the rank major, he was a most worthy man, and what a pity that he died so quickly, you know, yura was so focused.
