12:00 am
no less, no less, less i don't agree. andranik, you know, i think that indeed, very serious shifts are taking place today in public consciousness and in the united states, well, for example, yesterday i read that 71% of the republican party electorate is against giving even a penny and any participation, taking part in everything that is happening with ukraine. also, of course, the brave liberals work in this attitude, well, as if there is an inter-party consensus, these, well, completely crazy ideas of biden, that we are protecting democracy from authoritarianism, there totalitarianism and so on, while ukraine is increasingly being represented in the american media as a corrupt country.
12:01 am
a country where opposition parties, the media, the church are persecuted, so it seems to me that there is already talk that, firstly, we need to do the link, to separate supplies to israel , because when in one package, well, this is an omnibus hit yes, as it is usually called, when you want to carry out something, you resort to such, well, such... tricks, you put everything in one pile, in this in a bunch of things you are pushing the main thing for you, which you still cannot carry out on your own, and it will not be so easy to convince congress, to accept it, this time it seems to me that the republican congressmen will resist this, especially since there are radicals within the republican congressmen who are determined to fight, i want to share one personal impression
12:02 am
, andronik, you know about it, many years ago, it’s even scary to say, 40 years ago, i was sitting in a restaurant in beirut, in general , something happened, i won’t describe details, unpleasant an episode when they wanted to capture me and make me a hostage, but the episode was unpleasant, but it ended pleasantly, i didn’t become a hostage... i became a hostage with my comrades who tried to do this, well, let’s just say, they didn’t feel good, i left soon after that - from beirut, in general, my life went on in a completely normal way, dozens of americans, however , were killed and became hostages, and for them and for their families, it became a terrible tragedy, yes. of course, president reagan did not have this in
12:03 am
mind when he gave instructions to battleship new jerzy , to fire at the positions of pro-syrian units in the hills above beirut, of course , no, and no one expected this kind of escalation, but the americans, they are scattered all over the world, in many areas where they are very strong. feelings where the united states is very unpopular, so i hope that biden and his advisers, that they still have enough common sense and a sense of responsibility, to understand what a terrible harvest, and may have to reap if they follow this ways. weapon-slashing with blind
12:04 am
escalation. it was a big game, see you on the air tomorrow. today we will tell you about a person whom many
12:05 am
of you may not even imagine outwardly, this is not an artist, not an astronaut or even a politician, this is a composer, yuri sergeevich saursky, a man outwardly, at first glance, touchingly inconspicuous , but who did... the era in which he lived incredibly much. today, stars of the first magnitude will talk about this in our film. representatives of various directions in music, rockers and jazzmen, patriarchs of russian song and adherents classics. in his 75 years, saursky has accomplished an incredible amount. he was truly a fountain of irrepressible energy, a man possessed by a passion for music. and i think that the story about this extraordinary man will not leave you indifferent.
12:06 am
yuri saulsky, composer, conductor, arranger, producer, this man lived for 74 years, always young, he was overwhelmed by music until the very last. from the spirit, he eagerly accepted everything that was most progressive, spring will spread, saulsky’s talent gave birth to many popular songs, but for all that, he rightly called a legend of russian jazz, with the same inspiration he composed ballets... music for performances, he was educated, it’s just that women react to this, smart women, react to it immediately. yuri saulsky
12:07 am
was adored by women and he reciprocated their feelings; on his way there were women’s tears and broken hearts, but even abandoned lovers left a place in their soul. in which feelings for saulsky settled forever, i love you, there was some incident, well, one of his departures from the family was that he went to take out the trash can and left in slippers. night, as they say, my sadness is old, old, it’s time to forget you, it’s time, i’m sorry that life is going there, i’m sorry for the fact that i, like before
12:08 am
i told you, my mother always told me, valchika, yura will have 125 more wives, women , loves, but his most important love is music and the truest woman for him is music, that ’s really how it was. national fame burst into the life of yuri sergeevich along with a black cat, born in the creative imagination of the poet tanich and composer saulsky back in the distant sixty-third year. first, the poems of a black cat appeared by mikhail tanich and were shown. immediately to saulsky and literally half an hour later, well, maybe 40 minutes, this song appeared, he just heard these verses, read it, he immediately sat down and played it, and then immediately recorded it, the then
12:09 am
editor-in-chief, program good morning, valentin ivanovich kozlov, well, he said: “ yure, that’s it, let’s go to the restaurant, this...” is already a hit, that is, not yet performed, it was already understood by people, perceived as a hit, having sounded once on the radio in a program good morning, the song black cat produced the effect of an exploding bomb; on all the dance floors of the soviet union, girls in pointed boats and young men danced a twist to the black cat in a patterned performance by tamara mionsarova. the black cat has settled.
12:10 am
he specifically wrote a hit in order to receive large royalties and be absolutely. and he succeeded, somewhere he was sometimes ashamed when they reproached him for this, he, well, that is, he... what a person doesn’t understand, that’s what, why he wrote it, we understood, and no one he didn’t even say a bad word, because we knew that he could write any complex music, any symphonic, any jazz, chamber music, and this is a black cat - it was such a move absolutely correct, if the black class crosses the road, but for now it poro? only the black cat is unlucky, indeed,
12:11 am
the black cat became so popular that he opened the doors of any high offices for saulsky, and this song was performed so often that the royalties collected dust like a river. soon this song sounded in polish, german, in hungarian and czech languages, that’s when for some reason they started banning it, accusing it of vulgarity and ambiguity. when asked what this song was about, everyone had their own answer; in those days no one believed it was a joke; they saw subtext in everything. the feathered goth was so biting to the tail, it was blacker than the blackness itself, and the song in general about how it is beaten by a bully cat, they say , is not tied. if a black cat leads the way, but for now it’s the other way around, only the black cat is unlucky
12:12 am
. i change genres all the time - yuri sagulsky spoke about his work, and their diversity doesn’t bother me, but most of those who knew him agree on one thing: yuri sergegech’s greatest love was jazz. it is interesting that saulsky was born in the same year of twenty-eight. when the newspaper pravda published the famous article by maxim gorky about the music of fat people. this writer’s creation became the embodiment of the official soviet concept of jazz for many decades. the article said: all this offensive chaos of frantic sounds is subject to a barely perceptible rhythm. and after listening to these screams for a minute or two, you begin involuntarily imagine that it is an orchestra of madmen playing. they have gone sexually crazy. throughout his subsequent life, saulsky, doomed to be the same age as this prejudice, had to fight it.
12:13 am
and this man, who has always been close to jazz, despite the fact that he is really a composer, not just a jazz player , but also a great, interesting composer, symphonic, academic, therefore his authority in this world in those difficult times in the soviet union, when really jazz had its friends and had its opponents, then , of course, talented people also developed thanks to him, the saulskys received the recognition that they deserved. jazz often existed already during the cold war period, as such a sign of gloomy characteristics, imperialism and so on, that is, all the negative images in the theater in the cinema were necessarily characterized by jazz music, you know, especially so typical. how was she imagined to be american? jazz is a strange music
12:14 am
that flew to the country of the soviets from across the ocean and had a magical effect on saulsky since childhood. in their family, where mom sang in the choir sveshnikova, and his father was not just a good lawyer, but a keen pianist, and mostly played classical music. but not far from home , cutting-edge musical events were unfolding. in the faya cinema udarnik the ensemble played, tsvasman, in the cinema varlamov’s artistic big band. having heard enough of their jazz, the still young man ran home and tried to pick out melodies on the piano with one finger. like all boys, according to his stories, he loved football most of all, most of all he loved to play with the guys in the yard, and his mother understood what he had abilities and abilities are remarkable. he began to study music, play the piano, he remembered how his mother was sitting next to him with
12:15 am
a whip, which of course she hardly used, i think that she used it, but the whip was present and he remembered it very well, that to study music it is necessary, stubbornly, and this matter is so serious and difficult , i will not forget how in our large room with high ceilings, with a very good chandelier, i stood... i was even a little afraid of him , as if it were some kind of stomach . large black, at night i slept next to it and perceived it like really some kind of living creature, and during the day he came up, opened the lid, took a note and listened for a long time on the bichstein, the notes last a long time like on a wind instrument, even without pedals, shortly before the great patriotic war , saulsky entered the gnesin school, in the piano class and cellos, and when
12:16 am
the first shell explosions thundered in moscow, there was no time for music, the saulsky family was evacuated. and then, then, when, closer to the end of the war, he became a student at the military music school, military school, for musicians, and in this capacity, as a student of the military, he was already playing the french horn, he played very well, and he was a participant in 1945, on june 24, when there was a parade for the winners on red square, he was participant in this parade, played in the combined military orchestra, he remembered this for the rest of his life, we stood in front of the mausalee for 2 hours, looked at her friend stalin, at the government, we saw the whole procedure of this parade, we felt, as they say, everything with our skin, what happened then
12:17 am
these banners were carried past us, thrown, knocked down to the ground. all this, of course, is unforgettable, such things remain for life, he was older than me, and he found those post-war times when jazz could still be played, he then played the accordion in the metropolitan restaurant together with the same ostrovsky, there with those... the composers who later, ian frankel also played the violin then, they all played jazz together, felt everything for themselves, when in 1947 they banned it, that is, they made it his enemy art and he squeezed in general , tried in every possible way to help the new generation, to which i belonged
12:18 am
, khrushchov and kendin helped a lot. the deployment of american jupiter missiles in turkey radically changed the entire balance of power. this is what marked the beginning of the cuban missile crisis, in contrast to western historiography, which is trying to present the problem of placing our missiles in cuba as the root of the problem. in cuba we were responding to what the united states had already done near the soviet union. from the us side. threats to the security of the ussr, many they were horrified, realizing how much the world was hanging in the balance, they understood that before the war, not even one step, but half a step, and now we are talking about creating direct threats to our security, right on our borders. the world is on the edge. lessons

12:21 am
which there is no post-war devastation and hopeless hardships and deprivations. one of the most popular places in moscow at that time became the cocktail hall, so vividly glorified, already in the modern film dudes, cocktail hall, one overseas name, for what it’s worth, people came here for the illusion of an easy life, journalists, diplomats and young students, future physicists - lyricists saved up for months for a single glass of cocktail, which gives them the right to spend time in this place, sipping a drink through a straw, young fashionistas talked with friends, gazed at celebrities, even such a mat as nikita bogoslovsky came here, dressed in a white jacket, dazzlingly fashionable trousers and boots, and most importantly, they listened to the jazz that sounded in the cocktail hall. the musicians looked simpler than the visitors, but for their ability to play the music of dreams, jazzmen became idols, one of those who played in the post-war cocktail hall was yuri
12:22 am
saursky. yura was never a dude, no, no, in the form in which, in the sense in which we now use it , let’s say there is lyosha kozlov, he - he doesn’t hide it, he was a dude, although, in fact , a dude saying what a stelaga is, a dude - it was such a mixed concept, on the one hand, it was such an appearance, very provocative and sometimes leading to incidents right on the streets, because it is what it is like in those days, who is wearing it, what kind of trousers are these , what kind of tie is this, what kind of hairstyle is this? here, but nevertheless, there were, so to speak, external racks, and there were natural ones, here are natural racks - this is in addition to their appearance, they also loved that very jazz
12:23 am
music that determined their style, he has a jacket, a green tie, an apple one color, blue trousers, yellow speckled, vests. everything in the world is clear to him, the most important thing is the suit, i tell him how beautiful, there is no trace of high thoughts, don’t scold his girlfriend, tadam-pam-pam-tararam, maybe he’s an overseas parrot, tadam-pam-paramam, maybe when he was little , someone dropped him on the floor, maybe he’s sick, the poor guy, no, he ’s just a clown, at the beginning of 1948, many musical instruments were banned. the next 8 years went down in history as the “era of saxophone unbending.” let's drink to your health

joseph mesarionovich stalin. yuri saulsky did not mourn his passion for jazz, but continued to move forward. he entered the conservatory. saulsky now has a family, his wife is a stapler. in the fifty-second year , a son, igor, was already born. a student like this. saulsky graduated from the conservatory with honors, everyone predicted a career for him as a serious , learned musicologist, but this was not for
12:25 am
saulsky’s character, he fled to the stage, and then into semi-legal jazz in the orchestra of eddie rosner, a man of unique destiny. subsequently, saursky will say that exactly working with edie rosner became a colossal creative and life school for him. however, the school is quite harsh. years later , saursky recalled in one of his articles that when eddie ros. he started to destroy someone, he destroyed them completely, trampling them into dust. he was a very cruel man. fate brought yuri saursky to this eccentric man in 1954, and before that, in the early thirties, berliners called eddie rosner the second trumpet of the world, he conquered all of europe. in the fifty-sixth year, the rosner orchestra in its the film... was directed by eldar rikanov, and saulsky was the co-author of the music heard in this comedy.
12:26 am
i’ll sing you a song about 5 minutes, this song is mine, let me sing, let it fly into the light, i give you this song, this song. about 5 minutes, eddie rosner, this was the first living person in my life, not russian, well, with a foreign accent, such a superman, some kind of wave immediately passed through, immediately his chin up and somehow blood in his veins, he could look after a woman just one evening, it doesn’t matter whether he achieved his goal or not, but it was important to him,
12:27 am
because it was an incentive for his creative work, after he... wrote a song or he went on stage charged with this, i remember when we were on tour in lviv, one cried, a girl shared with me, she said: i thought that this seriously, i say, you know, don’t be offended by him, a woman who encounters rosner, she shouldn’t suffer, think that this is for a long time, this is a fleeting, wonderful relationship, this is a meeting with a talented person. the first such professional orchestra in which i took part, it was an amateur tsidri orchestra, for a short time it was led by boris fegotin, and then yuru saulsky became, from that moment the orchestra began to flourish, yura was at that time the musical director of the rosner orchestra, imagine, it was an orchestra, so to speak, which occupied a certain large such a state position, and he left the orchestra in order to have his own...
12:28 am
active one. on july 28, 1957 , a truly grandiose event took place in moscow. at the dawn of the khrushchev thaw , the sixth world youth festival opened students. the soviet union breathed a breath of freedom. foreigners who arrived from 131 countries were allowed to move freely around moscow. communication with them by our citizens was not persecuted in any way. it was finally possible to ask questions about the overseas inhabitants. by the way, then many of the illusions of soviet young people in this regard were shattered , a completely unknown liberty taken at the festival was a jazz competition, at which the youth orchestra of the central house of arts workers, under the direction of zaulsky, took second place, english jazz.
12:29 am
never again, either before or after the festival of '57, has the country seen such an atmosphere of openness and goodwill; this only happens when something happens for the first time; imagine what is here behind the kremlin wall in post-stalin moscow, when people were still returning from distant exiles, residents of half the planet gathered in this square and communicated informally, forgetting about protocol prohibitions, but nevertheless, soon after the festival, the respected newspaper of soviet culture burst out with an article about musical dudes, here what was written in it, a disastrous example of loss of independence is
12:30 am
the youth pop orchestra, it’s annoying to watch the intonations overheard on foreign radio, we watch with disgust the long-haired dudes in exaggeratedly tight trousers and extravagant jackets. this story ended with the fact that for several years, in general, he did not have a legal job, for several years, he was the only one who practically carried out private orders for arrangements and worked the so-called, you know, work, this is what composers have. among writers, he was like a black man, that is, here are people who write for others under a different surname, but compose for these people, write arrangements, compositions , please, of any form, the state of siege in saulsky’s musical fate did not last long, in the sixtieth year he became the chief conductor moscow music hall, in sixty-two he was accepted into the union of composers of the soviet union, soon created the jazz orchestra-66, in which...
12:31 am
gnesenki, valentina, they say it was love at first sight. already in november i became the wife of yuri sergeevch saulsky, that’s all somehow it happened quickly, i don’t know how , suffice it to say that i was supposed to get married to another person at that time, we already had an application with the zaksa and i was supposed to in december. come and marry another person, but everything fell apart, and i even lost his ring, it happened when i
12:32 am
realized that the ring was somewhere in the snow, and we looked for it and didn’t find it, yura said, well, this is a wonderful sign, it’s wonderful that you lost the ring, now you’ll marry me, ordinary, completely, ordinary, completely, history, history, a little sad, everyone, a little sad, everyone, no more, no more , let us sigh occasionally, let us sigh occasionally, for the past, for the past, there is at any age, there is at age, it is good, always good, i developed a friendship with him, because in the very first lineup of arsenal
12:33 am
, underground from 1973 to 1977, his beloved son, igor, played the keys, and since he divorced his mother and then married tolkunova, then there was a conflict there, mom turned igor, of course, against his father, and he succumbed to igor then, and since i had a very close relationship with igor, yura somehow found out through me how igor was doing, because igor at one time simply stopped communicating with him altogether , he stood up for his mother, so... in general , i somehow tried to reconcile them all the time, and yura always remembered this to me later, well, somehow, that’s how i eased the suffering of his father, whose son is where -at some point i almost
12:34 am
cursed something, it’s very difficult, there are no guilty and no right, if the heart breaks, a thread where... such crossing to connect us, and at night we came with a concert, we need to sit down at the piano, we need to study, we need to study , oh, i’m yura, i’m tired, but i can’t, i’m already after the concert, we’re so tired, well, let ’s rest, no, no, no, tomorrow is the test for mozart, sanat, g minor, we need to study, so let’s start. it’s good that our neighbors were supportive of us and never paid attention to it. sauzhsky was an amazingly energetic person. he composed music, led an orchestra, conducted, and sat on the jury of jazz festivals. and besides, constantly
12:35 am
i was reading something. his day had the same 24 hours as other people, but his personal time seemed to flow differently. in his work, he never felt tired and was surprised if he discovered someone else had a different rhythm of life. and one of his favorite phrases was: if others can’t do it, i have to do it. and before me he had wives and novels and so on, and after me there were wives and novels, so uh, i even him, you know, i even justify him, because just as in his work he wanted new achievements, so in life, in his life, and... women should have met along the way, which could lead him further and further, make his interest even more alive, the night is longer, the day is shorter, the days will grow old in years,
12:36 am
and where do the nights go, and where? the nights go by, they don't go anywhere. after his marriage to valentina tolkunova, he had a marriage with actress valentina aslanova, an actress of the soviet army theater, then then there was our mother ivanovna.
12:37 am
theater actress irmolova, then he was, and then there was his last marriage with tatyana nikolavny, as a matter of fact, he left our family when we were about four years old, that’s what interesting, he lived with all his wives for 4 years, only with tatyana nikolaevna, he lived for 24, you know what his nickname was , you told me, the builder of moscow, he built cooperative apartments and, as they say, left them to all his wives. in the seventies, the time came when sausky directed a great share of his irrepressible energy and all the authority he had earned to help young musicians; he participated in artistic councils that accepted new works and never once changed his word, given once during the era of persecution of the black cat. then he exhausted by the attacks of officials, he said: “i will never spread rot on anyone, i give my word of honor, i kept this word all my life.”
12:38 am
the very first instrumental ensembles appeared then, they were so good, and you know what i remember , it was really a very interesting time and now it seems strange to us that vea was persecuted, it’s just, well, it’s just funny now, sings iosifzon , from home, does not leave in any separation, does not leave, like a song of the heart, love does not leave us, always when there was some important listening works in art councils, if someone, so to speak, doubted his work, called saulsky to be present and... held, but that he very convincingly always spoke out in defense
12:39 am
of the work, when, so to speak, they tried to, well , if not ban, then at least limit the publication of this work, saulsky defended it in every possible way. by the end of the seventies, saulsky had several marriages and four children behind him. his indefatigability in his personal life, it seems to me, can be explained in different ways, but first of all he was we are creative. person and was looking for inspiration. i knew yuri sergeevich since childhood, so i can allow myself some of my own feelings. he always surprised me with his incredible desire for family relationships. i don’t remember a single family feast without him, even though he was so busy. it started in childhood, when his mother often went on tour, and the boy was incredibly drawn to the warmth of home. apparently he lacked female care.
12:40 am
he loved absolutely all women, beautiful, ugly, old, young, and anyone could to say that she simply blurred with happiness, he had incredible talent, such crazy charm, just fantastic. he is a very generous man, and if a woman likes something, she says, oh , how beautiful, what a fur coat it is, he says, do you like this fur coat, i say, yes, well, let's go buy it, he didn't have it there, here is a flower, there is a flower, and so on, you like it, of course, let's go, i'll borrow money and buy you the road of life to artyomovsk. it is in such places that our help is needed first,
12:41 am
the most dangerous thing is to get to the front line, to leave, that is, it is the road, the guys wrote letters and asked them to deliver them right here in artyomovski. and also the true story of the feat of women doctors. i worked in surgery for 16 years, i realized that i should just be here. i only regret one thing, that i didn’t do it earlier. we have not become worse or better, but we will not be the same. i bow to the feat of the doctors who are there. what is nastya's call sign? guardian angel antifake premieres tomorrow at the first cognac of montechoca. stellar product group.
12:42 am
russian grand prix, live broadcasts, october 28 and 29, at the first, let's see, it will be very interesting, love figure skating , adore figure skating, appreciate figure skating, saursky was already over 50 when fate finally gave him a meeting with the woman who was as if destined for him by higher powers; this year journalist tatyana kareva worked at the all-union competition of pop artists in leningrad. yuri sergeevich, as usual, sat on the jury. we live in a hotel, which means we lived in hotel next to the concert hall, oktyabrsky.
12:43 am
and, that means, in the hotel, someone holds me, uh, a sheepskin coat, that means, from behind, when i’ve already given my number to get dressed and says to me, can i be... your gentleman today, i say, well, try, but yuri sergegevich tried , he succeeded, uh, on the first day, well, we, we had lunch together, we had dinner, then we talked a lot, and somehow, somehow by chance, i say, i ask, when do you have birthday, he tells me, october 23rd, i say, no, it’s october 23rd for me. no, he says, i have it, i i say, well then he says, we have, i understand, we have october 23rd together , indeed, we had a common birthday, which i think, that i think, was some kind of, well, astrological sign, or something, so i’m talking about this a lot now, yes , but this happens really rarely, there was a land
12:44 am
of white me, tatyana, the anticipation of this meeting was the song tatyana’s day, written much earlier, which saulsky subsequently gave to his beloved tatyana. tatyana's day, he married tanya, the wedding was, in my opinion, here opposite the satire theater in beijing, and arkan and i... we came to congratulate him with jokes, right at the table, we joked, in my opinion, something like that began to raise his amorous biography, quite, in my opinion, now not
12:45 am
i remember exactly, quite guiltily, but as always there are some, and there was such a terrible scandal during the wedding, it’s because he said that either they or i will take part in the wedding, and since it is clear that without the groom the wedding would hardly take place so arkan and i had to leave, this is this, this is this , friends, can you imagine, this speaks about his extraordinary inner purity, it seemed to him that there was something mocking towards the bride, although there was nothing there, that’s how little he was. yuri sergeevich and tatyana nikolaevna lived here in the famous house of composers, a house whose history is connected with the legendary names of ramakh chaturyan, dmitry shestakovich and many others, now yuri sergegevich saursky, tatyana nikolaevna still lives here, from the very beginning their relationship developed so that even those around you.
