when i met chernyshevsky, he frankly told him that i play gambling, i can’t do anything about it, i’m lucky in commercial games, if i only played them, then i would always be in the black, but i’m drawn to gambling, so i leave, let’s say, 20,000 rubles for gambling, as if it were someone else’s money, then accordingly i bet them, if i lose, then as if it were money not from my budget.

yes, all life cases are examples, in his youth, he lost half a million, that is, unknown in banknotes, silver, at the age of 14 daddy sent him from moscow to petersburg to study, and there he leads an independent life, goes, that is, to balls, visits all sorts of dubious establishments, plays cards, but then, at the insistence of his petersburg relatives, as far as i understand, he was taken from there, from petersburg, brought to moscow.

he was never enrolled in public educational institutions again, although naturally he was superbly educated, and professors from moscow university lectured him at home, and daddy passed away, that is, when he was 15 years old, apparently, it was at this very time that he lost this big money, in the twelfth year he was forced to sell his house in alkhonka, so he left only the famous ostafieva. and for some reason i still remember pyotr andreyevich vyazimsky and his wonderful words, just about the fact that the mind is in cards, i agree willingly, we see it everywhere in the academic world, the house is tightly packed with books, you can’t find a penny for cards, here he has wonderful notebooks that give such apt characteristics, well, only if you think about it, yes, a man of pushkin’s era, who also experienced the era of aleksandrovets.

in general, a person who left a lot of evidence about the card game, saying that the card game is our touchstone and yardstick. that is, memories, especially of my behavior in the hussar regiment, that is, not even his behavior, but the behavior of the hussar regiment, that is , card games were very common there, and homeric drinking bouts with dancing, with women, with cards, and lermontov always took part, but he took part

simply to take part, being, well, so to speak, a member of the community, yes, if he played in cards, bet small amounts of money and no more than he could, although he was wealthy,

then no evidence, strictly speaking, was presented, and lebev spent 3 years in prison, though there, that means, we sent piano to the cells, and he wrote a wonderful ballet, the magic flute, and the well-known novel the nightingale, and verstovsky’s joke is well-known, look, nothing is scary for russian talent, even in prison he seems to work such miracles, well, and alyabiev’s answer is well-known, tell verstovsky that there are plenty of people around me free... cameras, you watch precious stories about card games and famous players. we know that cards are always a duel, in general, always a duel, there are many stories connected with cards, these were shot individually,

they were shot in pairs, according to the results of card games, the most common dueling pistols, lipazh kücheleytor, this is our kureytor in my opinion, yes cards presuppose we also have rules, some accessories, we all know card tables, yes, that means, here is one of them they played on red cloth on burgundy cloth, but here is also money, chips, we have beautiful chests with chips, these are also accessories so that the money does not flash, yes, so that yes, so that these stacks of banknotes of gold coins can be replaced with such... modest chips, well , like in modern casinos, yes, yes, because this is also an object of art, we had, of course, famous swordsmen, here we return to our, again favorite, count fyodor ivanovich tolstoy, an american, here he is, our handsome man, his story

is absolutely wonderful, yes vyacheslav, in general such, he has many wonderful stories, yes, he was exiled to kamchatka, returned as an aleut , very dishonest. to which he, according to legend, stood up and said that he had never been an official, so he could not be dishonest, i ask you to replace him with kartishkin. dishonest, although we know that when he was faced with the threat of being put on the debtors' board in an english club, here is a gypsy woman who was close to him, and his beloved, she saved him, giving him all the gifts, all the diamonds, to save him, and she became his wife, there was also a lot of originality in this, well, a brit and a duellist, who had 11 duels and...

well, but there is one charm, just like that , you read it, you will be in a good mood all day long, whoever tells fortunes, as they used to say

with the image of literary heroes, for example, the heroes of dumas, and there is also, that is, here is an educational map of the romanov dynasty, all the people we talked about today at the beginning of our program, mentioned, yes, they are shown here, there are geographical maps where our different provinces and districts are depicted, but in general these maps are remarkable, because they were created on...

not a family, but a state, in 1819 the first factory in russia was founded, it was a factory for the production of playing cards, it called alexander... houses that would later be under the jurisdiction of empress maria, the wife of the murdered paul i, here they received income from the sale of cards from branding, and this income was state, it was not the income

of the imperial family longevity, here is just the brand here pelicans, yes here. this pelican, a biblical story, which, without sparing itself, feeds its chicks, the chicks feed on its flesh, this is just charity, which yes maria feodorovna was engaged in, opened hospitals, shelters, and this continued after, right up until the overthrow of the romanov dynasty, well, and for us , this...

that is, not only the imperial family, but close relatives in costumes of the famous russian ball of 1903, but this costume ball really made a huge impression, photographs of this event have been preserved, yes, a german company developed the sketches,

the cards were also printed at a state-owned russian factory. which produced playing cards, many of us had such decks, here is the king of hearts - this is, in fact, nicholas ii, this is grand duke mikhail alexandrovich, considered the last emperor of all russia, the queen of clubs, grand duchess elizabeth feodorovna, the queen of spades, a magnificent woman, zenaida nikolaevna, princess iusupova, countess.

hello, this is the podcast witnesses from einstein and its leading film historians natalia ryabchikova and stanislav didinsky. in our podcast we talk about favorite, classic, maybe little-known or... forgotten soviet films, we talk about how you can now to watch them in a new way, how to find even more pleasure in them. today we will talk about soviet-italian cinema connections. there are several remarkable anniversary dates, the centenary of the birth of marcial mastroianni, one of the most beloved actors of soviet viewers. sofia loren,

sophia loren or sophia loren, turns 90, as soviet viewers knew her in different ways. and another date is 55 years since the film sunflowers was shot in moscow, where mastroianni and laurent just happened to be filming. i am doing this for one italian woman, what do you think,

she will like it, it's a wonderful gift, i think she will like it, today we will talk to a person who embodies these very soviet-italian cinematic connections for us. this is laura guera. hello. hello. so, maybe sophia loren is not 90 years old. you know, when i came to italy, all for these wonderful beauties, women, full of talent, and really, sophia loren was then just a biological masterpiece. i 'll tell you that she is not photogenic. she is even more beautiful in life. here a.

it began, developed and of course, it it's not surprising, because the country itself is a big giant film set, the fact that the scenery doesn't need to be built, everything is ready, it's been standing for 2-300 years, as well as the actors, and the actors were taken from the streets, in neorealist films, these are completely street actors, professional, you know, you mentioned sunflowers, i must say that the screenwriter of this film was taningura, by the way. well, but at that time i wasn't familiar with him yet, i just this was already a prelude to something that happened later in life, so we

would like to talk about the prelude first, russian viewers got acquainted with italian cinema at the beginning of the 20th century, then you could say there was a break, then just neorealism of the forties, early fifties, a movement that had a very strong influence on... soviet cinema, on soviet directors, and even on ordinary viewers, so we wanted to ask how you got acquainted with stalinist cinema, as a viewer, in this era a huge number of geniuses were born at once, just like in the renaissance, only in the era of degeneration they they drew, that's all, and here was a camera, because this film was left by the germans, and there was no money, i think it's called varirovana, and it became fashionable.

something incredible happened to me, here is a revelation of beauty and a new cinematic language, and

what actors, yeah. morchalo mood, run ahead, i'll say that then, of course, friendship arose, because zanin was very friendly with marcheli, he often even came to us in pinobelli, anywhere, was, when he died, then nino said a very accurate thing about him, he was the first, always thinking that the second, here's the thing, who in his opinion was the first, vitorius gasman?

yes, there's the same khutsiyev, who simply prayed for the bicycle thieves, the same andrei torkovskiy, who didn't really like antoneo's early film, that's why, as you think, it was in soviet cinema that professionals perceived italian cinema in such a way, you know, i think these two cinemas have one thing in common, extraordinary humanity, warmth, even if in films...

also in films, in all the films of these very same humanity, and i owe you to say that at one of the festivals, when marlen's film was shown and it was defended by federico, who was at the same festival, he brought his 8 and a half, a brilliant film, this is at the moscow one, that same scandalous photographs, where you can see.

with his favorite director and you know, he is busy now, this suddenly, marlen and i went to the porta porteza, it was then a bash market, suddenly khutseysky shouts: federico, federico, i'm leaving, god, federico fellini was walking down the street, marlen, i didn't have time to see him hold on, he jumped out ran in the direction of fedorik feleni, i followed him, because... i shouted fedorik, it's us, because he was scared, someone from a black creepy car, some man is running towards him, a sicilian type, because marle, he thought, the mafia, towards him, he is this, a little bit so unexpectedly it was, when i arrived, i was shouting, when, of course, federico found out about this, then tanina called and told about this meeting, fedorik, he was always ironic,

a little bit satirical. so he said, he was running towards me, and at the same time a very warm meeting was, says the elderly terrier, well, this is what he thought, that the sicilian mafia, in this way. hello, on air news, in the studio sergey tugushev, at the beginning of the program briefly about the main thing. now the ground operation: israel is preparing an invasion of lebanon. hundreds of thousands of people are leaving their homes, the americans are evacuating part of their embassy.
