but the secret of music is that i know an extraordinary principle of expression there, where the sound is loud, music replaces a thousand words. in the afternoon he invited me to the belarus restaurant, then in front of the dynamo stadium he said words that warm me and today, in 3 years in minsk, you are the first person who told me: i

have an idea, he is my co-author, my friend, nikita khubov. among his friends were pavel arsenov, mikhail roshchin, gennady shpalikov, marina goldovskaya, alek boy, well, you must agree that lesna has been in such a company for half a century, he was born in the family moscow intellectuals, father armenian georgy nikitoch khubov, long-term editor-in-chief of the thick theoretical magazine soviet music, mother rebekah minasievna, translator from german.

english, her father, nikita's grandfather, minasha halpern, a writer, and nikita kept jokingly saying, i have two cunning bloods, armenian and jewish, and one deceives the other all the time, this is not true, this is not true, more sincere, honest, sincere it was hard to imagine a more sympathetic, truthful person than nikita, plus religiosity... musicality, humor, and also male oriental beauty, slimness, smartness, charm, that’s what he was, nikita georgievich khubov, my dear friend. heading the director of the 1961 belarus film, joseph dorsky.

before his death at 64, he managed to make just some kind of sulbanous infusion into belarus of a film, these were personnel invited from moscow, directors, artists, actors, among them were cameramen, anatoly zabolotsky, alexander knyazhinsky, mikhailievsky, and nikita khubov. these two were to shoot a picture in minsk, which should have been their thesis. the third rocket became such a picture. script by front-line soldier vasil bykov. falls into the hands of the front-line director, richard viktorov. but here is all the figurative fabric. the entire video

of the film had to be shot by a young , completely unfired cameraman who had not known war, frame to the left, quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, sheaf, tovazh commander, interfere again, product commander, dreams. lukyan, motherfucker, lukyan, lays down, fire, petrov, fire, fire, petrov, everything was filmed with such truthfulness that the pillar

italian neorealism, film director “i would give this film all the awards of all the festivals in the world, but the marshal of the soviet union”, the main ideologist of the soviet army, appreciated sverep, i would have sent tanks to the cinemas where the third missile was shown, but it didn’t work out, the diploma, guys, was defended on great, andrei kirillov went to moscow, he had a job there, because dad headed the camera department in gika, and nikita... for the next six years he was stuck in minsk, this was the most fruitful period of his work, here he showed himself, discovered not only a gift a cinematographer, but also a director, still

a documentarian and writer. and in those years , a very favorable situation developed in the belarusian documentary film association. khubov, as a cameraman, in collaboration with other cameramen, as a screenwriter, shot picture after picture, which were awarded at film festivals, at all-union, at international, it was an observation picture of the brezskoe highway, about intercity bus drivers, it was an observation of the miners of soligorsk, everyday life of the salty slaughterhouses, and it was... a picture, even, you know, not a film, but some kind of sonnet, some kind of documentary poetry, but a picture on the old sinokos, which nikita shot together with another talented cameraman from the same landing, a little zabolotsky,

nashaga ivana vumnaya zhana, god gave a pit, wave. god damn me. i have a habit of introducing some of my talented friends to others so that they can create something together. for work, and so at first i united khubov with zhenya glebov, with the composer, they separated, it happened so that when glebov showed

him his song, after the fireworks there is silence, khubov says, and what are they in a choir of 70 people, generally yelling about silence, this should be sung secretly, almost in a whisper, by mark bernes about how they got wound up and it got to the point that the feast ended with pouring half-drunk vodka into sink, they quarreled and khubov left, but when i introduced nikita to my wife grishman, they fell in love with each other, and nikita treated his wife so tenderly, completely unadapted to life, he loved his music so much, accepted it without any corrections. nikita launched with a full-length film frank conversation, please note, the film is a documentary, full-length, this is a very rare volume for documentary films

, he met some group of young people, six people, all born, he knew how to win them over so that they spoke very openly about their dreams , plans, aspirations, this became the basis of the film, what is your name? pavel, how old are you? 22, do you think this is too much or not enough? it seems to me, well, how would you say, not much, not little, you consider yourself handsome, i would also. well, listen, dalka, do you have some kind of dream that you strived for, oh, of course, there is something that you would really like? oh, i would really like to, oh, i really want to sing, sing, yeah , the film is very interesting, but i understood the origin of it

many years later, when at nikita’s house, in the center of moscow, in truzhenikov lane, at number 4, apartment five, on his desk i saw a small amber framed photograph of gennady shpalikov, who had recently committed suicide. he was nikita's friend and i realized that nikita, captivated by his films, i was walking along moscow, and i, 20 years old, decided to create the same film, but a documentary about the sixties , they were born on the same day, boys and girls , all with snub noses, all squeaking, they had tags attached to them so that they could somehow be distinguished from each other, in 20 years they will become... completely different, they will probably be better than us, i want to believe in it. in 1996,

the director, a wonderful director, viktor aslyuk, as if continuing khubov’s film of the year sixty-six, a frank conversation, made a film 30 years of waiting, he collected characters. from that film, nothing remained of those guys, hopes, plans, there were some extinct, sad people who had not met for these 30 years, you probably know why, because they had nothing to boast about to each other, nothing of what they had planned, there is nothing planned in their lives.

accomplished, very smart, well, such a nostalgic, very sad picture, very, i, every time the years fly by so quickly that i see that it’s already soon, although for quite a long time still somewhere around how much 6 years left until retirement, then i’m afraid, i wish i could stop time, it doesn’t stop. retired, retired, what else are you missing? live your life to your heart's content, but there is no kindergarten or vegetable garden, of course, there is great dissatisfaction, so what are you doing, years have already passed, at 66 a tandem was formed. khubov orlov. it was then, nikita told me, you are

the first person in minsk who has an idea. it was about my proposal to make a film about the city budget, the grodno wallet. work has begun. for some reason, it so happened that all of khubov’s and my pictures were mercilessly cut down, they cut people up and made some ideological remarks. that either time has changed, or maybe the requirements have changed, or maybe we, our worldview have changed, at the very first discussion of the film grodno purse, which had already been filmed on two films , such instructions immediately began, such quibbles, such demands that the director of the film, debutant slava babich, categorically refused to change anything in the film. and then at the council the retrograd director of the old

school jumped up with a natural burr and said: “allow me to film surgeon." khubov stood up. he said: no need, we ourselves. what do we mean ourselves? it was he who wanted to preserve at least something valuable from the filmed film, but. new, interesting, fascinating, what was already in it. in the credits of the directors it appears , this was his debut, the first and only film in minsk, the cameraman grisha masalsky, but khubov was on all the filming in grodno and, in fact, directed all the episodes of this film, although he was credited as only one of the scriptwriters. gark hoss allowed us to do this one single experience. i came up with

episode, such a slightly provocative episode, khubov filmed it, in the center of the city, right next to the monument to lenin , director babich breaks a bench, it looks like a bandit, menchan residents pass by, not paying attention, past, past, past, why, yes, because it’s not their personal property, we explain with an announcer's text, and next to the joint we froze a metal ruble right in the center of the city near the gum, with a hidden camera we watch how people walk by, realizing that this ruble, if plucked out, could become his personal property, they leave, come, they would casually pick it out with a heel, when we showed this material in the hall, there was laughter, i don’t know, from chaplin’s comedy, well, of course, this episode with the bench was shortened,

this observation... was cut out, the film remained somehow chopped up, short, they extended it due to winter views, beautifully shot of the wonderful, beautiful city of grodny. the heroes of this program chose to live outside the city. this is not a family thing, all of our uncles and great-grandfathers lived in their houses and farms. let's go into the forest, here, here we're closer, there's peace and quiet. there they see

more opportunities to make the most of them. there was an idea to stage an opera. to the music of manyushka, to the willows of nobel, i am starting to build a theater all the time, and there is all this fire, laki, everything was in the search, they started a farm, they rented 150 hectares of land, we will continue to plow and re-land, the task of the presenter, find out , why rural life is still better than city life and to complete several tasks on the farm, all the raks of the bulbs are stagnant, i need to get back, sudzya in store. sheikaska may get the impression that yesterday i celebrated some kind of birthday or anniversary, but this is not so, well, there’s a little red tractor, why didn’t we load into it, watch the project i’m from the village, on the tv channel belarus 24. club of editors, when you’re talking all over the world

to go there as a group today on an excursion, but what? watch on tv channel. belarus 24, i often found myself in moscow on business, then, of course, we sat at the table in nikita khubov’s house, and then one day he introduced me to mother, who was translating zweig at the time. into russian, then he met his wife, larisa, pancake, as he called her, larisa blinova, a wonderful actress, how amazingly she played in nikita’s film the traitor, be sure to watch this film, but at that time she is already smaller starred and directed and

still directs the barefoot studio, these are girls with bare feet who repeat, study at the school of isidora duncan, which she brought, as if to the ussr in the twenties, barefoot, we sit for a long time with nikita at the table, then his daughter, dasha, is spinning around, looking at us , watching something, then larisa comes from class, and dasha immediately runs to her, says: “mom, dad and friends bought this ". nikita, outraged by this denunciation, says to his wife: “pancake , who are we raising? for her, i am uncle volodya, a friend of my father’s youth, for me she is still dasha’s baby, although

dasha is already a grandmother, she is now the general producer of the vremya channel. nikita is in moscow introduced me to the circle of his friends, the moscow bohemians, after a four-hour soaring there in the sunduns or those brought in now... in the central baths, we moved to the uzbekistan restaurant at 12 and there at different times, on different weekends, our table neighbors were either the director, the armenian pavel arsenov, by that time, who had made a very interesting triangle film, either alek boym the artist, or the drummer of the still unknown georgian ensemble orera, not to be confused with serero, bubaki kabidze, who had just returned from his first business trip abroad, then walked along the garden ring, went to the basement of eduard limonov, who sewed nikita's trousers, they walked again, walked again, in the seventies on sundays, at 80 in the morning, at

the end of the old arbat, where it abuts smolenskaya square, in the rioni cafe, khash was served, hot, fatty, in the doorway the director was standing and letting in... only his own people, khubov, of course, was one of his own, we came, there were other companies, vladimir vysotsky, evgeny yevtushenko, all with their entourage, 2 hours later at 10:00, the cafe closed, the bohemians dispersed, at 12:00 it turned into an ordinary soviet catering cafe, drinks it wasn’t served there, you could bring it with you, so the operator tutunov, with a trained cameraman ’s hand, poured out a bottle wrapped in a newspaper in very measured doses, so to speak, and one day, in the bliss of this, two

three or four cups of hot khash, nikita said: “i feel so good here, friends, that i would like to die here,” to which our neighbor at the table, a swimming coach, said: “nikita, why?” “you won’t die in my swimming pool, you can invite your male friend volodya, and here we are swimming pool, in warm water, in winter with cold noses sticking out above the water, swimming, swimming pool on the site of the cathedral of christ the savior blown up in the thirty-first year on the site where the cathedral of christ the salvation, now shining over moscow, will be restored. march 8, international women's day, nikita has an invitation to bela akhmadulina's creative evening

, we come, before her speech there is another lecture by some nutritionist, we sit silently, listen, conclusion: there is no healthy food, all food is harmful, living in general is harmful, nikita makes a conclusion : yes, bucket kefir prolongs life for one second, after that, a slightly homely one flies out onto the illuminated stage in a white blouse, in a black skirt, well , march 8, bella begins, and pushkin drank wine, laughed, met friends, played mischief, a celebration of poetry, a celebration of a beautiful woman, spring holiday, our holiday with nikita, nikita and i went to zagorsk twice a day , before and now, the trinity of sergius lavra went to churches, to chapels, prayed,

we prayed to the holy one. there were services, nikita explained to me the content, the meaning of some icons, i want to visit my father - he says, we come to the armenian cemetery, right opposite vagnkovsky, we approach a modest monument, georgy nikitich khubov, and a place has been prepared nearby. nikita says, this is for me, in the last days of november, my friend according to the will, nikita khubov, will lie down next to dad. i describe all these walks and feasts of ours because all this time, interrupting each other

, arguing, brushing aside, that’s why i told you all this, these were not just walks, these were some kind of acts of creativity. working enthusiastically in minsk, every 2-3 months khubov went to moscow, well, to visit his family, chekuk dasha brought from there boxes of banned or semi -banned documentaries, thanks to nikita we learned the names and films of artavazd pelishan, the land of people, the beginning, fragments of an unedited but already banned film by the eternally disgraced sergei parojanov, kiev frescoes, he enlightened

us. in may 1967 of his existence, so to speak, proud of the fact that he is older than moscow. but at the same time, this same year marked the 50th anniversary of the great october revolution, and there were also posters, slogans, and appeals all around. in our opinion based on the script, nikita shoots a holiday album film. he didn’t know the minsk intelligentsia well, and i, taking advantage of my acquaintance, dragged people into

the frame for interviews: people who are no longer there, now, this was my friend from the acting department valery moroz, designer oleg sursky, tv director obran novoselsky, tv presenter journalist eleon yezerskaya, city, my city, flowering alleys, my city, my handsome city, in the mid-sixties the excitement was again on the military theme, they responded to this theme in 68 and the myshuovs, but they responded somehow in their own way, i gave the impetus, i say, nikita, can you imagine,

the veterans who liberated it in 1944 should come to some village and the children are preparing to face everything, that was enough for him, we wrote a script, a film appeared, directed by khubov, early morning, deserted road, veterans are supposed to come here by bus, on the eve of filming, a meeting of veterans, the mother of the village of dorgu. ironing shirts, palatitsa, pioneer ties, the pioneer leader went to grodno the day before, got a manicure, well well, she and the pioneers will be filmed, early in the morning there are pioneers, a banner, a bugle, a drum, bread and salt, everyone is dressed up, lined up, a bus comes, a regular

bus, they get out... some people, no veterans, they during training they wait, the next one comes to leave, the third one, another one. you understand that fewer and fewer pioneers are coming to the stop, it’s drizzling, it’s getting dark, and only one boy comes , who keeps repeating that they will come anyway, that no one will come, only we, the authors, knew the ending nikita invented this boy is worth it. and a column of tanks bursts out of the forest with smiling tankmen in open hatches on the towers, and a stunning bell sounds, such a powerful march

by grishman, the heroes were not late, this is where the title of the film was born, the heroes were not late. i must say that the producer and organizer of the filming was my dad, at that time the chairman of the executive committee of the former sopotskinsky district, he organized regular buses on this road, where buses never ran, he organized a tank. schoolchildren, accommodation and meals for group artists, accommodation for the director film, a friend, his son, nikitka in his own house, in the orlovs’ house, they already

called him nikitka, in my house, but the unexpected echo of the film, the heroes are not late , will sound in 2020, a year and a half after leaving for the irrevocability of my.. oh, how right grandfather fyodor tyutchev was. that's what happened with our movie heroes are not tardy, made in 1968. in the spring of 2020, i received a phone call from an excited female voice. executive committees of sopotskino, was i ever there at that time, was i a film director? well for everything i answered the questions positively, then this

woman told me this story. it turns out that the boy who was waiting for the heroes is her brother, koltvin in the sixty-eighth year he was 10 years old, 10 years later in 788 he died in the same year their father died. mom remained the only breadwinner in a family of six, four children, she was a grandmother, mother weeded beetroot on a collective farm, a half-starved existence, a village, dorgun. it turns out that my dad, then the chairman of this executive committee, having learned about the disastrous state of the family, arranged

this woman to work in a bakery, and this yadviga, on the way from school , came to see my mother at work, there was always a piece of bread, and yadviga adds, and my mother, anna, told me before she died, i... contact vladimir alexandrovich, my son alexander viktorovich, i know that he is in minsk, he is a director, he lives there, find him, tell him about his father, but i say, i was still shy, so he says, i saw you in several programs, i love you, i remember, so he says, i made up my mind , i recognized your phone number and decided to call you, this is how it responded our word, spoken with nikita: the film's heroes are not late 52 years ago, the yans will still come, the yans will still come.

sports, name at least one of them, i’ll assume it’s shooting. is this the wrong answer? centenary anniversary it is celebrated not from the day of the first olympic games, but from the day of the formation of the international olympic committee. here is a question, let’s say, with a trick. who will prove that he is the main sports expert of the country. whoever scores the most points at the end of the game will be the winner. nazar takes the lead, and that’s probably it. the main event of the second round, the fourth period, friends, the culmination, the denouement of our project. watch the intellectual sports show, head game, on our tv channel. from february to october 1970, excluding august.

i lived in moscow, work was underway on the film all royal radio, i came across a book by general leslie groce, an american who talked about the progress of the atomic bomb project in america, the book interested me very much, there were so many interesting episodes, i thought, what about at this time it was being made in america, who made this bomb? yes, there were mainly physicists who fled from... countries occupied by the nazis from europe to america: niels bohr, enrico fermi, robert oppenheimer, leo szillar, edward theyler, i thought, wait, so in germany, it was clear from the book that they were doing an a-project, who was there? otto hahn, walter weizsäcker, werner heisenberg, in the soviet union, in addition to kurchatov, florov and peterzhak, worked on khariton.

chertok, isaac kikoin, yakov zeldovich generally lived in minsk, so the idea came up to create not a parallel, a replay of the race to create an atomic bomb in the usa, in germany in the ussr, and there were so many episodes, blackmail, theft of secrets, some kind of confusion, some... there are so many incomprehensible situations in general. all the interesting things that i called co-authors, nikita khubov and ela milov, and we somehow intuitively separated, began to write these separate lines and put everything in a separate folder, three different fonts on a typewriter, three different handwritings for typos and additions, and a wonderful name was born, enrico fermi, when the first one happened explosion of an atomic bomb, i saw all this, my colleagues, physicists, saw

it and thought, maybe we are creating such a deadly weapon in vain, they doubted it, and fermi told them, colleagues, stop being complex at all, in the end, it’s just wonderful physics, here is a folder with the name this beautiful physics, plump, plump, plump every day, all that was left was to find a director, and what do you think? found interested in nikita's birthday on april 25, 1970, of course, we are at the severnaya hotel, where i lived then, setting the table, waiting for the director, and this director has just sat down the entire soviet union for several evenings on tv, watching his series, his excellency's adjutant, evgeny

tashkov. and this evening we decided to invite toshkov fourth to ours. quartet of co-authors, and we are waiting for him, we couldn’t wait, well, i guess i couldn’t come, i couldn’t call , what cell phones, the year 1970, it turned out that on this day, the life of a playwright, on april 25 , 1970 , toshkov’s wife, a film actress, committed suicide. ekaterina savinova, here we have troubles with the death of pavel luspikaev at the royal army, misha kazakov broke his face, you can’t take pictures, got into a car accident in kazakhstan, tanya lavrova with the poet olzhas suleimenov, everything went wrong for us, milova and i left for minsk,

khubov became to break through your new film, beautiful physics came to an end, in the fifteenth year, i donated a thick folder with all our sketches and written scenes to our literary museum, to my personal fund. this is where our creative collaboration with khubov ended. but it’s true, from time to time an echo of our long-standing work back in minsk seemed to surface. the film khatyn 5 km was taken off the shelf, in which, along with the director igor kolovsky and oles adamovich, khuvov and i are listed as co-authors of the script.

having shot several films at the gorkov studio as a director, the body is a traitor, a squadron of flying hussars, i am changing. nikita wrote script after script, one more interesting than the other, but somehow other colleagues bypassed him, more successful, more punchy, and in ninety-eight, having made the last film , the game of bracelets, he stopped fighting for this cinematic battlefield, years passed and he retired to near moscow snegiri, snegiri is a village, as it were, of artists of a big theater , but there were already a composer, krilatov, an innocent artist, marshal koneev, nearby you could see the cableway on the chubais estate, in general,

famous and rich muscovites already lived there, in nikita’s house, in the center there was a huge stump from a sawn tree, it was like a table, which he set for me and allowed me to read at the table, and while reading these scripts, i said, nikita, let me take the film to belarus, such an interesting script, it’s so sad he said, it’s late, my dear, it’s late, then he stopped writing the scripts, because they were read, praised, but no contracts were concluded. and accordingly they didn’t film it, he began to write essays, wrote two, amazing facts, amazing generalizations, these were lermontov and chekhov,

he also wrote gogol, but literally in the last conversation he was afraid to send it to me, he said, my dear, wait, i’ll go through it one more time and edit it, somewhere in 2010 he called me and asked me to get him an antonovka seedling and send it to moscow. he said, my dear, i miss belarus so much and let at least this tree. will remind me of the years of my youth, of our work with you, and of belarus in general. several times on my way out of minsk... to grodno, sludsk, molodechno, i stopped near these markets, where

they were selling seedlings, antonovka was nowhere to be found, i repeated this the next year, i started asking again, and one person told me , he says, you know, it’s unlikely that you will find it, because he says this variety is degenerating here, you should see antonovka instead, how much you crave this, they can give you a linden seedling, in the sense of the word, i wrote to dasha about this, this is what she answered me, i read with my mother and cried about the apple tree, but i will still buy it from you in minsk, i will plant it, for sure, thank you it would be great if dasha and i manage to get this one when she arrives. plant an apple tree in bullfinches, so i can already imagine how it sits under the apple tree.

my friend, nikita, is gnawing on a hard, autumn antonov apple, and somewhere from afar a song by zhenya grishman sounds, a twist popular in those years from our film, the holiday album , the city is my city, my handsome man, mince, you are in our hearts forever, and sits nikita , whom i love, i remember, the phrase will sound in his soul all the time, the eternal phrase in his entire subsequent post-minsk life, my youth, belarus, my youth, belarus. songs of partisans, pine trees before the fog, songs

partisans, my youth, belarus.

every day, at the right time, i send my message to everyone who loves it, with light winds and good memories, we intend to go on our way, near the meat, and all people remember that it is impossible to endure hell. karanyoў, kab metz magchymast padmatsovatstsa hell native land , sennya us chakae folklore expedition for numaram 507. happened and many times before, past gomelskaga fell into dust. like watermelons, tawadzits here and there, golden watermelons themselves.
