street my address soviet union my address is perplexing street my address soviet union on april 11 , 1964, the grand opening of the rossiya cinema took place in moscow, a huge building made of glass and concrete, as they said then, according to many muscovites, did not decorate the center of the capital and did not fit into the square with a monument to pushkin in the middle, but the moscow cinema was needed for its architecture, it met the most modern requirements and its opening was not overshadowed by anything. naturally, the new cinema in moscow opened premiere of a film about moscow it was a film directed by georgiy daneli, who used to study at an architectural institute. yuri nikolaevich sheverdyaev was the chief

architect of the rossiya cinema, and now putin, the fair ones, brought the director danelia to the zalkino theater, built according to the project of his teacher. this is an interesting coincidence. then in the sixty-fourth no one was interested. the audience was literally asharashen, by that extraordinary joyful free, liberated mood, which was transmitted to it through the screen and then this state of mind with nostalgia, i remembered for many, many years, you know, i don’t say so. i do not feel this kind of nostalgia, and this picture went down in history. she absolutely found her place. she has her own niche, and she will always be such a canoe, this is the assessment of the master of soviet cinema and today. and then, leaving the hall, literally all the people sang the just heard song of the metro builder kolka performed by eighteen-year-old nikita mikhalkov. but

no one could even imagine. what is the place in our history and in the fate of each hero of the picture will take this film and this song. i sing the taiga in moscow the song i walk in moscow was written in 1963 during the filming of the film, when this song turned 47 years old, its first performer celebrated its anniversary on the 65th anniversary of nikita sergeevich mikhalkov, friends of colleagues prepared a surprise creative evening, that the hero of the day would be on it , and the first thing he saw was stills from the

movie. i'm walking around moscow, films that are iconic for people whose youth fell on a time open to dreams and hopes. movie. i walk around moscow talking about him, all this captured both our thoughts and ours. and our dreams of such a beginning of the evening was far from a random choice of those who wanted to make a pleasant birthday. whether he was nostalgic or not, it was obvious that he perfectly remembers his song and sings along with pleasure to irina miroshnichenko walking around moscow about th first-year student in the wild irina miroshnichenko played in the film. i'm walking around moscow, a very short 10 second episodic role of kolka's older sister, i mean mikhalkov, but also

for her and for evgeny steblov and for galina polskikh and for alexei loktev a film. i walk around moscow was like the first parachute jump. they realized that they had definitely chosen a profession. and that in life they will definitely be lucky, it was against the background of that moscow one that was being created, as if the time was such that, for example, uh, he invited a random acquaintance to his house right now. such uh, it was possible to go through the city government without passes. the executive committee of the council without passes. yes at each store, as now there were no guards. yes, people believed that every year life would be better. this is faith in a better future. it sounded in every frame of the film i'm walking around moscow and in every line of the song specially written for this film by composer andrei petrov to the verses of gennady shpalikov. it was the anthem of a young life

full of hope and beautiful illusions. this is where you get lucky. so he took and starred one of the first koikals, without a familiar face, cheerful eyes of lights, ready, a ring and a summer thunderstorm, a summer thunderstorm, the brightest mood and leitmotif of the whole film. actually, the story of its creation began with a thunderstorm. once a young screenwriter. gennady shpalikov. came to the director. giorgi daneli with a bottle of champagne and said that he had come up with a cool film. summer rain, moscow in the middle. a girl walks barefoot, shoes in her hands, a guy appears on a bicycle, slowly rides after the girl. he holds an umbrella at the bottom, the girl dodges, jumps over puddles, and he still goes after her and smiles

like it - he asked shpalikov like it - answered daneli. and then what, and then we'll figure it out the answer followed, and they came up with a picture in moscow , it is light. it’s also funny, uh, in sleeping bags, as no one could, uh, to go out in life some completely new relationships that the screen is not used to in front of the institute of cinematography in moscow there are three monuments to andrei tarkovsky vasily shukshin and gennady shpalikov three legends of soviet cinema surnames famous to anyone more or less familiar with this art form. much less is known, and in the early sixties, his director , screenwriter and poet was known to all young creative people. moscow back in those days, when even okudzhava

was not so famous, when vladimir vysotsky did not yet have such a celebrity. and gena, uh, well, so talented for everything once, uh, he hit the strings in his hands and sang, he sang. i'm not afraid yet. we used to get together almost every night and drink. naturally, he sang his songs and they were very fond of them. he wrote more and more new ones, even then no one could even think that they would someday be released in collections and be performed in russia should not live longer than 37 years. pushkin's words turned out to be prophetic 37 years gennady palikov passed away .

his father, the son of the deceased hero, was sent to the kiev suvorov military school. there he unexpectedly began. writing in 1957 entered the screenwriting department in wildly. passing a monstrous competition. the most interesting institutes comrade shpalikov wrote down in his diary. so what to cook. friends here is a photograph hanging on the wall. then on my birthday i brought them a group of bream outposts, it says there. thank you pasha, he does a bad job and thank you next to this photo on

hanging on the wall is another ten-year-old gena shpalik cadet, suvorov military school, not a son, not a brother, but a dead friend. each of us, probably, lost friends. and who every day looks at their childhood photographs, perhaps not many in all memories, and i and others are compared with the motor, because it was moving something wonderful, the former suvorov was smart, handsome, charming. and here is the charm of the incredible charm of 36 years of this perished. and its end will be tragic, but the relationship is in their reality. yes it was unusually bright more bright and optimistic songs about moscow than the one written by gennady shpalikov is hard to imagine, but to understand how it could appear. we must fast forward

to moscow, the beginning of the sixties is behind us, the most terrible war in the history of mankind. the children of this war, protected as much as possible from difficult memories, have grown up and together with the whole country. they only look ahead. the post-war generation had its own characteristics. well, in particular, the fact that they have already become adults. after stalin's death and therefore felt to a certain extent free people in a free country. and this feeling of a free man in a free country was carried over in moscow with all the brightness and acting talents of young actors who played their peers, the actors who were filming. galina polskikh and aleksey loktev were really very young, 24 years old, evgeny steblov and nikita mikhalkov, 18. they chat, quarrel, fall in love and sing out of an excess of joy and freedom. yes,

enough of this sentence. i love. so in general these are rolling. here everything rolled with them so that it was very light here. right now, if they were filming such a picture now, i would have acted, although i am already more than years old. than from here. today, artyom mikhalkov is almost twice as old as his father, the one who explains from the screen, i don’t scream. i sing not every son manages to make such a journey through time and communicate with a young father through the screen. in fact, we have a strong one, and therefore, if i don’t feel very much, but, as it were, more mature than father. that's the time inside. well, maybe on the outside yes, but on the inside, uh, the same perky well, so light, so positive when he goes up the escalator. here is his smile. this is his

lightness, so it seems to me that it was inherited inside me. and this, well, i have, therefore, it's easier for me, it seems simple to me. or not really, but you can try to plunge into a time that will later be called a thaw. youth fell on the sixties, they remember a feeling similar to euphoria from the bright prospects of a comfortable and problem-free life. only in such state, one could believe the promises of the then leader of the country, nikita khrushchev, about the imminent onset of the communist idya. he promised then in the sixties that in 1980 the current generation of soviet people would live under communism, but they believed and really there was a lot there was a good script for this film moscow was reborn and good as a woman

trying on a new outfit was reborn and words long forgotten in the country. the fashion of the early sixties is this hairpin. light, raincoats bologna and very light blondes. used technical hydrogen peroxide, perhydrol, the owner of such hair was called perhydrol blondes, the most fashionable fabrics, synthetic nylon shirts are the ultimate dream, but at the age of 18, a suit for most was still considered a luxury good good normal, but work go to those. atra coffin meet sasha sasha ermakov staggered, he is getting married today. congratulations thanks. well agreed in

someone else's, of course, lay free and do without a conductor. they traveled without a conductor. communism is no longer coming. every month noskov received 6.000 new apartments were built, leninsky prospekt. young people read the books of aksyonov and solzhenitsyn, did not miss a single premiere , and contemporaries at taganka put up kilometer-long queues for poetry evenings. of course, everyone can talk about their moscow, i raved about poems and poetic evenings, and it seems to me that all

of moscow was in a hurry to luzhniki at that time . it seemed to me that all of moscow lived by this wonderful art, by what will call the sixties the sixties themselves called themselves in the garde. moreover , this avant-garde was a phenomenon of a mass poet, artists, musicians, they created something advanced extraordinary and were inspired by faith. in success when the wings of this avant-garde. still cut to replace came. new wave in cinema film according to the script, shpalikova. zastava ilyich was so out of the general range of soviet paintings. what caused fear among the censors and irritation in the authorities, and the main anger was directed against the party scene, so-called about which khrushchev said these very bastards who gather and drink underdrink bastards, it was just us, well, we played ourselves, as if not actors, but this created a sense of the reality of

reality. the resemblance to that, uh, with some of our gatherings, it was not yet an art house to find a movie. well, already a movie. not for everyone for a picture. i'm walking around moscow i even had to come up with a new genre of lyrical comedy, otherwise it would be impossible to answer with all the bolshevik directness to the question of what the film is about and what the film song is about. i'm walking walking around moscow this is already the anthem in moscow, i said, that's the way and this story and love. well, that's not the point in moscow. he's not an arhaus. there was no such thing as art-house cinema in our country in the sixties, but the search for new art forms in art was very active. that's just to gather for creative disputes was especially nowhere for young people to walk the streets at night, the street life of this country life is our

life. and here is the shape itself. i walk, i walk around moscow , this formula of our life constantly walked along moscow very often walked huge distances on foot or because we were talking. there , a taxi was all a luxury back then. uh, for our lives. it's like this. poetic lyrical form of our life i walk, walk around moscow and i walk. salty tundra and taigong, the most important thing is to finish all the work with care and take time off, so that later we can take each other by the waist, the four of us with the girls and walked around the city and sang, sang, sang all sorts of songs. we're walking behind some other

boys will listen to us sing behind us will go. young people, brought up on optimistic pre-war pictures about the wonderful life of soviet workers and collective farmers, would unwittingly imitate their favorite heroes. how to work and relax, how to walk and how to fall in love? what to think about and what to strive for, all this could be gleaned from the cinema, but the sixties of the last century broke many stereotypes, and in culture and in life, of course, in the tenth years it was such a period when songs from films were not very often heard, in difference from the thirties, where there was a very strong competition, where there was a bet on the song, like a kind of tuning fork sounding of the film, so the picture was passed all over the country, like a kind of anthem by the capital. in this sense, the picture also had a kind of symbolic meaning. none of the creators of this film thought that they were creating some kind of symbol, the anthem of the

capital, and so on, on the contrary. they wanted to make a light moody film, exactly fitting its unusually light title. i walk around moscow when gennady shpalikov wrote the script for this film, he was 26 years old, when georgy danelia started filming, he had just turned 33, both were young and in love with life and their picture. they filmed for the same joyful lovers and believers in kindness. i meet someone. but that doesn't happen. but it happens, yes, it happens, in principle, if you think about it, yes, the film is generally simple, but for young guys, and their lives, but it’s so

interesting, made, so naturally, played by these young and talented, like life, then showed really talented people xenia of the 1980 olympic games, moscow for the first time hosted olympics moreover, in the difficult conditions of the international boycott, the joyful and bright song about moscow was the best. by the way, now , instead of rain, a field car was walking along the crimean bridge and there was no guy on a bicycle who was supposed to hold an umbrella, but ksenia absolutely definitely played a girl with shoes in her hands, oh, whom shpalikov once dreamed of. i proposed. or maybe i'll be barefoot. here i will take these off and i will hold them in my hands. and so it was interesting, and i'm walking around moscow and there was an accident on this

place. right on the bridge, one car drove into another, because he stared and did not slow down in time, the tank stopped while they were sorting it out. while the traffic police are still unable to disperse, because they need to find out all these relationships with each other, and the more time passed, the more cars appeared, and they, of course, all accumulated and it was interesting for everyone to see. what else is there? there’s a movie or something, they’re filming a familiar face, the weight of the tree is running garden ring hug them glitters garden ring and summer thunderstorm how and when gennady shpalikov wrote these verses, we will never know. but what he hummed to whistled the melody of the song is believable. it is possible, if only because the young

leningrad composer andrei petrov had already written it by that time. about petrova is the most popular song. i’m walking around moscow on my feet, as you say petrov’s song, this song immediately appears, although he was a native of st. petersburg, pepper andrei petrov, was born in leningrad on september 2, 1930 and lived all his life in the city on the neva until the age of 14. he did not study music at all; he was more interested in literature, and in 1945 in the year he saw a film about agan strauss, the great waltz , the image of strauss inspired him so much that petrov decided to become the same romantic and successful composer. to do this, he entered the leningrad state conservatory. well , andrei is generally a composer of a colossal scale in our music. whatever genre. i didn't call it right away . i can name an essay that is

brilliantly written. take the opera peter i, his opera. ah, fantastic work. i am madly in love with his symphonic fresco. the bulgakov master and margarita take the ballet creation of the world. do you understand? i believe that a composer who has received a normal composition education, he can do everything, he must be able to do everything and re-do symphonic guys musical performances. and, of course, songs. well, somehow it turns out that later in life, the composer somehow chooses his genre of andrei petrovka, well. the film became phoebe's man , released in 1962, a song about the sea devil, immediately became popular and the classical composer petrov began to write music to movies. beware of car garage autumn

marathon office romance. station for two old horses. that's it, this is the music of andrei petrov . no wonder the song is from the movie? i walk around moscow, they immediately remembered and began to sing. it sounded like the anthem of the youth of the sixties. this song, of course, was very, popular in the late sixties, not only in moscow, but in general everywhere and drink it. maybe each one does not require special vocals. everyone. can afford to sleep it will turn out well, everything happens on light. okay. you won’t immediately understand what’s the matter, but it’s just that summer rain passed a normal summer one. this song needed none, as they said. today of the promotion, she immediately stepped off the screen on the street and into the yards and this was the highest rating if it was rated at that time after the picture came out, it turns out the song became one of the most famous instant and

i remember how we sat with with a spatula at his house, and we sat with him very sad and dreary, because we did not have money in order to some guys buy wipers there and sing a song. i'm walking around moscow, i said, that's amazing. if i said, then for this song i took a ruble. we now you and i could buy the sixties, this is also the time of the minimum presence of commercialism in life. yes, everyone wanted to have a tv set in a nylon shirt and even a people's zaporozhets car in which nikita khrushchev swept across the cream. he called it a good gift to the workers and set the price of 1800 rubles. with an average salary of 80 cents, if you use the old soviet slang. but if there were no such opportunities , no one really experienced the word. and i'm

walking, walking around moscow, they were perceived in tune. and we don't care, only with even more optimism this song is light. you can sing it at home, you can sing it at the table . walking down the street there, let's say, when we were young, we went to the may demonstration. we sang this song. that's what i heard recently. i again inside everything was so stirred up, again young times. those are the aspirations of hope. ouch. i walk, i walk around moscow and i can still go through, hello, and the ocean flies. i go and i'll get there. i'll dissolve yeah, i don't know today the words about the tundra and taiga sound a little naive, but then in the early sixties there was no need to explain to anyone why you can walk from moscow to the salty pacific ocean. the song called the main priorities of

the time, people dreamed of conquering, they really looked, they conquered the tundra, they built cities, they built nuclear power plants, all this was . she kind of fly over this movie. i'm on my way, i'm walking around moscow to let it all down then it's possible incidentally, the original version of the song. these lines sounded a little different over the white sail boat , i’ll dissolve it, until i know where and censorship looked in this way small. well, a reason to find fault with the screenwriter and arthur how can i not know where you want to be in the united states or in israel for example? yes, he had to change this line above the white sail boat and i don’t know with whom. yes , it means that such a thing, when the couple was made up alone, they began to find fault with the film itself, the most common reproach was the conjunctive. are you like me

i'll take a look, varnisher, and cognac is a fool. why did they take him who was nailed that he began to suck up to khrushchev yesterday, khrushchev ordered to show soviet life in a positive way. and today you were nimble and presented on a silver platter what to order above the degree of unfair, given the character of shpalikov and his short, scandalous creative biography. in this, many of their developments go on processes, because, for example, dramatic non-realism was followed by pink and non- realism. here is a picture of either socialist realism in the sixties, uh, which, while keeping a focus on the younger generation, retains the feeling that the younger generation came with their own themes with their own problems, while giving it such a light, ironic and comedic color to the pink neo-realism of the film. i’m

walking in moscow, it was really hard to find fault, but a trail of discontent stretched out to the zashpalikovs, ilyich was caught by his script for the film, which was never accepted for hire in march 1963 . nikita khrushchev attacked this film by marlene u tsiev, calling it ideologically harmful. i am so far we are an hour. expired, with all my might, i hate puppy delight, curse cheap thunder, despise unnecessary risk and consider it a personal insult of pale pink. howl timi zm showing off high-rise spiers, and like khrushchev, he, like stalin, fell in love with watching films before they were released and he showed them in the kremlin and there was such a scene where a young worker asks his father, who was
