  • 1 Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears Is a 1979 Melodrama and Comedy
    Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears is a 1979 melodrama and comedy Soviet film directed by Vladimir Menshov. The stars include Vera Alentova (who played Katerina Tikhomirova) and Aleksey Batalov (who played Gosha). Valentin Chernykh wrote the film and the cinematographer was Igor Slabnevich. In 1980, the film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It was Menshov’s second and most critically acclaimed, feature film, his first being 1976’s Practical Joke. The film is all about human relations and how the atmosphere of a country in regards to economics and all other facets of a society in which people find themselves living in at any given time affect them. In the case of the film, this time is set in, initially 1958 Moscow and then a more subdued, complex and difficult 1979 Russia. Here we see the aging and development of a specific group of people in relation to the aging and development of their city of Moscow. How the two interact as well as the insular reactions between the specific group of men and women, provide a unique look at universal interaction between any people. Specifically, the role of women is extremely fascinating and dynamic in the film. The three leading women are Katerina Tikhomirova (played by Vera Alentova), Lyudmila (played by Irina Muravyova) and Antonina (played by Raisa Ryazanova). All three move to Moscow from smaller towns to achieve their dreams. The most important relationship is between Katerina Tikhomirova and Gosha (played by Aleksey Batalov). Gosha represents the man Katerina has been looking for her whole life, and apparently the key that is needed to fulfill her, the missing link in her life that can not be replaced by anything else: success at work, valuable friendships, a healthy daughter, economic stability, etc.

  • The Cranes Are Flying Is a 1957 Drama About the Soviet Union's
    The Cranes Are Flying is a 1957 drama about the Soviet Union’s involvement in World War II. The director is Mikhail Kalatozov and the film stars Aleksey Batalov as Boris and Tatiana Samoilova as Veronika. Aleksey Batalov was a well-known actor of the time and had appeared in four prominent films before The Cranes Are Flying, the most famous being the powerful 1955 anti-war film, Mother, directed by Mark Donskoy. Thus, Batalov had his experience in dramatic and noble roles. He maintains a very positive outlook throughout the film, striking resemblance to a prototype character of Russian and beyond films: that of the powerful, handsome, optimistic and virtuous man (a Russian counterpart being Sergei Stolyarov in 1931’s The Circus, as well as American actors such as Henry Fonda). Tatiana Samoilova was a relatively new actress at the time, having only appeared in one film: 1955’s The Mexican directed by Vladimir Kaplunovskiy. She was only twenty-two when The Cranes Are Flying came out, and her portrayal of Veronika earned her a lasting legacy as a star, leading to huge future roles, such as Anna in 1967’s Anna Karenina. However, due to the Soviet regime, Samoilova was not allowed to leave the Soviet Union and become a world-renowned star in Hollywood. In effect, she was relegated to beloved stardom in the Soviet Union exclusively. The cinematographer was the famous Sergey Urusevsky, who also worked as cinematographer on an earlier Kalatozov film, 1964’s Soy Cuba as well as many other prominent films. The Cranes Are Flying was one of Kalatozov’s most celebrated works, both publically acclaimed as well as escaping Stalin’s oppressive eye with his convenient death occurring four years before the film’s release.

  • THE LADY with the DOG by Anton Chekhov
    THE LADY WITH THE DOG by Anton Chekhov I IT was said that a new person had appeared on the sea-front: a lady with a little dog. Dmitri Dmitritch Gurov, who had by then been a fortnight at Yalta, and so was fairly at home there, had begun to take an interest in new arrivals. Sitting in Verney's pavilion, he saw, walking on the sea-front, a fair-haired young lady of medium height, wearing a béret; a white Pomeranian dog was running behind her. And afterwards he met her in the public gardens and in the square several times a day. She was walking alone, always wearing the same béret, and always with the same white dog; no one knew who she was, and every one called her simply "the lady with the dog." "If she is here alone without a husband or friends, it wouldn't be amiss to make her acquaintance," Gurov reflected. He was under forty, but he had a daughter already twelve years old, and two sons at school. He had been married young, when he was a student in his second year, and by now his wife seemed half as old again as he. She was a tall, erect woman with dark eyebrows, staid and dignified, and, as she said of herself, intellectual. She read a great deal, used phonetic spelling, called her husband, not Dmitri, but Dimitri, and he secretly considered her unintelligent, narrow, inelegant, was afraid of her, and did not like to be at home. He had begun being unfaithful to her long ago -- had been unfaithful to her often, and, probably on that account, almost always spoke ill of women, and when they were talked about in his presence, used to call them "the lower race." It seemed to him that he had been so schooled by bitter experience that he might call them what he liked, and yet he could not get on for two days together without "the lower race." In the society of men he was bored and not himself, with them he was cold and uncommunicative; but when he was in the company of women he felt free, and knew what to say to them and how to behave; and he was at ease with them even when he was silent.

    Cartel de la película La batalla de Moscú Cartel de la película La batalla CICLO DE CINE BÉLICO EN RUSIA LA EPOPEYA DE UN PUEBLO JUNIO 2021-ABRIL 2022 coleccionmuseoruso.es Rusia, convertida en nación a partir de la constitución de la Rus de Kiev en el siglo X, es el resultado de la obstinación y la resistencia de las variadas etnias que componen el país, por mantenerse unida, nucleada en una religión, la de la Iglesia Ortodoxa, y un idioma hegemónico, el ruso, escrito en un alfabeto, el cirílico, que sólo a ellos pertenece. La unión de la nación rusa tuvo diversas fórmulas, desde la fórmula imperial de la época zarista en la que no se reconocía la variedad de sus pueblos, la fórmula federalista de la Unión Soviética o la independencia actual de aquellas repúblicas en la que Rusia es la República Federativa de Rusia. Con una expansión territorial que comenzó a tomar forma con Iván el Terrible y que tuvo su mayor velocidad de expansión con Pedro I el Grande y Catalina II la Grande, su acontecer histórico, su permanencia, se debe a un constante y épico batallar contra adversarios muy diversos hasta 1945, tal como muestra este ciclo de cine. Desde los orígenes de Rusia con enfrentamientos con bizantinos y tártaros, hasta la Segunda Guerra Mundial, que causó entre 27 y 37 millones de muertes de ciudadanos soviéticos, civiles y militares, que supuso el momento en que más cerca estuvo Rusia de desaparecer, fueron suecos, turcos, franceses, japoneses, polacos, alemanes y coaliciones occidentales los principales adversarios del pueblo ruso.
