Vasily Svarog. I.V. Stalin and members of the Politburo among children in the Central Party named after M. Gorky, 1939 8. Alexander Deineka. The shot down AS, 1943 I.A. Antonova (Tretyakovka was engaged in repairs). But, of course, many other museums and institutions worked on it. In each section, we have our own microdes and mini-sensations. For example, for the first time in Russia, a large picturesque triptych of Max Bekman “Argonauts” is exhibited. And the theatrical panthrothees of the Second World War. In the process of “diving into the exhibition” many “plots” surfaced, essential for our ideas about Russian-German contacts and exchanges. For example, the globe-shaped stage installation used by Meyerhold in Mayakovsky's Mystery-Buff is very similar to the segment-globus scene in the performance of Erwin Piscator Rasputin. Once upon a time, such moments caused a debate about priority, and now they have become an obvious culture. When selecting exhibits, we sought to avoid shiny works. In general, despite the fact that none of the authors of the exposition can never be fully satisfied with their work, the Moscow version of the exhibition, even contrary to loss compared to Berlin, is more clearly read and looks more compact than there. In my opinion.
Now, when in Russia, most of the elections have only standing elections, perhaps this exhibition will not cause such sensational interest as caused in Germany last year - in the year of the 50th anniversary of victory over fascism. Our compatriots today are not up to worldview issues. And yet I hope that we tried not in vain. You can do such a tremendous organizational organizational and under preparatory work only once in a life (Katya Khokhlova and Volodya Kolyazin worked on the sections of the cinema and the theater together all this time). Preparing "Moscow - Berlin", we seemed to have survived all fifty years of cultural relations of the two countries.
A.T.: In other words, do you intend to make exhibitions further?
MT: I really hope so! I would like to make one, in my opinion, very interesting, although much more chamber than “Moscow - Berlin”, exhibition of the 1930s (I better engage in it from superstition). And to the Soviet-American film-design, dedicated to the same decade that I worked on in America last year (though only for Paper GE), I already have 35 programs. I would like to show it to the audience ...
The Moscow Berlin exhibition resembles both a wedding and a funeral at the same time Yuri Avvakumov with
