Maybe she was lying? Or maybe not: a TV director I know who served in a cavalry regiment said that the soldiers, of course, did not put out cigarette butts on the horses, but they treated the horses very badly, which is why they did not allow them to put a bridle on their ears, swollen from beatings, and beat people themselves not only with their hind legs, but also with their front legs.

the listed performances, in the opinion of the Afisha theater observer, are the best that can be seen in the city during these two weeks. In the last weeks before the season closes in half of the theaters, it is recommended to watch performances by the most fashionable (Vladimir Mirzoev), the most conceptual (Kama Ginkas), the youngest (Elena Nevezhina) and the most acting (Konstantin Raikin) of Moscow directors.

Zverev Center for Contemporary Art The salty taste of half-lundra was in the air from the very beginning. At the vernissage, artist Elena Kovylina stood for an hour and a half on a stool - her head in a noose, on her neck a sign with an image of a leg kicking a stool and the inscription “Do it yourself.” Nobody dared to do it.

Teenagers definitely need to beat someone up. Affirming your own ideals through fists strengthens character. In the 80s, the ideological part of Soviet youth (and law enforcement agencies) bullied metal workers. “Heavy metal is music until the first policeman,” Stas Namin thoughtfully noted. There were no more terrible people in the world than metalheads: dumplings in ink, spiked jackets. And also these... what's their name... wristbands!

About six years ago I was going somewhere on business, but I ended up staying in front of the box for an hour and a half. Nothing happened on the screen: a table, a chair, the elderly actor Georgy Millyar talking about life. He speaks slowly, almost without intonation, and thinks for a long time: his eyes are in space, his forehead is furrowed, his mouth is slightly open. The pause is about two minutes - the longest possible on television.

Nonesuch Records The great American guitarist Bill Frisell loves his homeland very much. In his youth, he marched with the clarinet in the school orchestra, and at night he learned the blues of B.B. King. The lesson paid off: by the end of the eighties, Frisell had become a respected jazz virtuoso.

where the hero fights with enemies Horse ammunition in Moscow is as expensive as in the rest of the world. However, if you don’t have boots with heels and prance in sneakers, then when the horse throws you (and it will sooner or later), you won’t get up and run for the trainer’s cake, as the ritual requires, but will get your foot stuck in the stirrups.

a donkey, and the trainer was engaged in dressage with a blue-eyed girl and only sometimes paid attention to my suffering and said: “Crack him harder.” I was afraid of cracking the gelding, because I felt sorry for him and because once he carried me around the arena at an uninvited gallop, scattering those around me.

A successful Parisian lawyer, Antoine, stands at the altar. Shoulder to shoulder with the decked-out Severine, also a successful lawyer. “Do you promise to love your betrothed until the end of your days?” The groom is already opening his mouth to answer, when suddenly he sees among the guests a woman with whom he falls in love - at first sight and forever. If you think Antoine has problems, you don't know anything yet. The fact is that the woman is his mother-in-law. A very life story.

The Norwegians harnessed it - now they wouldn’t go. Draccar Records / BMG The most successful find on the album is the title. These people really have terrible taste, and that explains a lot. The vocalist's name is Sylvia Superstar. She has red hair and silicone breasts. One of the musicians wears a leather collar with spikes around his neck. The other's face is adorned with a drooping mustache and brightly lined eyes. His skull is shaved bald.
