Regarding the "last century" Denis Dragunsky Publication date: December 29, 2000 The late Fadin was a leftist. He said it is difficult to be leftist in our time. Pavlovsky and I were right. Kordonsky too. This was the situation on the editorial board of the 20th Century . Editor-in-Chief Belyaev was above the fray. The editorial office was located on the sixth floor of a former apartment building in the courtyard behind Moscow News - the entrance was through an arch.

Through the desert Grigory Pomerantz Publication date: December 29, 2000 The first thing I remember in connection with “The 20th Century and the World” is that I had to be brief, the Journal was thin, looked like a notebook - an exchange of remarks naturally suggested itself. But there was not always enough space for dialogue.

My profession and view of the world, in general, are distant and alien to history and time; I satisfy my curiosity, earn a living, give back to society - peering into space, landscape, analyzing and describing space. In these notes I will speak about space, about what is visible in our country when looking at it through the prism of its space.

"Verdi-Gala", a large hall of the Moscow Conservatory After the musical luxury of December, when almost all outstanding domestic musicians arrived in Moscow, January does not promise great joys. And many, tired of the music of December, are now going to relax properly. But not Irina Arkhipova , who decided to celebrate Millennium in a brown. Two evenings in a row, the Russian National Orchestra will accompany the arias from the opera Verdi.

Public opinion of the first freshness Sonia Margolina Publication date: December 29, 2000 My article “The Crisis of Journalism in the USSR” appeared in the magazine “The 20th Century and the World” in 1991, even before the August putsch. I cannot say that my thoughts at that time about the problems of Russian journalism were refuted by subsequent developments. Quite the opposite.

A few words from the reader-editor Ilya Lepikhov Publication date: December 29, 2000 Everyone is writing about the book... The main thing, it is the only one, is a memory of the 20th Century and the world : either a large letter or a skinny parcel. My then-acquaintance, the daughter of a high-ranking Soviet diplomat, an intelligent and bilious person, spoke about the Century... in excellent terms.

Tajikistan before choice In the new century - with a new image of the state or with old feuds? Andrey Zakhvatov Publication date: December 29, 2000 Tajikistan, a country with a centuries-old history and culture, after a brutal civil war on the threshold of the 21st century, was faced with a choice: strengthening statehood and development or old feuds.

The monument to V.I. Lenin is being dismantled The BTA agency reported that the temporary city council of the Bulgarian capital, headed by former dissident Alexander Karkachanov, decided to dismantle the 15-meter monument to V.I. Lenin, which 25 years ago was installed in the center of Sofia opposite the building of the Central Committee of the BKP. The site freed in this way will be subsequently used for the construction of a metro station.

In connection with the upcoming holiday, which probably won’t be called anything today, I offer a collection of attempts to understand our bleak high-tech fate in the year 2000 and predictions of our happy high-tech fate in the year 2001. Reflections: Janet Kornblum in USA Today ; technology and business staff collectively at Salon Magazine ; Scott Petersen at eWeek ; Carl Kaplan in the New York Times Cyber ​​Law Journal .

Interpol, issue thirty-five. The day before Ivan Davydov Publication date: December 29, 2000 On the nose. New, new, new. Enter what is necessary, cross out what is unnecessary.

KSI and others The Short Age of "Nonviolent Peace" Vyacheslav Igrunov Publication date: December 29, 2000 It didn't last long, this club. Just a few months. But the Antenna-2 film crew from France managed to film it. “On display,” an overly zealous scribbler will write, and will tear away the smiles of the respectable public, which has not stained itself in dubious, that is, fruitless and fleeting, undertakings.

Premiere. "A wonderful medicine for longing" S. Zlotnikov. Director - I. Raykhelgauz. "School of modern play" The playwright Semyon Zlotnikov is a long -standing weakness of Joseph Reichelgauz. From the young nails, he puts his play one after another: Zlotnikov for Reichelgauz is like Chekhov for Stanislavsky. Even Raichelgauz loves to conjure with different types of arts, carefully synthesizing them in his creative laboratory.

Speech and violence Hasan Huseynov Publication date: December 29, 2000 The collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917 led to the emergence of a number of small independent national states (Poland, Finland) and an attempt to build a new state on the principles of a federation of equal peoples. Russian statehood had to give way to statehood of a class, or supranational, type; From this first attempt, some nodes remain to this day, poorly integrated into the system.

It was a shock Vyacheslav Igrunov Publication date: December 29, 2000 The 20th century and the world are, first of all, the magazine itself, a small, worn-out book, completely unexpected, unprepossessing, in which is written something that you cannot read anywhere else. This is conformity shock. For me, the 20th century and peace meant a lot. It was the very end of 1986 when Pavlovsky offered me cooperation. I was completely stunned. I could not believe it.

The first day of the year is as usual, the day of new films. The main premieres of the first two channels fit into the post -holiday surroundings. "Features of national hunting in the winter period" on ORT (18:15) are appropriate for viewing during a traditional visit to friends, when you observe movements on the television screen in the end, having time to bite, talk lively, play cards and so on. No one will force you with a loud cry "Yes, you are quieter!" Clutch to the screen.
