"Dynasties" out of the "cultural machine". A culturological drawing.
We know Viktor Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov from his painting 'Bogatyrs' (1898). Everyone knows this picture, and everyone is proud of these bogatyrs. (Bogatyr - a powerful, strong warrior).
It is quite natural for the modern historical period to see the appearance of a radio story about the "Vasnetsov dynasty" - out of the modern "cultural machine".
There were, there were times... There were, there were (real) people...
A few years ago, I was on a bus. A woman (probably a grandmother) and a boy (probably her grandson) were riding next to me.
The boy looked strong, healthy, moderately fat.
I jokingly asked him: "Will you be a bogatyr?"
The boy thought for a moment and shook his head negatively: no! he does not want to be a bogatyr.
A modern "cultural machine" will not create an up-to-date radio story about the "Chkalov dynasty".
One of the heiresses of the famous pilot Chkalov (daughter of test pilot Valery Chkalov, 81-year-old Olga Valeryevna) did "a flying through" by about twenty million rubles. Where did the pensioner get such money? Maybe she sold the apartment received from the Soviet Government by pilot Chkalov?
Isn't what happened to 81-year-old Olga Valeryevna Chkalova interesting? There is reason to speculate about the modern criminal sub-culture and the unexpected manifestations of digitalization (did she transfer her money to "well-wishers" through the program-application?).
"At the dacha, the archives of our family, its entire history, five generations of Chkalovs were born here." "It was again stated that Olga Valeryevna is not the heir of her father and, therefore, has no rights to real estate." "Well, we are a well-known family and are ready to stand up for ourselves. And how many such ordinary citizens, whose property rights were simply spat on if someone liked their real estate objects." "In the spring, the elderly woman (Olga Valeryevna Chkalova) wrote a letter to Mikhail Mishustin asking him to protect the memory of his father."
(Chkalov's father, a boilermaker by profession, repaired vessels of Nizhny Novgorod merchants. And later he even bought a decommissioned river tug (tugboat) from one of them, restored it and became a shipowner. After the revolution of 1917, Chkalov's father had his tugboat taken away, as if he was a "bourgeois").
There are other interesting (younger) members of the "Chkalov dynasty". We won't talk about them - for a some reason.
It is much more interesting to tell about Vasnetsov's "terem" (Moscow, Vasnetova lane, 13) and that the artist looked like a boyar in his terem. Of course, one of the Vasnetsov brothers spoils the biographical sweet syrup a little. The new government has done something to him... This brother fell ill and died soon after... But this is an episode. In general, everything was not bad: many relatives of the artist Vasnetsov (after the events of 1917) lost their apartments and moved to the capital's "terem" - as to Noah, to Noah's Ark. (Well, they were robbed... Well, it happens ...). They waited out the most dangerous times in the "terem"... So everything was fine with the Vasnetsov dynasty.
And "The Morning of an official" ("The New Cavalier") (a painting by the Russian artist Pavel Fedotov, dated 1846)? Is it a bad picture?
You can place Ilya Repin's paintings "Ceremonial Sitting of the State Counci" and 'Barge Haulers on the Volga' next to "The Morning of an official".
Soon we will be told about Ilya Repin's dynasty. He was a lucky man, the chosen one of fate. And he did not live badly in Imperial Russia, and after 1917 he did not live badly (almost in Russia - nearby - in Finland; this territory was ceded to the USSR shortly after the death of Ilya Repin).
So soon we will hear radio stories about Ilya Repin's dynasty.
In the meantime, we will be proud of Vasnetsov's 'Bogatyrs' and we will wait for new stories about useful Russian dynasties, radio stories made in the bowels of the modern "cultural machine".
