On the other hand, he starts writing his opera on the story of Boris Godunov. The Marinsky Theatre refuses to stage the work. The Five, and Mussorgsky among them, are libeled and the group starts disintegrating. When 'Boris Godunov' is finally performed in 1874, it is a popular success. close

It was a private hike in the mountains. Ordinary tourists, unprepared for the difficult trials that may lurk in the mountains, set off from the mountainous southern tourist base along a well-studied route, along which tens of thousands of people have already passed for many years. And none of the members of that group paid much attention to the alarming storm warning.
When a snowstorm suddenly hit the tourists on the mountain pass, the situation began to quickly get out of control. Caught by bad weather by surprise, people were trapped - a strong wind fell from their feet, white haze covered everything around, prickly snow blinded their eyes. It was impossible to return back, to go forward – there was not enough strength, there was nowhere to hide. There was a panic. In the most difficult situation in which the heroes of the film “Storm Warning” found themselves, as in no other, the best and worst qualities of those who went on that ill-fated campaign were manifested.

This dramatic story became the basis for the essay “Tornado” Arkady Waxberg Later, in a slightly modified version, based on the script of this film. close

The action of the cartoon I. Kovalevskaya “Walk” is accompanied by the music of Sergei Prokofiev. The bee spins to the sounds of compositions dedicated to children. She flies off a fragrant flower and looks for a new one. Around - golden green summer, full of fragrance. Two tanned boys are watching the bee. Having bent the board of the country fence, they run out into the open space and race where their blue eyes look. How good it is to play hide-and-seek in the fragrant grass! But games give way to contemplation. Two beautiful butterflies fly over the children, dragonflies dance. In the living sky, bizarre patterns of wings are formed.
But here's the march. Ants came out onto the clearing, grasshoppers jumped in. A child’s hand caught one of them for a moment. And suddenly, under the already smooth sounds, there was a warm summer rain. Children wait for him under the thick foliage of a tree. And then there is a miracle of miracles – a rainbow.
Behind the scene
