And she died boarding the ship...
... Russia, poor power,
Your strangled glory
Died with Catherine.

November 5, 1934, in Leningrad, in the cinema "Titan" the premiere of the film "Chapaev" took place. It has become a cult for several generations of Soviet people.

The film was directed by the Vasilyev brothers according to their script. Only they are not brothers at all, this is a pseudonym. They are just namesakes: Georgy Nikolaevich and Sergey Dmitrievich. They took Furmanov's novel "Chapaev" only as a basis, writing a new work. Suffice it to say that about the orderly Chapaev in the novel only two or three sentences of the type “entered-exited” were written, and there was no machine gunner Anka at all.

The hero of the film, of course, is mythologized; he had little in common with the real Chapaev. But that's what made the movie so popular. Even now, no, no, yes, it will flash on the TV screen, but how many films in the world can attract the viewer in seven decades?

But comrades in the Democratic Party persuaded both Roosevelt and the whole country - and who else will be able to run the state in the face of an impending war? It was Roosevelt who brought the country out of the Great Depression. In 100 days he managed to overcome the crisis. He closed all banks, allowing only the “healthiest” to work under the strict control of the government. In industry, he introduced a "code of fair competition", which meant no less stringent state regulation of production and sales volumes. The dollar was devalued, the gold standard was abolished. Bases were created for 17 million unemployed social labor and camps with free delivery clothing and food, and earning thirty dollars a month.

About the day of liberation, he writes as follows: “I caught screams from the side of the embankment ... The screams from the embankment became louder, many people shouted:
- ... ah-ah-ah ... shchi ... it ... ah-ah!
I... held my breath, listening. From the embankment they shouted in the most magnificent Muscovite-Russian language:
- That-va-ri-schi! Come out! Soviet authority came!
Fir-trees-sticks, everything swam before my eyes! He muttered something incoherently, shouted... and rushed out into the street... The blockage of the bridge nearby was terrible and ominous. Some living creatures, either people or animals, climbed on all fours onto a steep embankment. I instantly realized that they were the same people hiding as we were, I rushed up, overtaking them, but I was no longer the first. Up there, on the rails, women hugged, wept, squealed hysterically, ragged old women threw themselves on their necks. Soviet soldiers. The soldiers asked in a business-like manner: - Are there any Germans?
- Not! Not! - sobbing, shouted to them.
There were few soldiers, a few people, obviously, intelligence. They talked, and then one of them fired a green rocket into the sky ... "

On November 5, 1958, the Central Committee of the CPSU, "meeting the wishes of the working people" (as it was formulated), adopted a resolution on the creation of people's squads for public participation in the fight against crime. mental asylum Stakhanov pleased, God forbid, not as a victim of repression, but according to a completely objective diagnosis: sclerosis, which developed on the basis of chronic alcoholism and was complicated by a stroke. Stakhanov drank long and hard, so the outcome was more or less logical.

Back in 1935, he set a record for coal production, and since then his name has become a household name. But the fate of the legendary man could not be called happy. As we remember, for about twenty years he was at the pinnacle of success, after which he was slowly pushed to the back of history. And although his name continued to bring ideological dividends, Stakhanov himself had little from this. And here is the result - the end of his life he lived in a psychiatric hospital. Only one newspaper, Pravda, published an obituary for his death. Naturally, not a word was said about the psychiatric hospital.
