The Fellowship of the Ring. The Large Hadron Collider

Today, scientists predict several options for the life of the universe. The first option is not the worst: the Universe as it is now has always been and will always exist. The second option: she was born, changed, and someday, sadly, she will die. Most scientists tend to the latter. The Universe was born as a result of an explosion of a small superdense clot of matter, which had great energy, which began to scatter in different directions. But how did the planets and, ultimately, life itself come from energy? Thousands of scientists are looking for the answer to this question. Peter Higgs is the most expensive scientist for the world economy. His theory of the birth of the universe has already cost taxpayers 6 million euros. And this is not the limit. The Large Hadron Collider, which is capable of confirming the Higgs theory, has not even begun to operate at full capacity. And many are sure that they will never start.

"Everything for the front, everything for victory!" it was the slogan of the time. Despite the difficulties, they did not lose heart, worked hard and believed in victory over fascism.

The Key to the Clockwork Orange

The film "The Key to a clockwork Orange" is dedicated to the street war of anti-fascists and nationalists of the 2000s. The focus is on the musical preferences and political ideas of the conflict participants who lost their health and lives in the bloody FA-ANTIFA confrontation. It was a subcultural war, the main front of which was music. It was conducted by very similar young people who did not fit into the social structure of modern Russian society. Now they have matured, and the activity of street confrontation has decreased. The main feeling that the heroes of the film, named after the cult novel by Anthony Burgess and Stanley Kubrick's tape, indulge in is nostalgia, and after it comes a new understanding of the years experienced and an understanding of the enduring value of the main motor of conflict activity – youth.

November 16, 1581 - November 16, 2013. Eras of Mercy

Ilya Repin's painting "Ivan the Terrible and his son Ivan on November 16, 1581" (another name "Ivan the Terrible kills his Son"), the most famous to us from school textbooks, was banned by Emperor Alexander III in 1885, and thus became the first picture to be censored in the Russian Empire. 130 years later, already in modern Russia, a group of historians and activists appealed to the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation with a request to remove the canvas from the Tretyakov Gallery. Is there a causal relationship between the past and the present?

Numbered

In the late fifties, a strange patient was being treated in one of the Moscow hospitals. Doctors could not diagnose him in any way, and meanwhile he was getting worse and worse. But the unusual patient had no right to tell what happened to him. Mahmud Rafikov was not an employee of the special services or a classified scientist. He was a cinematographer, but his name was not indicated in the credits, his films were numbered, not named, and he himself was under a non-disclosure agreement for fifty years. He was the only one who participated in the filming when Yuri Gagarin landed, he was filming nuclear explosions at close range, and he was lucky enough to survive after the release of radioactive elements on a submarine. Korolev and Kurchatov admired his skill. At the age of ninety-one, this only eyewitness of the events remembers every little thing.
