The Vyzov and Medinsky. A culturological note.
The history of filming a feature film in space with an approximate cost of at least 100 million US dollars is coming to an end.
In a country where people buy illegal alcohol to save money and then die in dozens, such projects look like a kind of daring challenge (vyzov).
To make a movie on the topic of space exploration and cosmic industry, they didn't need to fly into space. It was necessary to visit Roskosmos, enterprises and organizations subordinate to Roskosmos, and shoot a film about the lunar project of the USSR (Russia), about the development of a Russial super-heavy rocket to fly to the Moon. Characters of the film: finance ministers, heads of Roscosmos, chief (general) designers ... I suppose that it was possible to keep within 150 million rubles, that is, 2 million US dollars. And if they try, they could limit themselves to a smaller amount ...
The proposed project "Vyzov" ("Challenge") may remind to someone among history fans of (another) project by Vladimir Medinsky: A series of lectures on the history of the 18th century. A story outside of textbooks content - with participation of Vladimir Medinsky. (The story outside of textbooks - with (participation of) Vladimir Medinsky is a joint project of Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda and the Dostoevsky lecture hall) [unofficial translation].
Much more interesting would be a history of financial abuse by high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation - during the period (May 21, 2012 - January 15, 2020), when Vladimir Medinsky was the head of the Ministry of Culture.
Unfortunately, we did not hear in the media reports - what is the cost of the new project (with the participation) of Medinsky.
Maybe this project will not require any additional costs? Or, nevertheless, someone received something (some financing) for these purposes?
Vladimir Medinsky will carry out the project free of charge (without special tranches) - that is, he will be based on the salary that he, perhaps, receives now?
Maybe Vladimir Medinsky acts like a real Moscow philanthropist - he finances his project from his own (personal) capital? ..
In general, a new "Vyzov" ("challenge") we see...
(Today is the October 17th. - It remains to recall the fate of the museum associated with this historical date ... It seems that the museum associated with the Moscow uprising (1905) ("Historical and Memorial Museum "Presnya") entered a state of transformation (in September 2015)? And no one of the outstanding cultural figures did not think of transforming it into (did not think of creating) a museum of October 17, 1905? ... Alas, alas ... None of the statesmen responded to this cultural challenge ...).
