The creative activity of Tatyana Lioznova in the context of the fate of the USSR. A culturological essay.
The solemn rumble of drums is heard. Deities made of mahogany and ebony are exhibited.
Everyone is full of attention and admiration.
What's happened!?
Let's turn to the radio program.
If I understood correctly, a certain anniversary of Tatyana Lioznova.
How did it happen? There were so many immensely talented people, and the USSR ordered to live for a long time?
I previously put forward a version: Vladimir Bogomolov was followed by Julian Semenov. If Vladimir Bogomolov was a person who did not seek contacts with higher spheres, then Julian Semenov had an inclination to acquire a real estate in the Crimea. Such plan required, according to his biography, the benevolent attitude of many high-ranking officials.
Interestingly, Vladimir Bogomolov wrote about real people, and Julian Semenov created the image of an ideal person - Isaev.
I cannot prove that Julian Semyonov followed Vladimir Bogomolov - through the using a real documents. This is just a guess, a version.
But it is obvious that Tatyana Lioznova followed - in a certain sense - Julian Semenov.
Making true films about real people - for example, about the fate of the head of SMERSH or about the fate of the head of a space project - it would be too bitter a truth.
Or, for example, to make a film about the fate of the Badayev warehouses in Leningrad.
There is an offensive on Leningrad. The encirclement is finishing, or has already is fulfilled. Von Leeb examines the map, analyzes the situation. A staff officer enters the room: "It has been established that the main food supplies in Leningrad are concentrated in the Badayev warehouses!" Von Leeb calls the Luftwaffe unit: "I order to bomb the Badayev warehouses!" An hour later, the Badayev warehouses begin to be destroyed.
Before this fragment of the film, another episode is given. Lieutenant Redkin reports to Major Andreev: "The main volume of food supplies is concentrated in the Badayev warehouses. I suggest to disperse the supplies and to place them in the basements!" Major Andreev: "And if the party control commission will find that some of the food supplies will be eaten by mice, and we will be accused of sabotage?"
Another option: An important high-ranking person reads Major Andreev's report about Lieutenant Redkin's suggestion to disperse (to preserve in different places) food supplies. But it's time for lunch. An important person sits in the dining room. He looks at his wife, in silence, for twenty minutes. Meanwhile, the sound of Luftwaffe planes arriving is heard. These planes bomb the Badayev warehouses.
Anyway, Tatyana Lioznova did not make a film about the Badayev warehouses, especially since no one answered for the loss of food supplies, no one has been held accountable for the loss of food stocks (and for the consequences).
She also did not make a film based on Vladimir Bogomolov's novel about SMERSH and about the head of this service.
But she made a film about an ideal person, created by the imagination of Julian Semenov. This ideal man was engaged in an important matter: he prevented the conclusion of a separate peace between the United States and Great Britain, on the one side, and Hitler's Germany, on the other side.
Maybe it was necessary to mention in some way the Atlantic Charter signed by US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill?
This Atlantic Charter established that no separate peace treaty (or other peace treaty) could be concluded - until the complete defeat of Nazi Germany. (A little later, the USSR also joined the Atlantic Charter).
However, if the Atlantic Charter would be mentioned, then the film directed by Tatyana Lioznova based on the work of Julian Semenov, largely would lose its charm. In such option, the main "spring" (idea) of the film would be lost.
In general, the Soviet culture - in many of its manifestations - was an interesting phenomenon. Vladimir Bogomolov, Julian Semenov, Tatiana Lioznova, and many others were represented in it.
In the meantime, we can distract ourselves from culturological reflections and listen to the solemn rumble of drums and enjoy the view of the deities made of mahogany and ebony. At the same time, we can wonder: why did it happen this way - with the USSR?
