Located opposite the main entrance of the Moscow Art Theater, “Artistichka” was considered a “club of all arts” in the 1960s. Artists Yuri Sobolev and Hulo Sooster created the atmosphere of a Parisian bohemian cafe here. The small room was usually packed to capacity. In the clouds tobacco smoke, over coffee and sandwiches, actors, directors, artists and writers discussed new productions, articles, exhibitions. A special attraction here was Alexander Asarkan - a writer, theater critic, a man of great charm, who was considered a spiritual mentor and educator of the capital's intelligentsia. At his favorite table by the window, he often wrote and drew on postcards, pasted various cutouts on them, creating works of art, and then sent them to friends - now they would call it mail art.
A variety of bright creative forces of the era gathered around the monumental personality of the Unknown. The workshop in one of the Sretensky lanes became the main meeting place in Moscow; foreigners who wanted to get into the thick of the intellectual life of the capital were brought here. The owner himself visited practically no one, making exceptions perhaps for Ilya Kabakov. Neizvestny's circle of friends was unusually wide. Frequent guests were the sculptor's classmates at the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University Alexander Zinoviev and Merab Mamardashvili, physicists Pyotr Kapitsa, Lev Landau, Andrei Sakharov, as well as Vysotsky, Akhmadulina, Aksenov, Okudzhava and others.

This circle originated in the smoking room of the V.I. Lenin Library. Here we met people who were passionate about philosophy and esotericism. Soon the meetings were moved to the apartment of the writer Yuri Mamleev. Visitors to two small adjacent rooms of a communal apartment, one of the windows of which overlooked the blank wall of a neighboring house, talked about mysticism and Kabbalah, called themselves “schizos,” demonstrating their divergence from the generally accepted norm, and discussed plans to assassinate the leadership of the Soviet state. There were so many people that some guests had to sit on the closet. Sometimes conversations were warmed up with vodka and a simple snack.
Sovremennik Theater
The first thaw theater "Sovremennik" was created in 1956 by graduates of the Moscow Art Theater School (Igor Kvasha, Oleg Tabakov, Evgeny Evstigneev, Liliya Tolmacheva, Galina Volchek, etc.). The debut performance of Viktor Rozov’s play “Forever Alive,” shown on the stage of the Studio School at night, ended with a long discussion of the performance, in which actors and spectators participated. In 1961, the theater received its own building on Mayakovsky Square, 1. Refusing the stiltedness of Soviet productions, chief director Oleg Efremov and his students called Stanislavsky their teacher and strived for naturalness and truth of life. In the heroes of Sovremennik’s productions, viewers began to recognize themselves, people of their generation.
Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts named after A.S. Pushkin
From 1949 to 1953 most halls of the State Museum fine arts named after A. S. Pushkin, there was an exhibition of gifts for Stalin’s 70th anniversary. The updated art exhibition opened only after the death of the leader - in December 1953. In 1956, under the pressure of the public, eager to see the works of Pablo Picasso, they almost flew off entrance doors. Since the early 1960s, the museum's activities have intensified. The new director, Irina Antonova, overcoming the resistance of the Ministry of Culture, and sometimes despite its open disapproval, organized exhibitions that became signs of the era. In 1966 there was another exhibition of Picasso (graphics and ceramics), and in 1969 - of Matisse (from the Paris Museum of Modern Art). A queue of visitors in front of the museum entrance on Volkhonka, stretching for several hundred meters, became a familiar sight.

House of Culture of Moscow State University
The cultural life of Moscow State University was distinguished by the same universality as its learning programs. There was a literary studio on Mokhovaya. Since 1968, it was called “Luch” and was led by the poet, critic and literary critic Igor Volgin. In the cultural center on Herzen Street, readings by young poets were held and the theater-studio “Our House” operated, whose main director was Mark Rozovsky. It was closed in 1969 at the same time as another university theater, Leninskie Gory, which was registered in main building, for the courage of the productions, which official language was called “immaturity of ideological positions.”
Museum of Science and Industry
Yevtushenko, Okudzhava, Akhmadulina, Voznesensky have organized poetry readings here since 1954. But they gained the greatest popularity in the 1960s. Director Marlen Khutsiev included a recording of one of the evenings in the film “Ilyich's Outpost.” After the dispersal of readings at the monument to Mayakovsky, the center of poetic Moscow moved to the Polytechnic Museum. Ideological control was, of course, stronger here. The evenings were organized by the Komsomol city committee, and many Mayak participants did not come here. But at each meeting the hall was filled to capacity with a motley audience. Poetry reigned supreme at this time.

Lianozovskaya group
One of the barracks of the former women's camp near the Lianozovo station was the center of Russian unofficial culture from 1958 to 1964. The artist Oscar Rabin lived here, who served as a “foreman for unloading railway cars” at a water station being built nearby. His teacher and father-in-law, artist and poet Yevgeny Kropivnitsky, was the inspiration of this community, which organized open painting viewings and poetry readings on weekends. In 1964, Rabin moved to Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Street, and the meetings moved there.
In December 1962, a famous exhibition took place in the Moscow Manege on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Moscow Branch of the Union of Artists (MOSH). It is famous primarily for the scandal caused by Nikita Khrushchev. The First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee and the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR did not like the paintings of the avant-garde artists Falk, Tatlin and Drevin, as well as the reporting exhibition of works by 60 young artists of the “New Reality” group, headed by Eliy Belyutin. Khrushchev shouted, waved his arms, called what he saw “daub,” and said that his grandson would draw better. The next morning, the central newspapers came out with accusatory articles. However, visitors who wanted to see the works that outraged Khrushchev did not find them. After the exhibition, the artists of Belutin’s studio had to switch to an unofficial position; they began to gather at the teacher’s dacha in Abramtsevo. Belyutin himself was banned, restricted from traveling abroad, and was awarded the next exhibition only in 1990. But contemporary art returned to Manege earlier. Already in 1967, the exhibition “Artists of Moscow - the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution” was held here, where works by Ernst Neizvestny, Ilya Kabakov and others were displayed.

Sitnikov himself worked at the Surikov School, demonstrating slides at lectures by professors (for which he received the nickname Vaska the Lamplighter). The order here was authoritarian. The teacher - a wiry, strong man in a stretched T-shirt and constant boots - demanded unquestioning obedience from the students, wanted them to destroy old works and forget everything they had learned in other schools. Many famous masters started here, for example, Vladimir Weisberg, who sought the formula for perfect painting.

17 families lived in a huge apartment that occupied the entire second floor of a small wooden house on Bolshaya Polyanka. The room closest to the entrance was occupied by Lyudmila Ilyinichna Ginzburg and her son Alexander. They lived almost without furniture, but the walls were hung with paintings by Lianozov artists Oscar Rabin and Valentina Kropivnitskaya. You could come here without warning at any time of the day. The hostess made coffee for the guests, poets and dissident writers who were engrossed in conversations about politics and art. Prepared here " White paper"- a collection of materials from the trial of Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuliy Daniel.

Sound letter studio
Sound letters became a novelty in the early 1960s in the USSR. Congratulations on the holiday or the favorite song of the hero of the day in his own performance could be recorded in a special studio on a flexible record and sent to any part of the country. Such studios appeared in the capital and resort cities of the USSR, one of them is not far from Red Square, at the very beginning of Gorky Street. In addition to sound letters, copies of records by jazz and rock musicians, as well as domestic performers banned in the USSR, were clandestinely made here. Officially, the studio offered: “You can decorate your sound message with a musical fragment.” On the front side of the record, as a rule, there was a landscape and some kind of inscription, for example, “Greetings from Yalta!” Some discs were released in unique sleeves with the name of the artist - today they are of the greatest interest to collectors.

This post will show what Moscow was like during the period of its expansion in the 50s - 60s of the XX century. It was at this time that the city expanded to the limits of the Moscow Ring Road, absorbing many villages and towns that had previously been suburbs.
On Leninsky Prospekt, near the current Stroiteley Street. The grandmother and the cow did not get lost. It’s just that the villages in the southwest of the capital, which had their own way of life, were still preserved.
The future Kutuzovsky Avenue is being laid.
Here is the part of the avenue that was completed. Either the rules traffic were softer, or looked at this “through their fingers”.
Courtyard near the Kievsky railway station.
Also nearby - on the Borodino Bridge. Low buildings on Smolenskaya Street and a lonely dominant... The building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has never had such an environment as it does now.
Nearby Rostov embankment. The wings of the "House of Architects" have not yet been completed. The Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, which is on Berezhki, has already been beheaded, but has not yet been demolished, as well as the small buildings around it.
Near the Sokol metro station. The carved patterns of private houses and the power of the newly built “space” NPO “Almaz” (it was not called that then).
In the same area. Corner of 2nd Peschanaya and Chapaevsky Lane. The wonderful house, of course, is long gone.
Novopodmoskovnaya street (now Zoya and Alexandra Kosmodemyansky). Not preserved houses; a regular ZiS-155 and a horse-drawn grain truck on a collision course.
The former Dorogomilovo and the new hotel "Ukraine".
Matveevskoye, the remaining private houses and the new Veernaya Street. In the background are Mosfilmovskaya Street and the houses of another now disappeared village, Gladyshev. Photo from 1968.
Mazilovo. Downhill skiing in the ravine of the Filka River. The Khrushchev buildings of Kastanaevskaya and Tarutinskaya streets, which are being completed here, have now been demolished and replaced with modern housing. Photo from 1963.
The picturesquely located village of Krylatskoye. Visible are Moscow State University and below - the main house of the Kuntsevo estate. 1962
Pontoon bridge on the Moscow River, which in winter time connected the villages of Shchukino and Strogino. View of the Shchukinsky shore. Among the village houses and fences, the hospital of the 3rd Main Directorate of the USSR Ministry of Health, specialized in treating workers in hazardous industries (mainly with radiation), stands alone. 1960
The village of Petrovo, the slope of the beautiful Skhodnenskaya bowl dotted with ravines. 1965
Former dacha in Pokrovsky-Streshnevo (Aviation Street). The 6th tram runs from Tushino to Sokol. 1968

Pastoral landscape in Degunin. Only on the horizon on the right can we discern new buildings near the Korovinskoye Highway. Photo taken between 1963-1966.
6th passage of Maryina Roshcha: "Khazy" and "raspberry" have been removed, and the houses themselves are surviving. 1967

The Vykhino station (metro + railway platform) is just under construction. View towards Moscow. 1966
Barracks in the village of Kozhukhovo (now Trofimova Street). 1967
Printers, Shosseynaya street. Pipes in the frame are a sign of very imminent changes. The printers will also become a “dormitory area.” Photo from 1966.
The future Nagatinskaya embankment.
The last remains of the village of Cheryomushki (view from Shvernika Street). The headless village church still stands...1962.
Zyuzino old and new. I’ll add to the caption under the photo that if you mentally draw a diagonal across the mud from the left bottom corner to the middle of the right edge, we get modern Kakhovka Street (in principle, its route is “readable” in the picture). And the pond remained. 1964
At the Trinity Church in Konkovo. 1969
Sandy lanes. Wooden houses are giving way to new buildings. In the distance, the Hydroproject Institute is being built at the fork of the Volokolamskoye and Leningradskoye highways. 1965 (the dating on the photo itself is erroneous).
Troparevo, site of the future Vernadsky Avenue. A still from the feature film "Sunflowers", filmed in 1969.
Farmers of the village of Semenovskoye against the backdrop of new buildings on Architect Vlasov Street. 1965
Unique photos of Moscow! In 1952-1954, Major worked at the US Embassy in Moscow American army Martin Manhoff. He filmed much of what he saw in the USSR. Perhaps it was for this reason that he was expelled from the country so quickly on suspicion of espionage.
All his photographs and video recordings collected dust in the closet for 50 years, and practically no one knew about them. But after the death of Manhoff's wife, all these materials fell into the hands of historian Douglas Smith. It seems like there are thousands of photographs that Douglas promised to digitize and post online. And now the first part is ready.
The photographs show mostly Moscow, with a little bit of Yalta, Murmansk, and Kyiv. The footage is unique in that it is not a typical production for that time. Here you can see the real life of that time, and even in color.
Enjoy!

A small photo selection of Moscow contrasts of the fifties
evoked responses in the category “but I remember...”.
They remembered specifically the wooden buildings that persisted in various outlying areas of Moscow.
No wonder.
The "explosive" expansion of the city to the Moscow Ring Road in 1960 led to
getting into the city limits of many villages, hamlets, country houses and barracks settlements.
The city did not immediately manage to “digest” them.
So, let's take a walk through our native villages?

When the trams were abolished, the rails were asphalted and only in 70 they opened up the asphalt and dismantled the rails, and in addition to the rails, they removed many more layers of asphalt, which were simply laid one on top of the other, as a result of which the load reached a huge value (I’m afraid to lie in numbers - I remember).But the structure survived, and moreover, the deformation did not exceed the calculated values!
7. Ostozhenka towards the center. 1913
8. Boy and TV. 1955-1956 The photo was taken from a large Stalinist house across the river (no. 2 on Krasnopresnenskaya embankment)

These 2 water towers were built at the turn of the 20th century, but not for steam locomotives (it would be too fat!), but for the houses of the Meshchanskaya Sloboda surrounding them. The houses were no higher than 2-3 floors, and the height of the towers with reservoirs at the top was enough for them to supply water supply. And for steam locomotives, just an L-shaped pipe 3-4 m high was enough; in old films they were often included in the frame. In the post-war period they began to build high buildings, here there was clearly not enough water pressure, so they broke this beauty, and opened a wide path to Yaroslavka.
15. Yards near the Burevestnik recreation center, 1935.
The photo shows a view of 1st Nosov Lane. The block of wooden houses between Sokolnichesky Val, 1st Rybinskaya, 3rd Rybinskaya and Rybinsky lanes was cut by 4 lanes - 1st and 2nd Nosov and 1st and 3rd Rybinsky.

17. Shcherbakovskaya street - in the courtyard of house 26/30. 1955
From the "author":
The main thing is that in such houses everyone knew each other. How many times have I heard something like: “Aunt Man, look after mine, I’m running to the store!” And Aunt Manya is watching. Like your own. And he can hit the butt if he spoils him, and his mother comes and adds: why didn’t you listen to Aunt Manya?... “Uncle Van! You can watch TV, today “Volga-Volga” will be shown”... - “Come on, come in!" At the same time, someone can go to bed in the room: get up early tomorrow. They'll cover the lampshade with a newspaper... For example, I watched this film at... I can't even say "at the neighbors" - I watched it in the house across the street. I came there with my friend and classmate. He knew this family. They point at me: “Whose is this?” - “And Aunt Marusya from the 20th house” - “Ah-ah... Will you slurp some cabbage soup?” (I remember this “slurp” cabbage soup). There were different relationships, a different culture of life.

Tkatskaya at the beginning The 70s were still entirely built up with these log houses.
