What world-famous Soviet melody did its author consider a creative failure?

The song "Moscow Evenings" is one of the most recognizable Soviet melodies in the world, although initially Vasily Solovyov-Sedoy rejected it. He took it out of the box after ordering a lyrical song from the authors of the film about the Spartakiad of the peoples of the RSFSR, and his partner in the creative duet Mikhail Matusovsky sketched out poems. It took place in a dacha near Leningrad, so the text of the evening was originally “Leningrad”, but since, according to the plot, the athletes were gaining strength before the starts at a sports base in the Moscow region, they made the appropriate corrections. The artistic council considered the composition unsuccessful and included it in the film only because they did not have time to write another one. The picture turned out to be a passing one, but the song was once put on the radio, whose listeners bombarded the studio with letters asking them to repeat it.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

When did men start wearing short haircuts?

Hair care is as old as civilization itself. Even in ancient times, women had combs. Even the most primitive tribes managed to make combs from wood, bone, and metal. What about hair fashion? It is very funny to watch how this fashion has changed and what significance it has had for a person over the centuries.

Wild tribes in all parts of the world developed their own style of hairstyle, which was of great importance to them. In China, they traditionally wore their hair tied in a bun at the top of their head. And when the Manchus conquered this country, the local population was forced to wear pigtails as a sign of slavery. This style took root, became popular in China, and is still adhered to.

Civilization developed, hairstyles became more and more diverse. It was hard to meet two people with the same hairdo. In some countries, hair was worn loosely falling down, in others it became a habit to comb it high on the head. Only relatively recently has it become customary to wear hair long for women and short for men.

Until the Middle Ages, men had long hair and looked after it in the same way, with the same care as women. They curled them, decorated them with ribbons. During the Renaissance, wigs were used to make hair appear longer.

King Henry VIII of England decided to make history something of his own, memorable. He ordered people to wear short hair. But at the same time, he allowed to have long beards and curled mustaches. When James I ascended the throne, people returned to their ancient habit of wearing long hair. In France, Louis XIV had 40 craftsmen who made wigs especially for him. In general, all French men competed in the length of hair and the number of curls.

Later, people were divided into two camps: some were in favor of short beards and long beards, others were in favor of long beards and short hair. Fashion changed back and forth until the 60th century, when short hair remained in vogue, although long hair was popular for a while in the 70s and XNUMXs.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Textbooks should be hard to read 10.03.2011

It is generally believed that for a better understanding of the text being read, it should be large and clear. An experiment conducted at Princeton University (USA) casts doubt on this.

The participants in the experiment (28 people aged 18 to 40) were divided into two groups and given the same text to read, in one case printed in large black print, and in the other in small gray. Then, after a 15-minute rest, when the participants of the experiment were distracted by other tasks, they were asked to answer questions on the text.

It turned out that those who found it more difficult to read gave 86,5% correct answers, while those who read a clear text - only 72,8%.

The experiment was repeated in high school classes in chemistry, physics, English and history - with the same results. It turns out that it is better to print textbooks on gray paper in small, hard-to-read fonts.
