Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko attended a meeting of the organizing committee for the commemoration of People's Artist of Russia and State Duma Deputy Stanislav Govorukhin. The event was chaired by State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin and held at the S.A. Gerasimov All-Russian State University of Cinematography.
The meeting was attended by State Duma deputies, representatives of ministries, public organizations, and People's Artists of Russia.
Vyacheslav Volodin emphasized that the organizing committee included people who were passionate about the work and activities of Stanislav Govorukhin, friends and comrades of the great director, "who well understand his role in society."
"One of the proposals we've already discussed is holding annual 'Govorukhin Readings' at VGIK. We hope that Vladimir Sergeevich Malyshev, as rector, and the Ministry of Culture will support us in this. We, for our part, will do everything we can to ensure these readings are filled with concrete content and help us advance Stanislav Sergeevich Govorukhin's legacy," said the State Duma Speaker.
Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked Vyacheslav Volodin for the opportunity to serve on the organizing committee. The Deputy Prime Minister noted the importance of this committee's work for the country and its youth. He emphasized the need to identify target audiences for conveying messages that should not be distorted, using various formats—films, books, readings—as well as setting specific performance goals.
"President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, by decree, immortalized the memory of Stanislav Govorukhin. A year later, the government established personal scholarships in his name. They are awarded to talented students – future directors and screenwriters. The Russian Ministry of Culture has approved its plan of celebratory events. All of them will be included in one way or another in the consolidated draft plan of key anniversary events prepared by the State Duma. For my part, I would like to propose supplementing it with a number of events and promotions," the Deputy Prime Minister stated.
Proposals include holding international mountaineering competitions in October in the Republic of Ingushetia, timed to coincide with Stanislav Govorukhin's anniversary. The competitions have been included in the unified calendar of physical education events for 2026, jointly by the Ministry of Sport and the Russian Mountaineering Federation.
The Deputy Prime Minister also proposed that the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media and the Ministry of Education screen feature films directed by Stanislav Govorukhin, as well as documentaries dedicated to his life and work, be shown on leading Russian television channels, in schools and colleges as part of discussion clubs, and during "Conversations on Important Things" classes. Rosmolodezh, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs, should hold anniversary events as part of national and regional youth forums.
Dmitry Chernyshenko also proposed organizing educational lectures in the regions dedicated to Stanislav Govorukhin's legacy through the "Knowledge.Lecture Hall" project, including screenings of films about his life and work as part of the "Knowledge.Cinema" project. He also proposed holding a United Action Day event at youth centers in the regions, as well as anniversary-themed events for compatriots abroad. He also proposed that Rossotrudnichestvo, in collaboration with the Cinema Fund, organize a series of screenings of Stanislav Govorukhin's films at Russian missions abroad.
Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova noted that preparations are underway for Stanislav Govorukhin's anniversary, including a memorial evening at Mosfilm, a large-scale exhibition project by the Cinema Museum and the Russian Academy of Arts, a "Movement Vertical" film festival in his memory, and much more.
Vyacheslav Volodin and Dmitry Chernyshenko, along with members of the organizing committee, honored the memory of Stanislav Govorukhin and laid flowers at the memorial plaque unveiled in his honor on the façade of the institute building. It was installed in September 2020 as a symbol of Stanislav Govorukhin's unbreakable connection with VGIK. They also toured the thematic exhibition.
