A panorama by the Russian artist of French origin Franz Roubaud is the central exhibit of the panorama museum. The Battle of BorodinoThe 115-by-15-meter canvas is a faithful reconstruction of a tense moment during the Battle of Borodino. It was created for the 100th anniversary of the Patriotic War of 1812. Roubaud and his military historian consultants repeatedly visited the Borodino field, studying the terrain and troop dispositions. There is a "Roubaud point" on the field, from which he constructed the composition.

The artist worked for 11 months in a studio in Munich. Then, the canvas, along with the subject plan, was placed on a platform and shipped to Russia by rail. A special wooden pavilion was built for it in Moscow on Chistye Prudy. The masterpiece's fate was a difficult one: after the Revolution, it was rolled back onto the platform, and for many years the panorama was stored in unsuitable locations, even outdoors. In 1962, the "Battle of Borodino" Panorama Museum finally opened. The cylindrical building was built specifically to house the gigantic exhibit.

Total immersion and deliberate deviation from the truth

The canvas and the subject matter are the main tools of immersion: the viewer stands on the observation deck and sees how the three-dimensional reality of the field transitions onto the painted canvas.

Plywood, fabric, plaster, and even soil—all to create a sense of presence. "Many visitors say it really does smell like earth, like a real field," notes Victoria Pavlenko, Deputy Director of Development at the Battle of Borodino Panorama Museum.

Roubaud and the creators of the panorama deviated from reality in only one detail: the battlefield is clearly visible. In reality, on September 7, 1812, the battle was so fierce that the artillery fired nonstop and the entire field was shrouded in smoke. "…from a mysterious cloud of smoke that obscured the entire terrain ahead, cannonballs and slowly whistling grenades flew incessantly with a hissing, rapid whistle," is how Leo Tolstoy describes the Battle of Borodino in his novel War and Peace. If Roubaud hadn't deviated from the truth, we would have seen nothing but a dense smoke screen.

"It was around 10:30 a.m., when the French were advancing on the village of Semenovskoye. It was a tragic moment for the Russian army—literally an hour earlier, Pyotr Bagration had been mortally wounded, and a new left flank commander, Dmitry Dokhturov, had arrived to take his place. This was the moment of the Russian Guard's greatest involvement in the battle," explains Victoria Pavlenko.

A reflective umbrella is mounted above the observation deck, behind which are fluorescent lamps and reflective screens. The diffused light evenly illuminates the canvas, creating the impression of the three-dimensional space of the Borodino field.

The 14-hour Battle of Borodino is considered the bloodiest single-day battle of the 19th century. No one emerged victorious. But, as Leo Tolstoy wrote, the Russian victory was moral, and a direct consequence of the Battle of Borodino was Napoleon's unjustified flight from Moscow.

Not just a panorama

The museum also houses approximately 400 other exhibits. Among them is a grenadier cap from the Pavlovsky Grenadier Regiment, pierced by a bullet or shrapnel. Victoria Pavlenko explains: "For the valor of the Pavlovsky Regiment's soldiers, Alexander I ordered that this particular type of headgear—the grenadier cap—be preserved for them in perpetuity."

The museum's collection continues to grow. A significant new exhibit recently arrived: a portrait of Yevgeny Petrovich Nazimov by artist Nikolai Melnikov. "It was a gift from Mikhail Karisalov, a renowned collector and philanthropist. Nazimov fought in all the battles against Napoleon, beginning with Austerlitz," says Victoria Pavlenko.

Nazimov lost 16 horses to the enemy, but he survived. The brave hussar was even awarded two thousand rubles from the treasury—"as compensation for his loss and in recognition of his distinguished service."

Two miles from Moscow: a military council in Fili

Near the museum is a memorial stone, "Two Miles from Moscow," and the restored hut of peasant Mikhail Frolov, where the very same council of war took place, at which Kutuzov made the difficult and correct decision to abandon Moscow without a fight after the Battle of Borodino. The hut hosts master classes andexcursionsAnd in the museum, you can see a copy of the painting "Military Council at Fili in 1812" by Alexei Kivshenko.

One of the halls features a reconstruction of a partisan camp. Here, the story told by Denis Davydov comes to life. "One day, a hungry, ragged 15-year-old French drummer named Vincent Bode wandered into their camp near Maloyaroslavets," continues Victoria Pavlenko. The boy traveled with Davydov's unit to Paris. There, the now-mature youth was returned to his parents.

Chessboard of Empires: Three Games with Napoleon

Exhibition "Mate in three moves in a difficult game" offers a look at the military confrontation between Russia and France in the early 19th century through the metaphor of chess. The exhibition builds a narrative around three key battles: Austerlitz (1805), Borodino (1812), and Leipzig (1813). These are three games in a grand game, in which each side learned from its mistakes.

Russia's first game, lost, was a harsh lesson. A statement by Napoleon, quoted by Victoria Pavlenko, illustrates his attitude toward that confrontation: "In a conversation with Prince Repnin-Volkonsky, who, incidentally, was one of the prototypes for Andrei Bolkonsky in War and Peace, Napoleon expressed the idea that Alexander I was bound to lose, because for him, this battle was the first, and for Napoleon, the fortieth."

This is the very battle in which Tolstoy's hero, Prince Bolkonsky, was wounded. Under the "sky of Austerlitz" (the expression has become a byword), he reassesses life's values: "…Yes! Everything is empty, everything is a deception, except this endless sky…" The army's leadership also had to rethink much after this battle.

Fakes of the 19th century

Fake news is not a modern invention. After the defeat at Austerlitz, information about the mass deaths of retreating Russian troops was widely circulated. This moment is depicted in a "reliable" 19th-century French engraving, "The Battle of Austerlitz." But this is a myth, started by Napoleon himself. It was claimed that 20,000 people drowned. "There were no lakes on the field of the Battle of Austerlitz. There were two ponds, Meninsky and Zhatchansky. The Russian troops retreated between the two ponds, and there was absolutely no reason for them to rush en masse onto the thin ice of the ponds," argues Victoria Pavlenko.

After the battle, the ponds were drained. No people were found at the bottom of the Meninskoye. General Suchet's report states that "138 horse corpses and three human bodies" were found at the bottom of the Zhatchanskoye—clearly not the 20,000 claimed.

Chess game between Napoleon, Alexander I and Kutuzov

The exhibition features a memorable chess set. These are modern pieces (2012), but captivating in their detail. On the board are Alexander I, Napoleon, Kutuzov, Davout, and Murat. This is a reconstruction of a game devised by the Russian chess master Alexander Petrov in 1823. As a child, he witnessed the war.

"The game is called 'Napoleon's Flight from Moscow to Paris,' where the kings are Napoleon and Alexander I. Checkmate is achieved in 14 moves," explains Victoria Pavlenko.

Borodino and Leipzig: from draw to victory

The next set—Borodino—is presented as a turning point. Of particular interest are the engravings by the German artist Albrecht Adam, who accompanied the 4th Corps under the command of Napoleon's stepson, Eugène de Beauharnais. Three engravings depict three days of Napoleon's campaign: the day before, the day of the Battle of Borodino, and immediately after—the alarm, the battle, and the devastation.

The Battle of Leipzig went down in history as the Battle of the Nations, as coalitions fought on both sides. It was a final victory, from which the Napoleonic Empire never recovered.

The exhibition features an engraving by an unknown artist depicting a small scene: Alexander I during the Battle of Leipzig. "The engraving is called 'Alexander I Praying During the Battle of the Nations at Leipzig in 1813.' It is known that he was near the village of Gross, where the fighting took place on the first day. He prayed for a successful outcome for the united army," concludes Victoria Pavlenko.

October 18 at the Panorama Museum The Battle of Borodino The building on Kutuzovsky Prospekt celebrates its 63rd anniversary. On this day, tours will be held at the panorama's observation deck, which is usually off-limits to visitors, and a festive program is planned.

You can still get to one more exhibition before the end of October – Waterloo: The Last Battle.

There's a running joke at the museum that Muscovites come here at least three times in their lives: as children, then with their children and grandchildren. There's a fair amount of truth to this joke—the museum appeals to a variety of people, and at every age, they rethink the history of the decisive battles in a new way.

Costume-making workshops, virtual production stages, and the largest on-location green screen in Europe. Today, the Russian capital can rightfully be called a city of cinema. Not only are films shot here, but a world-class film cluster is also being developed. As part of the "Moscow – City of Cinema" project, the capital is home to the Moskino Film Factory, the Moskino Film Commission and Film Platform, and the largest filming spaces— cinema park "Moskino" AndGorky Film Studio, which this year celebrates its 110th anniversary and is experiencing a rebirth.

The film studio is undergoing a major modernization. This will more than double its space, and equip the spaces with state-of-the-art technology. This fall, a major renovation of the multifunctional cinema hall and construction of a production building were completed at the studio's historic site on 8 Sergei Eisenstein Street.costume and props center.

We explain how the film studio blends memories of the past with modern technology, where the sewing workshop will be located, and what ancient artifact will grace the historic site.

More than a hundred years on screen

The Gorky Film Studio, founded in 1915, is one of the oldest in Russia and the oldest in Moscow. Its collection includes hundreds of iconic films, including "Officers," "Seventeen Moments of Spring," "Guest from the Future," and many others. It also produced the first sound, color, musical, and 3D films in the history of Russian cinema.

The studio's first sound feature film, "Road to Life," was made in 1931, directed by Nikolai Ekk. Five years later, he also made the first Russian full-length color film at the studio. It had two titles: "Grunya Kornakova" and "Solovey-Solovushko." And in 1940, the first Russian stereoscopic film, "Land of Youth," was made—a precursor to modern 3D cinema. Director Alexander Rou also worked at the studio, thanks to whom a new genre of Russian cinema—the fairy tale film—emerged there. He directed "Morozko," "The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors," "Varvara the Beauty with a Long Braid," and others. Alexey Tremasov, film scholar and curator of the Gorky Film Studio collection, is also a film scholar.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the studio produced eight to 15 films per year, and in the 1970s and 1980s, 15 to 25. However, in the 1990s, the studio fell into decline and released almost nothing for a long time. From 2014 to 2019, its collection grew by only a dozen projects. At the end of 2023, the film studio was transferred to the City of Moscow, and in January 2024, a large-scale modernization began. The main work on the historic site on Sergei Eisenstein Street has already been completed, and soon true cinematic magic will reign in one of the new sound stages.

From Sergei Eisenstein Street, we pass through the main building of the film studio into the courtyard, where a large six-story structure awaits. This is a new production complex. It houses a large soundstage where films, series, and television shows will be filmed. Under the high ceiling, you can see iron rods, platforms, and cables for hoisting sets, as well as mechanized trusses—bridge-like metal structures. Film crews can use these to position the necessary lighting. The soundstage floor, ceiling, and walls are painted black. This will reduce reflections and glare during filming.

This year, six feature films are being filmed, including the sports comedy "The Big Wave" and the family films "The Newest Adventures of Petrov and Vasechkin in the Caucasus Mountains" and "The Adventures of the Yellow Suitcase," as well as "Diva" and "Moscow Bride Box Office." And in November, the pre-New Year blockbuster "Letter to Santa Claus" will be released. Natalia Oreiro will play the lead role.

Show lights, disappearing chairs and an artifact from the past

Thanks to the modernization of the Gorky Film Studio, another high-tech space has been added: the multifunctional Gorky Hall, featuring large screens and rows of seats. It is located in a historic building on the site of a former large-screen theater built in the 1970s and demolished in the early 2000s. The new space will accommodate up to 300 patrons. Gorky Hall will be one of the most high-tech movie theaters in Moscow, boasting a unique high-definition widescreen, staged lighting systems, immersive spatial sound, and simultaneous translation.

In addition to film screenings, the hall is planned to host other events. For this purpose, it has a unique feature: it's transformable. A telescopic stand has been installed in the stalls, allowing the seats to fold and slide together. Technicians activate the system with the press of a button, and the auditorium literally disappears, making Gorky Hall even more spacious. On September 25, the hall will host its first event—the opening ceremony of the 2nd Moscow International Youth Film Festival "Vysoko."

Guests will also be surprised by the hall's foyer, which features an unusual photo zone with an augmented reality effect and a cinema bar.

A true film studio treasure will also take pride of place in the historic building: a bas-relief depicting Maxim Gorky, created over 65 years ago. This artifact was discovered in the prop collection this summer.

Thanks to modernization, a new building was erected on the film studio grounds, which will house a sewing workshop and house the entire collection of the costume and props department—one of the oldest and largest in the country. While preparing for the move, we noticed a bas-relief among the film props. It was made of papier-mâché, a technique used in the 1950s. Having determined the approximate year of its creation, we began searching for its artist: we dug through archives and studied newspaper articles. In one article in the then-published newspaper Burevestnik, we discovered that the bas-relief was created for the future brand (logo) of the film studio. Its author turned out to be Valentin Shikharev, now 94, Honored Artist of Russia, who worked at the studio in the 1950s and 1960s. Natalya Simonova, head of the costume and props department at the Gorky Film Studio.

As the artist himself notes, the bas-relief was inspired by the works of Soviet monumental sculptor Ivan Shadr. It also contains references to abstraction in the style of Alexandra Exter, Aristarkh Lentulov, and the Vesnin brothers. Despite its beauty and realism, the stamp featuring Gorky did not catch on. Only a few films were published with it. However, the bas-relief's image remained for a long time on letterheads, letters, tickets, and film studio seals.

Loyalty to tradition and the development of new generations of masters

The Costume and Props Complex also houses other treasures. We pass through a three-story building with large windows. This is where the complex's sewing workshop and its entire collection—over 200,000 items, from clothing to furniture—will soon move. The premises will be equipped with modern sewing machines, overlockers, buttonhole machines, steam mannequins, and much more. There will also be spacious storage areas and fitting rooms.

While the spaces are being filled with the necessary paraphernalia, on the building's first floor, visitors are greeted by mannequins in voluminous gowns and formal frock coats. These aren't just outfits, but true artifacts from the past. Two black lace dresses with long sleeves, for example, are part of an antique collection. They were worn by noblewomen in the distant past. The dresses have been preserved and were acquired by the film studio as samples for costumes for the film. Another dress features a crinoline and is powder-colored. It was sewn by the studio's artisans as a replica of a mid-19th-century dress. It can be seen in the film "The Trip to Wiesbaden" (1989).

The film studio's sewing workshop not only creates costumes but also helps young artisans gain new experience. For example, under the guidance of costume and props experts, fourth-year student Alsu Mukhametzhanova sewed her first film-specific clothing. First Moscow educational complex.

I'm studying "Garment Design, Modeling, and Technology," and last semester I completed an internship at the studio. I was assigned to create dresses in the style of the 1950s. I designed and sewed two dresses, and another was already cut out, which I finished sewing. To accurately recreate the era, I studied magazines from that era and drew inspiration from images. I had expert assistance at every stage of the sewing process. Thanks to this, everything worked out. Alsu Mukhametzhanova, fourth-year student at the First Moscow Educational Complex

The film studio also trains future directors, screenwriters, camera operators, editors, and actors. A whole team works here for this purpose. film campusIn its offices and halls, children aged 10 to 17 are taught the basics of filmmaking. A green screen, a recording studio, an acting class, and even dressing rooms are available to the teenagers.

An overpass will be built in the south of the capital. It will become part of an additional section of the Moscow High-Speed Diameter (MSD). This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction. Vladimir Efimov.

"An overpass over 300 meters long will be built as part of the construction and reconstruction of Kaspiyskaya Street on the main line of the Moscow High-Speed Diameter, at the intersection with Bakinskaya Street. Pre-assembly of the future overpass's superstructure is currently underway at the construction site. Reinforced concrete supports have already been installed. Once the preparatory work is complete, the span will begin to be pushed over the tracks of the Second Moscow Central Diameter," noted Vladimir Efimov.

Currently, 150 specialists are working on the new transport interchange. Once completed, a new route will open on the southern part of the Moscow High-Speed Diameter, from Kashirskoye Highway to the Paveletsky Line of the Moscow Railway.

"At the same time, several additional overpasses are being built on this section of the Moscow Highway, and a tunnel is being constructed under Bakinskaya Street, which is more than a third complete. The main work is scheduled for completion next year," added the head of the Moscow Department of Transport and Engineering Infrastructure Construction.

Vasily Desyatkov.

The new interchange will not only improve the efficiency of the Moscow Highway in the south but also enhance accessibility to five districts. It will also provide drivers with convenient access to the M-4 Don Highway and help reduce excess travel time on the highway by straightening a section of the road.

Mikhail Grigoryev, the general director of the contractor, announced that the superstructure will be slid onto the supports during the railway's maintenance windows. This is one of the most critical stages of the overpass's construction.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin announced the start of construction additional section of the MSD.

Discounts on many types of fish and seafood, as well as festive tastings, await visitors to the fish market. Moscow is on the wave in Mitino from September 25th to 28th. Organizers have prepared a special event for the venue's birthday—it opened here exactly a year ago and became the second such market and a continuation of the project in Kosino-Ukhtomsky.

A year ago

The location of the second market was deliberate: the Mitino district is located far from Kosino-Ukhtomsky, where the first fish market operated. This made the project convenient for residents of various parts of the capital and for visitors from the Moscow region. Its proximity to the Moscow Ring Road and several major highways also creates a comfortable environment for those who frequently travel out of town or transit through Moscow.

The design was based on the experience of the first location. The new market is single-story, with the most popular departments—"Caviar," "Smoked Delicacies," and "Seledochka"—located near the entrance. The several thousand square meters of the site are equipped with retail stalls, storage areas with different temperatures, a food court, a masterclass studio, and a laboratory for product quality testing.

Discounts and tastings during the holiday

For its first anniversary, the "Moscow on the Wave" market in Mitino has prepared some special surprises. From September 25th to 28th, you can buy a wide variety of fish and seafood at a 10% discount. Items include canned and prepared foods, Atlantic salmon steaks, green mussels, Chinook salmon, Commander squid, Kamchatka crab, and scallops. And on September 27th and 28th, guests can participate in festive tastings of northern fish, stroganina, sugudai, and chebureki filled with tender cod.

A year of fruitful work

Every week, the market in Mitino hosts children's master classes. Under the guidance of experienced chefs, young cooks prepare simple fish dishes that are easy to recreate at home. Over the course of a year, approximately 12,000 children attended these events. Dishes prepared include vinaigrette with anchovies and arugula, grilled squid, shrimp with watermelon, and mushroom stew with pike perch.

The market quickly gained popularity and became a place for family leisure and friendly gatherings. Live music is performed on the stage on Friday and weekend evenings.

Additionally, the free "Cook on the Spot" service has become popular: upon customer request, chefs can fry or bake freshly purchased fish and seafood, as well as help properly fillet a sea urchin or open oysters.

One of the main reasons for the project's success is its wide selection, including 600 high-quality fish and seafood items from Russia's key fishing regions. During the market's first year in Mitino, Murmansk shrimp, live carp, and pink salmon caviar became top sellers.

In addition to fish and seafood delicacies, guests can purchase accompanying products—for example, an unusual "live" pasta that pairs perfectly with shrimp, trout, and other seafood. Fresh pasta cooks faster than regular pasta and has a richer flavor. A wide selection of spices for various seafood dishes is also available on the shelves.

Social initiatives and support

The market, suppliers, and customers also participate in various social initiatives. For example, suppliers regularly help residents of border areas, military personnel on the front lines, and those undergoing treatment in hospitals. The "Moscow – on the Wave" market itself offers participants in the Special Military Operation (SVO) a permanent 10 percent discount on all products, and organizes cooking master classes for the children of military personnel.

Visitors to the site actively participated in a charity drive to purchase canned goods for donations to the front. Customers have already sent about a thousand cans of sprat, kilka, mackerel, herring, cod liver, and cod roe to the soldiers.

The results of the site's first year of operation demonstrated that a highly specialized market could become a popular destination for city residents, combining trade, educational initiatives, and a social mission. During this time, the market has provided Muscovites and visitors to the capital with high-quality seafood from across the country and fostered a culture of conscious consumption through tastings, master classes, and educational events.

Combining culinary diversity with a socially significant mission, it has become an important element of the city's infrastructure. It combines support for domestic producers, educational outreach, and a unique atmosphere that makes buying fish and seafood a pleasant and healthy habit. Moscow has retained its status as a port, but no longer at the seven, but at 13 seas and three oceans that border Russia.
