History
In the 1930s, a two-story building in the Stalinist Empire style was built on the site of the Prove Fillipov estate on the banks of the Klyazma River . At the suggestion of the head of Soviet cinema, Boris Shumyatsky, to create a “cinematic laboratory” near Moscow, in which new scripts will be written, director’s developments will be created, and all this will happen among colleagues and like-minded people - the building on the banks of the Klyazma River was transferred to the filmmakers to organize the House creativity. The house of creativity received the name of the recently deceased writer Maxim Gorky . Before World War II , many famous people worked in the house of creativity, including Arkady Gaidar , Lev Kuleshov . During the war, the building housed an evacuation hospital.
In 1946-1950, German rocket specialists exported from Germany lived here [1] , since 1950, filmmakers again. It is known that it was in this house that the Soviet film director Georgy Danelia wrote the scripts for several of his films: “ I am walking in Moscow ”, “ Do not Cry ”, “ Mimino ”. Emil Braginsky, together with Eldar Ryazanov, wrote scripts for future films such as “ Watch Out for the Car ”, “ Old Robbers ”, “ The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia ”, “ Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!” ”,“ Office Romance ”and“ Garage ”.
A huge number of famous directors, screenwriters, and filmmakers visited the house of creativity. Some stories from their lives in this house are described in the book “Bolshevsky stories” by S. I. Freilich [2] . The famous screenwriter Boris Dobrodeev wrote the book “We Go to Bolshevo”, in which he recalls the life of many cultural workers in this house from the 1960s-1970s. In the book of Paul Finn, “But who are we and where are we from. Unwritten novel ”, much attention is paid to life in the House of Creativity in the early 70s, work on the scripts in this house of Gennady Shpalikov , Alexander Galich and other cinema people. A description of life in the house of creativity is also in the book of Alexander Annensky “Plywood over Paris. Episodes ”, chapter“ Seventies, Moscow and the region, Bolshevo station ”. The description of life in the House of Creativity is in the work of Eduard Poplar "Cocktail" Two Sevens "and other real and unreal stories." Eduard Topol lived in this house (for lack of any housing in the USSR, since he was registered in Baku and worked in Moscow) for almost twelve years:
| Joseph Prut, Leonid Utesov, his daughter Dita Utesova with her husband Albert and Aleksey Kapler were sitting by a wide window overlooking a large neglected park, beyond which the narrow Klyazma river was visible. In the river the morning sun splashed with fish scales. And this same sun slanted through the rafters of light through the high Venetian windows into the semicircular dining room of the Moscow House of Creativity "Bolshevo", which belonged to the Union of Cinematographers. In those days, the Union of Architects, the Union of Writers and the Union of Composers had the same manor houses - for lack of their own summer residences, each member of such a Union could receive a monthly, or even two, inexpensive room and three meals a day in a narrow circle company their colleagues. But still, the Bolshevik house with a park, forty kilometers from Moscow, was House No. 1, because, according to an official legend, Soviet filmmakers received it as a gift from Joseph Stalin even before the war for the first Soviet film-maker Chapaev. And only recently, Boris Dobrodeev, one of the patriarchs of our cinema, in his book “We Go to Bolshevo” said that its true creator was Boris Shumyatsky, who directed Soviet cinema in the 30s. “Shumyatsky ... managed to interest Stalin in the project of creating“ Soviet Hollywood ”... he planned to create a kind of“ laboratory ”near Moscow, where impudent film projects would ripen, new promising scenarios and director's developments would be born - away from the hustle and bustle of apartments. So the House of Creativity appeared in Bolshev. [Later] Shumyatsky somehow annoyed Stalin and was shot in 1938 ... [they tried not to pronounce his name out loud. ” But a good idea cannot be shot, and Shumyatsky’s idea survived its author - it was in this House that the scenarios of the world famous films such as Cranes Flying, Ballad of a Soldier, Clear Sky and other films were born, shots of which now adorn the corridors and foyer of this two-story house and three cottages in the park. In addition to Joseph Prut, Leonid Utesov and Alexei Kapler, the author of the films Striped Flight, Lenin in October, Lenin in 1918, and others, Arkady Raikin, Julius Raizman, Mark Donskoy, Grigory Roshal, and Sergey constantly lived here Yutkevich, Alexander Stolper, Mikhail Schweizer, Evgeny Gabrilovich, Alexander Galich, Grigory Chukhrai, Eldar Ryazanov, Petr Todorovsky, Gennady Shpalikov, Andrei Konchalovsky, Semyon Lungin, Ilya Nusinov, Anatoly Grebnev, Felix Mironer, Valentin Yezhov, Nikita Braginsky, Emil Braginsky, Emil Braginsky, Emil Braginsky, Emil Braginsky, Emil Braginsky Vasily Solovye Boris Dobrodeev Valentin Chernykh, Stanislav Govorukhin, Andrey Smirnov, Vadim Trunin Rustam Ibrahimbeyov Oleg Finn and dozens of former and future celebrities. |
The house of creativity is captured in art. In the famous Soviet cartoon, the Plasticine Crow in the episode when the janitor "walks in the countryside" - the Bolshevo sign is visible behind him.
Heinrich Sapgir wrote a poem dedicated to the house of creativity
LANDSCAPE WITH HOUSE OF CREATIVITY MORE House habitable and lordly-pre-war There were Gorky and Gaidar I remember a photograph: military Shaved to shine - like a billiard ball The old woman famous once Here walks in jeans in a red wig And the screenwriter is mysterious as a date All in suede pondering goes to the river And the sun setting rays It illuminates something ... And at night Because of the curtains in the alley the dead light How the heart beats! .. In the morning at the dining room Crows are sitting as big as owls On the branches crowned my sonnet. |
In 2002, Masha Shakhova shot one of the programs of her series “Summer Residents” on TVS channel about the memories from the life of filmmakers in the Bolshevo Creative House video . In February 2002, in an interview on Echo of Moscow, Shakhova spoke about the filming of the program and about some of the details and features of the life of the Bolshevo Creative House [3] .
Modernity
In post-Soviet times, the building was inherited by the Union of Cinematographers of Russia . In 2001, the reconstruction of the building began, but it was suspended due to lack of funds. In 2013, a public hearing was held on the building restoration plan. According to the planning project, it was supposed to restore the main building. According to the project, it is expected that 40-50 double rooms, a restaurant with a dining room, a billiard room, a cinema hall, a spa complex will be created. In addition, 4 cottages will be built, which will be rented out to cinematographers for work. It was supposed to equip the promenade with the beach [4] . At the 10th Congress of the Union of Cinematographers of Russia in 2017, the board of the union proposed the creation of a children's creativity training center in the central main building, and the construction of a residential complex in the rest of the territory. With the proceeds from the sale of the residential complex, it was proposed to buy the Aniva Park Hotel between the villages of Zhilino and Gorki, Noginsky District, Moscow Region [5]
