Moscow 360-degree cinema
Smartphones have in recent years helped make panoramic photography accessible to the masses. However, Moscow went one step further as a pioneer in employing panoramic technology.
A panoramic cinema has been around since the middle of the last century in the Russian capital. It was built in 1959 by the direct order of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, aming to make a unique circular system - called Soviet Circarama.

1938 VISIT TO SOVIET UNION / SOVIET RUSSIA AMERICAN TOURIST HOME MOVIE KIEV KHARKOV MOSCOW 65084
Filmed by an unknown American tourist, this silent home movie shows a visit to Soviet Russia after twenty years. Presumably this means 20 years after the Revolution, or 1938. The film is notable because it presents a propaganda free look at life in the USSR just a few years before the outbreak of WWII, and during some of the worst purges in Soviet history.
At :28 views of Kiev are seen including the old monastery at 1:01. At 2:08 Sports Day Parade is shown in the city with many floats including one at 2:35 showing Stalin. Men and women march by in athletic uniforms. At 3:48 a peculiar float rides by adorned with images of party officials. At 4:00 the Kiev stadium is shown for the Athletic Day events.
At 5:45 an outdoor concert rehearsal is seen and at 6:30 a farming collective is shown. At 6:53 what might be beehives are seen. At 7:00 private plots of land are shown as well as houses. At 7:30 a mother or babushka poses with an infant. Kids are seen at 7:40, their heads covered with scarves. At 8:10 cattle are shown roaming on the farm. At 8:30 old and new methods of farming are seen with a modern harvester at 8:55. At 9:47 a Pioneer Palace is shown at Kharkov and at 9:55 a Ford bus carrying kids to a Pioneer Camp. The Young Pioneer camp (Russian: Пионерский лагерь) was the name for the vacation or summer camp of Young Pioneers. In the 20th century these camps existed in many socialist countries, particularly in the Soviet Union. The Young Pioneer camps of the Soviet Union were the place of vacation for children from the Young Pioneer organization of the Soviet Union during summer and winter holidays.
At 10:46 a sanatorium or fresh air camp is shown.
At 11:20 a modern hospital at Kharkov is seen including a patient undergoing a procedure and staff.
At 11:53 an illuminated map of Spain, which was at that time undergoing a civil war, is seen on the wall of a building.
At 12:15 Gorki Park, Moscow is shown with its entrance bedecked with an image of Stalin. At 12:30 the entrance to the zoo is seen. At 12:50 a parachute tower and amateur acrobatics are shown. The tower was built in the early 1930s and was the most expensive rides in the park (1 Ruble as opposed to 10 Kopecks to enter the park). It was 35 meters high and the jump was imitated using a special rope system, slowing down the fall. But still, it was thrilling. The tower was used in WWII as a watchtower and eventually removed in the 1950s as it had started to disintegrate.
At 13:30 a high wire type acrobatic act is shown in the park.
At 14:15 the film shows airplanes on display at some kind of special exhibit.
At 14:42 a wild amusement ride is shown with a man flying on a pendulum of some sort. At 15:20 the boulevard along Gorky Park is shown.

Moscow cinema shows 'The Death of Stalin' despite official ban
(25 Jan 2018) A Moscow cinema has shown a satirical film about Soviet leader Josef Stalin despite an official ban.
The Culture Ministry rescinded the permit for screening Scottish writer-director Armando Iannucci's 'The Death of Stalin' just two days before its scheduled premiere.
The decision followed criticism from communists and others that the British-French production made a mockery of Russian history.
Pioner Theatre showed the film on Thursday as planned, defying the ministry's move.
Cinema-goers who watched the film gave mixed reviews.
Dina Alexandrovna, who attended Stalin's funeral in 1953 and was a staunch supporter of the Soviet dictator as a child, said that the film's content did not offend her and that she disagreed with the government's decision to ban the film.
Another woman, who withheld her name, described the film as terrifying… absolutely, not funny, saying that it showed the realities of the time.
The ministry warned the theatre will face sanctions in line with the law.
Screening the film without a licence is punishable by a fine of up to 100,000 Ruble (USD 1,800) and could lead to the theatre's closure in case of a second violation.
Stalin remains widely admired in Russia despite his brutal purges that killed millions.

Police visit Moscow movie theatre showing banned Stalin film
(26 Jan 2018) Police officers have shown up at a Moscow movie theatre that screened a satirical film about Soviet leader Josef Stalin in defiance of an official Russian government ban.
Moscow police didn't immediately declare the purpose of their visit to Pioneer theatre on Friday, but it followed the Russian Culture Ministry's warning that the theatre could face sanctions in line with the law.
The ministry this week rescinded the permit allowing Scottish writer-director Armando Iannucci's The Death of Stalin to be shown in theatres after communists and others criticized the movie as a mockery of Russian history.
I don't think we need to introduce censorship but there should be some kind of personal censorship among journalists and people making films, said Communists Party presidential candidate Pavel Grudinin.
Pioner ignored the decision and has been screening the film since Thursday.
Showing an unlicensed movie is punishable by a fine.

STORYLINE:
In a throw-back to Soviet times, more than a hundred children with red neckerchieves marched in Red Square on Saturday for the first time in ten years.
It's a dream of the Communist party chief, Gennady Zyuganov, to restore the Young Pioneers Marxist youth movement in a country gripped by capitalist fever.
Scores joined the Communist-backed youth movement, and Zyuganov personally tied red scarves around their necks.
The Young Pioneers organisation was established in the 1930s to help raise the younger generation in the spirit of Communist ideas.
It was a necessary first step towards becoming a loyal Communist Youth, or Komsomol, member and a Communist party member later in life.
The movement almost disappeared in the wake of the Soviet collapse as other youth groups emerged, ranging from nationalist to religious to ethnic.
Zyuganov believes membership in pioneer groups will help keep children away from drugs and bad company and restore traditional Soviet values.

Russia: Thousands of young pioneers revive Soviet youth movement
In a ceremony on the Red Square thousands of children joined the Communist youth movement called the Pioneers, on Sunday.
They went on to lay wreaths at the Lenin Mausoleum along the walls of the Kremlin.
The organisation takes children aged between 10 and 15.
The movement is being restarted under the auspices of the Russian Communist Party through the Komsomol which has been the party's youth wing since Soviet times.
The Soviet-era Pioneer movement was founded in 1922 and resembled a combination of the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides, except with Marxist-Leninist instruction.

24 HOURS WITH REMOTE SIBERIAN TRIBE in Buryatia, Russia
We've finally made it to Siberia on the Trans-Siberian Railway!
Our first adventure was arriving in Ulan-Ude, near Lake Baikal, and driving hundreds of kilometres into the wilderness to meet a remote Siberian tribe in Buryatia, Russia.
Buryatia is one of Russia's most unique republics. It has a mongol heritage, and the people who live here are descendants of the Golden Horde. The landscape is called The Steppe, a vast sweeping grassland that covers central Asia. Tribes who live here have traditionally been nomadic, making small camps like the one we stay in. This is our documentary of 24 hours with this tribe.
This experience put us outside our comfort zones. We ate some interesting Russian food like raw sheep liver, rode horses, wrestled, and had the time of our lives. While this experience isn't for everyone, it's definitely for me. This was one of my favourite days on the Trans-Siberian Railway. The people we met in this small village made it especially memorable. You can tell by their faces, that they are kind and generous. We felt right at home in this remote part of Russia.
NOTICE: I had to censor and remove a lot of the content in this video.

STREETS OF MOSCOW
Illuminated by the beautiful lights of Moscow at night, a crew of international skateboarders explored the skateable architecture in the Russian mother city. Pushing from dawn til dusk, the plight of bad weather only helped to capture some stunning clips; the street lights magnifying the allure of the urban landscape at night.
Chile’s skateboarding pioneer Stavros Razis was in town to participate in the World Cup, with fellow Monster Energy teammates: Argentinian star Dario Mattarollo, South African hero Khule Ngubane and local Russian prodigy Egor Kaldikov. The weekend ended up with a bronze medal for Dario, but the most fun started when they broke out onto the city streets.

Elektro Moskva Official Trailer (2014) - Russian Music Revolution Documentary HD
Elektro Moskva is an essayistic documentary about the Soviet electronic age and its legacy. The story begins with the inventor of the world's first electronic instrument, Leon Theremin, unveiling the KGB's huge pile of fascinating devices, some of which were musical. They all came into existence as a by-product of a rampant defense industry. Nowadays, those aged and abandoned 'musical coffins', as solidly made as a Kalashnikov, are being recycled and reinterpreted by the post-Soviet generations of musicians, sound collectors and circuit benders. The story of the Soviet synthesizers as an allegory to the everyday life under the Soviet system: nothing works, but you have to make the best out of it. An electronic fairy tale about the inventive spirit of the free mind inside the iron curtain- and beyond.

Russians criticize heavily edited version of Elton John film
(2 Jun 2019) RUSSIANS CRITICIZE HEAVILY EDITED VERSION OF ELTON JOHN FILM
Russian gay rights activists and cultural figures are criticizing the local distributor of a new movie about Elton John for cutting scenes in it depicting homosexual activity and drug use.
The deletions became known last week after a Moscow screening of the film Rocketman.
The Moscow movie theater Pioner, noted for its adventurous programming, said it would ask for an original cut of the movie with Russian subtitles. But the theater said Sunday it had not received a response from the distributor.
Russian news agencies reported that the distribution company said the scenes were cut to conform with Russian law but that the Ministry of Culture said it was not involved in the decision.
In this way, the Russian distributor indirectly supports homophobia, the Russian LGBT Network said in a Facebook statement. We urge people not to support such a policy and not to go see the Russian version of the film.
Although homosexuality is not criminalized in Russia, animosity toward gays remains strong. In 2013, the country passed a law banning so-called propaganda supporting non-traditional sexuality from being made available to minors.
Trailers for the Russian version of Rocketman showed it carrying a rating restricting it to viewers 18 years or older.
So, one day we woke up in Saudi Arabia, film critic Anton Dolin said on Facebook, criticizing the cuts. He said the most repellent aspect of the cuts was the removal of the statement at the end of the movie that John eventually found the love of his life and has raised children with the man he married in 2014.
Nonetheless, Dolin said, the theme of the hero's homosexuality is still central in the film.
Ksenia Sobchak, a liberal TV star who ran for president in 2016, said purging all homosexual content from a film about the singer would make it meaningless.
A joint statement from John and the filmmakers said that the local distributor has edited out certain scenes, denying the audience the opportunity to see the film as it was intended, is a sad reflection of the divided world we still live in and how it can still be so cruelly unaccepting of the love between two people.
John has previously criticized Russia's law on gay propaganda and comments by President Vladimir Putin that suggested gay people prey on children.
In 2015, phone pranksters tricked John into believing that he was talking to Putin about the issue. Putin actually later called the musician and said he would be willing to meet to discuss the matter, but no meeting has taken place.

Russia’s Revolutionary Art School: The Moscow Vkhutemas
In the wake of October 1917 and the setting up of the Department of Fine Arts within the Commissariat for Enlightenment, in early 1918, avant-garde artists took over running artistic affairs on behalf of the new regime. Among their various responsibilities was art education, which they proceeded to revolutionize. The Imperial Academy was abolished along with the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture and the Stroganov School of Applied Arts. In their place, the State Free Art Studios (or Svomas) were set up—which accepted all students, irrespective of their previous educational achievements, and where students could train with whomever they wished. By 1920, this rather chaotic system was held to be untenable, and the Moscow Vkhutemas, or to give it its full title the Higher State Artistic and Technical Workshops (Vysshie gosudarstvennye khudozhestvenno-teknicheskie masterskie), was established in December that year “to prepare highly qualified master artists for industry, as well as instructors and directors of professional and technical education.” The new school became an important center of experimentation and radical innovation in art education during the 1920s, formulating the modern concept of design and developing innovative programs for training artists and designers. This talk will look at some of these new ideas and approaches, which embraced the fine arts as well as practical designs for a revolutionary new world.
