One thing can be said about the Palace of Pioneers on Sparrow Hills: it is the best place Moscow, and at the same time - the place is not at all Moscow. It is not clear how it exists in this city, it is not clear how it exists at this time. The asymmetric green area is obliquely dissected by a regular grid of asphalt paths. On one side is a fifty-meter stainless steel flagpole. On the other hand, a light, elongated building with an observatory dome and a visor on disappearing columns. In the center - like a piece of glass of a typical Soviet cinema. There are modernist panels on the facades, and everything is very literal: pioneers, bonfires, pipes, Lenin - where without him. Behind the buildings connected in one complex, ash and walnut trees grow. It's quiet, there are no cars, schoolchildren are walking along the paths - even late autumn 2014, the hopeful 1960s reign here.
The Palace of Pioneers began to be built immediately after the VI World Festival of Youth and Students in 1957, and opened on June 1, 1962 - six months remained before the publication of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, and an eternity before tanks in Prague. At the parade of pioneers, the red ribbon of the new building was cut by Nikita Khrushchev himself. The Palace of Pioneers is the physical embodiment of the thaw and all the best that was in the Soviet Union. The first post-war generation grew up in the country, which did not have to fight for its existence. And to meet their creative needs, for the first time in Soviet history a place of eternal celebration was created for children.
Palace of Pioneers
on Sparrow Hills
A masterpiece of Soviet modernism, a team of authors was awarded the State Prize of the RSFSR
in Architecture 1967
Architects: Igor Pokrovsky (supervisor), Felix Novikov, Viktor Egerev, Vladimir Kubasov, Boris Paluy, Mikhail Khazhakyan, Yuri Ionov (engineer)
Years of creation: 1958–1962
Complex area: 48 ha
Number of students: 15,500 schoolchildren
The construction of the complex became an event in the architectural life of the USSR: several concert and theater halls, swimming pools, a winter garden, an observatory and exhibition spaces were combined in one long building. The competition was won by young and unknown architects under the leadership of Igor Alexandrovich Pokrovsky (the future author of the development of Zelenograd) - everyone in the team of seven people was not even 35 years old. The project became their ticket to life: when the State Prize of the RSFSR in the field of architecture was established in 1967, it was the creators of the Palace of Pioneers who were the first to receive it.
The solution of the Pokrovsky team was radically different from everything that had happened before: these are very light, elegant buildings that fit well into the natural environment, united by a common laconic and clear style - the complete opposite of the excessive late Stalinist neoclassicism. Despite the half-century anniversary and the need for repairs, they still look fresh, modern and diverse. True, the architects did not manage to bring everything they had planned to the end: already in 1963, funding for the continuation of construction was curtailed.
The Palace of Pioneers on the Sparrow Hills is not limited to just one square or a modernist ensemble made with undeniable taste. It is much larger than its components, and, getting into this space, you can feel a touch of the sacred. Architecture is not only bricks, glass and reinforced concrete. Architecture always expresses the ideology and mood of society: by the difference between the spacious Novy Arbat and the bulky Akademik Sakharov Avenue, it is easy to imagine the difference between the beginning and the end of the Brezhnev era. The Palace of Pioneers is a living utopia from the time when people believed that they would soon subdue thermonuclear fusion, create a just society and fly to distant planets on a shiny rocket. And therein lies its paradox.
This complex lives in a parallel reality - by the end of the 20th century, humanity experienced a crisis of faith in progress. No one is interested in a bright future anymore: why explore real space, if you can in in social networks discuss space adventures in Christopher Nolan's new film? And even more - the hope that things will get better in the future has been replaced by a fear of change and a desire to fence off the future, forget about its existence and return to the past, or at least leave everything as it is. But, being on Sparrow Hills, you do not feel this trouble: progress is great, and the future cannot but be beautiful. Because if it is not beautiful, then why live at all?
On the square near the Palace of Pioneers, it is easy to believe that everything will be fine. If only for this reason, in the late autumn of 2014 this is the best place in Moscow.

15.06.2017Today we are publishing one of the interviews taken as part of the special project "". Victoria Vdovina, teacher of the Fine Arts GBOU "Vorobyovy Gory", a member of the trade union "Teacher", spoke about the problems at her workplace.
"I work at the Vorobyovy Gory GBPOU. It used to be the Palace of Pioneers federal significance- the one on the Lenin Hills. Now several institutions have been merged into one large organization under this name, and now the same story is happening as with the associations of schools in educational complexes- The quality of education is declining.
Abbreviations
I'll tell you about the first scheme that happened in 2014 - it happened, apparently, everywhere. First, they began to cut the positions of the so-called middle level: heads of studios, laboratory assistants, teachers-organizers, methodologists. These were very important specialists who did everything on their own. job descriptions and received a salary under an employment contract: it was very difficult to violate their rights. But gradually these rates were reduced.
They reduced them in a special way: they forced them to sign a “transitional” paper, promising that all previous duties would remain in the form of a functional. This functionality, therefore, is somehow described and paid for. And you yourself understand that the position of a teacher is something that is protected by labor legislation, and the functionality is the will of the leadership, it can always be removed. What happened almost six months later big amount employees. Thus, all objectionable people were either fired or cut according to their salaries.
Our teachers have become, you know, such unidentified flying objects - now everyone flies on their own. We have neither a team, nor a common goal, nor communication around some artistic task.
Reorganization and salary cuts
Our situation has deteriorated not only because of the reduction of mid-level specialists. We were given template papers to sign: “Please transfer me to the department of landscape studies.” Why do we artists have to sign this? The answer is: "this is a formal reorganization." At the same time, we found out that there is not a single group on landscape studies in this department ... But there is a chief there, and, apparently, he needs help to sit further in his chair.
This boss is not at all interested in art education. He does not need anything at all: neither the implementation of the program, nor trips, nor plein air. Thus, by moving to a department that has nothing to do with us, we simply lowered our qualifications. We are no longer artists, but "employees of the landscape department." At the same time, almost all teachers signed this - no one is guided by their labor rights.
Those who did not transfer began to be pressed. Already in the summer, people were told: “But you don’t work for us anymore, you didn’t make a translation, but your department doesn’t exist.” When was the day open doors, we were not even given tables, and the children were not enrolled with us until December, although classes were conducted. The leader came and said: “These teachers do not work for us, we do not know them, they are from the street.” And all this with the parents. Some of the newcomers had to catch up, explain what was happening.
The “transfer” of artists to landscape studies ended with our salary becoming eighteen thousand, and the rest who agreed - twenty-five. This is the starting rate. It is believed that everything else on top is a premium for " Good work". There are no criteria. And I would very much like to. We have long forgotten that there are any prizes. Then we sued, and the unpaid money was returned to us. Now we all get twenty-five.
Salaries are not transparent. The authorities somehow even managed to say that the system by which it is calculated is “secret information”.
There is a demand, there is no money
Art education is very popular, we have huge sets. And we cannot agree with our management that we need an additional teacher, additional hours. Every year there is a struggle: the administration overloads the groups so much that the quality of our education is deteriorating. If the standard is from eight to twelve children, then I have twenty-five, and if up to twenty, then I have fifty children who want to be. We report all this, write memos, say that we need to make changes to the curriculum and hire a new teacher. But even for the vacancy of an employee on the decree, they, violating all laws, do not give us a person.
For absent employees for the same salary, we fulfill an additional norm. And not only “for children”, but also for the functionality that was removed.
There are three levels of programs: introductory, basic, advanced. Basic and advanced must be confirmed. At the same time, the basic program requires at least, it seems, fifty percent of the participants in various competitions and at least thirty percent of the winners. Advanced means eighty percent of the participants and half of the winners. This was decided by the Department of Education, and we are obliged to comply with the order. But such an order is contrary to all logic - there are not even so many competitions in Moscow! Where should the teacher send the children? And where to look for these contests, if the administration does not offer anything at all?
A list of competitions was sent down from the department, but they could be counted on the fingers, and we took part in all of them, we even made an exhibition project. Both we, the children and parents are satisfied with the results: when we don’t win somewhere, we will definitely take a laureate diploma. But this still cannot cover the norms if each teacher has seven groups, like mine. And the percentage of winners is calculated for each group separately, and not for all students.
Moreover, we must engage simply, without anything. We don't have plaster casts, we don't have any materials, and the administration can't even formalize documents for plein air or departure. For example, we came to draw in the Botanical Garden and found ourselves at closed doors, although the lesson was planned.
We protect both our rights and the rights of students. First of all, we want the number of children in the group to be adequate, so that the room is equipped (ours does not even have blinds). But money is not allocated at all. And this is the budget. We are openly told that there is no funding for anything.
“If you want to make money, there are a lot of great places where you can do it faster and better” ©
There is an opinion that a teacher is such a slave. The administration has various reasons for removing a disobedient slave. We were told that in our center there was always only technical education(it is called the House of Technical Creativity), so we will remove the artists from here. This is even contrary to the decree that within walking distance in each area should be different types additional education(We no longer have art studios). Parents, thanks to them, defended the building together with us.
The directors were then removed for exceeding their authority. At the same time, he settled down perfectly in the neighboring building - with an even better salary and in a separate office.
At the same time, absolutely wonderful shots left us. Everyone, including the "rebels", was either reduced or had their salaries terribly delayed. People simply quit "of their own free will", because there was nothing to support their families. For example, Eduard Shalvovich Sanadze, a musician, left. At the same time, in addition to the budget ones, he also led paid groups, but even for them he was not paid a salary.
Until we went through all this school of survival, we always followed the verbal orders of our superiors. Moreover, they sounded, for example, like this: "We will not give you more hours." And that's it - they just don't give you anything, and you don't complain anywhere. Or, let's say, as I have: "we are cutting your position as head of the studio." On what basis? Reorganization? It's also unclear.
When the prosecutor's office took up this issue, the authorities were fined, and, apparently, ordered to return the position. But they didn’t return me to the post of manager, but made me the head of the project, which was also a hoax - the project was then closed without explanation.
Children in our country are often not recorded on the budget or they resist it in every possible way. They reject documents, they say that there are no places ... They acted horribly with physics, for which there were a lot of applicants: the teacher was persecuted and fired (or, rather, asked to quit) because there were too many children in his budget group. He was an excellent teacher, and students who, for example, were supposed to study two hours later, came earlier to sit in an extra lesson.
After preschool education made it paid, we were told that now all programs from the age of nine (some even from ten) will also be extra-budgetary, and they need to be rewritten. Then many of us left again - they were ashamed to tell those children who studied with them for free that tomorrow they would have to pay. And this is a large enough amount for large families or parents of children with handicapped. There are absolutely no perks.
All teachers, using the oral orders of their leaders, of course, rewrote and approved the new program. And we rested: at that time we were already cooperating with the trade union "Teacher", writing articles in the media ... I said that I would not rewrite anything, because I did not see the document that I should do it. “No, this is not written, this is the decision of some methodological council of the department ...”. I say: whatever you like, just let me see, and I will immediately obey.
Of course they didn't provide anything. As a result, paper was released from the department: from the age of seven - yes! - can be free. Even from six, if the child is already at school. And all of Moscow received free school additional education.
tidbit
This summer, documents on the verification of Vorobyovy Gory and information about the theft of fifty-two million by our leader (we are talking about Andrei Shashkov, the former director of the institution - ed.) were made public on the Web. He did not receive a prison term. Moreover: now he runs the Center for Patriotic Education. He has a very honorable position.
Expert opinion. Vsevolod Lukhovitsky, co-chairman of the interregional trade union of educators "Teacher"
On the formation of the salary fund of teachers and NSOT
The payroll fund (PAYF) is formed by the school independently from the funds that the school receives as a budgetary educational institution. The more students in the school, the more payroll - this is the normative per capita principle of financing. In the end, it is the director as an employer who determines the salary of employees. But, unfortunately, neither employees nor parents have any means of influencing which standard a particular region will adopt. Calculations of the standards are not published, although they are directly related to the rights of children to education and teachers - to decent wages.
How exactly the payroll is distributed should be spelled out in the school Regulations on wages. If the school has a strong teaching staff, it may insist on a fair distribution of the available funds. But most often, school Regulations copy the exemplary ones recommended by the regional education department.
In 2008, the transition to new system wages (NSOT). The tariff scale, common for the whole country, has been abolished, the salaries of teachers can now differ significantly even in neighboring schools. According to the NSOT, the salary is divided into 2 parts: basic (that is, guaranteed) and stimulating (depending on the “quality of work” of the teacher, which cannot be objectively assessed). From the point of view of the law, incentives are a type of bonus, and no one is obliged to pay the bonus, it is the director's right to award someone a bonus if he sees fit. In addition, according to the current system, it turns out that if all employees work efficiently, their salary does not grow, because the part of the wage fund allocated for incentive payments remains constant and the “cost” of one point simply decreases. Teachers in the same institution must compete for points, making the very idea of mentoring and transferring experience impossible. Now an experienced teacher sees in the young only a competitor who will take points from him if he teaches well.
When the NSOT was introduced, school funding was increased to show the benefits of the NSOT. Now, with a general reduction in funding, teachers understand how they were deceived. Increasingly, there are demands to abolish the NSOT.
On the reliability of Rosstat figures
How is the average school salary calculated? A few simple tricks that are not cheating in the truest sense of the word.
First, teachers are forced to take on a large workload. According to the Center for Sociological Research of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation in April 2015, almost half of the teachers worked with overload: 38% for 1.5 rates, 8.4% for 2 rates. In addition to the main work, 82.9% of teachers had an additional workload: teaching - 47%, organizational - 15.5%, educational - 9.5%, individually worked with students - 11.7%. 65% were engaged in cleaning the classroom and territory. Since then, the workload for teachers has grown even more.
Secondly, the statistics do not include part-time teachers and teachers with a workload less than the rate.
Thirdly, in many schools there are paid educational services. So this money is added to the basic salary, so parents help to report on the implementation of the "May decrees" by the regional authorities.
On the implementation of the "May decrees"
In 12-13 there was an increase in funding in a number of regions. But rather quickly, the officials realized that it was possible not to increase funding, but to force directors to cut teachers and increase the workload of those who remained. Especially given the general economic crisis.
It has long been clear that the "May" decrees cannot be implemented. This was even discussed in the ONF and the Ministry of Education. In some regions, governors directly say that the "May" decrees are not normative acts, but wishes.
On the requirements of the trade union "Teacher"
Now the situation in Moscow is still better than in many regions. A few years ago, our main complaints against the Moscow Department of Education were related to the so-called reorganization educational institutions. Unfortunately, neither we nor the parents were heard, and it was not possible to organize serious resistance then.
The second claim is related to the lack of transparency in the formation of standards. The current standards have not been revised for 6 years. And, most importantly, no one answers the question of how this standard was calculated. For example, in a number of regions coefficients are provided for boarding schools, gymnasiums, etc. There is nothing like it in Moscow.
As for the all-Russian requirements, they are obvious:
1. Recognize the transition to NSOT as a mistake.
2. Establish uniform minimum rates for the whole country wages teachers, educators, lecturers and others teaching staff, tied to the average level of payment in the country; give regions the right to increase rates, but not to reduce them. Before making such changes, annually index the norms of per capita financing of educational institutions in accordance with the level of inflation.
3. Change the methodology for calculating the average salary in the region: determine the amount of salary in terms of the hourly rate. This will make it possible to put an end to the practice of formally increasing the salaries of teachers by firing some of them and placing an unbearable burden on the rest.
4. Fasten legal acts a categorical ban on the forced involvement of teachers in the performance of work not provided for by labor contracts and official duties.
5. Issue a regulation that guarantees teacher pay for more than 36 hours per week as overtime.
6. Ensure the payment of compensation to teachers for all types of work at the State Final Attestation.

My acquaintance with Victoria was easy and very kind. The topic of Reiki has been of interest for a long time. I wanted to get initiations into Reiki, but somehow it didn’t work out, for various reasons. And here is a push, a spontaneous call to the company and everything turned out as I needed. At the first meeting, I received 1 initiation in traditional Reiki, individually. Then there were more meetings with Victoria, they worked with my situations, then the 2nd degree of Reiki, Reiki circles. And always the most pleasant impressions from the meetings and the realization that we are moving in the right way, correcting what is needed.
Victoria is my Master Teacher.
She is extremely tender, beautiful, fragile, very sincere. And indeed it is. I thank Victoria from the bottom of my heart for her knowledge that she shares and for meeting with her.
Feedback from Ekaterina R.
By seven o'clock in the evening, Katya was in nine dragons. "I need Victoria, can I see her." A woman in turquoise came out into the corridor in her hands she had a pen, that very magic pen of Natalia Pravdina, the image of a woman was in harmony with the pen, then it seemed to me that this woman was heavenly, so beautiful and pure, and only later I found out that the spiritual name of my master was Victoria . Heavenly... She told me that I can resolve all issues through her administrator Lydia. And I left. Then I called Lidochka, introduced myself, explained that I needed a meeting with Victoria, what I want, my internal state it was on the verge and I understood only Victoria would be able to help me and as soon as possible, then I didn’t think that there would be obstacles, difficulties, now these words are not in my life, but then they constantly happened and Lida could not choose the time for me to meeting with my master... A few words about Lidochka... Soul sincere open Lidochka, thank you for the miracles that would not have happened without your participation! I recalled the lines from the poem by Yaroslav Smelyakov “Along the small houses of white acacia blossoms stuffy. The good girl Lida lives on the southern street. Reflecting in the window glass, the world is slowly going around.. Good girl Lida, but why is she good? Ask the boy who lives in the house opposite about this, he goes to bed with this name and gets up with this name.
Once in the life of every person, very sincere, open, cozy people are sure to appear. When meeting them, you want to smile endlessly, and in general, a feeling of happiness somehow imperceptibly covers from head to toe. Meetings with such people pass too quickly, because you start not to notice the time ... You somehow suddenly realize that this person is already close and dear. It doesn’t even matter that only two weeks, a couple of days or minutes have passed since you met. It’s just that in the company of such people, it’s as if you yourself become better, warmer and more harmonious ... At the moments of parting, you want to hug this magical person very tightly, because only with him you can be yourself, only you can lay out everything that has been waiting for so long your listener in your soul. You seem ready to follow him even to unknown distances, anywhere, just to feel this indescribable comfort... One day you suddenly want to become the same. I want to radiate warmth and light, give other people joy and do good, then you open yourself for yourself from a completely different side. Being a cozy person is very pleasant and incredibly difficult, because in modern world people are accustomed to receiving, too rarely giving something in return. But it's worth trying... So, Katyusha is going to nine dragons...
My acquaintance with the master Victoria took place on October 4, 2015, this date will forever remain in my heart, it is associated with the birth of my loved one and a meeting with the master, the person who gave me the sun, this look, which will then turn my whole life upside down ... I want to tell everyone you, my dears, if sometime in your life you meet such a person with a capital letter, then yours will change beyond recognition, from an insecure, dissatisfied and lost girl, Victoria turned me into a sunny girl, harmonious loving life, feminine and pure, people around me admire and say that I look like the sun, Victoria opened for me new world full bright colors and I want my master's life to be as colorful... And I want to finish the first chapter of acquaintance with words that can convey all my feelings....
“Once I met a sunny man ... My heart ached with thirst, snow slid into eternity. Nearby - strange faces, icicles of tired eyes, droplets of star rhinestones fell on the eyelashes. She walked along the unsteady road, life's crazy run ... The sunny man stopped with a smile. He smiled crying and handed out warmth. Everything was different with him, everything was easy with him. He forever left a light in my heart to distribute the flame to those who are alone on the way ... "
This is where I want to finish the first chapter, then I went to the site of Natalia Pravdina and saw this look that accompanied me all the fussy days... Moscow... I'm going to nine dragons, and then there will be a new chapter, and oh miracles, because they happen with those who believe in them...

Who is a Master? This is a professional person who knows his business inside and out, and loves his job. This is a person who is able and ready to share everything that he knows himself, even the smallest nuance, intonation of his craft, in order to show the depth and beauty of this work. Share not only knowledge, but also love! And most importantly, those energies of goodness and light that God once gave her and of which she became a conductor. It's all about her... about Victoria Minenkova, about my most Beloved Master and Teacher! She will always help, advise, teach, she opened the way for me.... to the world of Reiki energy! To the world of the most positive, healing and smart energy! I have already received the second step, and this helps to maintain my health, my emotional spirit, and heal my relatives in life. Flowers began to grow rapidly in the house, to which I gave Reiki when I was working on channels. Simply amazing! I also noticed that by practicing Reiki energy, I became more energetic, sane, positive, more confident in my actions and thoughts, and most importantly for a woman, slim and fit. Reiki makes it easier life problems! And to my Master of Health, Light and Prosperity!

Foreword:
On January 30, trouble came to our family, completely unexpectedly. A blow that knocked out of the usual course of life. What I experienced then, those feelings cannot be described in words. Why did this happen??? It didn’t fit in my head, we tried so hard to live with dignity.
It was later, working through every moment “why did this happen?”, that understanding came. Your closest and dearest little man, so beautiful and beloved, having reached a certain age, faced the situation and the definition of “karmic working off”. And it was time for him to "work off", and very difficult. Everything matters, and our past, what we came into the world with, and our family, and our RELATIONSHIP. Sadly, what happened then happened.
Victoria was with me from the first days, during that difficult period. Her help and support gave strength to believe and hope. Her sincere participation, kindness, responsiveness helped me to live, even in periods of absolute despair. And, even when the forecasts in clairvoyance were the saddest, she helped me not to break down, talked with me, gave advice, prayers, strong rituals.
AND I STILL BELIEVE!!!
Thank God that there are such spiritually strong people in my life.
I will never forget the day when I was driving from my favorite center "9 dragons", from Victoria. There was a feeling that something good would happen, such inner peace. It was April 14th. On that day, Victoria and I were completing work on my difficult situation. And in the evening there was a MIRACLE!!! The nightmare that lasted 2.5 months is over!!! I remember that “shock” when I heard the most long-awaited news, I remember how I immediately wrote an SMS to Lidochka Gorlova’s number with a request to convey good news to Victoria (she was having a seminar then). I remember all the emotions that were going on in me then, the sincere joy of the girls from the center. Thank God, everything ended well for our family.
Victoria, dear, with your help and participation, our difficult “family” situation was resolved successfully. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I know where the dream lives, even if it came true. She lives high. On Sparrow Hills. It is guarded by Malchish-Kibalchish. Remember? "Steamboats are sailing - hello to Malchish! Pilots are flying by - hello to Malchish! Steam locomotives will run by - hello to Malchish! And pioneers will pass by - salute to Malchish!"
Thus ends "The Tale of the Military Secret ..." Arkady Gaidar. And another begins - already modern.
Now, minibuses and trolleybus N 7 are rushing past Malchish-Kibalchish along Kosygin Street. And at its foot, a capsule with earth from the grave of the writer Arkady Gaidar, who was buried above the Dnieper in the tiny city of Kanev, is buried. The monument to Malchish was opened on the territory of the Palace of Pioneers on Sparrow Hills on May 19, 1972 - on the day of the 50th anniversary of the All-Union Pioneer Organization. The earth capsule was buried two years later. And also on Pioneer Day.
This year, the main Palace of Pioneers of the Union (and now Russia) is celebrating its 80th anniversary.
In the distant (as it seems now) 1936, people from all over Moscow went to the Stopani Lane for a dream. More precisely, the children went to see their dreams come true, since they could simply dream in the Taganskaya communal apartment, where there was one washbasin for 43 people (like, for example, the future prima of the theater and cinema Natalya Gundareva), and in the spanish gateways of the Arbat (like the actors Rolan Bykov and Igor Kvasha), and in the elite Government House overlooking the Kremlin on Serafimovich Street (as the writer Yuri Trifonov)...
One could dream anywhere in pre-war Moscow. But the dream could come true only in the Palace. At the Palace of Pioneers. "The winter of 1937-38 was anxious, difficult. I still remember ... the feeling of a festive, chilling excitement ... I almost ran along the alley to an old house, all the windows of which were lit ... a warm, festive house. ... Disputes , discussions, mutual destructive criticism, interesting lectures - all this came later. They gave me something very important, without which I would not have become a writer, "wrote Yuri Trifonov, author of the novel House on the Embankment, about the literary studio of the House of Pioneers. Writers Yuri Trifonov, Sergei Baruzdin, Anatoly Aleksin, Sergei Lvov grew up in the literary and creative studio on Stopani... Life here, albeit a little, was ahead of the reality in which children existed.
Life was made up of gray everyday life: eternally tired parents, an untidy and often hostile court, irritated teachers, it seems, unfairly churning out "deuces" and "triples" in your diary ... And in the Palace of Pioneers, "life as it is" fabulously turned into "how could it be". In the way it should be. In a bright future.
In Belarus, the Loktev Ensemble, the Theater of the Young Muscovite, the Pioneer Choir are well known, in Moscow they admire the Chabarok dance ensemble, the Krynichka choir, and the Praleska folklore ensemble. In a word, we are friends with families ...
Eighteen-year-old student Vladimir Stein created a Puppet Studio here, which very soon became world famous. As a six-year-old girl, Tamara Sinyavskaya, the daughter of ordinary Moscow workers, came to the ballet group of the Song and Dance Ensemble of Vladimir Loktev (then the group did not yet bear the name of the great maestro). And she became a world famous opera singer. Sergei Nikonenko was brought to the cinema by love... No, not only to art - to an ordinary girl with freckles. Because of her, he remained in the theater studio of the Palace of Pioneers.
Igor Kvasha was pulled out of the thieves' raspberries of the Arbat by Rolan Bykov. And brought to the Palace of Pioneers. The Children's Theater showed friends a guiding star.
In 1962, the Moscow City Palace of Pioneers moved from Stopani Lane to Sparrow Hills.
All the palaces and houses of the pioneers had a "military secret" - they kept the dream and gave its embodiment to those who wanted it more than others. The palaces of the pioneers were the territory good faces, burning eyes, kind hearts, true friendship ... In your black and white life you left with a torch inside. Let it be an inch, but more mature, more inspired, freer ...
How about now? Has romance faded from the walls of the Palace of Pioneers in 80 turbulent years? How is the current Palace of Pioneers on Sparrow Hills different from its "great-grandfather" in Stopani Lane? - I threw questions at the general director of the Palace of Pioneers Andrei Shashkov.
It is impossible to correct and even more so replace the classics. And why?! - Andrey Anatolyevich reflects on my question. - An aura of creativity, search, self-improvement moved to our Palace of Pioneers on Kosygin Street from Stopani Lane... There are things that do not change their value over time. Kindness. Love for children. Responsibility. The ability to make friends. Ability to listen and hear. Willingness to help each other. These are personality-defining qualities, without which one cannot move on. We have tried to keep them. Both craftsmanship and moral qualities are passed, as they say, by word of mouth, and the vast majority of our teachers are graduates of their native Palace of Pioneers.
Another thing is what is being taught now, what skills are being imparted. We have preserved everything classical: aircraft modeling, ship modeling, robotics, space, chess, military-patriotic training, ecology... Everything that was and will be in demand by time. Hundreds of other disciplines have been added. For example, practical astrophysics. We have our own observatory, our own planetarium...
There is even a star, named after the Palace of Pioneers on Sparrow Hills.
Yes. And this is something to be proud of. As well as the fact, for example, that two pilot-cosmonauts, Hero of Russia, Sergei Ryazansky and Boris Morukov, emerged from the walls of the palace. Biochemist and cardiologist. Both were engaged in the circle of ecology of our Palace of Pioneers.
We try to give children education at the intersection of sciences, at the intersection of subject areas.
The child must have a choice. Every child is talented. We need to be able to see and develop it. Do you want a unique fact?
The well-known mathematician, academician Aleksey Semyonov studied in our palace in a circle ... of cooking. Now Aleksey Lvovich is a Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Rector of the Moscow State Pedagogical University. Head of the group that created a new concept for the development of education in Russia.
The future of the country begins in schools and in the palaces of pioneers, in the palaces of creativity. Whoever controls childhood controls the future.
Andrei Anatolyevich, did you visit the Palace of Pioneers as a child?
Necessarily. I can’t call myself a graduate of the palace, but at the age of nine my father brought me to the chess section. True, then I moved to another sports school - "Sambo-70". And when he became its coach-teacher, and then the director, he dreamed of creating a chess class at the school. (A.A. Shashkov, in addition to being a candidate of pedagogical sciences, is also an honored trainer of Russia. - Auth.)
So you are a sambist with a chess bias?
Well, if you like... - Shashkov laughs.
The Loktev Song and Dance Ensemble of the Palace of Pioneers is a living legend not only of the Palace of Pioneers on Sparrow Hills, but of the whole Russian culture. This is a factory of stars - cinema, ballet, theater ... Loktevites tour a lot around Russia and the world. There are also in Belarus. They especially fell in love with the children's camp "Zubrenok". In "Zubrenka" young Muscovites combine business with pleasure - and relax, gaining health, and delight Belarusian peers with their skills. In turn, the teams of the Minsk State Palace of Children and Youth visit Sparrow Hills. What is called family friendly.
