"I don't want to push any conclusions." about the project "1917
The year of the centenary of the revolution has come to an end. We have selected seven online projects where the authors try to show the events of 1917, and not just talk about them. An occasion for adults to look at textbook facts in a new way. It will also be interesting for children to feel that a hundred years ago is very close.
1917. Free History
Yandex's non-standard project is an attempt to transfer the events of 1917 online: as if all this is happening right now, somewhere in parallel with us. A huge amount of historical data and materials of that time - memoirs, diaries, newspaper publications, letters - are presented in a modern tape format social network, news videos and even cartoons. Here Lenin writes allegedly in his status on November 7, 1917: "The Provisional Government has been overthrown." Former Emperor Nicholas II celebrates excellent weather in Tobolsk on this day and says that he sawed firewood. Ivan Bunin travels from Yelets to Moscow in a wagon with soldiers. Trotsky checks in the next day in Petrograd at Smolny.
Leonid Parfyonov reads in " live Lenin's speech. In a word, if you missed it, be sure to look: you definitely haven’t seen anything like this yet.
Project “1917. free history"- partner of the exhibition "Someone 1917" in Tretyakov Gallery on the Crimean shaft. If you want to dive even deeper into that time, take part in joint competition Tretyakov Gallery and Project 1917. To do this, you need to choose one of the paintings presented at the exhibition, get used to the image of the person depicted on it, make a cosplay (photo parody) and publish it on your page on a social network with the tag #someone1917. Details can be found in the social networks of the Tretyakov Gallery.
Yandex Publishing
A compact but capacious course of seven 20-minute audio lectures with a selection of reading materials on the topic. You will remember why Nicholas II was left on the eve of the revolution without support, how the February events of 1917 began, how Alexander Kerensky came to power, why the Provisional Government fell and the rebellion of General Kornilov failed, how Civil War. You will also hear interesting speculations about whether February Revolution planned, what would happen if a brick fell on Lenin’s head, and you will find out what truth you know from the school bench about revolutionary events- just a propaganda myth.

Collision with the abyss
For those who want to refresh their knowledge of the history of the revolution, this is perhaps the most comprehensive project. All the main stages of the revolution are described in chronological order, there are photographs and archival documents, quotes from memoirs. Interactive design will not let you get bored while reading. Events begin with the winter of 1916-1917, cover the chronicles of the dissolution State Duma, the abdication of the tsar and the creation of the Provisional Government, the "Red Funeral" on the Field of Mars, the arrival of Lenin in Petrograd, the confrontation between Milyukov and Kerensky, I All-Russian Congress Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, the crisis of the Provisional Government, the Kornilov uprising and, in fact, the October Revolution itself. The project continues to grow.

Great Russian Revolution
A large-scale project, the main "chips" of which are a combination of different formats and brilliant multimedia design, which will especially appeal to younger readers. Great option in order to interest the history of the revolution of high school students. But adults will also be interested. Here are written essays, and animated stories, and photographs, and video chronicles, and infographics. The narrative is divided into thematic blocks: events, persons, points of view. All this as a whole, as conceived by the creators of the project, helps the reader to compose for himself three-dimensional picture revolutionary era. Replenishment of new materials is ongoing until the end of 2017, so now is the time to evaluate it in its entirety.
Media group "Russia Today"
Revolution students
With the help of excerpts from diaries, memoirs, letters, you can look at 1917 through the eyes of students, graduate students, recent graduates and cadets cadet corps. Where were they at the most critical moments of the revolution? What did you do? What did you think about what was happening around, what did you hope for? Here, for example, is an excerpt from the chronicles of the young Konstantin Paustovsky, who was almost shot during the fighting in Moscow: “Linden trees with broken branches stood in gray frost and smoke. Along the boulevard to the very monument to Pushkin, mourning torches of broken gas lamps were blazing. The whole boulevard was densely entangled with torn wires. They rang plaintively, swaying and touching the stones of the pavement. On the tram rails lay a dead horse, baring its yellow teeth.
A joint project of the youth Internet magazine of Moscow State University "Tatyana's Day" TaDay.ru and s-t-o-l.com
Another opportunity to look at revolutionary period through the eyes of contemporaries. Kommersant published a chronicle of 1917 throughout the year (all key events in a very summary), digitized issues of the Kommersant newspaper and Ogonyok magazine, which witnessed two revolutions, and photographs of that time. Now it's hard to believe, but the catastrophe, it seems, was not expected. The issue of the newspaper of November 7, 1917 (according to the new style), for example, as if nothing had happened tells about the emerging cooperative industry in Siberia, the opening of new branches of the Eastern Bank in Moscow and publishes advertising. Another project contains short videos with historical essays and articles from modern look for those events.

In the footsteps of the revolution
A small but interesting photo project of Radio Liberty allows you to organize an instant visual journey into the past. Only 15 photographs of memorable events of the period from 1914 to 1920 in Petrograd and Moscow: from the address of Nicholas II to the public from the balcony Winter Palace before the start of the First World War until Lenin's speech to the Muscovites at Theater Square at the height of the Civil War. A brief explanation is given for each photo, but the main thing is that all photos are switched in the "time machine" mode from the historical version to the modern one. You can see what exactly that place looks like now from the same angle as in the historical black and white photo 100 years ago.
»Mikhail Zygar, former editor-in-chief of the Dozhd TV channel, author of the book All the Kremlin Army. In addition to him, more than 100 journalists and historians worked on the project during the year, including one who participated in the launch project The Question journalist Sima Orekhanov, the creator of the "Suffering Middle Ages" Yuri Saprykin Jr. and journalist Andrey Borzenko.
According to the creators of the project, “1917. Free history" is an opportunity "to learn the history of 1917 from contemporaries and the main characters of the events of the most important year in the history of Russia in the 20th century." Every day there are updates on the site from life famous people- Emperor Nicholas II, opera singer Fyodor Chaliapin, poetess Anna Akhmatova and other key figures of the era. Everything is served in a format similar to the news feed on Facebook: short posts, live broadcasts, videos and photos. The basis of the content is letters, diaries and eyewitness accounts, slightly adapted for ease of reading.
The project has already received mixed assessment. While some are enthusiastic about the idea, others say that there is nothing new in it. The Village learned from the editor-in-chief of 1917. Free History" by Mikhail Zygar, why a new resource is needed and what goals its creators pursue.
The goal of our project is to recreate a reality that existed 100 years ago. We imagined what would have happened if there had been the Internet at that time and people were using social networks. It turned out a virtual reality, created using the social network simulator. This internet is a hundred years old.
We decided to present the story under the guise of social networks, because all users are used to them. It is understandable, convenient and interesting genre. People learn from the feeds news from the lives of their friends or people important to them. We want to achieve the same effect - for people to follow the lives of heroes they already know every day.
1917 was chosen for several reasons. First, due to round date. Secondly, because this is the most important period in the history of Russia in the 20th century. It seems to me that everything that happened to us in the 20th century and is happening now is a consequence of the events of 1917. In addition, this year was the apogee of the development of our country: this period saw the peak of the development of Russian culture, literature, theatrical art And Russian society. I think that the most famous Russian people in the world lived at that time; they walked along the same streets, met and created.
Many of our heroes are celebrities: stars Silver Age, great artists, actors of the Moscow Art Theater, ballet dancers, world-famous politicians. When choosing heroes, we focused primarily not on big names, although on them as well, but on the availability of sources and their fascination. We tried to take everything we could find. We managed to select for the project not only recognizable characters, but also ordinary people. It turned out about 1,500 heroes.
We use only authentic sources, shortening some of them for easy reading, but adding nothing of our own. Some of these sources are open, others can only be found in archives. It took us a year and a large team to process all the diaries, letters and memoirs. Every day we will update the event feed so that you can follow in real time what happened a hundred years ago.
Of course, before us, attempts were made to restore the history day by day, as well as the history of one year. But I know for sure that we are the first who not only reproduced stories from the past, but also allowed the reader to look at the world through the eyes of a hero, to feel how people felt inside the events and did not know how everything would end. It seems to me that we managed to create a genre that did not exist before. This is a genre of literature of the future, and maybe even at the junction of literature, theater, contemporary art and technologies.
Since I really believe in this genre, then, most likely, we will continue to master it using the example of other stages and countries after the end of “1917. Free History. For now, we plan to finish the project in January 2018. I do not rule out that we can change our minds and continue to implement it in a different form.
Various formats will be presented on the site. For example, on the launch day, we broadcast online the first meeting of the State Duma, which was remembered for the scandalous speech of the leader of the Duma opposition, Pavel Milyukov. There will also be the usual text recordings, videos and many online events. For example, this week the main thing will pass cultural event of 1916 - the opening of the exhibition of the association of artists " Jack of Diamonds". Users will be able to see all the pictures, find out what the authors and critics thought, how the cultural community reacted.
We announce known events in advance so that readers can plan their attendance. For example, on Thursday secret wedding Emperor's sister Princess Olga. But there are also events that happen spontaneously, such as cataclysms or murders. We do not warn about them, but broadcast them live.
In addition, we have interactive mechanisms that give a person the opportunity to communicate with one of the characters. At the launch, the most popular Russian character from a century ago, the influential preacher Grigory Rasputin, answers questions from users. In fact, this is a chat bot that operates exclusively with Rasputin's phrases.
I think people will pick their favorite characters and see how their lives unfold. For some it is very violent. For example, Nikolai Gumilyov does not write from the front to his wife Anna Akhmatova, communicating only with his beloved Larisa Reisner. Because of this, the poetess suffers a lot, and a real drama is brewing. Such storylines so many. And they are interesting to follow, so I know for sure that we will not run into a shortage of content.
Our goal is to popularize history. We want people to see in it not some boring discipline, completely divorced from reality and not directly related to them. On the contrary, we want to show that history is life. These are people just like us. And history explains a lot not only about what happened, but also about ourselves. Everyone has the opportunity to understand that he is faced with the same problems and thoughts that the person who wrote in his diary a hundred years ago faced.
November 14 at the Museum Patriotic War 1812, a press conference was held dedicated to the launch of the project “1917. Free History ”- a documentary social network that is offered to watch for a whole year as a series. The site talked with the author of the project, Mikhail Zygar, about how “1917” works.
Every day users of the project "1917" expect news from 1917. How do the information agenda of revolutionary Russia and the “news” of 2016 compare?
We want to create a complete world that a person can observe from the inside. Every day you can learn about the weather, financial quotes, cultural life.
I do not know how it will psychologically fit into the picture of the world modern man. I would like the sticky mechanism to work, which turns on when a person views the tapes Facebook- news about friends or famous people. In part, this is also an attempt to build a whole resource on the principle of a social network. For example, VKontakte gives us access to an audience that no one else can reach today. My 12-year-old niece asks me about Yarovaya’s law: “Do I understand correctly that they want to read my VKontakte correspondence?” Perhaps for the first time in history, a person at the age of 12, still not knowing the word "Putin", from another universe, thinks about his rights to personal information. The policy already concerns his right to correspond on social networks. "VKontakte" is access to an audience that does not read in principle, does not read traditional media. The process of consuming information from VKontakte is not reading, but rather interesting consumption. Translation historical sources into the VKontakte language is an important step in communication between knowledge and the user. People are used to social networks, it is part of their life. I hope that now millions of teenagers will see in their tapes not only the singer Nyusha, but also Akhmatova, Stanislavsky, Blok.
All our heroes are familiar to users, this is not a connection to a new and unknown world, we know them from childhood and remember how some of the characters in 1917 look like. We want to activate the readers' mechanisms of emotional attachment to the material. In fact, we don't know the story, we know a few facts from the lives of the three characters; we know what happened to Nicholas II, Lenin, almost no one knows anything about Trotsky, everyone remembers only about the ice ax, and his key role in 1917 remains unknown. We want the public to be surprised - the creators of Russian culture walked along the same streets at the same time. In our project, we have gathered those who changed the time and created history with every step they took.
Now the most relevant form of absorption of history is the series. I think we inherited this hobby from our parents: back in the 90s, we scolded the TV shows that our parents watched on TV, and now we ourselves are passionate about TV shows, albeit different ones. Does your project look like Game of Thrones?
The concept of this series is close to me: an approach to history through a person. All people are the same at some point, have the same features characters make mistakes. Any process is the sum of desires, actions and mistakes of ordinary people.
Now media projects (for example, Arzamas) are trying on modern media formats for historical content in the style of “What did the Decembrists drink?”. In "1917" we are confronted with a series that the viewer is watching. The user can ask Nicholas II, but he may not answer. Is it a social network with limited performativity?
Nicholas II, by the way, will answer for everything at some point. But less spoilers. It seems to me that the viewer in none of the works of art can influence the outcome. Even in performative theater, one can only choose a line of behavior. Our users can influence their non-linear behavior, we do not have a predetermined sequence of actions: if you want - follow one line, if you want - follow all, you can read from the last to the first, you can follow the plot, follow the days. Maximum freedom of movement and navigation in 1917! Rewrite the plot so that Rasputin is not killed or Nicholas II does not abdicate? We do not want this, it is outside our project and artistic culture.
"1917. Free History»
Is 1917 a synthetic art project for you? Does it have a place for criticism - formats, situations in history and media education?
It's too early for me to draw such conclusions. We would like such a genre to settle down and emerge, we came up with a genre without a name, but it must exist, because standard genres for transmitting information, especially historical information, do not take into account the development of technology. Technology is way ahead of content. People perceive information differently. It's time to bring content up to technology. For example, the genre of lectures since Ancient Greece changed little. Even if we shoot a lecture on an iPhone and transmit it via YouTube. We want to make the information more attractive to the modern reader.
1917 is the time when the public sphere, political dimension worked with terrible force. Today we may not even have a shadow of this dimension. Does the 1917 project have a political agenda?
None of us have any plans to politicize the project in any way, because it goes against the genre. "1917" - events that happened a hundred years ago. There is no intervention on the part of the commentator, there will not be smart uncles and aunts who will explain what and how it works and which opinion is correct. We make sources as sexy as possible. We surround man with sources so that he can look at them, touch them. We are against interpretation. The source today should be not only accessible, but also interesting.
- And what do you expect from the launch of such a sexual genre?
We will make a revolution! A sea of projects will appear in this genre!
- Let's clarify the criteria of the genre.
documentary, real time, immersion in the atmosphere, free navigation of the user in the material, photos, videos - all the design is accessible and familiar to the modern user. We want to recreate in detail the world of 1917. I want the site visitor to feel that the heroes of 1917 are coming to him. Everything is the same: the user is used to seeing home page Yandex weather, exchange rates and theater poster, and on the site "1917" he will see the same markers, the world to which he is accustomed. People have not changed, we are not characters with dog heads, living only in history books; No, these are the people who live next to us.
"1917. Free History»
But will there be such a situation: users will get so carried away, play with 1917, that they will forget about where and when they live?
I believe if the people who had gone before computer games or Facebook, will come out from everywhere and go down in history - then this will be the safest escapism that you can think of.
Your goal is to change the idea of history. How might other story moderators react to such a project today? Have you seen what hangs in subway cars?
I don't believe that many people consider themselves villains; rather, almost all people consider themselves right. Everyone in some sense stands for the truth, all adequate historians believe that the truth must prevail. They stand for sources, and than more people learns about history, the better. We have many characters with different points of view. Some opinions bother me, some points of view are outrageous in our times! But the sources say, and I don't believe in a conscious ill will that can get in their way.
All the creators of the project do not say anything in it, they do not advise, as if you created the world and left. You exclude advice as an option; it turns out that only the dead make public statements in this project, you return their votes, and you yourself are eliminated. How does such an approach compare with the expectations of a person who often needs guides and guides?
It seems to me that the degree of human dependence should not be exaggerated. People use advice, but they are more interested in inner conviction than hard parting words. As a rule, most people do not like when something is sold to them, they feel false and begin to resist.
They want advice from within; when you have opinions famous heroes, it's easier for you to navigate, we are not needed there.
About the revolution of 1917. Why did you decide to make an online project as well?
A book is fine, but just writing a book would make me rather bored. This is an archaic genre. Why limit your own options? During the years that I worked at Dozhd, I got used to doing journalism and still think that I do it. It’s just that I don’t work with today’s news, because they are not at all interesting, but I reconstruct in detail a reality that does not exist now, but using all modern instruments and technologies. This project does not interfere with the book, but complements it. I liked the way All the Kremlin's Army spread, and I wanted to expand my audience to include people who today just won't sit down to read a book.
Our main platform is a website, it looks like a social network and works according to the same mechanisms. Inside our team, we say about this site: "The best social network in history: all members died long ago." We maintain accounts for those who are not now, but these are not fictitious entries, we do not compose anything from ourselves, but publish their diaries and letters, which coincide with the date of publication. At first we decided that it would be a hundred characters, but now there are more than a thousand. Thus, every day we talk about what happened exactly a hundred years ago - who did what, what they thought, what they hoped for, what they were afraid of.
I came up with the project a year ago and gradually got a team - now we have 15 people on the staff and more than 50 freelancers and volunteers.
Who came to whom: Yuri Saprykin and Sima Orekhanov, who make public "Emperor's face", to you, or you to them?
We met Sima when I was still working on the Dozhd TV channel - he interviewed me for The Question about the book "All the Kremlin's Army", I said that I was going to do a historical project, and he replied that he also wanted to participate in it , and then introduced me to Yura. Then many wonderful people from everywhere joined us - Dasha Ivanova, who worked in the magazine " Big city”, Andrei Borzenko from Kommersant, Victoria Malyutina-Lukashina, former editor department "Society" "Gazety.Ru".
Do the diaries and letters of people who lived in 1917 coincide with how they write and talk about the events of that time now - for example, in history lessons?
Fortunately, it so happened that the state does not have any official position on this topic - there is no template, standard view. In general, it is ambiguous: for no one there are either their own, or strangers, neither bad nor good. After the Soviet era, the revolution lost its sacredness. All this gives us freedom.
As you say, there is no template view, but over time, specific images of the leaders of the revolution began to form. Take the saying that the Tsar is a saint, and Lenin is on a par with Hitler. The archives of the Cheka-NKVD-KGB from 1917 to 1991 will be classified for a long time - where there are secrets, there is an opportunity to create myths about historical events. What do you think, this opinion is lowered from above? The same Poklonskaya probably did not give all this offhand ...
I think it's impromptu. I am completely unfamiliar with Poklonskaya, but I have no reason to believe that someone suggested to her - the collective mind is not capable of coming up with such a thing. Documents that were published after the collapse Soviet Union, of course, do not give complete information, but for us it's downright expanse. Our ability to learn about what happened in 1917-1918 is close to absolute - you just need to want to. The only problem is that no one wants it - it's an unfashionable, unpopular topic, and, fortunately, there is little speculation on it.
During the time that has passed since the collapse of the USSR, Lenin in last time was a character of interest to the public when Kuryokhin called him a mushroom. After that, interest disappeared - no one is interested in it. Here is Stalin - yes, always alive, he is practically actor Nowadays. 1917 is the most important year in Russian history, this is the absolute pinnacle of both Russian culture and civil society, and at the same time, this is the beginning of the worst nightmare for the country. But this year is of no interest to anyone. Canonization royal family- an incident that, for a part of society, places some accents in the perception of the events of a hundred years ago. But in general, this did not really affect our history - I did not notice the mass veneration of Nicholas II by the Russians.
C What conclusion should the audience of the 1917 Project draw? Does it challenge the values that the state is trying to offer? For me, the source of these values is in the pre-revolutionary era: we are brought up on noble literature, and there is no focus on equality and freedoms in it ...
The last thing I want is to sell the audience some conclusions. This would make the project meaningless for me and for the audience. When you push something, it is immediately visible, and it is impossible to disguise it. Our idea is the opposite. Reality is not black and white, it is very multidimensional, and this project shows that history is not a story about leaders, as is usually written in our textbooks: first Nicholas II ruled the country, then the Provisional Government headed by Kerensky, and then came to power Lenin. The 1917 Project is not about the state and even, I would say, not about society - it is such a puzzle, each fragment of which allows readers to experience the situation of those years in real time.
The difference from us of those people whose memories we took is that they did not know how the story ended. They had a completely different attitude to their "today", they had no clear plans, they did not know any other Russia. Now these characters give us the opportunity to look at those events in a less schematic way. Our project is not a challenge to values - it makes you feel the atmosphere of that time.
Why, after all, Lenin today emerges more and more as a “bad” character, and Stalin as a “good” one?
Speaking schematically, Lenin is the man who destroyed the empire, and Stalin created the empire. From the point of view of the people for whom the empire, national pride and superpower are important values, such a perception of these persons is quite understandable. Revolution from the point of view of these people is bad. But this is not a general point of view, this bright group our population, in my opinion, is not the majority.
C Who are the investors of your project?
These are Yandex, Sberbank and the Dmitry Zimin Foundation. Well, myself.
C Is the project non-commercial? Or will he recoup the money invested?
Absolutely non-commercial. He is educational. We all love the word edutainment - entertaining education. We all want as many people as possible to connect and follow us.
S So for those who supported you, it was an absolutely philanthropic gesture, and not an investment?
I think they did it solely out of a desire to enlighten. Certainly no one was going to make money this way. However, let them tell about it themselves.
Another important partner of ours is VKontakte, which will become the second platform for our project. Some of our heroes will have accounts on
On the project website "1917. Free History» in the form of a social network, every day for the next year and three months, first-person records will be published. Nicholas II, Grigory Rasputin, Anna Akhmatova, Wassily Kandinsky and a thousand other heroes will talk about the events that took place in the life of the country and in their own life a hundred years ago. « RBC Style» talked to executive director project by Karen Shainyan about how the dates of its start and end were chosen, which character was deliberately decided to be abandoned and whether it was scary to publish a video with naked Nicholas II bathing.
— How was the idea for the project born?
— The main initiator of the project is Mikhail Zygar. He owns the idea, which was then finalized and brought to mind by the whole team. Active work on the project began in April 2016. Then there were 10 of us, and at first a lot was done on the knee. And later we were supported by Yandex, which became our publisher.
— How long will the 1917 Project last and why did it start already in 2016?
— The project has concrete start and end dates - November 14, 2016 and January 18, 2018. Thus, the project will last a year and three months. On November 14, 1916, the opening of the 5th session of the State Duma took place. Russian Empire IV convocation. And on the site on the first day of its existence there was even a special online - "live" broadcast from the meeting. This meeting was extremely important. In fact, the deputies accused the empress of treason, and all the events that followed this explain a lot in further history countries. The project will end on January 18, 2018, because on this day (attention, spoiler) they will disperse constituent Assembly. And after that, a completely different life of a completely different country will begin. The civil war is already outside the scope of the project. We were specifically interested crucial moment Russian history, when there was a glow not only in the political, but also in the cultural life of the country.
— How were selected historical heroes project?
— At first, there were about 100 or 200 heroes. But then every month they were added and added. To tell the story of one person, sometimes the legacy that was left of him was not enough. The hero himself could write almost nothing, but his relatives and friends, meanwhile, could keep diaries and correspondence, mentioning him. And such heroes are illuminated, as it were, from the side, they allow us to create a more voluminous picture of that time. As a result, the number of characters exceeded one thousand.
— Were there characters that it was decided to refuse to involve in the project?
— There was only one such character. This is Adolf Hitler. This is, to put it mildly, important character for the 20th century. But in 1917 it was a young man who had not yet planned all the horrors that he later produced. And then we deliberately abandoned the hero, so as not to provoke those who may be looking for a reason to start a scandal.
— By the way, speaking of those who are looking for a reason to start a scandal. The project includes a video of Emperor Nicholas II bathing naked. Were you not afraid to publish it against the backdrop of the scandal with the film "Matilda" by Alexei Uchitel?
— The naked king entered the water and allowed himself to be filmed at that moment. This is the chronicle that he left behind. We have an indisputable alibi - we publish only what is heritage and is taken either from already published sources or from archives that are known to belong to our people. And we give you the opportunity to see it.
— Now many media projects are turned to the theme of the past. Why do you think it is to her, and not to the future?
— We talked a lot about this with Mikhail Zygar. If you look at what is being said in Western Europe and in the New World - in Canada and the USA - everything is really about the future: about ecology, economics, technology. Everyone looks over there. And in Russia there are a lot of historical projects. The fact is that the history of the 20th century is not well digested in our country, people are not familiar with it. It is thoroughly ideologized and mythologized. Therefore, we think that our project will be very useful, because there is no interpretation and no medium between the document and the viewer.
— Who is the main audience of the "Project 1917"?
— This is related to the previous question. On the one hand, we wanted to make a historical project about the past. On the other hand, a lot of effort was put into making it relevant and similar to the social network of the future. Our form turned out to be as futuristic as possible. "Yandex" invests in the project not only in finance, but also in technology. And maybe they will help us do some miracles to bring the content to life even more. We talked about various technologies that, for example, allow you to bring archived video to the quality of a modern picture. And in general, we still have a lot of ideas that we intend to gradually “get out of our pockets”. And answering the question about the audience... With the format of social networks, visuality and “fashion” we want to attract those who are not interested in history at all. All these snapchats and chatbots with Rasputin are aimed at holding their attention. And those who already love history will come themselves.
