Flipping through "Ogonёk" is like flipping through the 20th century: leaders and faces of the era, loud events and everyday life preserved in articles and photographs. During the excursion, you will analyze how the magazine changed along with the country, why one issue was released with two covers, what puzzle came to the country from its pages, and which symbols on the cover appeared and disappeared. The magazine "Ogonёk" knows how to preserve time. Through its pages, one can see how the country, leaders, habits, and even the language of news changed. Photographs, reports, and covers captured turning points of the 20th century - sometimes cautiously, sometimes with unexpected boldness. This excursion helps to look at history through media and understand why the same magazine sounded completely different in different decades. At the center of the conversation is how "Ogonёk" adapted to the eras while also influencing them. It was closed, reopened, editors changed, and during perestroika, the publication became a noticeable voice of change. You will learn what events forced the editorial staff to change the presentation of material and why the cover sometimes said more than the text. A special pleasure comes from the details that are usually overlooked. During the excursion, you will analyze which popular puzzle appeared in the country thanks to the magazine, due to which event one issue was released with two covers, and how the Order of Lenin appeared and disappeared on the covers. A separate story is related to charity: you will find out which fund "Ogonёk" became the founder of and why this is important for understanding the time. The excursion is led by Sergey Bruk, a research associate at the Boris Yeltsin Museum. He helps to gather facts into a coherent picture: what exactly the photographs reflected, how the heroes of the publications changed, which topics became central, and what is read between the lines today. This story can easily be continued independently: now you will look more closely at old magazines and understand how media change the optics of time - and how time changes media.
