1. Oleg Sokolov - the founder of the movement of historical reconstruction. Oleg Sokolov, Vladimir Medinsky.
'In 1976, Sokolov founded the first military-historical reconstruction group in the Soviet Union, which formed the basis of the entire modern movement of military-historical reconstruction in Russia. In 2006, under his leadership, the All-Russial Military-Historical Public Movement was created, which unites military-historical clubs in 52 regions of the country. " (https://tass.ru/proisshestviya/7096407)
'In 1976 OV Sokolov created the first in the USSR group of military-historical reconstruction of the wars of the Napoleonic era. One of the founders of the reconstruction of the battles of the era of Napoleon I - the most massive segment of the movement of historical reconstruction in modern Russia. Among like-minded people he is known as "Sire".
In 1988 he took part in the First International Military Historical Campaign to the battlefield of the Patriotic War of 1812. In 1989, with the support of the Department of Defense, Mass and Sports Work of the Central Committee of the Komsomol, the first congress of representatives of the country's military historical movement was held. At the congress, the Federation of Military Historical Clubs of the USSR was created, and Sokolov was elected president.
After the collapse of the USSR, he was one of the initiators of the unification of military history clubs in Russia and the interaction of the reenactment movement with state authorities. To achieve these goals, Sokolov participated in the creation and leadership of the following public organizations: the Military Historical Association of Russia (1996-2007), the St. Petersburg Military Historical Association (1999-2007), the All-Russial Military Historical Social Movement (OVIOD) (2007- 2017), Russial Military Historical Society (2018 - active organization). After the termination of the activities of the OVIOD, the leaders of the organization Oleg Nelzin and Oleg Sokolov joined the scientific council of the Russial Military Historical Society (RVIO). (Wikipedia).
It should be noted that the termination of the activities of OVIOD, the creation of the RVIO resembles the fate of many projects, for example, the project of bicycle parades in Moscow. 'For years, activists have been holding bike parades in Moscow. Now the mayor's office wants to make its own runs - and activists say that the project is being stolen from them. 18:06, 7 November 2018. Source: Meduza. (https://meduza.io/feature/2018/11/07/aktivisty-godami-provodili-v-moskve-veloparady-teper-meriya-hochet-delat-svoi-probegi-a-aktivisty-govoryat-chto-u-nih-ukrali-proekt) 'Kumov believes that, in fact, the mayor's office is intercepting the brand created by Let's Bike It. The bicycle activist believes that there is no point in spending budget funds on an event that has been successfully sponsored for many years [by private firms], and points out that much less money was spent on all Let's Bike It events than on the 2018 Motofestival held by the authorities (an event with 3 thousand the participants cost the city at least 50 million rubles). "
The posting of photographs by some citizens on the Internet can be a form of spontaneous public protest against the transformation of a public project into a state project. It is unlikely that modern citizens of Russia have sympathy for historical figures completely alien to them.
In 2012, another anniversary of the Battle of Borodino and victory in the Patriotic War of 1812 were celebrated on a grand scale. Historical reconstructions were presented on a huge scale. It is logical to assume that huge budget money was circulating.
'BORODINO (Moscow region), September 2 [2012] - RIA Novosti. The solemn celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Borodino ended on the Borodino field, the main event of the celebration was the reconstruction of the battles that took place in 1812.
The festivities began with a ceremony at the monument at the command post of Napoleon in the village of Shevardino, where ex-French President Giscard d'Estaing and the French Ambassador, accompanied by the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky, laid flowers and honored the memory of the fallen with a minute of silence.
The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin also visited the Borodino field. The head of state took part in laying a wreath at the monument to the heroes of the Battle of Borodino ...
But the main event of the holiday was the military-historical reconstruction of the episodes of the Battle of Borodino, which took place on the parade-theater located west of the village of Borodino. About 2 thousand infantry, 300 cavalrymen, 400 artillerymen and 30 artillery pieces were involved in the reconstruction. The length of the theater of operations was about one kilometer.
The battle in 1812 took place in the early morning, although the reconstruction began in the late afternoon, but the twilight rainy weather became an excellent scenery for the battle. The first reconstructed scene was "The Morning Before the Battle": the Russian army, having prayed, set off to defend itself against the ... enemy ...
(...)
But, glancing at the audience with a contemptuous glance, Napoleon himself with his retinue rides along (near) a line (a row) of the audience. And it becomes clear that the battle is lost.
But victorious music sounds, incomprehensible rearrangements begin from all flanks, and all the reenactors who took part in the battle line up in an even line alongside facing the public. Cannons roar, applause sounds. Let the battle be lost, but later the Russian army will reach Paris, the spectators know this, the reenactors know, and Kutuzov and Napoleon know, whom the soldiers greet with three "Hurray". And for today the battle is over, and the girls from the reenactors club, who only watched the battle, go to the camp to set (to heat) tea and meet the returning heroes of the day.
Military history clubs from France, Poland, Belgium, Scotland, Russia and other countries took part in the reconstruction of episodes of the battles of the Battle of Borodino. The Battle of Borodino is the largest battle of the 1812 war. In France, this battle is called the battle on the Moscow River. During the battle, Napoleon's army lost more than 50 thousand people (according to French data - about 30 thousand people), the Russian army - over 44 thousand people. " (https://ria.ru/20120902/741567235.html)
For such a large-scale work, Sokolov could have been awarded ... Some state award - some order not of the highest level of some third degree, he could receive (among other participants in the reconstruction of the Battle of Borodino) ...
Alas ... "Awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor of the Cavalier degree (France, 2003) -" for his outstanding contribution to the development of research on the history of France and its popularization "(Wikipedia).
"The Russial military-historical society was formed in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 29, 2012 N 1710 ..." (Wikipedia).
'Although Medinsky did not begin to answer the question about his acquaintance with Sokolov, they met at least once. This is confirmed by a photograph from the RVIO archive. " (https://primechaniya.ru/sankt-peterburg/stati/medinskiy-vozmutilsya-interesom-zhurnalistov-k-docentu-sokolovu)
How can the chairman of RVIO be unfamiliar with a member of the scientific council? ('Vladimir Medinsky has been the head of the Russian Military Historical Society since its establishment on March 14, 2013' (Wikipedia)).
So, the first very, very significant event related to the social status of Oleg Sokolov happened in 2012. The public bike parade is over and the state bike parades have begun.
However, the peculiarity of Oleg Sokolov's position was that he, unlike all the players on the field of historical reconstruction, had an undeniable authority, a generally recognized business reputation. A photograph of Oleg Sokolov, taken in 1988 by a foreign TV channel, where he is named the founder of historical reconstruction in the USSR, moves from a publication to a publication. Oleg Sokolov's reputation abroad as the founder of the historical reconstruction movement was and remains undeniable and unshakable.
Thus, in the community of effective managers, prankers and historical Sharikovs, Oleg Sokolov was a real person with real merit, with a real history of success. According to the standard algorithm, he was turned into a person to displacement (to squeezing out).
2. Oleg Sokolov. Andrey Sakharov and Evgeny Ponasenkov.
'About the first work of 'Maestro' (as the historian is called by his admirers), the historian Andrei Sakharov, director of the Institute of Russial History of the Russial Academy of Sciences and the author of a school textbook, spoke positively. In a video conversation with Eugene, he said that he intends to refer to "The Truth About the War of 1812" in his new edition of the monograph about Alexander I, but in the new edition, published in 2014, there are no references to "Pravda ..."
Although Sakharov's statement about Ponasenkov's work is very positive, many other colleagues in history are much more skeptical. " (https://www.infox.ru/usefull/29/240530-biografia-evgenia-ponasenkova-naucnye-trudy-sud-s-istorikom-rasclenitelem-i-premia-lzeucenomu)
3. Less significant events. Oleg Sokolov and Gérard Depardieu.
'On January 1, 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed Decree No. 1 on granting Gérard Depardieu Russial citizenship ...' This promise was due to Depardieu's significant contribution to Russian culture and cinema, 'said the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov. Commenting on the news of obtaining Russial citizenship, the actor said the following in his address to the Russials, drawn up by him in two languages:
I adore your country, Russia, your people, your history, your writers....
On the evening of January 5, 2013, Gérard Depardieu received a Russial passport." 'January 6, 2013 Gerard Depardieu arrived in the city of Saransk, where the leadership of the Republic of Mordovia offered him an apartment or own house.' (Wikipedia).
'VIENNA, December 6 [2003]. / Corr. RIA Novosti Borislav Pechnikov /. The 4-episode television film about Napoleon, the most expensive ever on television, will be at television screens in Austria on Monday.
As RIA Novosti was informed in the studio of feature films of the Austrian television RUF, the cost of its creation exceeded 40 million euros. For half a year, this film by French director Yves Simono was filmed in Austria, France, Czech Republic, Hungary and Canada. Starring such world stars as Gerard Depardieu, John Malkovich and Isabella Rossellini.
According to Yves Simono, "this film will become the 'Napoleon' of the 21st century. We made such a film that at least in the next 25 years it would not occur to anyone to repeat our feat."
More than 10 thousand soldiers and 3 thousand horses are involved in the battle scenes, which were filmed in Hungary with the participation of soldiers and officers of the Hungarian army in extras. The special effects alone cost the filmmakers over 2 million euros.
With the help of extremely expensive cosmetics and make-up and historical costumes, some scenes of the film "Napoleon" were filmed with numerous takes in 10 most beautiful castles in Europe. " (https://ria.ru/20030106/294585.html)
This is one of those rare films that we personally had the good fortune to watch (the film with dubbing into Russian). The film contains very expressive scenes from the 1812 campaign.
Naturally, Oleg Sokolov would be very useful character during meeting Gerard Depardieu. But it seems he was not noticed at place of events...
4. In general, Oleg Sokolov was a person with real merit, with real achievements, with a real history of success and with real knowledge. It is difficult for such people in modern Russia to live in a normal, European style ... Oleg Sokolov got a little carried away by historical reconstructions and, perhaps, too late, he thought about the reconstruction of modern reality ...
