The Spasskaya Tower (Russian: Спасская башня, tr. Spasskaya Bashnya), translated as 'Saviour Tower', is the main tower on the eastern wall of the Moscow Kremlin which overlooks Red Square. The Spasskaya Tower was built in 1491 by the Swiss architect Pietro Antonio Solari. Initially, it was named the Frolovskaya Tower after the Church of Frol and Lavr in the Kremlin, which is no longer there. The tower's modern name comes from the icon of 'Spas Nerukotvorny' (Russian: Спас Нерукотворный) translated as 'The Saviour Not Made by Hands', which was placed above the gates on the inside wall in 1658 and removed in 1917. The tower is also named for the wall-painted icon of 'Spas Smolensky' (Russian: Спас Смоленский) translated as 'Smolensky Saviour', which was created in the 16th century on the outside wall of tower, plastered over in 1937, but reopened and restored in 2010. The Spasskaya Tower was the first tower of the many Moscow Kremlin Towers to be crowned with the hipped roof in 1624-1625 by architects Bazhen Ogurtsov and Christopher Galloway (a Scottish architect and clock maker). According to a number of historical accounts, the clock on the Spasskaya Tower appeared between 1491 and 1585. It is usually referred to as the Kremlin chimes (Кремлёвские куранты) and designates official Moscow Time. The clock face has a diameter of 6 metres (20 ft). The gate of Spasskaya Tower was used to greet foreign dignitaries, and was also used during formal ceremonies or processions held on Red Square.
Boris Mokrousov and Alexey Fatyanov. Nizhny Novgorod and Vyazniki are neighboring cities, the birthplace of two people who created a wonderful union in creativity and friendship. Mokrousova and Fatyanova were brought together by fate in the post-war forty-sixth year. They have the harsh years of war behind them. Both are young, full of energy and both are infinitely in love with Russia. They could be called brothers-broad-shouldered beauties, with an open soul and a great desire to create for the common people. About the love of Russia Alexei Fatyanov said in one of the poems: How would I have mastered the difficult path? And, probably, B, I did not put together songs. If I hadn't been born in Russia, What would I do in life? How would he live? Here is the inner essence of all the work of these beautiful singers of the Russian land, this is the strength of the nationwide love for the works of Mokrousov and Fatyanov. Boris Andreevich said: "I dream of creating such songs that would live for a long time among the people and so faithfully convey the cheerfulness of our era that these songs would love everything, so that everywhere they would be sung in the streets and squares, in the fields and in schools, in apartments and clubs-in a word, everywhere where the Soviet person lives and works." About thirty songs were born in these talented people and all of them have an inseparable connection with the life of their native country, its past and present. In the forty-sixth year, a comic song "Sayings" was written. In the forty-seventh-forty-eighth years saw the light of the song "Guest", "Third Battalion"- a beautiful song-memory of the front years, a song about a strong soldier's friendship. Almost sixty years have passed since then, and the words of this song are relevant now. Isn't it about such a strong male friendship sing young guys who have passed Afghanistan and Chechnya. The theme of love for the Fatherland and the greatest self-sacrifice of our people during the Patriotic War is revealed in the song "Two Friends Walked". Ten years before the first flight into space, as if anticipating this event, Mokrousov and Fatyanov write the song "We are people of big flight", which was immediately sing by the whole country. Aviation was loved by all the people and, probably, all the children of that time played pilots and wanted to become them. In 1947, Boris Mokrousov and Alexei Fatyanov, together with singer Georgy Abramov, came with creative concerts in Gorky. They were also visiting Alexandra Andreevna Mokrousova, who lived at that time in the Avtozavodsky district. Albert Karzhin, in his work "Nizhny Novgorod Father", published in the magazine "Nizhny Novgorod" (Nos. 1, 5, 8 for 1998) describes her memoirs as follows: "They came to me with Fatyanov, the author of many poems for his songs, when I was still living in the Busyginsky quarter of the Avtozavodsky district. They performed in the Palace of Culture of the Krasnoye Sormovo plant, in the concert hall of the Automobile Plant. Boris played, and Fatyanov sang. He had a very nice voice. Both were young, cute, they were accepted everywhere with a bang. Boris and Alexei became so friendly that, in fact, they became twins. Both were full of creative ideas. Both were in high spirits. From concerts they returned cheerful, cheerful. They joked a lot, even almost childishly mischievous. Once we went to a concert in hats, and returned in caps, I ask: "Where are your hats? "And we," they reply, "exchanged them, it hurt the guys liked them." Fatyanov had a lot of funny stories with Mokrousov. Here are two of them, about which the widow of the poet G. N. Fatyanov told: "Somewhere in the 47th year, when Boris was lonely, Alexei decided to arrange his family life. And I must say that my mother was not much older than Boris and at that time also lonely. Once over tea Alexey offered:-Borya, would you marry my mother-in-cheek. He didn't get into his pocket for a word. Answered:-I wouldn't mind, but then you'll have to call me "Daddy". And knowing that you are not out loud, that you will not fulfill my "father's" instructions, I cannot accept your proposal. In addition, it remains to be seen how the mother-in-word will react to your proposal." "When I was waiting for our first child, such a story happened. Alyosha and Borya went to play billiards. And something was delayed, and I just felt that it was time to go to the hospital, so I went alone. Alex and Boris, feeling guilty, promised to write a song for my return. But, apparently, seeing off the poet's wife Galina to the maternity hospital, Alexei Fatyanov and Boris Mokrousov promised to meet her and the child with a new song. Galina Nikolaevna, returning with her son in her arms, demanded:-Well, show the song! Boris Andreevich, bowing his head low, shyly sawed something. Alexey Ivanovich also could not show anything but a piece of paper with some repeatedly crossed out sketches. Gorky residents very warmly received their countryman and his colleagues. Together with Georgy Abramov they sang Mokrousov and Fatyanov songs. We must pay tribute to fellow countrymen-listeners, all, unfortunately, a few concerts (and there were only two), held after the death of Boris Andreevich in his homeland were received very warmly. They were veterans and middle-aged people, and what is most joyful-there were young people, along with all the performers. Speaking about the work of friends-co-authors, it is impossible not to dwell on the songs dedicated to the sailors, their difficult and dangerous work, such as "Sea Passing", "Sailor's Table", "Farewell to the Sea". In the song "Sailor's Passing" the experiences of sailors and the expectation of meeting with their beloved are perfectly conveyed in the words: Fairytale Americas We don't need to, friend, with you, If only a nice shore Appeared behind the stern, Where at dawn Affectionate will meet Girl with a scythe of gold. The shore is melting in the fog, Who remembers us? Cute do not forget-They are carried and cherished in the heart. Oh, the cup for our glory Friends will rise on the shore. Everyone, probably, knows and loves the film directed by Marlen Khutsiev, according to the script of F. Mironer "Spring on Zarechnaya Street". Everyone, of course, empathized with his beautiful characters. Released in 1956, it became a truly golden fund of Russian cinema. In Odessa, where the shooting took place, Boris Mokrousov and Alexey Fatyanov were invited. On the set there was an acquaintance with the actors: N. Ivanova, N. Rybnikov, P. Pugacheva and others. Having studied the script and having felt the experiences of the main characters with his soul, the composer creates several variants of melodies, from which he chooses one. Fatyanov had to work the text. Deadlines were tight, and there was no song. I will make a small digression-according to people - who studied the work of Alexei Fatyanov, the poems were born with him along with the melody, and he hummed, quipped it to the composer with whom he worked. This happened with many fatyanov songs that he wrote in collaboration with other musicians. He was very musical. Here it turned out the opposite, because Mokrousov had a melody ahead, and then poems were written. Nevertheless, friendship, talent and a subtle understanding of the inner world of the heroes did their job. The song was born. The song was especially liked by Nikolai Rybnikov. A young actor who has just graduated from VGIK, and the song performed by him, as it were, helped each other in their future fate. He remained faithful to her until the end of his life, which ended in 1990. Marlen Khutsiev said: "The composer and poet managed to see the very soul, the figurative essence of the future film. The whole movie is in this song." The poet, Mark Lisyansky, recalled: "In the days of the International Film Festival, we watched the unusual "Blue Light" on television. It was attended by famous film actors from many countries. Someone sang in French, and everyone immediately recognized the "Lonely Harmony", written by the composer on the words of Mikhail Isakovsky. Participants of "Ogonyok" in different languages picked up the song. When Nikolai Rybnikov led another Mokrousov melody, to the poems of Alexei Fatyanov, which he sang in the film "Spring on Zarechnaya Street", Lolita Torres, nodding to the beat of her head, echoed her. And a wonderful excitement took hold of those who were on the screen, and us who listened to this song." And now, these days, the song lives. Boris Grebenshchikov sang it soulfully, and newsreel footage, against which the song sounds, complement it, and make you worry with the singer. At the final concert of the contest "On the Volga Wide", held in 1999 in Nizhny Novgorod, it was performed by the wonderful singer Zaur Tutov, who specially came from Moscow, and the whole hall sang with him.
