I remember watching this movie when I was 11 years old in the cinema. I read a lot of science fiction then and I liked such films. Many years later, I sometimes revisit this film.

In the USSR in 1987, in a small Belarusian town. Few of my friends like this film, in my opinion it has its own audience.
Around those years, in our cinema, I watched the films “Man from the Star”, “My Enemy” and a lot of space science fiction on video cassettes.

I recently watched the film “Through Thorns to the Stars” - a very beautiful Soviet film.

Yeah I've heard a lot of good things about the film from people that grew up with it, but also heard that a lot of people can't connect with it. In my case it really was that things were lost in translation with me.

I'm going to check out those films when I have the time! I'm actually roaming through some former Soviet Republics this past year. I was in Armenia for about 8 months and just arrived in Georgia. I want to go to Russia at some point but that's a little bit difficult in comparison. Kazakhstan is a great option sometime. The Soviet history is incredibly fascinating, especially in the architecture.

This is what a piece of my Minsk looks like - https://hive.blog/hive-155221/@urri2020/in-the-tram

Architecture, Space exploration, Astrophysics, Search for Extraterrestrial Civilizations. I learned with interest about the 1971 Bureaucan Conference in Armenia, where the world's leading astrophysicists came and what issues they discussed there.

A few weeks back I roamed ROT-54 in Armenia, a Soviet era Radio-Optical Telescope used for deep space research! Look it up, it's an incredibly odd and fascinating piece of Soviet astronomy. I'd never seen anything like it, and now it just sits there at the top of one of the mountains.

I read your post half an hour ago. And earlier I read about this telescope and the people who created it and worked there.
