25 of June, 2025. My Mommy Bright Memory, Limassol, 2025

-




Today, June 25, is my mother Klymenko Maria Vasilievna’s birthday.
How wonderfully we always celebrated this day. Mom would set the table in the garden on French Boulevard, right above us the Cable Car boats would whizz by!
The table was always elegant, Mom would set out a festive service. I still remember the white plates with delicate roses.
And the food was just so delicious!
All our relatives came to the birthday party, mom’s brother Mykola and his wife Nadia and son Yurko came from Illichivsk.
And the flowers for this holiday were of course dahlias – mom loved them very, very much. If everyone were alive, there would be no room for our family at this table.

Сьогодні 25 червня – день народження моєї матусі Клименко Марії Василівни.
Як ми завжди чудово святкували цей день. Мама накривала стіл у садку на Французькому бульварі, прямо над нами снували човники Канатної дороги!
Стіл завжди був вишуканим, мама виставляла святковий сервіз. Я пам’ятаю досі білі тарілочки з ніжними трояндочками. 
А їжа, була така-просто пальчики оближеш! 
На день народження приходили всі наші родичі, приїжджали з Іллічівська мамин брат Микола та його дружина Надя та син Юрко. 
А квіти цього свята були звичайно жоржини-мама їх дуже, дуже любила. Якби всі були живі, то місця для нашої родини вже не вистачило за цим столом.

VERA KHOLODNAYA

VERA KHOLODNAYA I perfectly understand that my short stories are much easier to read, but sometimes it takes me more time to talk about the interesting things that happened in my life and in my gallery. So ask, I will highlight several publications for this material. This is about my author’s project dedicated to the memory of silent film actress Vera Kholodnaya. I called it - "Last Tango" It seems to me that the dignity and greatness of every nation is to preserve cultural values. At all times, rulers, politicians wrote their own history for the people. At one time, in a Soviet school, we studied Marxist-Leninist aesthetics and built communism, and today our children learn the history of Independent Ukraine. Historical facts are distorted. Only the cultural heritage, names and life stories of interesting people, people of art - artists, actors, musicians remain unforgettable. But the interpretation of their names and meanings changes in the same way as history. ...

"The Last Tango" Art Project, by Tatyana Binovska Vera Kholodnaya was a real star of silent cinema and photographs with her image came out in mass print runs. The exhibition featured more than 200 photographs. Vadim Vadimovich Kostromenko, the permanent director of the Odessa Film Studio Cinema Museum, gave us several boxes with an old film. We pulled a fishing line throughout the gallery, hung files with legends about the life and death of V.Kholodnaya on it. You know, it turned out that it is very important that our viewers are very fond of reading, and later on at the next exhibitions I used this feature. The Cinema Museum provided a camera and a projector for use at the time.  The centre of the hall, so modern and cold, we separated with a thin muslin, which became the border between the past and the present. The interior of the room was recreated, which was collected from objects of that time. Interestingly, museum items were used - a screen, a dressing table, h...
