Russian cinema day
In Russian, the word "movie" is translated from Greek as "moving." The Lumiere brothers, who came up with the first apparatus capable of “moving” pictures, first showed its effect in Paris, on Kapucinok Boulevard. Russia saw the first domestic "cinema" in 1908. It was a story about Stenka Razin, based on the folk song "From the Island to the Rod", its duration was only 7 minutes. In the last decade, cinema has again become an important art - many festivals and film contests are held, in Russia it is the Moscow International Film Festival and others.

Micah-Suhovey
In Judea, in the 8th century AD, there lived a small biblical prophet Micah, who was considered the author of the book of prophets. Micah is also considered the founder of a new trend that simplifies the essence of Judaism. It was Micah who predicted that Judea would be destroyed, noted the sinful behavior of its leaders. Sometimes his prophecies, on the contrary, inspire hope - about the coming of the Messiah.
On this day, peasants watch flocks of cranes - if their wedges stretch to the south - you need to wait for frost by mid-October. Calm cranes predict late winter cold. On Mikhey, the masons who lay the stove are pleased in every way - after all, the heat in the house depends on them. They also honored other builders - those who build princely mansions, fortresses, and temples. After the end of the fast, the meat-eating week begins and the time for weddings begins. On Mikheev day, potential suitors have the last chance to capture a girl.
Historical events of August 27

August 27, 2000 - fire at the Ostankino television tower
The main television center in Moscow was a unique and tallest building - its height was 537 meters. The slim body rested on a wide base. Inside the housing was a cable system providing stability and monolithic construction. The fire on the tower lasted a whole day, and all because of a small short circuit at an altitude of 460 meters. The fire destroyed the elevator mount, power supply and communication systems.
Work on the air was restored after a week. The fate of the tower was a big question - the discussions lasted a long time. The question of discussion is which department should restore the tower, and what sources of financing should be involved. Many thought it was easier to build a new tower than to restore an old one. The tower was completely restored only after 4-5 years.

Petr Nikolaevich Wrangel (1878 - 1928) - Russian politician, leader of the white movement in the Civil War.

Having barely escaped the execution of the Reds, he ended up in Yekaterinodar and received command of the military corps.

Faina Ranevskaya - August 27 (1896 -1984 years).

She considered herself very lonely, and precisely because she was so talented. Only the theater - no husband, no children. In the memory of those who knew her, she remained not only an amazingly talented actress, but also a man who possessed an exceptional sense of humor. A scattering of her aphorisms is quoted, remembered and honored.
