Moscow Planetarium in the Film “Nezhny vozrast” and a Recommendation to Visit

In the film "Tender Age", the protagonist Kir Lopukhov, on the day before leaving for the front, says: "How can it be? A true Muscovite, and I have never once been to the planetarium." And on his last day in his native home he leaves his mother and goes to the planetarium, to the great star hall. I simply wanted to advise everyone who does not know where to go in Moscow to choose a programme to their taste and visit this unique place. I recommend arriving an hour before the programme begins, in order to catch the lecture on the history of astronomy, of the Moscow planetarium and of the Soviet cosmos. The impressions are truly unforgettable.
