The monument to the pioneer of Russian cinema Alexander Khanzhonkov will be delivered in Rostov. Such an initiative was made by the cultural observer of the Don-Trier television company Lyubov Surkov. According to legend, Khanzhonkov decided to organize his own film production after visiting one of the first Rostov cinemas - then they were called electric biographs.

Khanzhonkov is from the village of Verkhne-Khanzhenkovsky, now it is the Ukrainian city of Makeevka. At the age of 19, he graduated from the Novocherkassk Cossack Junker School, served in the 1st Don Cossack shelf. Being traveling in Rostov in 1906, Khanzhonkov went to the Olympus cinema at Sadovaya-Semashko, opposite the building of the current city hall. The impression of what he saw turned out to be so strong that Khanzhonkov quit the reserve allegedly due to health reasons, received 5 thousand rubles of compensation and invested them in the film business. A few years later he established his studio, began to engage in documentary and rental of foreign tapes. Khanzhonkov shot the first full -length film “Defense of Sevastopol” in Russia. It was his studio that was also released by the world's first cartoon in the technique of voluminous animation "Beautiful Lukanida, or a war of barbeling with horns."

The sculpture of the cinema pioneer wants to be put in the square next to the former Rostov hotel on Krasnoarmeyskaya-Budennovskaya. As the author of the idea of ​​Lyubov Surkov told us, there was a gymnasium on the contrary, where Khanzhonkov studied.

He has already made the first sketch of the monument: Hanjonkov with a twisted mustache, in a hat and a long cloak stands next to an old -fashioned camera on high legs. They also promise to hang two memorial boards in memory of the filmmaker - at the facade of the former cinema Olympus and on the building of the Hanjonkov gymnasium. In February, the head of the city Sergey Gorban spoke about them back in February on the air of the television program “My address-Rostov-on-Don”.
