A film about the famous Transbaikalian geologist Georgi Jorgenson was shown in Chita.
Today at the Odokan cinema premiere screening of the one and a half hour long documentary "Treasures of Dauria. people. Jorgenson", dedicated to the life and work of a professor and doctor of geology and mineralogy.
The show drew a full house. The scientist himself arrived. He interacted with the audience and signed autographs for the students.
The author of the idea for the film was the Minister of Science and Vocational Education of the region, Natalia Vikolova. According to her, the real treasures of Dauria are the people who live and work in Transbaikalia and leave behind a huge scientific and cultural legacy.
The filmmakers from Kursk also came to the premiere, including the producer Ilya Yakushkin. The team is already making a second film about Transbaikalia, but for the first time they are personally present at its presentation.
Yakushkin said that the meeting with Georgi Jorgenson had a great impact on the film crew:
After communicating with him, the way of thinking changes, the lifestyle changes and you want to work, work and work. including yourself.
Before the show, Jorgenson himself joked about the producer's words about his willingness to move mountains. The scientist asked the mountains not to move, because they are a unique creation of nature and contain amazing deposits.
The geologist also remembered how he first came to Transbaikalia as a student at Kazan University to look for rock crystal. The local nature impressed him so much that he decided to connect his life with the area.
Filming took place in Chita, Char and the Odokan copper deposit, which Jorgenson explored in the middle of the last century.
One of the most touching moments in the film was Jorgenson's story about his wife, who passed away just a week before filming began. She was a co-author of most of his scientific works.
The film also contained the scientist's thoughts on what remains after a person:
Gorky once said: "A man sounds proud."
