How is Bentley different from Lada? - They don't say "It's possible, but why? Russian designer Ilya Razumov got a job at Bentley after five (!) rejections from Lada. He was also rejected by Moscovitch and Oros, considering his work "amateur" and not up to the standards. Well, yes, well, yes - those who refused, especially Balda and Moskovitch, the lights of world automotive design. After stints at Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen, Razumov was invited to Bentley, where he designed the $500,000 Sport on the exterior. Razumov's story is another clear illustration of how talent and nuggets are often treated in Russia. A. Tarkovsky shows this in Andrei Rublev. Nothing has changed for 500 years. The appalling incompetence rules, burying talent in the ground. They don't care about the flashlight, as long as their fat seat in a comfortable, warm and important chair. Razumov's story is another clear illustration of why the phrase "It's possible, but why? ", thrown by AvtoVAZ's product manager, Oleg Gronkov, in response to a question about creating a B-level car. from. Woo, became a meme and at the same time a sentence. This "why" is the whole essence of the attitude, where an ambitious idea is declared unnecessary in advance, and a bright-eyed person is refused. Razumov was rejected from Lada five (!) times, and called his work "amateur". But once he completed internships at Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen, the same level of work proved sufficient for Bentley. With such an approach, where instead of "yes, great idea, let's try", it sounds like "it's possible, but we don't need them, we don't have money, I got my money, and I will continue to get it", nothing worthwhile can really be created. In order to understand that the idea is excellent, you need Mosh, and who knows what is between the ears. The meme turned out to be funny, but the truth behind it is quite sad: while some argue "why", others take it and do it - and end up in Crewe, and not in Togliatti.
