The beginning of the 60s of the last century. To replace the ARZ radio, I got a Sakta radio. Since 1959, the network tube radiola ''Sakta'' has been produced by the Riga Radio Plant named after A.S. Popov. The radiola consists of a 7-tube receiver and a three-speed electronic control unit. The LW and MW ranges are standard, SW-1 - 3.95...7.5 MHz, SW-2 - 9...12.1 MHz and VHF range - 64.5...73 MHz. IF for AM - 465 kHz, FM - 8.4 MHz. I especially liked the optical tuning indicator in the form of a "green eye" and the keys for turning on the wave ranges, which after many years failed, which was very sad, since I could not repair them - there was mechanical wear, like in any device. The instructions included a section "Antenna and Grounding" with pictures of how to make an outdoor or indoor antenna, and a separate VHF antenna for better reception of broadcasting stations. Since the house was brick, which transmitted radio waves without interference, I began to use an indoor antenna. At that time, stores sold a simple 10-meter wire antenna in the form of a spring that stretched, and I stretched it over the window in the room. On this radio, I received the first long-distance radio stations on short waves and heard the voices of distant countries and continents - "Voice of the Andes, Quito, Ecuador", "Radio Cairo" and others, including radio stations of the USSR - Radio Moscow, "Atlantika", "For those who is at sea", "Peace and Progress", "Motherland", the program "For Soviet specialists working in Asian and African countries" and such a nondescript Moscow station "TASS Information for city and local newspapers". Radiola was also actively used for listening to records. In the 70s of the last century, the "Sakta" radio was replaced by the "Ural-111" radio, but that's another story. * You can view the "Sakta" radio (photo from the Internet) here - https://rusdx.blogspot.com/2023/12/sakta.html * The plant that produces the Sakta radio has produced a demonstration sample of this device specifically for the Radio Electronics and Communications pavilion of the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy of the USSR. The radiola is mounted in a transparent case, allowing you to see the entire installation, and is installed on a rotating stand. There is a mirror under the lower part of the radio, which makes it possible to see how the installation was done in the chassis basement. (From issue 402 of the "Mass Radio Library", 1961.

Soyka (Russian: Сойка) is a body-worn direction finder developed in the late 1960s in the former Soviet Union (USSR). As one of the first all-transistor handheld receivers, it was used to detect clandestine (spy) transmitters and to intercept agents' communications. The device was used by the secret services of many Eastern Bloc countries. Soyka covers the frequency range 0.7-30 MHz.

Mass political broadcasts daily from 6 to 8 pm." This date is considered the birthday of radio in the Volgograd region. Until August 22, 1942, broadcasting went on daily, then it stopped altogether, because Stalingrad was destroyed by the massive fascist bombing. The radio center was also destroyed by fascist aviation. Radio broadcasting resumed only after the end of the Battle of Stalingrad. In 1943, Valentin Fedorovich Feofanov was appointed head of the radio center. Work to restore it, increase the power of RV-34 transmitters and expand the radio coverage area of the country was his main task. "Stalingrad speaking!" - these words began broadcasts during the war and the post-war revival of the hero city. The call letters of Radio Stalingrad to the music of the song about the hero city of M.

The project will be carried out by the Nanosemantics company at the suggestion of the great-grandson of the famous announcer Arthur Levitan-Sudarikov. The model will be presented in 2024, on the 110th anniversary of the birth of the People's Artist of the USSR. TASS reports this. The company noted that they set the task of immortalizing the voice of the announcer in digital format. After all, it was Levitan who announced to citizens the most important events of the 20th century, including the beginning of the Great Patriotic War and the victory of the Soviet Union in it. To train the model, an archive of voice recordings of the announcer from the State Film Fund will be used. The great- grandson also asked to give the developers access to audio materials stored in the Levitan Museum in Vladimir.

The children's television program that every child of the Soviet Union remembers is the "Budulnik" program. The debut episode of the program was released on October 3, 1965. Initially, the program was aimed at any children's audience, but due to the huge abundance of children's programs, Soviet censorship asked the team working on the program to address the program for children of "pioneer age." And even despite these restrictions, the program was very popular among both teenagers and kids.
