1. = 07.12.2022 = Redakciya.Nauka. "An unusual telescope"

A film about the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory. Wonderful journalist Polina Krivykh, a psychophysiologist and popularizer of science, travels to the most interesting Russian and foreign laboratories and tells how they work. Arriving in Pushchino, she visited the heart of the radio telescope, learned what exactly is being studied on Pushchino telescopes, how astronomers explore and discover new pulsars, watch the solar wind and predict space weather. And she also looked into the Pushchino laboratory of the Astro Space Center, where they make a mirror of the "Millimetron" – the most complex space telescope in Russia.

9. = 27.06.2012 = PodmoskovieTV. "Tourist map: Pushchino"

A very nice tourist-journalist came to Pushchino, and in one day he managed to do a lot: he talked with residents on the streets, visited the Museum of Ecology and Local Lore, the Pushchino Observatory, went to the Pushchino estate, and made a small but very pleasant film. Ten years have passed, and we have not forgotten this guy, warmth and sympathy for him have remained with us. And we are very glad that we find this movie on the Internet and post it on our page - now it will not be lost!

By the way, there is a little slyness in the film. Nikolai first came to the observatory, spent three hours in it, and from there he already ran to the museum. And in the film it is shown as if on the contrary :) He was without a car, moved around the city only on foot. Interestingly, it remains in my memory that he was alone, and filmed everything himself with a small camera mounted on a stick, but it is clear from the filming that this is not so - the shooting was conducted by his invisible comrade, whom we did not remember.

11. = 20.08.2010 = News of the Moscow region. "Night of Perseids at Pushchino Observatory"

A short story for the News of the Moscow Region channel about the "Perseid Night" at the Pushchino Observatory. The Perseids are a meteor shower that appears annually in August from the constellation Perseus. Every year at this time, an Open Day is held in PRAO, to which amateur astronomers from different parts of Russia come with their telescopes, and just people who are interested in visiting excursions, listening to stories about astronomy, and in the evening look through telescopes at the starry sky, and if lucky, see the star rain. Every year there are more and more telescopes on the site in front of the observatory, and at the same time the number of ordinary visitors is growing. This tradition arose and exists thanks to the enthusiasm of Vladimir Samodurov, who over the years, of course, has acquired a lot of assistants, but on which everything still holds. How this day passed 12 years ago can be seen in this report.

12. = 27.09.2009 = The very first historical tour of PRAO. Vladimir Samodurov.

Vladimir Samodurov's first test tour of the observatory was on September 27, 2009, in the year of astronomy, as part of the movement of observatories «100 Hours of Astronomy». It was with this excursion and with Volodya's enthusiasm that the PRAO Open Days were born and grew up.

13. = 11.04.2006 = Vladimir Samodurov's video clip "PRAO: history and modernity in faces and metal"

This is a video presentation for the 50th anniversary of the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory.

14. = 2003 year = Russian television. "Report from a closed facility"

A documentary about the Pushchinsky Observatory. 2003. It's nice to see the faces of our employees 20 years ago :)

15. = 1984 year = Soviet television. "Pushchino on the Oka"

A documentary about Pushchino. There are no words or comments in the film. It's worth seeing it just to look at the city and the faces of its inhabitants forty years ago...
https://www.youtube.com/embed/MNQiOdE9sSM

16. = 1972 year = Soviet television. "New city on the Oka"

A documentary about Pushchino 50 years ago. The city is only 6 years old. This is not the best of the Soviet-era documentaries. But to watch it is curious to see the history, and to feel the contrast - especially after watching the 2022 film "What's inside the telescope?", designed for modern youth. The silence, calmness and slow unhurried pace of the 1972 film seem incredible today.
