I have always loved history. For me, history lessons were like a time machine. Every so often, I open the calendar of events and dates to analyse something and make my own forecast for the future. So, what’s up today. By the way, October 28 is the 301st day of the year. There are 64 days left until the New Year!On October 28, 1892, in Paris, the artist and inventor Emile Reynaud showed the audience an "optical theatre". The talented inventor for the first time publicly demonstrated his praxinoscope apparatus, which showed moving pictures. This date is now considered the beginning of the era of animated films.
On the evening of October 28, 1943, at Stalin's dacha in Kuntsevo, the country's top leader endorsed the text of the Anthem of the Soviet Union, composed by Sergei Mikhalkov and Gabriel El-Registan, with Stalin's pencil amendments. Thus, the couplet: "The noble union of the free peoples" was corrected by Joseph Stalin to "The unbreakable union of free republics."
On October 28, 1943, according to a few conspiracy theorists, the "Philadelphia Experiment" took place, during which the destroyer Eldridge with a crew of 181 sailors allegedly disappeared and then teleported for several tens of kilometres. When the destroyer disappeared, a greenish fog was observed. Of the total crew of 181 sailors, only 21 returned unharmed. The sailors from the Eldridge crew who have survived to this day deny that the experiment had been carried out and consider it to be fiction.
