# Vladimir Bortko

Vladimir Vladimirovich Bortko (Russian: Владимир Владимирович Бортко; born 7 May 1946) is a Russian film director, screenwriter, producer and politician. He was a member of the State Duma between 2011 and 2021, and was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia.

## Biography

Bortko was born 7 May 1946 in Moscow. In 1969 he went to the Karpenko-Kary State University of Theatre, Film and Television in Kyiv. In 1980, Vladimir Bortko became production leader in the Kinostudiya Lenfilm in Leningrad.
In 1991 he made Afghan Breakdown, a Soviet-Italian film about the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan with Michele Placido in the lead, critical of the Soviet military activity. During the troubled shooting that started in Tajikistan in 1990 one of the team members, Nikita Matrosov, was killed by Tajik ultra-nationalists following the 1990 Dushanbe riots. According to Bortko, most of their equipment was destroyed as well, the team was evacuated, and the shooting was finished in Crimea and Syria.
After the turn of the century Vladimir Bortko realized two of the biggest projects in the history of Russian cinema for the television channel Telekanal Rossiya. The first was an adaptation of the novel The Idiot written by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky into a television series of 10 episodes in 2002. The series clinched all the major television prizes in Russia, and actor Yevgeny Mironov received the award for Best Actor at the Monte Carlo Television Festival.
Three years later followed an adaptation of the novel The Master and Margarita written by Mikhail Bulgakov, also into a TV series of 10 episodes. The first broadcast of December 19, 2005 was preceded by months of controversy in the media.
In 2009, Bortko caused another big controversy, with his film adaptation of the historical novel Taras Bulba written by the Russian author Nikolai Gogol. This time the criticism came from Ukraine, because while Bortko allowed the Polish actors in the film to speak Polish, the Ukrainian Cossacks had to express themselves in poor Russian.
Bortko is a member of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF).
In March 2014 he signed a letter in support of the position of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin on Russian annexation of Crimea.
In 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Bortko cried live on TV as a result of the sinking of the Russian cruiser Moskva in the Black Sea, saying that this was "a real casus belli for the war against Ukraine".

Mataka filled the requirements of having the impressive appearance and high intelligence. He was what Marshall needed for the film. He was borrowed from the force for three months to work in the film. Mataka was invaluable to Marshall and helped as second assistant director.

# Repack (mountain bike race)

The Repack race, held on October 21, 1976, was a seminal event the history of mountain biking. It took place on Pine Mountain just outside of Fairfax, California in Marin County, and played a crucial role in the development of mountain bikes. Early riders modified Schwinn cruisers, known as “clunkers,” for the rough terrain. The race got its name because the coaster brakes on these 1930s bikes had to be repacked with grease after each run.
Though only about 200 racers participated between 1976 and 1979, the event attracted pioneers like Charlie Kelly, Joe Breeze, Gary Fisher, Otis Guy, Tom Ritchey, Charlie Cunningham and Wende Cragg, who helped shape modern mountain biking. While off-road cycling had earlier innovators—such as John Finley Scott in 1953 and groups like Cupertino's Morrow Dirt Club—it was the Marin County riders who transformed the sport into a global phenomenon.
Joe Breeze tested the first purpose-built mountain bike, the JBX1 "Breezer 1" at Repack in 1977. Charlie Kelly, Repack's original organizer, and Gary Fisher co-founded MountainBikes, a company in Fairfax, California, that helped define the new fat-tired bicycle category. Fisher still holds the fastest time on the Repack course, and the race remains a milestone in mountain biking history.

# Irving Link

Irving V. Link (1906 – December 31, 2007) was an American real estate investor and a notable presence at Beverly Hills Hotel, where he visited daily for over four decades.

## Early life

Irving Link was born on the Lower East Side of New York City, the 9th child of a respected rabbi. Unlike his siblings, who were born in Vienna, he was the only member of his family born in the United States. His father, a Talmudic scholar with a fondness for card games, passed away when Link was twenty years old.
In 1933, at the age of twenty-seven, Link married Nan Ofgang in Brooklyn. Struggling financially, he borrowed ten dollars to pay the rabbi. With limited resources but a strong entrepreneurial spirit, he discovered a warehouse in New York containing a surplus of unsold fortune-telling devices called Fortunscopes. Seizing the opportunity, he and his wife traveled across the country selling them to retailers, often sleeping in train day coaches due to financial constraints.
Their journey took them to cities across America, from Philadelphia to Seattle. Along the way, Link developed an appreciation for fine clothing, purchasing his first set of Palm Beach suits in the Carolinas. Eventually, the couple settled in California, where Link used his earnings to enter the dress business. Though they briefly considered relocating back East, a coin toss decided their fate—California became their permanent home.
By 1949, they had purchased a modest house in Beverly Hills, and Link’s life took a defining turn when an early morning walk led him to breakfast at the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel. That visit marked the beginning of his decades-long connection with the hotel.

## Beverly Hills Hotel Patronage

In 1950, Link began frequenting the Beverly Hills Hotel. For 42 years, he spent his days by the hotel's pool, engaging in activities such as sunbathing and playing gin rummy. His consistent presence made him a well-known figure among the hotel's staff and guests.

## Later Years and Death

Link continued his daily visits to the Beverly Hills Hotel until it closed for renovations in 1992. He passed away on December 31, 2007, at the age of 101, in Los Angeles.

## In Popular Culture

Link's dedication to the Beverly Hills Hotel was highlighted in a 1993 New Yorker article titled "Beverly Hills Hotel: Paradise Lost," which detailed his daily routine and the impact of the hotel's closure on its regular patrons.
