But she is stubborn, as many generations of Ukrainians, in rebuilding her house out of pieces. The story is not only about Catherine's redemption, but also about Ukraine's survival throughout the centuries that is reflected in a folk tradition called Toloka. close

The significant film Socrates (USSR) was shot in 1991 by director V. Sokolov. The events in the picture unfold in ancient Greece, from 404 to 399 BC. The grueling Peloponnesian War leads Athens to decline. The victorious Sparta puts a special garrison in the city and subordinates everyone to its orders. The established life of the Athenians is being reshaped by the invaders in a different way, and we are not talking about any democracy.
Traffic
The power belongs to the oligarchs, the main one of whom is the harsh Critias (B. Klyuev). Oligarchy means tyranny to the Greeks, confusion and fear in society. And in this outcome people blame Socrates (the role of G. Aredakov). He is a former teacher of the cruel Critias, and Lycon (A. Galko) demands that the philosopher be held accountable. But Critias also has a reason to deal with his teacher, and only the patronage of the supreme leader of Sparta Pausanias (actor G. Drozd) prevents this.
When the enemy leaves, Likon finds allies to fight Socrates - personal scores with him want to settle the talentless poet Melet (G. Vorobyov) and greedy leather magnate Anit (V. Stepanov). Out of revenge for an insulting assessment of his poetic abilities, Melet accuses the great Athenian of blasphemy and demands that he be executed for “corrupting the mind.”
Truth is more expensive
The evils of the philosopher’s teachings to society are proved by the fact that his disciples Critias, Harmid, and Alcibiades are guilty of the situation of Athens. Socrates "dismisses" the charges, but the majority votes for a severe sentence to the ruler of the Duma. The author of the statement that “a man above the crowd” is offered to repent and renounce seditious words. Then he can avoid death by asking the Athenians for forgiveness or exile.
But in the most difficult times for the country, Socrates does not consider himself entitled to trade in truth. Even if the price of a deal with conscience is his life. He obeys the court decision and accepts death with the pride of the hero.
The film “Socrates” was filmed by the creative and production association “Soyuztelfilm” in alliance with the film companies “Petropol” and “Lenfilm” in a watershed for the country in 1991, as it seemed, on the topic of the day. But even after decades, this picture remains relevant, as well as the events of centuries ago described in it. close

The way home for Aleksandr Rekhviashvili is not charted in the conventional sense. It takes the viewer along some peculiar roads and across a unique landscape: Georgian history and legend, politics and social stratification, religion and ethics. Allusive, stylized and allegorical from beginning to end, his long-banned The Way Home is in part a tribute to Rekhviashvili’s favorite director, Pasolini, especially to The Hawks and the Sparrows (1966). Together with the short film Nutsa (1971) and the widely acclaimed Georgian Chronicle of the 19th Century (1979; SFIFF 1983), The Way Home closes a triptych of films that represent Rekhviashvili’s poetic contemplation of Georgia’s past. It makes extensive use of poems by Bella Akhmadulina (the major female poet of the cultural ‘thaw’ of the ’50s and ’60s and a Georgian by descent), and of sets by Amir Kakabadze. Like other films in the trilogy, The Way Home is stunningly photographed in black-and-white.--Oxymoron close
