In 1985, a three-part television biopic “Sophia Kovalevskaya” about the life of the first woman in Russia who became a corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences was released on television.
The great Russian mathematician Sophia Kovalevskaya lived a short but bright life. She was only 40 years old (born in 1850, died in 1891), but during this time there were many dramatic events.
Everything was against her professional choice and desire to go on a scientific path. Mathematics is still considered a “male science”, which requires a special mindset that is not characteristic of a woman. But if today the teacher of mathematics in school can be an object of admiration and respect, then a century and a half ago, society imposed an unspoken taboo on the lessons of the weaker sex in mathematical science. And Sophia Kovalevskaya broke this blockade. For a scientific career, she had to solve not only complex mathematical problems, but also life problems. In this list there is even a sham marriage, which gave the opportunity to get a good education abroad.
The pages of the mother’s biography are leafed through by the daughter of Sofia Kovalevskaya, on whose memoirs the plot of the biographical tape is built. The film contains four episodes from the real history of Sofia Vasilyevna, when she was engaged in commerce with her husband, and then broke with him and became the first female academic in tsarist Russia.
Working on a painting
The dramaturgy of the script by Dmitry Vasiliu and Boris Dobrodeev is based on the attempts of Sophia Kovalevskaya’s daughter to figure out who her mother was outside of science and social activities. The female image of the great scientist in the film was recreated by young Elena Safonova. Her partners in the film were excellent actors Aristarkh Livanov (Maxim Kovalevsky), Yuri Solomin (Prince), Ivar Kalnynsh (Victor Jaclar), Elena Solovey (Anna Jaclar), Alexander Filippenko (Fyodor Dostoevsky), Lembit Ulfsak (Leffler), Algimantas Masiulis (Carl Weierstras) and others.
The film was shot at the film studio “Lenfilm” by the Leningrad director Ayan Shakhmaliyeva (in 1956 she received a diploma of the directorial faculty of VGIK, a graduate of the creative studio of Lev Kuleshov).
The music was written by Isaac Schwartz.
In 1985, the biographical tape of Soviet filmmakers “Sophia Kovalevskaya” was awarded the Main Prize at the International Festival of Multi-Series Television Films in Pianchano Therma (Italy). close

The television series is dedicated to the life and work of the great French composer of the XIX century Hector Berlioz, the author of the famous “Fantastic Symphony”, a bright representative of romanticism in music; an artist whose talent was much ahead of his time. The very life of Berlioz was filled with events, happy and sad, creative searches, communication with talented contemporaries, some of whom were amazed by the depth and sincerity of the composer’s music, others remembered Hector Berlioz as a “pompous comedian”. Nevertheless, Paganini called him the only worthy successor to Beethoven, and Glinka - the first composer of our (XIX) century, whose work had a great influence on Liszt, Wagner, Strauss, Bizet. Hector Louis Berlioz took care of his life by writing the famous Memoirs. However, the composer warns the reader that one should not completely believe what is written, because he himself "has a strange ability to describe the imaginary instead of the real." And the feature film The Life of Berlioz is a brilliant novel about the complex life of a romantic artist. A good opportunity to trace the creative path of the greatest genius of French music and one of the largest composers in the world. close
