Historical drama Boris Kazakov "Stalin: Live" was the first attempt to visually demonstrate the inner world of Joseph Stalin. The narrative is conducted on behalf of the “leader of the peoples” himself, and the viewer can see what Stalin’s confession could be if he ever decided to confess.
After the victory over Nazi Germany, the world political balance swayed significantly towards the USSR. It is no wonder that the United States and Great Britain began real preparations for atomic war against the Soviet Union. In any case, this was how Stalin himself saw reality, who believed that the Allies wanted to eliminate him physically. close

The film “Pechorin” is based on the novel by Mikhail Lermontov “Hero of our time”. The authors deliberately depart from the classical canons, and take as a basis the phrase thrown by Pechorin in a conversation with Maxim Maksimych - they say, he will go to Persia, where, quite likely, he will die on the road. Based on these words Pechorin, the film director Roman Khrushch and builds his narrative.
Pechorin (Stanislav Rudinsky), being at death, remembers about his life, about those meetings that were in it, and about the mistakes that he made. The film presents all the main storylines of the novel and its characters: Maxim Maksimych (Alexander Korshunov), Grushnitsky (Ilya Shcherbinin), Werner (Dmitry Podnozov), Mary (Barbarbara Sudets), Vera (Roxana Kadyrova. The past mercilessly invades the memories of the dying hero of the film, and makes him bitterly regret his mistakes. Being on his deathbed, Pechorin unwittingly rethinks everything he lived, finally realizing how meaningless his game with life was. close

Roman Mysteries is a television series based on the series of children's historical novels by Caroline Lawrence. It is reportedly the most expensive British children's TV series to date at £1 million per hour.
The series began filming in June 2006 and was first broadcast from 8 May 2007. The series is divided into "scrolls", each based on one book, starting with The Secrets of Vesuvius. The stories are told in the same order as the book series, except for book 6, The Twelve Tasks of Flavia Gemina, which is transposed to the second season. Books 11 and 12 were not adapted, and the series ends with the adaptation of Book 13. Each scroll consists of two half-hour episodes. The first scroll guest-starred Simon Callow as Pliny the Elder.
On 22 May 2007, after just two episodes, Anne Foy announced on CBBC on BBC One that the show has been postponed due to recent events in the news and would return later in the year on CBBC on BBC One. Since "The Pirates of Pompeii" was about children being kidnapped, the postponement was most likely due to the then recent disappearance of Madeleine McCann. On 19 June the series began broadcasting again from the beginning.
Filming for the second season began on 13 August 2007. The episodes are based on the novels The Gladiators from Capua, The Twelve Tasks of Flavia Gemina, The Colossus of Rhodes, The Fugitive from Corinth and The Slave-girl from Jerusalem. close
