The First World War in the Soviet Union was not remembered. The situation has not changed much these days. What we know about World War I today is largely based on how the war was presented in Soviet history textbooks.
Yet the significance of this great but forgotten war for the subsequent history of the world is truly enormous. The author of the film TV journalist Victor Pravdyuk decided to raise archival documents, eyewitness accounts, read diaries and letters, silent witnesses of that era, in order to present to contemporaries the history of the First World War and the exploits of its heroes as truthfully as possible. Could Russia have won that war? How would the world change if he won? What forces and why were not interested in her victory?

As for Timur’s other talent, a great creator and transformer, this is much less talked about, and the film Tamerlane. The Steppe Architect fills this gap in the story of the outstanding Mongol.
The text from the author reads Sergei Chonishvili. close
