XX century Never before has the world changed so much, never seen so devastating wars, under the cover of which even more terrible crimes were committed. A new word appears in the dictionary – “Genocide”. The term was coined in 1944 by Polish lawyer Rafael Lemkin. The real basis for this definition was the extermination of the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire. From 1877 to 1923, according to various estimates, from 1 to 1.5 million Armenians became victims of genocide. What's next? No conclusions have been drawn from this... And where did all this lead? close

Modern people cannot imagine life without television. Television, like every invention, has an author who first revealed it to the world. The documentary film "Zworykin-Muromets" Leonida Parfenova tells about Vladimir Kozmich Zworykin - a man who became famous in the United States and is completely unknown in his homeland in Russia, an inventor who stood at the origins of television.
The future father of television was born in 1889 in a small county Murom, the city where the legendary hero Ilya lived. He showed interest in technology early, and after graduating from a real school at home, in 1906 Zworykin went to St. Petersburg to enter the Imperial Institute of Technology. After graduating in 1912, he continued his studies in Paris.
The first experiments in the field of television, the main character of the film began to do even before the revolution, studying at the institute under the guidance of the famous professor B. L. Rosing.
The revolution changed the life of Vladimir Kozmich. Enlisted in the service of Kolchak, from whom he was engaged in the purchase of radio equipment in the United States, in 1919, Zworykin, after the arrest of Kolchak, remains in America, where his new life stage begins, which eventually made him a recognized specialist in the field of television.
The film "Zworykin Muromets" highlights all the highlights of the life of the inventor, whose name is inscribed in golden letters in the history of the world development of the television era. The main events of the biography of Vladimir Zvorykin were reconstructed by actors, and the role of the inventor himself was performed by a wonderful Russian actor, People's Artist of the USSR Sergey Shakurov. close

Documentary-game series about the Kronstadt uprising of 1921. At the end of February 1917, Kronstadt became the place on the map of the Russian Empire where the flames of the revolution broke out and from where it spread to other regions. The Baltic sailors were the first to revolt against the old government and established a new, Bolshevik one. So why did they rise up against the power of the Soviets even four years later?
The film recreates the events of that time, telling about the reasons that forced the sailors to take up arms again. The insurgency that began did not bother the authorities jokingly, and while the Kronstadts sought open and honest negotiations, the propaganda of the Bolsheviks had already declared them outside the law. close
