The project attempts to understand the causes of the Afghan war (1979-1989) and the most truthful coverage of all its stages. On a cold day on December 12, 1979, a narrow circle of members of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee discussed the situation in Afghanistan. After long hesitations, four people (Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, Andrei Gromyko, Dmitry Ustinov) made a fateful decision to send troops to Afghanistan. Thus began the Afghan campaign, the first and only military operation conducted by the Soviet Union outside the Warsaw Pact, which became the longest and most "forgotten" war in Soviet history.

Alexey Pivovarov and NTV channel present the documentary “June 22”. Fatal decisions, timed to the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
The film continues the military theme that Alexey Pivovarov has already developed in such films as "Second percussion. Vlasov's betrayed army", "Rzhev. Unknown Battle of Georgy Zhukov", "Brest. "Serf heroes". However, unlike previous projects, in this, in addition to recreated large-scale historical reconstructions and computer graphics, which allows, along with newsreels, better to imagine the events of those years, there are some features. The most important thing is that in the making of the film "June 22." Fatal decisions were also taken by German historians and journalists, whose views on the causes of the outbreak of the war may differ somewhat from those adopted in official Soviet history.
So how did the Soviet Union become completely unprepared for war on June 22, 1941? Is it true that Stalin believed Hitler and rejected any reports from Soviet intelligence, which was claimed to have given the exact date of the attack months before the war began? Authors of the film "June 22". Fatal decisions trace the whole chain of events that began in 1938, with the Munich Treaty, and led to the beginning of one of the bloodiest wars in world history.
The original documents of that era will be read in the film actor Mikhail Efremov. close

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey". close

Filled with shocking footage, and anchored by the surprisingly deep and gentle characters of the gorillas themselves, Virunga is a galvanizing call to action around an ongoing political and environmental crisis in the Congo. close
