In the 30s of the last century, Soviet crews made several ultra-long flights at once, crossing the Arctic Circle and the Arctic. Their feats forever changed many established scientific theories and allowed us to seriously think about the development of the territory of eternal cold.
The people who made the Earth round did many incredible things for that time. Chkalov, Levanevsky, Gromov and other heroes of domestic aviation did not think about their safety - they just did it. The authors of the documentary found unique manuscripts of pilot Baidukov, the second Chkalov pilot, which opened the veil over some secrets. close

We think we know big cats pretty well, don’t we? Well actually, we don’t.
In this unprecedented series, recent scientific discoveries shed new light on the extraordinary prehistory of big cats and their ascent to world domination. How did these giant carnivores survive the ice age extinctions that wiped out the sabretooths, and persist into the present day? When we learn that the jaguar was once found in UK, the tiger ranged from Siberia to Turkey, and the lion, far from being African was a true worldwide phenomenon, it’s clear our view of cats has been blinkered. What happened? Brand-new night vision systems, super slow-motion cameras, and cutting-edge computer-generated imagery of a bygone age take us on a tantalising trail of evidence to answer these questions, revealing incredible and surprising stories of the world’s most charismatic predators: the big cats. close

Predators. Teeth and Claws" shows the process of evolution of predatory animals, thanks to which they developed their methods of fighting for protection and foraging. Kevin Lima and his unique shots, which abound in this film, show the authentic life of various predatory animals in the natural environment. The director compares predators to a man who has armed himself with a knife and an axe since ancient times because his own teeth and claws are too weak. A person cannot tear the flesh of game with them, which cannot be taken from lions and hyenas, capable of easily coping with prey with their powerful fangs. close

This man is on the list of 100 great diplomats who left a mark on the history of mankind. It was he, Count Ignatieff, at the end of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, who signed the Treaty of San Stefano, which liberated Bulgaria from five hundred years of Turkish slavery. Thanks to him, not only Bulgaria, but also Serbia, Montenegro and Romania became independent states. Without it, the map of not only Europe but also Russia would look different. In Bulgaria, Ignatiev is a national hero. At home, his name is almost unknown to anyone.

Documentary series (United Kingdom, 2004), 7 episodes.
Terry Jones, as always incendiary and humorous, talks about the inhabitants of medieval Britain - from peasant to king - their way of life and views.
Episode 1. Peasant. About how the plague epidemic led to the enrichment of peasants and their uprising.
Episode 2. Monk. The life of a monk, protected from the vain world, seems to be an ideal of simplicity and piety. The main task of the monk is prayer and work. But the medieval church could not avoid the influx of ministers pursuing their own personal selfish goals.
Episode 3. Minstrel. Being a minstrel in the Middle Ages meant more than just playing and singing. Minstrels had to play many roles: entertain the owners, raise the attack of soldiers, even spy. These medieval cheerleaders were not as carefree as they seem.
Episode 4. Knight. Knighthood is the personification of courage, loyalty to duty, nobility towards a woman. Were these the knights of the Middle Ages? What was knighthood in its heyday?
Episode 5. Alchemist. The Middle Ages are considered a time of ignorance and superstition: the Church suppressed the desire for knowledge, medicine killed rather than cured, and people did not know what shape the Earth was. But what really happened? Maybe we just don't know the past well?
Episode 6. Robber. Legends have brought to us stories of noble forest robbers who personified the hope of justice for the medieval poor. Was the law so inaccessible to the common man? What was the legal system in medieval England?
Episode 7. King. There are many dubious facts in history. What do we know about medieval kings? Richard the Lionheart is a hero, connoisseur of art, Christian. Richard II is a narcissistic tyrant suffering from megalomania. Richard III is an evil and demonic hunchback. Is that true? The film attempts to dispel legends and myths created over the centuries.
Episode 8. Girl. About what was supposed to be a girl in the Middle Ages, and about the principles of morality that should be observed by young women. close

In the episode about defences, the narrator explains that humans have no real natural defences, save for their big brains. close
