Hypotheses about the variants of the universe could not ignore such an important area of knowledge as the structure of the universe. The assumption that the space of our universe is not three-dimensional, but has a much larger number of dimensions, is not only curious, but quite acceptable. After all, the geometry of space is the main aspect of the operation of physical laws in it. The present idea, supplemented by the results of some experiments, is quite interesting and popular even for amateurs.

Leon Trotsky is one of the most sinister figures in the history of twentieth-century Russia. His name is associated with the key acts of the tragedy of the state – the so-called proletarian revolution, the catastrophic Brest-Litovsk peace, the Civil War, the “red terror” and the plunder of the country.
A sensational documentary political detective refutes traditional ideas about what happened in Russia on the eve and shortly after the abdication of Nicholas II, about the leaders and inspirers of the October coup and foreign intervention, about relations within the Bolshevik elite – and about the previously unknown circumstances of Trotsky’s expulsion from the USSR.
The authors, using unique documentary materials and foreign research, for the first time on the screen “uncover” the secret ties of “Red Bonaparte” with the banking international, whose strategic plans served Trotsky. close

This remarkable trove of color footage, assembled from far-flung private and state collections, presents Hitler's Europe as never seen before. Amateur film enthusiasts - soldiers, tourists, Hitler's own pilot, even Hitler's mistress, Eva Braun - began experimenting with color film in the late 1930s, their camera eye recording the Third Reich from every angle. Some of this film was only recently uncovered in former Soviet-bloc archives, hidden for almost 60 years; all of it, thanks to digital technology, has been newly transferred to video with surprising clarity. (This documentary was produced with two different narratives, both an English and German language version.) close

Stretching from the Stone Age to the year 2000, Simon Schama's Complete History of Britain does not pretend to be a definitive chronicle of the turbulent events which buffeted and shaped the British Isles. What Schama does do, however, is tell the story in vivid and gripping narrative terms, free of the fustiness of traditional academe, personalising key historical events by examining the major characters at the centre of them. Not all historians would approve of the history depicted here as shaped principally by the actions of great men and women rather than by more abstract developments, but Schama's way of telling it is a good deal more enthralling as a result.
Schama successfully gives lie to the idea that the history of Britain has been moderate and temperate, passing down the generations as stately as a galleon, taking on board sensible ideas but steering clear of sillier, revolutionary ones. Nonsense. Schama retells British history the way it was--as bloody, convulsive, precarious, hot-blooded and several times within an inch of haring off onto an entirely different course. Schama seems almost to delight in the goriness of history. Themes returned to repeatedly include the wars between the Scots and the Irish and the Catholic/Protestant conflicts--only the Irish question remains unresolved by the new millennium. As Britain becomes a constitutional monarchy, Schama talks less of Kings and Queens but of poets and idea-makers like Orwell. Still, with his pungent, direct manner and against an evocative visual and aural backdrop, Schama makes history seem as though it happened yesterday, the bloodstains not yet dry. close

Twenty-first-century North America. People have reached the most remote corners of the continent, greatly expanded the boundaries of modern technology. However, the first man set foot on these lands not so long ago, only 14 thousand years ago. At that time, North America belonged to other creatures, the size of which corresponded to its vast territory. They were real giants, swift and ferocious, whose lives are now lost in the centuries. The amazing work of British scientists, based on a detailed and comprehensive study of past eras, as well as the latest achievements of computer and cinematic technology will allow you to travel back in the centuries to the time of the last Ice Age long before the appearance of the first big city. Look at what is happening through the eyes of primitive people! During the Ice Age, the surface of North America was covered with an ice sheet more than three kilometers thick. But as the continent warmed, the ice shell began to shrink. Passages began to open along the coast and among the mountains. Primitive people began to migrate south. The land was transformed, new green plains appeared, numerous rivers and lakes were formed. And on this land began to dominate other animals, more adapted to these conditions. Decent hunters and dangerous rivals, even for such powerful animals as mammoths. . . close
