About the outstanding Uzbek poet - democrat-educator Zakirjan Furkat.
Furkat (pseudonym; real name and surname - Zakirjan Khalmukhamedov) (1858, Kokand, - 1909, Yarkand), Uzbek poet, thinker, publicist. He studied at a madrasah in Kokand, where he studied Arabic and Persian languages and classical poetry of the East; here he began to write lyrical and satirical poems. In 1889 he left for Tashkent. From 1891 he traveled extensively (to the countries of South Asia and the Balkan Peninsula). In 1894, persecuted by the nobility ridiculed by him, Furkat was forced to settle in Yarkend (Kashgaria, now Xinjiang Uygur district of China), where he was engaged in translation work and compiling a collection of his works. Lyrical gazelles Furkat are stylistically original, marked by the freshness of images, affirm the dignity of a person, resist religious mysticism and asceticism. Satirical poems denounce the ignorant self-interested nobility, the merchants, the clergy. In verses of social content, the humanist poet mourns the hard life of the working people, condemns unjust social order. Together with Mukimi, Furkat headed a galaxy of progressive poets (Zavki, Avaz, etc.). Speaking as the head of the educational movement in public thought and literature, Furkat revealed the importance of Russian culture for the development of his native land and its intelligentsia. Enlightenment ideas of Furkat, his associates and followers played a significant role in the development of Uzbek literature, philosophy and pedagogy, in the struggle against feudal-patriarchal institutions. close

Not much time passed, and the city again found itself in the ring of fire – this time the Soviet troops repelled the attacks of the Wehrmacht.
About what happened in the summer of 1941, the documentary recalls eyewitnesses and border guard Vasily Lagodin, the last surviving member of the defense of Przemyshl. close

The 2011 season. 4 issues.
Directors: Alexander Shuvikov, Daria Khrenova, Anna Golikova.
Episode 1. The 60s: Thaw, or Secret Strategies for Renewal
The main film director of the thaw era should probably be considered Khrushchev. With one caveat: he did not control the "most important of the arts" as his predecessor, Stalin, did. Khrushchev only occasionally interfered in the film process, ceding the main role to officials of the governors. It is with him that the hardware style of cinema management is formed, which later will lead to the appearance of "shelf" films. The film is attended by Alexei German, Sergey Solovyov, Vitaly Melnikov, Armen Medvedev and others.
Episode 2. '70s: The golden age of stagnation. Philip Ermash and Vladimir Baskakov
Behind the well-established system of production of “gray” films of the 70s was a man who is not without reason called a producer – both in scope and intuition.

Episode 4. 90s: Change of fate
With the appointment of Armen Medvedev as film minister, Bulat Okudzhava’s prophecy comes true: “Soon all my friends will break into the leadership, and then it will probably become easier for me to live.” True, freedom, which so dreamed of filmmakers, turns into permissiveness and a new "shelf" - now not censorship, but market. The rental system is destroyed: in cinemas they sell furniture. The situation is saved by festivals that turn into parallel rentals. The state becomes a philanthropist, which finds expression in the support of the low-budget project of Gorky Studio. It remains to be seen who will become the new most important filmmaker - the minister, the critic or the producer? The film is attended by Vadim Abdrashitov, Sergey Solovyov, Vladimir Menshov, Vitaly Melnikov, Andrei Plakhov, Ivan Okhlobystin, Alexei Fedorchenko, Alexei Serebryakov and others. close
