Praised for its fine photography and production design if not its narrative, Sergei Bondarchuk directed this adaptation of the tale by Alexander Pushkin. Boris Godunov came to the Czarist throne at the end of the 16th century, after the original heir to Ivan the Terrible had died. At first, things went well for Godunov (played by Bondarchuk), but when the Russian people began to believe he had killed Ivan the Terrible's son in order to gain the throne, an alliance sprang up against the new Czar. Events continued to spin out of control as a young monk was presented as the son Godunov had supposedly killed. Now he was openly accused of failing an assassination attempt, which seems to be even worse than succeeding. In addition to these woes, Boris Godunov began to suffer serious health problems. So much for the joys of kingship. close

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

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

Publisher Valery Kudryavtsev almost accidentally gets into a secular salon, where the visiting medium - the dazzling Lydia Romanovskaya-Bogarne - gives a session of spiritualism.
During the session, the skeptic Kudryavtsev suddenly sees the divisional general of the army of Napoleon Eugène Bogarnet. It will be as bright as a flash, a vision – and from this moment on, Kudryavtsev’s life will turn into a continuous adventure for several days: a detective and a thriller at the same time. The events around him will turn into a sinister carousel. And he's going to need a lot of endurance and willpower to endure whatever comes his way these days.
He does not know that today is inextricably linked to yesterday. It all began in 1812 – with the Battle of Borodino and from the night when the French divisional general Eugene Bogarnet, sleeping in the Savvino-Storozhevsky monastery near Zvenigorod, saw in his cell the founder of this lavra, St. Sava, who had died 400 years before these events. Savva that night asked Bogarne not to ravage the monastery, and promised that then he would return home safe and sound. He obeyed, and what Saul had foretold happened to him. After Savva left the cell, in the place where he stood, there was an icon, which Bogarne found and took with him. And from this time begins the amazing story of the immortal historical relic, which influenced all who were its owner.
The fact that his life is now also closely connected with the mysterious icon, Valery Kudryavtsev began to understand only when he was captured by terrible, unthinkable events. He is betrayed by his best friend, he is accused of murder, he has to hide and act to solve many problems. He must save his daughter, protect his name, find the icon of Bogarnay, which in a strange, mystical way connects the events of the past and the present.
For the sake of this icon, very serious people lie, betray, kill, because they see only money in it. The Holy Icon has a different price. Her name is Love. And this, in the end, our hero will understand.
The history of Icon Bogarne is a small reflection of the history of Russia. When people, forgetting God, chase millions, they can only be saved the minute they stop and ask themselves: Why? No material goods in the world can replace one holy icon in the first minute of life.
The film takes place in parallel: modernity and historical events - from the Battle of Borodino to the terrible 1937. Everyone who, in one way or another, was associated with the icon of Bogarnet, will receive their own: from the Great Love to the imminent catastrophe. Depending on what a person wants to gain by touching the eternal, pure and holy. close
