In 1991, the USSR ceased to exist. A state that achieved stability in a few years, created a workable economy, took a leading position on the world stage suddenly, literally in one decade, collapsed. How and why did this happen? Documentary film "USSR". The collapse of the empire, created Vladimir Chernyshev, a columnist for NTV, aims to understand what actually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Where did the systemic crisis that people like to talk about today come from, and what secrets and true causes of the country’s decline today, on the contrary, they prefer to keep silent?

In the center of the history of the relationship between Emperor Alexander II and Princess Catherine Dolgorukova. Their complicated romance began when she was 18 and he was 49. And if the age difference was more a factor in their convergence, then the difference in positions, it seems, could not allow them to connect. But Russian emperors have always decided who is equal to them. And this woman came close to Alexander II for 16 years. The personal life of the liberating king was never boring: in his youth he had an affair with Queen Victoria, but the interests of the throne were above passion, and soon he had a relationship with the Princess of Hesse of Darmstadt, which ended in marriage, eight children and treason with a young Dolgorukova.
The emperor placed the princess in the Winter Palace, ordered to connect her rooms with his chambers with an elevator, and lived a difficult life of an aging man with a young mistress. When Empress Maria Alexandrovna died, Alexander II fulfilled his long-held promise and secretly married Princess Dolgorukova. Before the assassination of Grinevitsky remained 8 months. close

In 1985, a three-part television biopic “Sophia Kovalevskaya” about the life of the first woman in Russia who became a corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences was released on television.
The great Russian mathematician Sophia Kovalevskaya lived a short but bright life. She was only 40 years old (born in 1850, died in 1891), but during this time there were many dramatic events.
Everything was against her professional choice and desire to go on a scientific path. Mathematics is still considered a “male science”, which requires a special mindset that is not characteristic of a woman. But if today the teacher of mathematics in school can be an object of admiration and respect, then a century and a half ago, society imposed an unspoken taboo on the lessons of the weaker sex in mathematical science. And Sophia Kovalevskaya broke this blockade. For a scientific career, she had to solve not only complex mathematical problems, but also life problems. In this list there is even a sham marriage, which gave the opportunity to get a good education abroad.
The pages of the mother’s biography are leafed through by the daughter of Sofia Kovalevskaya, on whose memoirs the plot of the biographical tape is built. The film contains four episodes from the real history of Sofia Vasilyevna, when she was engaged in commerce with her husband, and then broke with him and became the first female academic in tsarist Russia.
Working on a painting
The dramaturgy of the script by Dmitry Vasiliu and Boris Dobrodeev is based on the attempts of Sophia Kovalevskaya’s daughter to figure out who her mother was outside of science and social activities. The female image of the great scientist in the film was recreated by young Elena Safonova. Her partners in the film were excellent actors Aristarkh Livanov (Maxim Kovalevsky), Yuri Solomin (Prince), Ivar Kalnynsh (Victor Jaclar), Elena Solovey (Anna Jaclar), Alexander Filippenko (Fyodor Dostoevsky), Lembit Ulfsak (Leffler), Algimantas Masiulis (Carl Weierstras) and others.
The film was shot at the film studio “Lenfilm” by the Leningrad director Ayan Shakhmaliyeva (in 1956 she received a diploma of the directorial faculty of VGIK, a graduate of the creative studio of Lev Kuleshov).
The music was written by Isaac Schwartz.
In 1985, the biographical tape of Soviet filmmakers “Sophia Kovalevskaya” was awarded the Main Prize at the International Festival of Multi-Series Television Films in Pianchano Therma (Italy). close

“And Shepilov who joined them” is a documentary drama based on true historical facts. The story revolves around the failed attempt to remove Nikita Khrushchev from the post of head of state in 1957.
Dmitry Trofimovich Shepilov was an intelligent and educated man, a talented scientist and military man who passed the entire war and rose to the rank of major-general. At the end of the war, close to Stalin, he worked as editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Pravda", entered the Central Committee of the party, became a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences, later - Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Being already an associate of Khrushchev, he took part in the attempt of Molotov, Malenkov, Kaganovich and others to remove Khrushchev, criticizing him for establishing his own “cult of personality”. Shepilov’s surname was named among the members of the “factional anti-party group” that opposed the “Leninist course.” The statement about the “rebellion” ended “... and Shepilov joined them.” This phrase later became almost winged, turning into a kind of cliché, from which Shepilov could not get rid of.
The film “And Shepilov who joined them” uses materials from the archives, memoirs of Shepilov himself called “Unattached”, memories of his relatives and participants of those ancient events. close

Andrei Chikatilo is perhaps the most famous serial maniac of the Soviet era. The court proved that he had committed 53 murders, while according to the investigation, the criminal accounted for more than 65 victims. It took 12 years to catch the elusive Ripper. And psychiatrist Alexander Bukhanovsky played a significant role in his arrest and subsequent proof of guilt.
