The 1930s and 1940s were the period when Soviet cinema produced historical heroic films. The country needed heroes with high ideals, capable of rallying the people before a great threat and entrusting their lives to strong leaders. That is why at this time they filmed Minin and Pozharsky, Alexander Nevsky, Admiral Nakhimov, Bogdan Khmelnitsky and Peter I.
Heroic past of Russia
The film “Minin and Pozharsky”, directed by Mikhail Doller and Vsevolod Pudovkin, tells about one of the most dramatic periods in Russian history: the very existence of the Russian state was threatened. In the autumn of 1610, when the Polish army deceived into the Kremlin, the butcher-merchant Kuzma Minin (Alexander Khanov) toured the Russian villages, which lie in ruin. Being a member of the Alyabievsk People’s Militia, he sees how scattered and few are the opponents of False Dmitry II and how despicable and dangerous it is to leave Mother Russia to the flow and plunder.
At the same time, Dmitry Pozharsky (Boris Livanov), a prince of the Suzdal family, is fighting the enemy in the first Nizhny Novgorod militia, which fails because of betrayal at the very top. The crushing defeat because of the atamans Zarutsky, Trubetsky (Sergei Komarov) and Lyapunov only in the hands of Khodkevich (Anatoly Goryunov), Orlov (Lev Sverdlin) and the Polish king Sigismund III (Mikhail Astangov).
In the summer of 1611, Minin reaches Nizhny Novgorod, finds Pozharsky and delivers a fiery speech, which is designed to assemble a new militia and drive the Russian enemy from the ground. All the gathered cheerfully supported the idea and chose the merchant as the leader, but money was needed for the uniform and maintenance of the whole army, which nobody carried. Then Kuzma cheated, offering to appoint a ransom for the wives of eminent citizens, after which the rich Nizhny Novgorod paid money, as long as their noble relatives were not taken into bondage.
The second militia was recruited and moved to Moscow, where in August 1612 the interventionists were defeated on the head. To prevent the expulsion of the Poles from the country, the traitors send to the Fireman, who managed to neutralize, otherwise it is unknown how history would have turned. The finale of the film has long been known from history books. The film is distinguished by meticulous adherence to historical facts, so unexpected directorial moves were not supposed here.
Epic sweep in severe conditions
The film was shot at a difficult time, so the artistic means available to directors and operators were extremely poor. However, they managed to make a large-scale film, which involved hundreds of extras for battle scenes. The most significant episodes are accompanied by choral singing and orchestral music. There was nothing to build and decorate expensive pavilions or restore the appearance of Moscow in the early 17th century, so most of the scenes in the capital were filmed in Rostov the Great.
For the contribution to the development of Soviet cinema and the correct interpretation of events, the directors of the film Minin and Pozharsky were awarded the Stalin Prize of the I degree. close

Anton Ivanovich Voronov is a highly respected professor at the Moscow Conservatoire, who places the music of Bach above everything else and regards it as the ultimate yardstick by which other musical accomplishments must be measured. His daughter, Serafima, is an aspiring singer with great potential, and her father’s anger is aroused when she begins singing in the operetta composed by Aleksei Mukhin, thus abandoning what he considers the higher calling of opera. Mukhin’s work, however, demands a high level of ability from his soloist, and Anton Ivanovich is persuaded of the legitimacy of operetta as a musical genre when, in a dream, he is visited by Johann Sebastian Bach himself, who tells him that ‘people need all kinds of music’. close

Twelve-minute black-and-white cartoon by Mikhail Tsekhanovsky “Phone”, filmed during the Great Patriotic War on the eponymous poem-fairy tale of Korney Chukovsky is a unique historical monument of Soviet cinematography. There are very few such cartoons created in the most difficult time for our country: only five.
These were difficult times for film production, lack of personnel, technical means, energy and much more. Despite the difficulties, the film turned out to be funny, expressive and high-quality: it brought a lot of joy to children. Now this film is of particular importance for Russian animation and is extremely interesting for viewing.
Human Mission
On duty for urgent messages daily receives by phone dozens of various messages about the needs of representatives of the fabulous animal world. He calls completely different animals: from such huge as the Elephant, who urgently needed five or six poods of chocolate, to tiny Blues, who have very different, but also very important requests. All of them, Elephants, Crocodiles, Gazelles, Rabbits, Monkeys and other animals, need constant human care. That is why telegraph wires were extended and telephone booths were installed in every forest.
Link
Answering phone calls is a very tedious task, and you need to have a truly angelic patience to not only listen to them without confusing anything, but also to have time to complete all orders on time. After all, the forest is a place where there are many different useful things, but the most necessary ones are always lacking. Here galoshes, for example, which are an exquisite delicacy for Crocodiles, do not grow on trees, and such a thing as gloves in any forest can not be found with fire during the day! And what, poor Crocodiles to sit hungry, and Rabbits to dig the ground in search of delicious roots unprotected feet? It is not far from an environmental disaster! Therefore, the duty on urgent messages is the most important responsible post.
"Highlight"
Wonderful artists who drew this charming cartoon under the guidance of Vera Tsekhanovskaya and Ivan Ivanov-Vano, created a whole palette of shades of black, white and gray on the screen. The original solution of the script in this film was the presence in the frame of the author of the poem, answering by phone all the questions drawn by animals. close

The German conquerors are above nothing, not even the slaughter of small children, to break the spirit of their Soviet captives. Suffering more than most is Olga (Nataliya Uzhviy), a Soviet partisan who returns to the village to bear her child, only to endure the cruelest of arbitrary tortures at the hands of the Nazis. Eventually, the villagers rise up against their oppressors-but unexpectedly do not wipe them out, electing instead to force the surviving Nazis to stand trial for their atrocities in a postwar "people's court."
