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

After many military successes during the reign of Catherine, General Suvorov broke with her successor, Paul I, the Mad Emperor, over questions regarding army policy. He went into retirement and wrote "The Science of Victory," containing maxims such as "Swiftness of movement accompanies victory," and "the real general is he who defeats the enemy before reaching him." The czar recalled Suvorov to become the leader of the joint armies of Russia and Austria against Napoleon. close

Saint Petersburg, 1858. A group of composers known as The Five meet at Balakirev's. Young Modest Mussorgsky, both a civil servant and a musician, has become a fixture there. He tells about the first opera he plans to compose. Then he goes to the country where he discovers the lowly conditions of the peasants and the bloody conflicts with the rich land owners. He works on Gogol's 'The Marriage', trying to render into music the natural accents of the play's naturalistic dialogue. But his efforts do not pan out. On the other hand, he starts writing his opera on the story of Boris Godunov. The Marinsky Theatre refuses to stage the work. The Five, and Mussorgsky among them, are libeled and the group starts disintegrating. When 'Boris Godunov' is finally performed in 1874, it is a popular success. close
