Oleg Menshikov has a reputation as an elite, closed and unavailable actor, although he himself claims that all these beautiful labels were put on him by journalists. In life he is very different... What? Menshikov is like a woven of contradictions. He says he is boring and lazy on the rise, but spends most of his time traveling. Planes, trains, buses and roadside cafes are the true attributes of his “star” life. Despite its lightness and charm, it can be harsh and even cruel. Oleg Evgenyevich broke off friendly relations with half of creative Moscow, but – amazing thing! – even the offended continue to insist that he is a genius, which is impossible to understand. close

Through a focus on the life of Dalton Trumbo (1905-1976), this film examines the effects on individuals and families of a congressional pursuit of Hollywood Communists after World War II.

Actors read his letters; his children and friends remember and comment. Archive photos, newsreels and interviews add texture. Written by close

When we regret moreVladimir Vysotsky is a separate multi-valued unit of not only Soviet culture, but also the Soviet way of life, a certain social stage. When we regret his difficult fate of the people’s bard, about all the alluvious and unnecessary that was in his far from angelic existence, we should not forget that the Vysotsky we know is a unique combination of all his advantages and disadvantages. In a different fate, Vysotsky would have been different. Grieving over the early death of this amazing man, it is worth congratulating all of us at the same time that he was...
