Srubov is a part of CHEKA, the secret police Lenin established after the Bolshevik Revolution. They arrest, interview for a minute, try in ten seconds, and execute intellectuals, aristocrats, Jews, clergy, and their families. In the building basement, five people at a time are shot as they stand naked facing wooden doors. No one to remember their last words; no martyrs, just anonymous bodies. Daily, the kangaroo court, the executions, the loading of bodies onto wagons. Srubov is cold, distant, sexually dysfunctional, and a deep thinker, hated by former friends and his family. As he tries to reason the nature of revolution and the purpose of CHEKA, he slowly goes mad. close

The Russian full-length musical “Tartuff” directed by Jan Fried was created based on the comedy play by J.-B. Moliere. The film was filmed between August and October 1991, and appeared on screens in 1992.
In the work on the musical, the translation of the play by M. Donskoy is used, the songs of the composer G. Gladkov sound in it. The main plot and morality of the comedy were preserved as much as possible, changing only a few minor details.
Mikhail Boyarsky plays the main role, playing a young charismatic man who does not shun hypocrisy, but causes genuine interest and sympathy among the audience. The name of the young hypocrite Tyurtuf over time became a household name. Tartuf, with his incredible talent for gaining the trust of the powerful, finds common ground with Orgon, the head of a respectable family, and enjoys his indulgence. Fascinated by his “buddy,” Orgon wants to marry his beautiful daughter Mariana against her will. Tartuf is capable of seduction and betrayal, he lies, while maintaining an innocent appearance. In fact, his target is Elmira, the wife of the trusting Orgon, who is much younger than her husband.
Features of staging
• The explanation of Elmira and Tartuf is striking in its extreme rudeness and frankness.
• Damis does not treat his stepmother like a son, he is jealous of Tartuf, whom he hates.
• The role of Mariana’s maid, Doreena, in the film is negligible, although in the play she is present in almost every episode.
• In the final scene, Tartuf appears undefeated. He appears in this episode not as a specific person, but as the embodiment of immortal human hypocrisy. close

Writer/director Sergey Kuchkov's obscure Russian science fiction effort from 1993, simply called MONSTERS in English, has a photographer joining a team of scientists and a couple of military dudes to check out a town where a nuclear meltdown has led to a mass evacuation (shades of Chernobyl) and the ludicrous mutation of rats, snakes, crayfish, crows and a hopelessly unfrightening tortoise. With FX that looked primitive in FOOD OF THE GODS (1976) rendered even more primitively, this is worth it for the tortoise, which is meant to be scary as our protagonists run (???) from it and try to avoid its rubbery head as the thing looms in a window by way of a very obvious broomstick. close
