The film is dedicated to Victor Tsoi, who would have turned 50 on June 21, 2012. Victor Tsoi lived in an era of change, when one reality was replaced by another. He was one of the creators of the new world. His life is a set of paradoxes. A half-blooded boy who grew up in Leningrad, a rocker whose name rattled all over the Union, a musician who became a hero of the era - he sang, and millions sang along with him. When the news reported about a car accident near Riga on August 15, 1990, many were surprised to learn that Viktor Tsoi was only 28 years old! And he managed to live such a big life in such a small period of time. “Tsoi is a figure like an angel,” said Boris Grebenshchikov. Perhaps that’s why his fans say “Tsoi is alive” because angels don’t die. close

This man is on the list of 100 great diplomats who left a mark on the history of mankind. It was he, Count Ignatieff, at the end of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, who signed the Treaty of San Stefano, which liberated Bulgaria from five hundred years of Turkish slavery. Thanks to him, not only Bulgaria, but also Serbia, Montenegro and Romania became independent states. Without it, the map of not only Europe but also Russia would look different. In Bulgaria, Ignatiev is a national hero. At home, his name is almost unknown to anyone.

Documentary biographical film from the series "Secrets of the Century" dedicated to the 90th anniversary of aviation colonel general Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub. Ivana Kozhedub – three times Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-as of the Great Patriotic War. At the age of 23, he becomes one of the most effective fighter pilots, sometimes shooting down 2-3 German planes a day. What is the secret of this young guy, the son of the poorest peasants of the Ukrainian village Obrahievka, who, along with Pokryshkin and Zhukov, became one of the 3 three times Heroes of the USSR? On his account by the end of the war was already 62 enemy aircraft — so many could not boast of no one else not only in Soviet aviation, but in the entire aviation of the allies. Ivan Kozhedub proved his superiority over American fighter pilots once again in the 50s, during the Korean War. Officially, it is still accepted that Ivan Nikitovich was sent there as commander of the 324th Fighter Aviation Division (64 corps), but he did not make combat sorties. However, having studied the testimony of his relatives and fellow soldiers who take part in the film, requesting documents from the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense, our film crew makes a sensational conclusion - Ivan Kozhedub, contrary to Moscow's orders, not only personally fought in Korea with yesterday's American allies, but was once shot down in the sky over Korea. Many materials of the film - diaries and personal letters of Ivan Kozhedub from the family archives, a personal file, a credit card, award sheets and unique photo documents from the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, confirming Kozhedub's participation in the Korean War, will be shown to the viewer for the first time. close
