The path of biathlete from Russia Anton Shipulin to the gold medal at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi began with simple steps: "I decided to win the championship of the district - won! I decided to win the city championship – I won! It is very difficult for many people to always follow this logic. But Anton was waiting for a test that he could not overcome, at the Olympics itself: I broke ahead, stand up for position, first shot, second, third, all – on target. The fourth shot is ahead. How can you be true to your dream, overcome any difficulties and defeats for its sake, when everything is decided by some moments? How do you hold on and not give up? This is the story of the hero and his family.

These people survived the Great Patriotic War and immediately ended up in the "death camps" on Kolyma. At least two million people were captured in Germany. This was considered a betrayal of the Motherland, Article 58. The death camps, an innovation of the NKVD, worked flawlessly. It was designed to destroy the “enemies of the people.” No, they didn’t kill, people just couldn’t stand it themselves, beasts and destroyed each other, someone died of disease, cold and hunger. In the film, several rehabilitated prisoners talk about their cruel fate, about what few people know, about what was kept in strict secrecy for many years. These are the nuances of the “Zack” life, wild and cruel. Film 1 – The Story of a Trust Semi-destroyed wooden buildings, empty eye sockets of windows, barracks, stars on towers, a rickety palisade, a wooden bridge - whether to freedom or in conclusion - this is all that remains of one of the countless Stalinist camps. “The stone promised to keep the secret” now protects only the countless bodies of the regime’s victims buried here. It all started in the '30s. Movie 2 - "Face to Face" Freelance workers, former prisoners and children born in the camps continue to testify. The late 30s and early 40s were full of important events for prisoners. At first, changes were expected in connection with the removal of Yezhov and the appointment of Beria. But instead of changes, there were mass shootings. Movie 3 – “The War After the War” From the mountain, on which lies the old cracked “cup” of the high-voltage transmission line, the remains of the camp are visible. Chronicle - soldiers of the Great Patriotic War are met with Victory and flowers. In parallel with these trains there were other trains that did not meet with flowers. Those who traveled in them - prisoners of war, repatriates - from German captivity were sent to Soviet captivity, to camps. They wanted to return to their homeland, but instead received a tribunal and a prison. Denunciations began again, the regime was tightened, handcuffs and numbers were introduced, which now replaced names. Underground organizations were created among prisoners, people went on the run. They were shot, the corpses of the murdered fugitives lay unburied for weeks to intimidate, but they still ran away - chased the excitement of freedom, human dignity. Death was a common occurrence... The authors dedicated this film without guilt to the murdered, our brothers and sisters, who rested anonymously on the cold Kolyma land. close

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. Viewers will see unique archival video materials, which capture rehearsals, concerts, tours and interviews of Viktor Tsoi to various TV channels. We will visit the places where the talent of the musician was born, talk with his colleagues, friends and like-minded people. close
