Lenfilm's most recent major production spins a kind of historical fantasy based on real incidents that's full of ominous implications for today. One night, a patrol rushes into the chambers of the Russian prince Pavel, son of the Empress Catherine; the Empress has died, and Pavel is to be anointed the new Tsar. Thought to be feeble-minded at best and crazy at worst, Pavel soon lives up to his enemies' fears: he dismisses long-serving courtiers, demands that peasants only work three days a week, and declares that state officials should start their days at 5 am. Soon, it seems that everyone who can is trying to hatch some kind of plot against him - including his own sons. Sumptuously designed, POOR POOR PAVEL constrasts the imperial splendor of the court with the sordid atmosphere of conspiracies and backstabbing that comes to define these characters' lives. close

What about the documentary
In an effort to find the legendary truth, the author of the tape covered many thousands of kilometers. And all this with one single purpose: to understand the origins of the Russian state. Who is the well-known Rurik? Who were our distant and glorious ancestors? Trying to answer all these important questions, Zadornov opens the veil over many other secrets, which were not allowed to expose for many, many centuries of the existence of Russia. Who are the Russians? The Varangians were not Scandinavians at all.
The creators of the documentary "Rurik: Lost Byz"
In the creation of the film, Mikhail Zadornov contributed: Denis Kuritsyn (operator), Oleg Troyanovsky (composer) and others.
Why the cartoon "Rurik: Lost Beast" will love everyone
