The film "Rurik: Lost By" 2012 production from the director (who acted as a screenwriter and the main character of the film), previously known for his humorous performances, Mikhail Zadornov.
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.
