He was destined for a strange acting fate - to become the Master of the episode. He has more than a hundred films on his account - and all secondary roles. But secondary, in fact, not in acting. He was so brilliant on the screen that his supporting character always became the brightest character in the picture. Comedic talent of the actor began to appear in childhood. The Pugovkin family in the village of Kameshki, Yaroslavl region, was famous for their special bread solitude. It often happened that on holidays the villagers went not to the local club, but to them. There's feast and concerts. The crown number of the program, usually became the performance of the younger. Minka sang and danced in such a way that the village audience, who had been quite walking, sometimes fell with laughter in the most literal sense. Meanwhile, the acting fate of Mikhail Pugovkin could not work out. Right from the set of his first-ever film “The Artamonovs Case”, a talented boy is taken to the front.

How could an absolutely blind, illiterate peasant woman look into the past and future of her contemporaries, making mistakes quite rarely? Vangelia Guscherova more
How could an absolutely blind, illiterate peasant woman look into the past and future of her contemporaries, making mistakes quite rarely? Vangelia Guscherova was born at midnight from January 30 to January 31, 1911. Her name is still shrouded in mystery. The phenomenon of Vanga neither scientists nor people who knew her closely can not explain to this day. More than a million people from all over the world visited her. People came to her unknown and very, very famous - heads of state, major politicians and businessmen, writers and actors. The film is based on a unique story about a secret visit to Vanga in late 1995, the press secretary of President Boris Yeltsin – Sergey Medvedev. Ahead of this story was the appearance of representatives of Vanga in the Kremlin, who asked to convey to Yeltsin her request to come to Bulgaria as soon as possible. The clairvoyant was going to tell the head of the Russian state something important about the upcoming elections, the results of which for Boris Yeltsin were assessed in those days very deplorable. The rating of the current president did not exceed 4 percent. The visit of Sergey Medvedev to Vanga was carried out in strict secrecy. I see why. Otherwise, the opposition press would have blown it up immediately - on the eve of the presidential election, Yeltsin's headquarters sent its emissary to the fortune teller! How this story began, how unusually developed and what ended – all this the viewer will learn for the first time. Also, the film will tell about completely unknown episodes of the life of Vangelia Guscherova. The film crew visited almost all places associated with Vanga, which played an important role in the fate of the seer. No film crew has been there before! In particular, this is Novaya Selo in Macedonia, where fragments of the house in which Vanga lived with her father and stepmother, and the spring of Khanskaya Cheshma, where the culmination of the tragedy in the life of the prophetess, have been preserved. close

The Bolshevik-built kingdom collapsed 20 years ago, many myths about the revolution dissipated, but the debate still persists about how Lenin and a handful of comrades managed to completely upend the whole life of Russia on an autumn night in 1917. In February 1917, the 300-year-old monarchy fell. The Provisional Government and the Soviets began to fight each other, clearing the way for a third power. At that time no one knew that the third force, the Bolsheviks, was the only revolutionary party to the end, that Lenin was the future leader of the world proletariat, and that October 17 was a historical inevitability. close

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

The filmmakers set themselves the task of revealing the behind-the-scenes roots of the 1905 revolution, later called the first Russian revolution, to show its “American footprint”. The film is distinguished by the widespread use of authentic documents of the Foreign Ministry Archive and the Library of the US Congress. The filmmakers argue that the 1905 revolution in Russia was not at all a consequence of its internal social and economic problems, but, moreover, an uprising of the popular masses, as was commonly considered in the Soviet era, a result of the construction of the mechanisms of the “color” revolution of that time. close
