The history of the dynasty began simultaneously with the history of the state. However, the beginning is hidden in the thick fog of legends. We will never know who the legendary Varangian Rurik really was or whether he was a real historical figure. But we know who his descendants were. Among them were poets and warriors, saints and robbers, legislators and fratricide. Some ascended to the throne by birthright, others by invitation, others by the corpses of their brothers, but their very belonging to the ruling house of the Rurikoviches made legitimate their power over a huge country.
In the history of the dynasty there was everything - conquest and loss, love and betrayal, intrigue and new laws, a fierce struggle for power and high self-sacrifice, the ashes of fires and the creation of world masterpieces. The Rurikovichi strengthened, defended and expanded their state: some by fire and sword, others by peace and treaty. During their reign, the Russian nation was formed and the phenomenon of Russian culture arose. It was Rurikovichi who created the very country – the transcontinental polyethnic power – in which we live today. close

The plot of the biography film
The viewer sees the last months of the Secretary General’s life. Brezhnev lives the last moments as usual: hunting, communication with subordinates, lunches and breakfast with his beloved wife, watching newsreels. But his thoughts are getting worse. The leader recalls the old days, remembers how he climbed his career ladder, how he framed Khrushchev. Before his eyes pops up all life, all the events that ruled the fate of the then young Leonid Brezhnev. He asks himself how right he was and whether he made the right choice.

He regretted many things and even regretted something, digging into the depths of his conscience and heart, looking for answers to questions that constantly arose in his head. The picture, striking to the depths of the soul and making the viewer think about his own existence.
Reviews by critics
The drama Brezhnev, released in 2005, caused mixed reviews from critics. The picture was answered by those who knew Brezhnev alive. His grandson Andrey said that the film is weak and full of fiction. That his grandfather's disease did not progress as much, and accordingly, he did not use so much drugs as shown in the picture. Importantly, the exterior details do not match his inner feeling.
Grigory Romanov, a member of the Politburo, says that Brezhnev's helplessness in the series is far from reality, that in fact he was not such a sufferer. Although in reality Leonid Ilyich miraculously escaped death during the war, many facts of history that are used in the plot are far from the real state of affairs.
The film “Brezhnev”, despite many distorted moments, is still relevant for today’s youth. He gives even the slightest idea of the times he depicts, because many young people do not even know how the population lived then – both peaceful ordinary people and leaders who stood at the origins of communism. close
