In the 30s of the last century, Soviet crews made several ultra-long flights at once, crossing the Arctic Circle and the Arctic. Their feats forever changed many established scientific theories and allowed us to seriously think about the development of the territory of eternal cold.
The people who made the Earth round did many incredible things for that time. Chkalov, Levanevsky, Gromov and other heroes of domestic aviation did not think about their safety - they just did it. The authors of the documentary found unique manuscripts of pilot Baidukov, the second Chkalov pilot, which opened the veil over some secrets. close

If we talk about one particular year of the Russian history of the twentieth century, connecting it with a certain person, the picture turns out to be more vivid and convex. Such a “portrait against the background of the year”, analyzed by Nikolai Svanidze, perfectly illustrates its main goal: to trace the inextricable connection between the fates of Russia and an individual real person on the example of the lives of famous people. 1911, dedicated to Stolypin killed at that time, 1918 - Denikin, who created the Volunteer Army.

Documentary series (United Kingdom, 2004), 7 episodes.
Terry Jones, as always incendiary and humorous, talks about the inhabitants of medieval Britain - from peasant to king - their way of life and views.
Episode 1. Peasant. About how the plague epidemic led to the enrichment of peasants and their uprising.
Episode 2. Monk. The life of a monk, protected from the vain world, seems to be an ideal of simplicity and piety. The main task of the monk is prayer and work. But the medieval church could not avoid the influx of ministers pursuing their own personal selfish goals.
Episode 3. Minstrel. Being a minstrel in the Middle Ages meant more than just playing and singing. Minstrels had to play many roles: entertain the owners, raise the attack of soldiers, even spy. These medieval cheerleaders were not as carefree as they seem.
Episode 4. Knight. Knighthood is the personification of courage, loyalty to duty, nobility towards a woman. Were these the knights of the Middle Ages? What was knighthood in its heyday?
Episode 5. Alchemist. The Middle Ages are considered a time of ignorance and superstition: the Church suppressed the desire for knowledge, medicine killed rather than cured, and people did not know what shape the Earth was. But what really happened? Maybe we just don't know the past well?
Episode 6. Robber. Legends have brought to us stories of noble forest robbers who personified the hope of justice for the medieval poor. Was the law so inaccessible to the common man? What was the legal system in medieval England?
Episode 7. King. There are many dubious facts in history. What do we know about medieval kings? Richard the Lionheart is a hero, connoisseur of art, Christian. Richard II is a narcissistic tyrant suffering from megalomania. Richard III is an evil and demonic hunchback. Is that true? The film attempts to dispel legends and myths created over the centuries.
Episode 8. Girl. About what was supposed to be a girl in the Middle Ages, and about the principles of morality that should be observed by young women. close

Based on authentic testimonies, archival documents, eyewitness recollections, materials from photo and video archives, the series 1941: The Forbidden Truth exposes a number of myths and legends and forces a different look at many events of that war. close

In 1991, the USSR ceased to exist. A state that achieved stability in a few years, created a workable economy, took a leading position on the world stage suddenly, literally in one decade, collapsed. How and why did this happen? Documentary film "USSR". The collapse of the empire, created Vladimir Chernyshev, a columnist for NTV, aims to understand what actually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Where did the systemic crisis that people like to talk about today come from, and what secrets and true causes of the country’s decline today, on the contrary, they prefer to keep silent?
Project USSR. The collapse of the empire consists of seven series, each of which reflects a certain chapter in the events of the last decade of the life of the USSR. The author touches on the State Emergency Committee and the Belovezh agreements, reveals the secrets of Andropov’s rule and the appointment of Gorbachev as the head of the party, speaks about the Chernobyl disaster as one of the symbols of the decline of a whole era, explores the causes of the confrontation between Yeltsin and Gorbachev, as well as the emergence of separatism, which no one, in fact, opposed, chronicles the last months of the Soviet Union, when the country was struck by an epidemic of non-payment of wages, deficits and strikes. What really happened then, who or what led to the collapse of the empire? close

“And Shepilov who joined them” is a documentary drama based on true historical facts. The story revolves around the failed attempt to remove Nikita Khrushchev from the post of head of state in 1957.
Dmitry Trofimovich Shepilov was an intelligent and educated man, a talented scientist and military man who passed the entire war and rose to the rank of major-general. At the end of the war, close to Stalin, he worked as editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Pravda", entered the Central Committee of the party, became a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences, later - Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Being already an associate of Khrushchev, he took part in the attempt of Molotov, Malenkov, Kaganovich and others to remove Khrushchev, criticizing him for establishing his own “cult of personality”. Shepilov’s surname was named among the members of the “factional anti-party group” that opposed the “Leninist course.” The statement about the “rebellion” ended “... and Shepilov joined them.” This phrase later became almost winged, turning into a kind of cliché, from which Shepilov could not get rid of.
The film “And Shepilov who joined them” uses materials from the archives, memoirs of Shepilov himself called “Unattached”, memories of his relatives and participants of those ancient events. close

A fundamental 6-part study of the most immodest field of human culture for ten years remains an unsurpassed encyclopedia of forbidden entertainment in their historical perspective. Pornography is a modern invention. Neither uninhibited antiquity, nor even the Middle Ages with their illusory shyness, nor the Renaissance with its love of life, thought to condemn sexual images and texts as part of human culture. Under the strict gaze of bourgeois morality, sex learned to hide in secluded places and turned into an unquenchable desire, an obsession, a painful mania that gave rise to pornography in the modern sense. A popular science film about the origins, meanings and consequences of pornography is a great opportunity to think about the nature of prohibition, about the phenomenon of power, about the burden of human weaknesses that should be accepted, not poisoned and driven deep. close

The Second World War In Colour [1999] is a three-part documentary which reveals hours of previously unseen colour film of World War II. As almost all newsreel film was shot in black and white, this DVD offers a completely new portrait of the war.

With John Thaw's narration intercut with spoken accounts from the letters and diaries of those who fought, those who survived, and those the war claimed as victims, this documentary is an extraordinary remembrance of a monumental time in world history. close

Stretching from the Stone Age to the year 2000, Simon Schama's Complete History of Britain does not pretend to be a definitive chronicle of the turbulent events which buffeted and shaped the British Isles. What Schama does do, however, is tell the story in vivid and gripping narrative terms, free of the fustiness of traditional academe, personalising key historical events by examining the major characters at the centre of them. Not all historians would approve of the history depicted here as shaped principally by the actions of great men and women rather than by more abstract developments, but Schama's way of telling it is a good deal more enthralling as a result.
Schama successfully gives lie to the idea that the history of Britain has been moderate and temperate, passing down the generations as stately as a galleon, taking on board sensible ideas but steering clear of sillier, revolutionary ones. Nonsense. Schama retells British history the way it was--as bloody, convulsive, precarious, hot-blooded and several times within an inch of haring off onto an entirely different course. Schama seems almost to delight in the goriness of history. Themes returned to repeatedly include the wars between the Scots and the Irish and the Catholic/Protestant conflicts--only the Irish question remains unresolved by the new millennium. As Britain becomes a constitutional monarchy, Schama talks less of Kings and Queens but of poets and idea-makers like Orwell. Still, with his pungent, direct manner and against an evocative visual and aural backdrop, Schama makes history seem as though it happened yesterday, the bloodstains not yet dry. close
