Valery Uskov began his creative career in documentary film, and with rare exceptions, all his directorial and script works were performed together with Vladimir Krasnopolsky. Their first feature film The Slowest Train (1963) was awarded at the All-Union Film Festival in Leningrad (1964) with a special diploma of the magazine “Soviet Screen” for the best debut. Then came the dramatic films “Taiga Troops” (1965) and “Unjudiced” (1969). The television film Shadows Disappear at Noon (1971) aroused great audience interest. A significant creative success was the television film "Eternal Call" (1976-1983), still enjoying the love of the audience. In 1979, for the first 12 series, its creators were awarded the State Prize. Subsequently, Uskov and Krasnopolsky staged the films "Complicity in Murder" (1986), "Night Fun" (1991), "Thief" (1995). In 1996, they filmed the historical film "Ermak", which again attracted the interest of a wide audience. In recent years, the screenwriter-director tandem Uskov-Krasnopolsky has been successfully working on the creation of television series: Two Destinies (2000), Detectives (2001), Provincials (2003).
