NMDNI-2020-1. Covid. Remote. Zeroing. Accident with Efremov. Screenlife.

Events, people, phenomena that determined the way of life. That, without which it is impossible to imagine us, is even more difficult to understand. Another year - another series. What do you remember about the second half of 2020? Protests in Khabarovsk. Rallies in Minsk. Clip of the rap group "Kasta". Second wave of coronavirus. War in Karabakh. Legendary Morgenshtern Dust. Russian brands - "Sputnik V" and "Novichok". Navalny survived and called. And also Tik-Tok and Danya Milokhin with Baskov. All this is in the information and analytical review by Leonid Parfyonov.

NMDNI-1921. Capablanca. NEP. Famine in the Volga region. March 8. Youth Theatre. Homeless children. "Roasted chicken".

Most Russians feel truly "their" history from the time of the post-war USSR. The statehood of that time is a clear role model for especially patriotic elites. So this era is also the past that has become the present. And its “events-people-phenomena” are increasingly perceived today as actual, almost eternal phenomena of our life.

One of the parts of Leonid Parfyonov's project called "Russian Empire". The cycle is dedicated to Emperor Nicholas II and consists of three series. It fully covers the reign of Nicholas II, from the coronation in 1896 to his abdication and death in 1917.
