The riveting story of Yuri Dmitriev is a tale of one man’s fight against the erasure of history by the Russian state. Deep inside the Russian forests, against the wishes of the authorities, 60-year-old Yuri Dmitriev searches for mass graves from the era of Stalin’s terror against his own people – until one day he is arrested and sentenced to 15 years in a penal colony. The film paints a shocking picture of the way the Russian state rewrites history and treats its citizens.

The plot of the 7-episode documentary cycle "Brotherhood of the Bomb" is based on the history of scientific research and searches that led to the creation of atomic and hydrogen weapons. The picture covers events from the discovery of the phenomenon of radioactivity by Pierre and Marie Curie, the first experiments and studies of Rutherford, Bohr, Fermi, Heisenberg, Einstein, Oppenheimer, Kapitsa, Semenov, Landau and other scientists to the testing of the Soviet hydrogen bomb on Novaya Zemlya in 1953. Who will be the first to test the "super bomb"? Who will emerge victorious in this monstrous competition? The film tells how this tacit competition went, in which, fortunately, there were neither winners nor losers, but a new brotherhood of physicists was born.

The author defines the genre of the picture as a film novel. A very personal story of pride, betrayal, disappointment, and the beginning of a new life. Russia. 2007. Presidential elections are to be held exactly one year later. The political opposition is determined to take decisive action and dreams of taking power into its own hands. But politics in the film is just a background, an environment in which the main characters exist. The film is not about politics, but about people in politics and politics in people. For the heroes of the film (and they are, in fact, the archetypal characters of Russian history, carriers of the "virus" of the revolution), this year is a test and a starting point for a new life.

Memories. Painful memories. The film is a journey. It is enclosed in three conditional spaces, namely, a hostel for internally displaced persons, abandoned in an empty field, who exist outside the present and future, with a torn, burned past. Twilight cold Moscow with a Chechen guy wandering through its streets, the vocalist of the Dead Dolphins group, Artur, who remembers his once beloved city, but does not want to return and see the place where his house used to be. Emaciated, abandoned by the souls that once inhabited it, the city of Grozny, in which, for the first time after the war, a Russian girl comes to see her home, return to her childhood and "die in it", saying goodbye to him forever for all those who have lost his home and country.

Who are the heroes of this documentary saga? Who became those people who have the stamp of the now non-existent empire of the USSR in their birth certificate?
