60s, 70s, 80s. Our childhood, youth and youth of our parents. Some songs, some films, some idols. Kindergarten, school, pioneer camp, institute and army. Everything, like everyone else. Our life. Who does not remember the rumbling of a small movie camera, home viewings of 8 mm films. Years have passed, life has changed, and the miraculously preserved old film footage of family newsreel helps us return to the past, which is not always fun. "Private Chronicles. Monologue "" is not just a portrait of time. The hero of the film is a "typical representative", "average type", a person born on April 11, 1961, with whom we live the first steps, the first school years, the first love, the first sexual experience, the first betrayals and the first insights, until 1986, when what some call the beginning, others the end began in the USSR.

In the village of Pervomaisky near Tula, a local businesswoman decided to ennoble the space near her stall. The young artist painted Christ and the Sistine Madonna for her. Everyone turned on the artist and businesswoman, from the administration and the police to participants in Orthodox Internet forums. As a result, on the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, the entrepreneur destroyed the images of Christ and the Virgin with her own hand. But something remains of the naive fresco. Although not on the wall.

For 20 years, the United States has invested almost 90 billion dollars in the development of the Afghan army, but left as losers - just as the USSR left. The civil war continues, "democracy" has not taken root, a peaceful life is a distant prospect. The new inhabitants of the presidential palace promise not to commit genocide and assure that they are not the same as in the 90s. But nobody believes their words. Why has Afghanistan turned into a Taliban republic again and how will the lives of ordinary Afghans now change? Why should we be worried about what is happening in this distant country?

Gora is a frail middle-aged woman who works as a janitor in one of the sleeping areas of Rostov-on-Don. She has neither a residence permit nor a medical policy, and in order to somehow save money, she lives with a friend in a barracks for 500 rubles. The two-storey densely populated hut survived only because it stood in the landfill for its entire history. People have been living here for more than forty years. They grow geese and goats in summer kitchens, boil themselves, drink, love, die. A nunnery is located a hundred meters from the barracks. There are 15 girls of all ages in it, in essence, this is the same barrack, only completely whitewashed and surrounded by a brick fence. They say the abbess is a former prison guard. Passion is no worse than in the cool Mexican series.

This film covers 30 years from 1918 to 1948. Unprecedented until that time in any country of the world, a bright and massive Jewish participation in all spheres of state policy and culture. Triumphs almost always followed by tragedy. Both are part of the history of Russia.

The once exemplary livestock and dairy farm in the Altai region are now declining. Milk cows live here. Their whole life passes between the barn and the "maternity ward". Everything here is subordinated to the task of obtaining a useful product. All days at the farm have the same schedule: morning milking, evening milking, “maternity ward”, dairy. The milkmaids arrive early, when it is still dark. People come into the space inhabited by cows, combining animals and mechanisms, creating hybrids — cows with mechanical udders. In the evening, the milkmaids come and milk the cows again. The milk is transported to the dairy section and from there, it leaves the farm. Calves are born in the “maternity ward”, where cows can temporarily return to their natural life. Several women perform these extremely hard and low-paid jobs to keep the barn alive. This is life on a farm.

Today, scientists predict several options for the life of the universe. The first option is not the worst: the Universe as it is now has always been and will always exist. The second option: she was born, changed, and someday, sadly, she will die. Most scientists tend to the latter. The Universe was born as a result of an explosion of a small superdense clot of matter, which had great energy, which began to scatter in different directions. But how did the planets and, ultimately, life itself come from energy? Thousands of scientists are looking for the answer to this question. Peter Higgs is the most expensive scientist for the world economy. His theory of the birth of the universe has already cost taxpayers 6 million euros. And this is not the limit. The Large Hadron Collider, which is capable of confirming the Higgs theory, has not even begun to operate at full capacity. And many are sure that they will never start. They believe that nature itself rebels against this. Or God himself. But Peter Higgs is convinced that the particle of the universe he is looking for, the boson, will definitely be discovered. The key to unraveling the "mystery of the Creator" may be very close at hand.

All foreign encyclopedias speak of him as an outstanding American physicist. A memorial plaque adorns the wall of the prestigious George Washington University in the US capital; astronauts have named a large crater on the Moon after him. But the physicist George Gammow was the Russian Georgy Antonovich Gamow. Before perestroika, his name was banned in Russia. Only in 1990, Gamow was posthumously returned the title of Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which he received in 1928, becoming the youngest chosen one in the history of Russian science.

The most significant events in people's lives, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of children, death, go through the everyday life of registry office workers. The film is a film observation that combines the happy moments of life and the prose of clerical formalism. This paradoxical connection is colored by the director's humor.

More than twenty years ago, the war ended in Abkhazia. But the shadows wandering in the corridors of the republican psycho-neurological hospital still remind of its consequences. Sometimes it begins to seem that the shadows are us. The monochrome picture of their world sometimes conveys much more meaning than we can perceive.

Someone called Father Arkady a punk priest, someone called a hippie priest. Once he really was a hippo, and then he left Moscow with friends for a remote Karelian village and began to build a temple. Over time, this remote village has become a point of attraction for many people: poets, artists, whips, drug addicts, musicians, writers, criminals, photographers. Father Arkady was an unusual priest from the generation of the 90s and in some way reflected the fate of this generation. It all started with freedom and an endless holiday, but what did it lead to? Is it all over, or is it just that "Holiday" has become different?

For more than 35 years, the Soviets expand their geopolitical influence in Africa with humanitarian aid programs based on Marxist ideology. Up until 1991, some of the country’s best filmmakers were sent along to document the ‘glorious advance’ of socialism on the African continent. The Soviet Union broke apart and “socialism” became a dirty word. Russia, struggling with an economic crisis, lost all political interest in Africa. Still, thousands of kilometers of film footage remain.

The three main characters of the film are people of different generations and destinies, who are united by one thing, the main thing in their life is work. Work is their life. Eight hundred kilometers from Moscow, in the north of the Kostroma region, lumberjacks are felling wood. It will be tied up in 36 huge rafts, and when the river opens in April, it will be possible to go downstream. But even then there will be time for amazing stories about sea voyages to Africa, Kostroma beavers and Russian space. For humor and complaints about the cruelty of the Russian fate.
