In 2007, a message appeared on the Internet that before her death, the clairvoyant Vanga allegedly predicted that in far Siberia, in Bratsk, on March 17, a chlorine plant located right in the center of the city would explode. That "brothers fall asleep and do not wake up." The author of the film specially goes to the city two days before a possible disaster. And he creates a report not about Bratsk and its inhabitants, but about the era, Russia and our contemporaries.

This film is not about Yankovsky, in the usual sense. Not a biography of a great actor. Not an overview of roles. And not scandalous facts from his personal life. This is a film about love for Yankovsky. The son of Oleg Ivanovich, Philip, agreed to act only because he believed in the idea of this movie.

Oleg Mavromatti's film is an absolutely new genre of audiovisual work. It is made entirely from Internet footage, but at the same time it has a very bright, very individual rhythm, peculiar only to Oleg, and a way of organizing the artistic fabric. The protagonist is a real person who tries to find himself in a virtual environment by publishing his video diaries. We see how his consciousness dissolves in the media space, in which there is no death, which means there is no life. This existential drama about human loneliness makes the viewer look inward and see the abyss of media propaganda. The tape was awarded as the Best Documentary at the National Film Festival of Debuts "Movement" -2015.

They have old Russian names, they still observe the old Russian rituals and traditions. Unlike other Old Believer colonies in America, where children almost no longer speak Russian, many of whom have gone to the cities and disappeared among the locals, here in Bolivia they have retained their rural Russian language and faith. They walk in bast shoes and sundresses under the Bolivian palm trees and look like characters from Russian fairy tales, who somehow ended up in this distant country. The main thing is that, having left their homeland and living far from it, they claim that they are happy because they are free.

Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov lived under six rulers of the Soviet state. With five of them, Beria (read Stalin), Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov and Gorbachev, he met personally and hoped that in one way or another he would be able to influence their decisions. But he had a real impact on the society of his country. He was born under Lenin and died under Gorbachev, a year and a half before the day when the state collapsed, the strengthening of which he contributed to in the first half of his life and which he fought in the second. This "turn", as he himself called it, is the most interesting thing in Sakharov's history.
