Their children went to school in Oimura. After the divorce, the ex-wife moved to the city. Lately, Sadykov worked as a lumberjack, and went to work in Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude, because there was no work in the village. For the same reason, Sadykov advised his youngest son Vyacheslav, when he joined the army on conscription, to sign a contract and remain in military service. The last time the son came to the village to his father from the military unit for the new year 2022 to meet him together, and after that he went to the exercises in Belarus. After the start of the war on February 24, people from the military registration and enlistment office came to Sadykov's house and reported that Vyacheslav had died.

In 2001, near Pskov, at an air show, a disaster occurred in front of 10,000 spectators. The crash of the plane, which was controlled by Timur Apakidze, was filmed by dozens of cameras. The film also contains the voice of Apakidze himself, who, shortly before his death, as if anticipating it, managed to talk about how the pilot feels in an emergency flight, being on the verge of life and death. And how painful is the choice between ejection-life and the desire to save the plane.

The film tells about Sergei Yun-Fu, or Sergei Mao, the son of Mao Zedong, and Nikolai Elizarov, or Chiang Ching-guo, the son of Chiang Kai-shek. Both of them grew up, got an education and worked in the USSR. One fought as a tanker in the Soviet Army during the Great Patriotic War, the other was one of the leaders of Uralmash. But the Comintern and the NKVD equally disposed of their Russian destinies. Both were valuable figures in Stalin's game of influence in China and in the bitter struggle for power between the two Chinese dictators. Both returned to China to become companions of their fathers in this struggle. They themselves never met. Sergei died in the Korean War in 1950. Jiang Jingguo became the President of Taiwan.

In the spring of 2017, after the release of the film by Alexei Navalny and FBK “He is not Dimon to you” about Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, many young people and schoolchildren joined the next protests. Young people have become the driving force behind Navalny's presidential campaign. It was they who actively participated in the creation of a regional network of political headquarters, subjected to pressure from the state. In the first episode of the film "The Age of Dissent" there are stories of three young supporters of Navalny, whom the local authorities have declared war on.

In the spring of 2017, the Investigative Committee conducted the first searches as part of the criminal case, which everyone now knows as the Serebrennikov case, the Seventh Studio case, or the Platform case. Six people, including a world-famous director, are accused of stealing from the state more than one hundred million rubles allocated for staging performances. And they can go to jail for 10 years for that. Journalists Katerina Gordeeva and Roman Super tried to figure out what the essence of this case is. We talked to people who know what theater is, including in terms of money. We studied financial documents. Communicated with those with whom no one had ever been able to before. They figured out why the applause of the audience and the compliments of the Ministry of Culture turned into arrests. And of course, they went to all the court sessions.

Petr Pavlensky, artist and activist, is in the vanguard of forging social change in Russia. Through an array of courageous performances, he acts as society's conscience in the face of an increasingly totalitarian state. From lying naked in a coil of barbed wire, to nailing his scrotum to the floor of Red Square, his acts of defiance aim to spark debate and catalyse reform.

The battle for Donetsk Airport (May 2014 - January 2015) through the warriors's eyes of both sides. The humans behind the battle. The Donetsk Airport, Ukraine. Rebuilt in 2012, but now a scene of utter devastation - shortly after Russian-backed separatists have taken it over. Weaving together the voices of fighters on both sides supported by battle video, we tell an unvarnished story of war through the eyes of those who were there. The desperate fight for an airport whose capture seems more symbolic than strategic, they also show how human nature can adapt - in sometimes disturbing ways - when one's life is on the line.

Nature and man, space and time, life and death - in the far north of Russia, everything merges together. Somewhere beyond the Arctic Circle, a few dozen people continue to live surrounded by water, stone and sand. Disconnected from the infrastructure and forgotten by the state, these people are forced to deal with their own problems. Their villages are threatened by the fate of many Russian villages - slow, inevitable extinction. Each scene in the film questions the meaning of life and shows a person's life in a place where nature writes the laws.
