For the 5th anniversary of the Dozhd TV channel, the first creative producer of Dozhd, Vera Krichevskaya, wanted to share with you stories about how the channel changed along with the country. And as a result, a whole documentary series turned out from this idea. It is much wider than life inside the Dozhd. Five episodes about every year of the life of the Dozhd TV channel. In the 5th episode, all the most important things that happened in the life of Dozhd in 2014 - the Siege survey, Timur Olevsky got lost in the Donbass, the investigation of the missing paratroopers in Ukraine and Dozhd's moves from Krasny Oktyabr to the apartment.

The story of Donald Trump's election told entirely through Russian propaganda. By turns horrifying and hilarious, the film is a satirical portrait of Russian meddling in the 2016 election that reveals an empire of fake news and the tactics of modern day information warfare.

Andrei Shkolny is a journalist, in the remote countryside of Russia and Moscow is a long way away. People are poor and disgusted by politics and newspapers. Surviving everyday life is quite hard enough. Shkolny left his job at the regional paper “The Leninist”, because he couldn’t go on writing articles about nothing. A journalist through and through, he created his own newspaper – Nasha Gazeta (Our Paper) – which now has about 7000 readers every week. People can read their own news. There are no articles about Moscow, about golden harvests, about impressive yet unrealised and unrealisable projects, but stories about the village that has had no water for three months, about the farmer who found his dog by barking himself, about the doctor who travels many kilometres by bicycle every day despite temperatures of –36. The authorities are not amused. Shkolny is convinced he is doing nothing wrong. Who will win in the end? Juxtaposing small, personal stories with the impressive background of contemporary Russian history, Nasha Gazeta reveals a beautiful and subtle portrait of a brave man who, despite oppostion, follows his heart.

The film "Novaya" tells about the life of the editorial office in difficult times.

A film about the creation and creators of one of the most rated talk shows on Channel One.

Thirty years ago Soviet citizens woke up and saw Swan Lake on TV. A putsch began in the USSR: part of the party elite removed President Mikhail Gorbachev from power. The GKChP members tried to tighten the screws and take away freedom from the media. The journalists then fought the censorship and won. In 2021, the profession of a journalist in Russia will be called prohibited: dozens of people will become “foreign agents” and will be forced to leave Russia, and many independent media will recognize them as “undesirable”.

The chronicle of the events of 2019 in the student media The Vyshka, whose editorial staff wrote loud texts, held work planning meetings, went to protest rallies and reported from court hearings. But more important is that the film chronicles the confrontation between Russia's largest student media: from the emergence of conflicts with the administration of the Higher School of Economics to the deprivation of the status of a student organization. The film also talks about the change in editorial management, the difficulties in the development of an independent media and why The Vyshka is so much more than working chats.

Putin had been preparing his country for the big war long before it started. Since 2012, a series of repressive laws were passed by the Government labelling everyone who publicly disagreed with the official narrative as "foreign agent", a traitor of Russia. In these circumstances, a group of independent Russian media and activists with two Nobel Peace Prize winners Dmitriy Muratov of "Novaya gazeta", and NGO "Memorial" among them are trying to resist and continue their work. Right after the invasion, another series of repressive laws is passed and overnight their work becomes virtually impossible. The journalists and activists are threatened with long prison sentences and forced to make difficult moral choices in the midst of total war censorship: should they stay or leave the country, should they go to jail or save their team, should they adapt to the new reality or stay true to their principals and close their media? Shot during one decisive year, before and after the invasion, the film portrays the last defenders of democracy in Russia and gives a glimpse of hope for another future.

The protagonist is a Soviet dissident, and now a popular New York radio talk show host, Seva Kaplan. We have the opportunity to watch him in various situations, at home and at work, at a party with friends and during business meetings, in the studio and on the tennis court.

Novaya Gazeta journalist Svetlana Orlyuk was involved in dangerous investigations and unfair court decisions. Sveta managed to save many, but failed to save herself.
