The film is dedicated to Grigory Frid's mono-opera The Diary of Anne Frank, one of the most performed modern operas in the world (according to Operabase statistics). It was written in 1969; it was practically never performed in the USSR. And in the West, the "Diary of Anne Frank" has been constantly returning for more than 40 years. The opera is performed at a variety of venues, not only on theater stages, but also, for example, in the Austrian Parliament or the Washington Holocaust Museum.

In 1790, Alexander Radishchev published the book "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow", in which he fearlessly exposed the vices of his time, more precisely despotism, corruption, poverty and lawlessness of the people. For his freethinking, the writer was sentenced to death, which, by the monarch's mercy, was replaced by a 10-year exile to Siberia. The film crew decided to repeat Radishchev's route and see how people live today on the side of the federal highway M10 "Russia", which connects the two capitals. How has Russian life changed over the past two hundred years? Have we started to live better? Richer? Freer? The answer is in the documentary road-movie "Travel from St. Petersburg to Moscow: a special way". Chapter 4 (which we bring to your attention) is devoted to the city of Torzhok.
