Events, people, phenomena that determined the way of life. That, without which it is impossible to imagine us, is even more difficult to understand. Another year - another series. What do you remember about the second half of 2020? Protests in Khabarovsk. Rallies in Minsk. Clip of the rap group "Kasta". Second wave of coronavirus. War in Karabakh. Legendary Morgenshtern Dust. Russian brands - "Sputnik V" and "Novichok". Navalny survived and called. And also Tik-Tok and Danya Milokhin with Baskov. All this is in the information and analytical review by Leonid Parfyonov.

The documentary project The Term was conceived in May 2012. When the directing trio commenced mapping the Russian sociopolitical landscape, Vladimir Putin had just settled into the Kremlin for his third term. The original experimental format of “documentary bulletins,” which were published daily online, allowed for wide-ranging content; in the feature film version, however, the filmmakers focused solely on the members of various opposition groups. Nevertheless, the work’s neutral position remains and viewers have to interpret the objectively presented situations for themselves. The main characteristics of this strongly authentic movie include close contact with the protagonists, precise editing, and an effectively controlled release of information.

Set in the ground zero of gangster globalism and driven by a truly manic energy, Generation P is at once a comedy, a tragedy and a fantasy about the rise of a poet-turned-adman through Russia’s nascent advertising business during the Moscow roaring 1990s.

The second part of Leonid Parfyonov's project "Russian Georgians" will begin with a story about Stalin's design of the Russian patriotic upsurge in the Patriotic War, after which it will capture the post-war period - the Stalinist Russian style and the short-lived tandem of Beria and Malenkov. Then it will take us to the "thaw". The period of new heroes - a poet with a guitar Bulat Okudzhava and film directors Mikhail Kalatozov (Katalozishvili), Marlena Khutsiev (Khutsishvili) and Georgy Danelia. The journey will end with the stories of post-Soviet stars - Tsereteli, Tsiskaridze, Leps (Lepsveridze), Tutberidze and Akunin (Chkhartishvili).
