History of Russian Cinema

How to watch Eisenstein, Gaidai, and Balagov? Narrated by Oleg Milyokhin from Kinopoisk

A carriage rolling down the Odessa Steps, young friends walking through Moscow, Viktor Tsoi singing "Peremen"—all of this isn’t just footage from great films, but images of an era that honestly reflected reality and shaped our understanding of the past. And it can also tell a great deal about the present (and maybe even what awaits us in the future). Kinopoisk released a collection about the history of domestic cinema—from its birth to today. Seven chapters, seven eras. The most important films, authors, and plots of our cinema. The book is based on the video essays from the Kinopoisk YouTube channel and includes several exclusive excerpts.
