Vitaly Khadzhiev

Vasily Pronchishchev and Vasily Chelyuskin were young lieutenants of the Russia fleet, who set out from Yakutsk along the Lena River to the Arctic Ocean on a sailing ship under the leadership of the commander Vitus Bering in the summer of 1735. Contrary to the imperial prohibition, incredible trials and deadly danger lying ahead of all the members of this expedition, a young girl enamored with one of the characters got onto this ship. However, neither storms or severe northern frosts and hunger were able to stop them, since fulfilling of their duty, reaching of the most northeastern point of Eurasia and putting of the vast Arctic territories on the world maps were their main purpose in life.

URSS, fin novembre 1941. Inspiré du récit du journaliste Vasiliy Koroteev paru dans le journal de l'Armée rouge, Krasnaya Zvezda, peu de temps après la bataille, c'est l'histoire des "28 de Panfilov", un groupe de 28 soldats de la 316ème division d'infanterie de l'Armée rouge, sous le commandement du général Ivan Panfilov, qui a arrêté l'avancée sur Moscou d'une colonne de 54 chars nazis de la 11ème division Panzer pendant plusieurs jours. Bien qu'armés de fusils d'infanterie standards Mosin-Nagant et de mitrailleuses DP et PM-M1910 inutiles contre les chars, et de grenades antichars RPG-40 et de fusils antichars PTRD-41 inadaptées, ils se battirent sans relâche et vaillamment, avec un courage hors du commun et un dévouement sans faille, pour protéger Moscou et leur mère patrie.

This is Peter. Not Petersburg, not Leningrad - namely, Peter. A city of big ambitions and opportunities. As a rule, unrealized. Often they joke that there is a particular climate to blame. As if he makes us all a bit lazy and unhurried, and turns the city into an endless northern Magnan. But let's be honest: if the weather was good here, you would have moved here. So thank you, Lord, for the right climate! Peter is first of all people. No museums, no cathedrals or movable bridges. People - this is the present. They fill the city with meaning. Make it alive. Rock musicians and street artists, businessmen and careerists, conductor, cooks, officials, urban madmen, just visiting. Everything is interesting here. Uneasy ... All yours. City swallows.
