Man shall not Live by Bread Alone...
(Не хлебом единым)
Category: Film
Genre: Black and White, Drama, People/life, Romance, Socialism
Status: online!
Hosts:
During the post-WW2 reconstruction in Russia, bald-headed technocrat Drozhdov equates communism with the empowerment of the ordinary man over the arrogant "specialness" of genius. Dedicated scientist Lopatkin takes refuge in Moscow with the potty, brilliant old inventor Busko. Lopatkin works tirelessly on his invention, embarking on a roller-coaster of rejection and acceptance, his work vilified, plucked apart and plagiarized by colleagues, particularly by his nemesis Drozhdov. Drozhdov's wife Natasha, alienated from her cold, controlling husband, is increasingly drawn to Lopatkin, whom she knew when they both taught at the same school. Soon she runs away from her husband and happily keeps house for the two absent-minded ex-professors Lopatkin and Busko. Natasha is ready to give Lopatkin her own life, love and faith. Lopatkin is eager to sacrifice his life for the idea, doing the utmost for his motherland.

Hosts:
The Meeting Place Should Not Be Changed (Russian: Место встречи изменить нельзя) is a 1979 Soviet 5-part television miniseries directed by Stanislav Govorukhin. It achieved the status of a cult film in the USSR, and along with Seventeen Moments of Spring it became a part of popular culture, as well as the target of many Russian jokes. The series star Vladimir Vysotsky in one of his final screen appearances (he died prematurely less than a year after the film's release). Soviet screen and stage legends Sergey Yursky, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Zinovy Gerdt, Yevgeni Yevstigneyev and Leonid Kuravlev also appear in the film. The film was released in the West as "The Age of Mercy", the title of the novel by Arkadi and Georgi Vayner on which the film is based. The film is set in post-WWII Moscow. A young reconnaissance officer Vladimir Sharapov returns from the war and is assigned for peacetime duty at the famous MUR (Moscow Department of Criminal Investigations). There he becomes part of a team lead by the brilliant, tough, no-nonsense homicide detective Gleb Zheglov. The duo becomes embroiled in two seemingly separate investigations: that of a murder of an aspiring young actress Larisa Gruzdeva, and a hunt for a vicious gang of armed robbers that calls itself "Black Cat" and constantly manages to evade capture...

My Friend Ivan Lapshin
(Мой друг Иван Лапшин)
Category: Film
Genre: Drama, Socialism
Status: online!
Hosts:
Alexei German's third film as director is based on stories written by his father, prominent author Yuri German. The mostly black-and-white film begins with a present-day color sequence, then reverts to monochrome and the freezing winter of 1935, when the narrator was nine years old. The boy lived in an apartment with his father and two other men, Police Chief Ivan Lapshin and his officious underling. The story focuses on Lapshin as he tracks down a gang of crooks in his provincial Russian village, helps his recently widowed friend, and enters into a tentative relationship with an actress. Capable direction by German and a talented ensemble cast make this detailed look at the pre-purge Soviet Union both entertaining and richly rewarding.
