What is attractive documentary? This is a special genre that has many significant differences with full-length films, to which the viewer is accustomed. However, documentaries have no less fans.
The documentary series, consisting of several episodes, present information that it will be not only interesting to learn, but also useful. Why? If only because they are all completely reliable. From such projects, one can draw some facts about the history of our state, the characteristics of the animal world and the structure of man, as well as classified materials relating to military or scientific developments. In a word, the viewer opens up a full range of everything that bears obvious interest.
Mother Nature
For a long time, the surrounding nature has remained that unexplored life that humanity is unlikely to ever succeed in understanding to the end. This is an incredible and mysterious substance that hides centuries of secrets and secrets. “Wildlife of Russia” will show the viewer all the beauties of the vast areas of our country: the deserts of the Arctic, the vastness of Siberia, the mountains of the Caucasus, the Urals, taiga forests. The trip will send to national parks and reserves, give a meeting with exotic animals (such as the Amur tiger). The only thing that distinguishes this project is that the wealth of nature is shown in all its magnificent diversity, as it really is. The Wildlife series contains six episodes and is rightfully included in the best documentary series.
Strength and power are our main weapon
The army of our country is recognized as one of the most powerful, technically armed and professional. This was confirmed by the project of the national studio “Wings of Russia” under the name “Armor”. Ten issues of the program will tell about the most modern models of armored vehicles. The spectators will be presented with military vehicles used at the beginning of the last century (up to the latest developments in this area). How does the defense industry live? Unique archival materials, which were classified as classified under secrets, interviews, and references, were included in the 2012 Armor cycle, which was included in the best Russian series.
Domestic production of documentary projects has been supplemented by the “Arms of Russia” cycle, created over the course of three years. Sixteen episodes will again tell about the military industry, this time devoting a place to small arms, missile launchers, tank systems and equipment of the navy. Fans of aviation will have a surprise - bombers of the TU-160 and TU-95 models, as well as combat helicopters, artillery, infantry and underwater equipment will be presented to their attention.
Historical value and urban beauty
What patriot does not want to test himself for the title of the history of his state? Journalist Leonid Parfyonov released a historical cycle dedicated to the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg. The plot of the “Russian Empire” will span several centuries, including the reforms of Peter the Great and the 1917 revolution . Over the four years of filming, the Parfenov team found hundreds of unique frames and facts, manuscripts and historical diaries in the archives. Presenting the best historical documentary series, the 16-episode “Russian Empire” will transfer viewers to places of military glory, to the real homeland of kings and empresses, as well as to the dark corridors and utility rooms of the Hermitage, hidden for its visitors.
Similar in direction and significance is the project “St. Petersburg and the Suburbs”. It is a video tour that presents the look of the modern city, the exhibits of the Kunstkamera, the individuality of the palaces, the masterpieces of architecture and the secrets of the famous white nights.
Long-term “romance”
Russian relations with America remain cool for many years. Secret motives are hidden behind the outward appearance of friendship. Countries are strong competitors in armaments, political influence, and the foreign trade market. “Cold politics” (2012), categorized as “documentary series,” will provide an American look at the history of our country — the restructuring and collapse of the USSR, their consequences for the state and population. Given the tensions between the countries, this documentary project is acquiring a very urgent significance today.
"Who shakes the cradle?"
This is another striking example of documentary, considering the problems of the modern state not from the political, but from the socio-social side. Is it true that our society is degrading? What happens to moral qualities that took place three decades ago? What does the current generation see their happiness? The filmmakers address the problems of unemployment and poverty, the demographic level and the peak of the sexual revolution, parenting and the need for higher education. Who is to blame for the crisis, which, according to experts, has been hanging over the country for years? Many documentary series in Russia address these issues. But in the most detail they are covered by an extremely interesting and incredibly truthful project about our country with a name more suitable for the Hollywood thriller.
Russian felt boots: from song worship to the shoe standard
They have long become traditional winter shoes, which are actively used by residents not only in remote areas of the country, but also in central districts. Russian footwear stores centuries-old manufacturing techniques, transmitted by inheritance. They include an atypical stall method in which wool is mixed with steam and water. The authors of the project “Russian felt boots”, included in the category “documentary series”, will send viewers to the city of Kalyazin, where at a felting enterprise it will be possible to personally observe how they produce a familiar type of shoe that is devoted to a lot of songs and ditties, as well as to understand why exactly domestic boots are better than foreign analogues.
Solitude of the universe
Altai Krai is famous not only for its outlandish nature. Old believers live in this place, about which the journalist Alexander Klyushkin talks about in his film. What is the reason for the image of these people unusual for a city dweller? What is their philosophy based on? Complete isolation from the outside world allows you to maintain moral and spiritual foundations, rites and traditions that have passed from their ancestors. Natural conditions are becoming the only teachers capable of teaching the laws of the universe better than any books and textbooks. Vivid documentary series is rightfully complemented by the fascinating cycle “Altai Kerzhaks”.
