A whole chronicle of times in national history has been created by our filmmakers in recent years. And even the most convinced opponents of artistic chronicles also like to watch such tapes. It is about the irreconcilable criticism of certain films by meticulous experts on the events of past years.

Each of them does not agree with the others, and is often refuted by contemporary chroniclers and scribes of new times. Therefore, the mysteries of our history are great! Let’s pay tribute to the directors who set out to captivate us with the lessons of the past, and they succeed.
After all, the point of studying history isn’t to memorize dates – there are textbooks for that. The latest film production gives a full 3D effect of immersing in the old days. And then the decisions of the leaders, the maneuvers of the generals and the origins of the strength of Russia are clear to us as human beings.

Lingering immunity is supported by the continuity of courageous acceptance of what is written in the family. This is why domestic audiences – both young and mature – watch films from different eras so vividly, with undying interest:
