The Other Day with Leonid Parfyonov

Season 1

Most Russians feel truly "their" history from the time of the post-war USSR. Great power statehood of those days is a clear role model for particularly patriotic elites. So this era is also the past, which has become the present. More and more are perceived today as relevant, almost eternal phenomena of our life.
