Russia-Armenia, Not Close, But Together

Russia
2008, 26min.

Prod.: Yakov Kaller, Script: Andrey Gavrilov, Dir.: Vazgen Chatinyan, Dir. of Phot.: Sergey Starikov, Sound: Lyudmila Veycman, Edit.: Alexander Fomin.

This is the first film during the Soviet period and on the Soviet territories, which tries to explore the roots of spiritual friendship and two nations, now already the modern relations of independent states. A lot of things, which the audience will see in the film, is familiar to every resident of Armenia, and is news for the vast majority of Russian. And vice-versa: the facts obvious for Russians are unknown for Armenians. The heros of the film are residents of Armenia and Russia who have their place in history, who are our contemporaries, who are not very well-known. Their life and activites define Armenian-Russian relations in our times.
