- While life expectancy is increasing in Western countries, cases of diabetes, hypertension, obesity and cancer are increasing, and the use of medication has exploded. Does this mean that in order to live to a ripe age we are condemned to swallow more and more drugs? What if there was another way? For half a century, in Russia, Germany and the U.S., doctors and biologists have been exploring a different therapeutic approach: fasting.The results are amazing. Soviet researchers have provided a body of clinical studies of exceptional wealth ...only published in Russian, and thus unknown in the West. Young biologists from the University of Los Angeles have overturned conventional wisdom and used molecular biology to demonstrate the powerful effects of fasting. These researches suggest a wide-ranging potential, which could include treatments for the disease of the century, cancer. If these scientists are right, maybe our approach to disease and treatment will need a rethink.
- Urmas Eero Liiv's feature film "Must alpinist" (Ghost Mountaineer) is a youth film with elements of horror which is based on real life events which took place during the Soviet era. It tells the story of an Soviet Estonian student hiking group which gets caught up in a series of scary events unfolding in wintry Siberia. The unpopular group leader Olle (Reimo Sagor), who becomes disappointed in his companions during the trip, disappears on the last day in the mountains. His rival, liberal-minded and adventurous Eero (Priit Pius) guides the descending hikers into a Buryate village on the mountain to seek help. A weird and insane chain of events is unleashed which seems to be orchestrated by the missing Olle. In a foreign land and among people they do not know, the hikers are faced with a task which they at first do not want to undertake and later are unable to tackle.
- The Film teaches us the sacred knowledge that Love is involved. Be it, a person, religion or a nation, technology can not rule over Love. This movie shows you how the Nazis with all the new and most advanced killing technologies cannot conquer the Russian Motherland. The Nazis were sure that their weapons of mass destruction would conquer the Russian Military who only had the weapons of the World War I. They did not understand the real Love the Russians have for their Motherland. They came to Stalingrad willing to use their bodies as their weapons to stop the Nazis onslaught.

They hope that it'd help to restore justice and set eternal summer in its homeland.
- Fifteen years from its inception, YouTube retains the power to shock and disorient - particularly when wielded by children who have lived their whole lives in its era. A found-footage documentary composed entirely of social media videos by teenagers weathering hostile education and a climate of terror in contemporary Russia, "Manifesto" contains one vignette after another to make viewers wince with discomfort and even outright horror. One's first impulse might be to ask whether any documentary should show such material at all - yet of course, it has been freely available for public viewing all along. As such, "Manifesto" invites uneasy consideration of the differing responsibilities of creating, consuming and externally curating candid video, and provides no guidance. In selecting and assembling several years' worth of amateur video into a constructed, collective life-in-a-day feature, the presumably pseudonymous filmmaker Angie Vinchito takes considerable risks of decontextualization. There's no narration to bind or editorialize these disparate but symphonically despairing mini-narratives of physical abuse and psychological oppression, and "Manifesto" counts on viewers' knowledge of recent Russian politics and social norms to determine which videos present uncompromised reality, which may be documenting pranks or performance, and which have been alarmingly coerced.
- The Republic of Buryatia, in the Far East, became the first Russian region that legalized the euthanization of stray animals. The Dog Voyage documentary tells the story of activists who save these animals: they register the dogs as their own and ship them off to other parts of the country. But Buryatia isn't the only such region. Last July, Vladimir Putin signed a law granting local authorities the right to establish their own rules for handling homeless animals. Unwanted dogs are being returned to a temporary shelter ("with regard to its capacity"), where they are to be "humanely killed."
