NR

A rifle battalion consisting of 18-year-old cadets, led by a general, covered the bridge from Gostomel to Kyiv, which was perhaps the only likely place for a Russian breakthrough. On February 25, 2022, the students fought their first battle with enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups, unaware of the actual number of enemy forces and equipment. For almost a month, the cadets resisted Russian attempts to find weak spots in their defenses.

Kobzar. The Story of One Book poster
9.0

The film explores the biography of Taras Shevchenko, the "Kobzar," or more precisely, three editions of his works that were published during his lifetime in 1841, 1844, and 1860. It also highlights related issues, such as the emergence of the alphabet, the textual studies of Shevchenko's works and his friendly correspondence, his first trip to Ukraine, his arrest, and his last journey in 1860, censorship, and secret surveillance. All of these are closely intertwined with the biography of the "Kobzar." In addition, the biographical facts in this book reveal the emergence of an independent modern Ukrainian identity.
