Nominated for the National Film Awards of the Russian Federation:
- Over 1000 hours of diverse material, including live shoots, performance rehearsals, play recordings, TV shows, films, photographs, voice recordings, and archival footage from 1930 to 2020.
- Collaborated with leading theater, cinema, and music critics, as well as historians, to sharply contextualize the 20th century

- Also served as executive producer during the post-production phase
- It was shown on Russian Central Television and broadcasted in cinemas later. Plus special screening at the «Message to Man» Film Festival
- Unearthed rare footage from obscure corners of state film archives, as well as previously unseen private collections
- The film focus persona initially refused collaboration until viewing the final cut: no option for voiceovers or re-recording dialogue, no additional live footage, and a significant risk with the final outcome
