Vladimir Zhirinovsky

Moscow, January 1996. Boris Yeltsin gets ready to run for a second mandate of the presidency of the young Russian Federation. Polls are in the single digits. A painful economic transition, war in Chechnya, and the rise of criminal groups have left the majority of Russians dissatisfied with Yeltsin… and willing to vote for the communist leader Gennady Zyuganov. Yet six months later, Yeltsin won the election with nearly 54% of the vote. How did that happen?

There is no idle glorification and unnecessary chanting in this film. This is a clean, open, clear and truthful picture of the LDPR. The film reflects all the strength, power and energy of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia. The film was shot all over the country — from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok. The film was created by the famous journalist Alexander Gordon. "20 years is already a biography," LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky said at the presentation. — The film is a memory of those 20 years that our party passed. During this time, hundreds of thousands of LDPR members and millions of supporters have joined our ranks." The film "20 years facing Russia" was created on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the LDPR.

The second film in a series of documentary and journalistic films about Russia. This is an impartial and friendly story about how the capital of Russia lives, works, studies and relaxes, seen through the eyes of a foreigner. The film's host, American actor Jed Allan, familiar to many Russians for his role as CC Capwell in the TV series Santa Barbara, travels around the multimillion-dollar metropolis, accompanied by the Russian actor and athlete Alexander Nevsky. The presenters of the film are equally interested in the opinions of representatives of the modern elite and ordinary citizens. The daily life of the city is the main interest of the film's authors; the faces snatched by the cameraman from the Moscow crowd are his main characters. The idea of the film is to show modern Moscow as one of the brightest, most beautiful and most dynamically developing cities in the world.

A candid, fly-on-the-wall BBC television documentary portrait of Russian Nationalist politician, Vladimir Zhirinovsky. The film shows the leader on a cruise surrounded by two hundred supporters getting plenty of media attention in New York.
