What does a modern cartoon character look like? On the search for a universal formula for creating the perfect cartoon character.

Valentin Nepomnyashchy's author's programme. The cycle is a lyrical confession by Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin. By reading the poet's verses and providing explanations and remarks, the author shows how the poet's ideas about love, about women, about himself, about creativity, and about life develop — for love was for Pushkin a matter of life and death, the meaning of existence, the essence of creativity, and the purpose of human life. The cycle covers the entire creative life of Pushkin, starting from 1813.

In January 1993, Joseph Brodsky appeared on Russian television for the first and last time. This happened in the city he loved so much: "If reincarnation exists, I would like to live my next life in Venice – to be a cat there, or anything else, but definitely in Venice." It was in this city that the poet was buried, on the Island of the Dead, in the San Michele cemetery, next to Stravinsky and Diaghilev, who, like him, were exiles who brought glory to Russia throughout the world. The cycle does not contain any voice‑over text. This is Brodsky's monologue, his reflections in the first person, a kind of philosophical essay "about the world, the beloved homeland, and about himself." With each passing year, with each passing day, his thoughts and words acquire an ever deeper and more piercing meaning, as if time is trying to catch up with the poet. Authors: Alexey Shishov, Elena Yakovich.

A series about the fate of one of Moscow's most celebrated districts – Arbat Street and its surrounding area. The very word "Arbat" has become a symbol of intelligence, masculinity, and decency. The development of this remarkable district is traced through generations of "Arbat boys," beginning with Lermontov and Herzen. A unifying theme is the life of one of the most famous "Arbat boys" of the 20th century – artist Boris Birger, a friend of many Arbat residents, from Okudzhava to Sakharov. Through his life and work, the common traits of the "Arbat character" are revealed.

Cold. We encounter it every day. But we still don't know what it is we're really dealing with. What threat does global warming pose to the world? Why did they try to build an aircraft carrier out of ice during World War II? What can frozen water samples recovered from subglacial Lake Vostok tell scientists? How has cold influenced the birth and destruction of entire civilizations? Two years of filming took place around the world – in Russia, Norway, the UK, the US, and, of course, on the coldest continent on the planet. What did it look like before? Is it true that Antarctica's ice is slowly melting? The filmmakers sought answers to these questions on expeditions and in research labs, where they conducted complex experiments. "Without ice and snow, there would be no ocean currents; the oceans would be deprived of oxygen, meaning there would be no life. The presence of ice determines the temperature difference between the poles and the equatorial regions; this temperature difference generates air currents in the atmosphere that shape the planet's climate," explains Magnus Magnusson, Scientific Secretary of the International Glaciological Society. "In short, life on Earth would be impossible without cold, snow, and ice."

The documentary series "The History of Russian Food" offers viewers the opportunity to learn so many surprising things about seemingly familiar subjects that they'll rightfully ask: why has Russian television so far ignored the history of national cuisine? For example, is it true that a feast during the time of Ivan the Terrible began with hundreds of roasted swans? Why were Russian medieval feasts criticized by foreigners? How was the monarch protected from poisoning? Or how did the concept of "tipping" come into being? What did "drinking from someone's face" mean? What did lean years mean for Rus'? How did Russians escape the famine caused by crop failure? And, in general, how did Russian cuisine develop and evolve over the centuries? Where did certain foods originate that have become an integral part of the national menu? Why have so many foods and drinks disappeared from our lives? What kind of dish is "perm," and where did the strange saying "No problem – quinoa" come from?
