The series "Varkina Land" is similar to many other films about life in the village and about work in the collective farm. However, few of them had the warmth and warmth that director Anatoly Bukovsky demonstrates in his series.

On the other hand, Varya herself, who remains to work in the collective farm, because she does not want to leave her house.

The television story under the leadership of Vsevolod Shilovsky became one of the largest projects on Soviet television. 144 artists from 11 Moscow theaters took part in its creation, despite the fact that the series had only 17 chapters (that is, episodes). Initially, it was planned to be limited to season 1 (9 episodes). However, the senior management ordered to extend the series for another 8 episodes.

Surprisingly, with a very small budget, the creators managed to shoot a great story about the life of Soviet citizens in an ordinary communal apartment. In the end, it turned out so great that the number of letters from fans set a record – 300 thousand.

At about the same time with the appearance of the beloved “Big change” was released 7-series film Gennady Pavlov “Different people”. And these paintings have a lot in common. Since in the center of the plot are pupils of evening school, and in the role of their class leader is yesterday's graduate (in the case of "Different people" graduate) of the university.

At the same time, each of these stories is intertwined with the overall picture of the difficult life of a small team.

The second film adaptation of Vera Panova’s story “Satellites” (the first was called “Train of Mercy”) was timed to the 30th anniversary of the Victory. In the center of the plot of the 4-part picture is a train where the victims of the war are. The peculiarity of this film is that everything terrible remains behind the scenes. While the main characters are forced to cope with the consequences of these events. Thus, the viewer is given the opportunity to see and feel the bitterness of the realities of those days.

The film, based on Yulian Semyonov’s novel “Confrontation”, is strikingly different from the detective television series of those times. First of all, I want to note the cast, headed by Oleg Basilashvili himself. And secondly, the plot unfolds in two timelines at once: the end of the 70s in the USSR and the 40s in Germany.

An exciting detective story will encourage the study of real events, which became the basis for the creation of the novel “Confrontation”.

Many Soviet serial films, unfortunately, are replaced by memory and other new paintings. However, thanks to modern databases, there is always an opportunity to find something new for yourself. Even if it was created years earlier. And with the help of the Internet and social networks at any time you can share your discovery and recommend a film to other people.
