A series of films about war correspondents of the Great Patriotic War was produced with the support of PFKI.

      Long weekends are a good reason to watch documentary films. "Frontline Editorial" is a series of short films about the war correspondents of the Great Patriotic War. About those who worked on the front line, reported from the scene and preserved vivid testimonies of the war. Available on VK Video and Rutube.

      "The First"

      How, in the first days of the war, writers and journalists became war correspondents. On June 24, 1941 they received the order and went to the front — from Tvardovsky to Simonov. Host — war correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda Alexander Kots.

      "Leningrad"

      Siege radio, Berggolts’s poetry, fake news and attempts at enemy propaganda — and the word that helped people hold on when the city lacked bread, paper, and light. This is a story not only about the blockade but also about a profession: radio became more than news, it became a way to survive. Host — war correspondent for TV channel Russia 1 Mikhail Andronik.

      "Gaidar"

      "Gaidar is gone — the Timurites are in Berlin!" — this inscription Soviet soldiers left on the wall of the Reichstag in 1945. Arkady Gaidar raised a whole generation on ideals of honor and friendship — a generation that won the most terrible war in Russia’s history. Host — war correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda Grigory Kubatyan.

      "Love"

      The film unites three true stories: about the poem "Wait for Me," which soldiers cut out of newspapers and kept over their hearts; about war correspondents separated by death but united by a common cause; about a photojournalist whose mission was continued by his wife after his death. Host — RT war correspondent Alexander Simonov.

      "Matusovsky"

      The film is devoted not only to the poet Mikhail Matusovsky but also to how the profession of war correspondent was formed. About the word that helped preserve humanity in inhuman conditions. About love for his native Donbass, his first front-line texts, and memory of comrades — all of this remained in his poetry. Host — Russia 24 correspondent Olga Matsievskaya.

      "Stalingrad"

      This film is about the people who showed the world the truth about the deadliest battle of the 20th century. About those who walked alongside the soldiers, recording the war as it was. Thanks to their work we see not a textbook chronicle but the genuine faces and events of those days. Host — RT war correspondent Alexander Simonov.

      "The Women Documentarians"

      The film is about women who held a camera, not a weapon, during the war. Ottilia Reizman and Maria Sukhova were the first female camera operators at the Central Newsreel Studio. Their work shows that professionalism and resilience have no gender. Host — war correspondent Elena Sokolova.

      The project is implemented with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives. Photo provided by the project organizers. (0+)
