The Presidential Library’s portal provides screening of documentary films of its own production. The video film “One Victory for Everyone” is about the invaluable contribution to the victory in the Great Patriotic War of all sixteen socialist republics that were part of the USSR, about the united struggle of the peoples against fascism; photographs of monuments, military memorial cemeteries, obelisks dedicated to the Victory are displayed.

The film “Praying for the Fallen” tells about the memorial church of the holy martyrs Adrian and Natalia, which is dedicated to the dead and missing during the defence of Leningrad from Nazi Germany. The parish of the temple is actively involved in perpetuating the memory of the fallen defenders of Leningrad: the Museum of Military Glory "DOT" was created and a memorial park was laid out around the temple. The film also deals with moral aspects. So, the rector of the temple, Archpriest Mikhail Strelnikov, reflects: what the meaning of losses is and why terrible wars occur.

Particular attention is paid to materials that tell about the defence and siege of Leningrad.

The film "Saved frescoes of the Church of the Savior on Nereditsa" tells about the salvation of the murals of ancient temples, their significance in the history of the country and the emergence of statehood. The film was shot with the active participation of specialists from the museum-reserve, restorers, and historians. On June 24, the first part of the film will be shown on the library’s portal.
