The documentary project "Battle Banners of the Fatherland" will be presented at the Presidential Library

On June 11, 2024 at 16:00 (Moscow time), the Presidential Library Cinema Club will host a public screening and discussion of the new documentary film series "Battle Banners of the Fatherland," produced by Teleinvest Studio with the support of the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives. The documentary series "Battle Banners of the Fatherland" will focus on the history of Russian and Soviet flags that inspired soldiers of the Fatherland during the period from the 18th century to the present.

The films in the series are documentary and historical in nature, created to preserve the historical memory of our glorious past, the people who made an invaluable contribution to the strength of Russia, and the events and symbols that fill our defenders with pride today.

Within the framework of the Presidential Library Film Club, three series of films (six episodes in total) will be screened on the following topics: the Northern War, the Crimean War, and the Patriotic War of 1812. The idea for the film cycle was conceived by Sergey Pochin and Yuri Svetov. Innokenty Ivanov wrote the screenplay, directed the films, and produced them, with Sergey Pochin serving as producer.

Georgy Vilinbakhov, Chair of the Heraldry Council under the President of the Russian Federation and State Heraldmaster, acted as main scientific consultant for the film series. Researchers and restorers from the State Hermitage, Artillery Museum, and other cultural institutions assisted with the filming. Each film is approximately 43 minutes in length. After each screening, there will be a discussion with the filmmakers to answer audience questions.
