Asmaral

The documentary recounts the story of Asmaral, a football club whose stadium was located in central Moscow, near the White House. It highlights the club's coaching by renowned Soviet coach Beskov and features players like Sergei Semak and Yuri Gavrilov. Despite its brief stint in the Top League, Asmaral's legacy is marked by its dramatic disappearance after just two seasons.

Nikola Prorokov's film captures the essence of a time when fortunes could change overnight, reflecting the rapid shifts in Russian society. The narrative emphasizes the lack of remaining artifacts from the club, such as a stadium, films, books, or even a dedicated fanbase. Asmaral serves as a poignant reminder of an era filled with both opportunities and losses, making it a compelling watch for those interested in sports history and cultural shifts during the 90s.
