Okhonoon

Okhonoon, also known as Athanasius, was produced at Gosteleradio YASSR and broadcast in 1987. The film was initially created for television, with the original 16mm film edited and transferred to a video reel, featuring superimposed sound and titles.

Due to its age and the conditions of the 1990s, much of the recording deteriorated, leaving only the last minutes preserved for years. For a long time, it was considered lost to collectors until its rediscovery and digitization in 2020. However, it's important to note that the original credits and soundtrack were not retained during this process, which adds a unique layer to its viewing experience.

For collectors, this film represents a rare piece of television history, showcasing the challenges of preserving media from that era. Its journey from obscurity to recovery makes it a notable entry in any collection focused on lost or rediscovered works.
