Russian Georgians. Part 2

This documentary runs for 97 minutes and serves as the second installment in Leonid Parfyonov's project "Russian Georgians." It opens with an examination of Joseph Stalin's influence on Russian patriotism during the Patriotic War, followed by a focus on the post-war era characterized by Stalinist Russian style and the brief collaboration of Lavrentiy Beria and Georgy Malenkov.

The film then transitions into the "thaw" period, highlighting new cultural icons such as the poet Bulat Okudzhava and prominent filmmakers like Mikhail Kalatozov, Marlena Khutsiev, and Georgy Danelia. The documentary concludes by profiling notable post-Soviet artists including Zurab Tsereteli, Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Grigory Leps, Eteri Tutberidze, and Boris Akunin. This exploration not only captures the evolution of Russian culture but also reflects the contributions of Georgian figures in shaping it.
