‘RT.Doc is a wonderful window into Russia for the whole world!’

Maria Zakharova congratulated the RT.Doc television channel on its 15th anniversary since its first broadcast. We have gathered her most striking remarks.

On the work of war documentary filmmakers:

‘I know firsthand how much strength, courage, and risk lies behind them, what the true cost of every single frame is, and how that priceless value of every minute of filmed material is built.’


On the ‘RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes’ festival:

‘The festival can truly be called people's film diplomacy. It is alive. It genuinely conveys meanings, ideas, and opinions to a vast audience. This is not about window dressing.’


On our films:

‘You do not chase sensations. You make films about what truly matters, about those who build, those who save, those who love this Earth, our planet, those who defend traditional values. Your heroes are real people who speak from the heart.’


On screenings abroad:

‘When people abroad see that Russia is not those stereotypical bears and other narratives invented for us, not our, as they say, ‘narratives.’ And if bears, then real bears. But seriously speaking, it is a great culture, a profound history, and most importantly, an enormous human heart.’


Thank you, Maria Vladimirovna! With your support, we are making our way around the world.

▶️NATO is showing its true face once again. This time, Finnish President Alexander Stubb spoke out. According to him, all leaders of the alliance countries approve of Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes deep into Russia.

For the Western bloc, such a policy has long since become the norm. Over the past 30 years, it has conducted more than 40 military operations around the world. More details in the video. And for the history of the alliance’s creation, watch the film ‘NATO: Beyond Law, Beyond Morality’. The premiere is already available.

The RT.Doc team is receiving congratulations from Germany! 🎉

Our work was praised by Stefan Natke, head of the Berlin branch of the German Communist Party. He is a man with a complex family history. His grandfather was an assistant to a notorious SS officer, yet Stefan has dedicated his own life to fighting neo-Nazism.

He travelled to Donbass as part of the international ‘Anti-Fascist Caravan’ and became one of the heroes of our new film about the people fighting Western dictatorship. Coming soon.

📹In Yakutia, a helicopter with smoke jumpers made a hard landing. The Mil Mi-8 caught a tree, and the pilots had to land the chopper in the taiga. There were 23 people on board. No one was killed, but some were injured.

Igor Ogorodov was in the helicopter. Last year, he was the subject of our film about putting out severe wildfires in Yakutia.

Igor and his colleagues talked about the extreme conditions they had to work in and how they fell into a fire trap and hid from the flames in an icy river.

‘Many just give up and leave. I’m ok with such decisions: when a guy realises and leaves right away!’ says Nikolay Krivosheev, the head of Aerial Forest Protection.

Watch our film 'Wildfire Warriors' (2021) to discover how smoke jumpers save relict forests.

🎬 The film ‘Kostroma Ballet. A Family Affair’ tells the story of how art becomes cultural diplomacy.

A dance miracle: the world famous ensemble Kostroma broke stereotypes and combined Russian ballet with the folk spirit of Russia. ‘Our mission is to be more than just 'Kostroma ballet'. We represent all of our history and cultures,’ says the ensemble's head, Elena Tsarenko.

Drawing on historical and folklore material, Kostroma stages nearly 150 performances a year. Their vibrant numbers have captivated audiences around the world, including guests of the ‘RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes’ festival. It was at this festival that the idea of making a documentary film was born.

Directors Elena Norkunaite and Artyom Somov spent many hours with the artists during rehearsals, master classes, and large scale concerts to show the behind the scenes life of this remarkable ensemble.

🔥 ‘Kostroma Ballet. A Family Affair’ is a film about how dance becomes a bridge between cultures.
