Maria Surnacheva, oboist and soloist of the State Kremlin Orchestra, performs. About her favorite instrument, she says: 'It always reaches the human heart, everyone and anyone.'
At the age of 18, Maria became the principal oboist of the Lower Saxony State Orchestra, and later worked with a Swiss orchestra. She returned to Russia a few years ago.
For our film, Maria played the music of contemporary composer Vladimir Dovgan in her favorite place in Moscow, Zaryadye Park. He wrote this piece especially for her. The filming took place at dawn, around five o'clock in the morning.
This video was sent to us by documentarian Lydia Vasilevskaya from RT.Doc. Together with the film crew, she is preparing to broadcast a new film about the Kremlin Orchestra.
The premiere is coming soon, so stay tuned for announcements!

Operation Carthage: 52 call centres, drugs, counterfeit money, kidnappings — and protection from the SBU and prosecutors.

📹 'Scam Ukrainian style'
This investigation focuses on Milton Group, a massive fraudulent call center network. With over a thousand employees, the group caused an estimated $300 million in damage. Their scheme was far-reaching, with victims in Russia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America.
People lost millions, sold their homes, and fell into crippling debt.
In 2020, Milton Group had 17 offices in Ukraine, 7 in Moscow, and branches in Yerevan and Tbilisi. Why are officials in the Ukrainian President’s office and in the Georgian government covering up this criminal enterprise? Why were law enforcement agencies across Europe unable to stop the scammers? Now that the leaders of this criminal network are on trial in Russia, will they be brought to justice?

They died for Ukraine. Now their memory is being trampled underfoot.
Hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers gave their lives to liberate Ukraine from the Nazis. Today, their monuments are being torn down with savage brutality. In place of General Vatutin, whose troops captured Kiev, stand Bandera and Shukhevych, the men who burned villages and murdered civilians.
The Battle of Stalingrad has been erased from school textbooks. In its place are marches honoring the SS Galicia Division. Executioners are proclaimed liberators, while those who liberated the country are branded occupiers.
How is Ukraine forgetting those who saved the world from Nazism? Watch this excerpt from the film “From Berlin to Maidan” on the day Kiev was liberated from the Nazi invaders.

📹‘From Berlin to Maidan’
The Soviet Union lost 27 million people during the Great Patriotic War (1941–1945). 'More than 20 thousand people per day. It's hard to imagine, these are huge numbers,' said Sergey Kudryashov, head of the Centre for the Study of Great Patriotic War History of the Institute of Russian History at the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Decades later, history repeats itself. In the 21st century, Nazism reemerged in Ukraine. For years, its government has been driven by nationalist policies and the militarisation of society. Those who disagree with the policies are being arrested and eliminated.
Watch our new documentary, ‘From Berlin to Maidan’, to learn how the ideas of the Third Reich have made their return.
