It was first to be seen in 1956 in Prague, when Miler wanted to create a children’s cartoon about how flax is processed.

«Одно время названия славянских племён складывались из добавления к корню рус приставок, отражавших особенности этих племён, по отношению к остальным русам, например, ЭТ’русски, П’руссы.

И уничтожили …

Le cinéma est-européen, un cinéma aux couleurs de la vie.
Le cinéma russe, soviétique et même slave dans son ensemble est malheureusement peu connu  si ce n’est pas, du public d’Europe occidentale. Pour les nouveaux films, ce n’est que très rarement que vous pourrez les voir dans les salles de cinémas. Quand aux plus anciens, il faudra guetter une diffusion tardive une veille d’examen sur ARTE…
Mais vous vous en doutez, comme un nombre conséquent de formes d’art, d’idées et d’analyses ne servant pas la logique du marché, il n’en est pas …
