Producer
In Nikolskoye village of Ruzsky district, farmers decided to restore the production of the first natural cheese of the Russian Empire. The tradition of making baked cheese dates back to 1795. The first cheese, named "Meschersky", was made in the home of Prince Meschersky in his estate of Lotochino. The sign of the village of Lotochina represents until now a merchant with a cheese wheel on a board. The prince had then brought from Switzerland a cheese maker named Johan Müller who developed a cheese recipe, founded a cheese-making school and settled in Russia with his family. Today, we managed to find his descendants; they live and work in the Alps. And make cheese. Very similar to the famous "Meschersky".

Continuation of the movie almanac based on the memoirs about the country. A large-scale media project at the junction of a one-man show, animation and a documentary series. Each episode is an excerpt from a book of memories read by a famous artist. The video sequence was created by leading animation artists, and the music was written by a modern composer. The film is a journey through the pages of Russia's past, which comes to life thanks to sincere and personal testimonies. The heroes of the project are both prominent and not very well–known figures of Russian culture, art and history: writers, composers, artists, public figures and ordinary people.
