The life of a soldier during World War I was marked by extreme conditions that are difficult to imagine today. Millions of young men left their homes thinking, in many cases, that they would return after a relatively short campaign, but ended up trapped for years in an industrial war of unprecedented brutality. On the Western Front, massive trench systems stretched from the North Sea to the Swiss border, becoming the temporary home for soldiers who lived daily with mud, cold, dampness, and the constant threat of enemy artillery. Inside the trenches, survival could turn into a battle even when there was no active fighting. Rains flooded entire positions, rats proliferated among food, trash, and corpses, and lice infested uniforms. Many soldiers developed so-called "trench foot" after spending long periods with wet feet exposed to the

Russians at War is a rare, unauthorized look inside a Russian battalion during the invasion of Ukraine. Filmed by director Anastasia Trofimova, the documentary follows soldiers, medics, and newly drafted men as they move from the rear to some of the war’s deadliest front lines, including Krasny Liman and Bakhmut. Through candid conversations, frontline footage, and scenes of daily survival, the film reveals a complex portrait of the people fighting on Russia’s side: their motivations, fears, disillusionment, and the heavy toll of the conflict. From young conscripts to seasoned volunteers, from drone operators to medics retrieving the dead, Russians at War shows the human reality behind official narratives—exposing a world of confusion, loss, shifting beliefs, and the personal cost of a war many struggle to understand. Unauthorized and filmed at significant personal risk, the documentary offers a perspective rarely seen: Russian soldiers speaking freely about a war that has reshaped their lives, their families, and their country. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 03:44 - Ilya, a Ukranian fighting on Russia's side, says goodbye to his family ▷ 05:43

From peasants' son to revolutionary leader — Mao Zedong laid the foundation for modern China. This three-part documentary offers an in-depth look at one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. *Part 2 & 3 coming soon!* Part 2: Available from 10 October 2026 Part 3: Available from 17 October 2026 The legacy of the "founding father" of the People's Republic of China remains deeply controversial. Revered in Europe as a revolutionary icon in the late 1960s, Mao led China to the brink of disaster and ultimately clung to power with a regime of terror. Yet today's leaders in Beijing continue to draw on the cult of Mao. China is now a global power, a transformation that would be difficult to imagine without Mao Zedong. When Mao Zedong was born in 1893, nothing hinted at his meteoric rise to power. The son of a farming family, he grew up during a period of political instability and profound social upheaval. The 1911 Revolution, which marked the beginning of the end of imperial rule, awakened his mind to politics. At
