Documentary TV channel, opened the RT. Doc: The Time of Our Heroes.

Ekaterina Kitaytseva and Dmitry Khrustalyov. After the screening, viewers asked

questions to the RT editor. Doc to Ekaterina Shubnaya, which was part of an

filmmakers, representatives of social movements and other interested persons from
