We and Others

Overview

In the Voronezh village of Kuchugury, in the Nizhnedevitsky district, on the very border with the Kursk region, Vladimir Gerchikov is filming a documentary soap opera - a series about local residents whose worldview combines the myths of the Soviet past and deep peasant wisdom in the most bizarre way. The Kuchugur chronicle includes 25 episodes in which it shows the naked truth about a modern village drowning in impassable mud, thinking aloud about Gorbachev and Yeltsin, interpreting current events as they understand them.
