Plot synopsis
The history of the Cross of Patriarch Nikon, created
in the image of the Cross, on which the Saviour was
crucified, is in many respects symbolic for Russian
history and therefore topical nowadays. Throughout
the centuries we have been looking for an ideal, every
time trying it on to various periods – times of Tsar
Alexey Mikhailovich or events on Bolotnaya square,
GULAG’s nightmare or year of 1917, demonstration
on Sakharov’s avenue or ‘oprichnina’ of the times of
Tsar Grozny. When shall we finally manage to differentiate
a copy from the original? The picture seeks to
answer this question.
