books have been translated into more than 170 languages of the world.
In the film a breathtaking panorama of the battles of Chingiz Khan
and Tamerlane is shown, and at the same time we see Oykumen of
Chingiz Aitmatov. The territory of his “Conquests“, crossing the oceans,
reached all continents, the man with the feather turned out to be more
powerful than the man with the sword. And in Russian he was able
to reveal the Kyrgyz heart. The film turns to the topic that was raised
by Chingiz Aitmatov back in 1986 at the Issyk-Kul forum - “On the
responsibility of leading politicians, science and culture for the fateful
processes taking place in the World, on the establishment of a dialogue
between East and West“, extremely relevant and necessary today. In

people“, repressions. Roza Torikulovna tells about the Tatar roots of
