Project “Minute History. A Thousand Years of the State" is carried out by the magazine "Foma" together with the interregional organization of large families "Big Family".

In 60 videos - one minute each - we talk about the most important people, events and cultural phenomena of the thousand-year history of Russia. By topic, they cover the time from the first settlements and unions of the Eastern Slavs to the end of the 19th century, when the Crimean and Russian-Turkish wars were going on and Central Asia was being developed.

The content of the videos corresponds to the paragraphs of school textbooks for grades 6–9: the chronology is preserved, the program is taken into account.

The project is being implemented with funds from a grant from the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives.

Interesting that this video is about the Battle of Sinop. My husband once told me how they learned about Nashirov and those burning Turkish ships in school. Have you watched this video yourself or just the teaser?
