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.

My lads are doing the Mongol invasion bit in year 8 history right now, so this looks handy. The steppe riders title caught my eye straight away – proper dramatic for a one-minute clip. Might stick it on the telly after tea and see if it sticks better than the textbook.
