About the program
The basis of this television project are the materials of criminal cases of the 90s. It was then, in hot pursuit, that the authors talked with investigators, investigators, judges and those who committed violent crimes. [3] Many of the criminals were sentenced to life imprisonment. And now, after 12-15 years, a film crew led by director Vakhtang Mikeladze and television journalist Yuri Krause found some of them in prisons where they are kept for life imprisoned .
They visited the colony “ White Swan ” ( Perm Territory ) and “ Black Dolphin ” ( Orenburg Region ), visited Mordovia and the island of Fire . These correctional institutions appeared in our country after 1996, when Russia introduced a moratorium on the death penalty.
Some of those serving their sentences regret that they saved their lives. Others repented, believed in God, and in faith seek the last refuge. Almost everyone regrets what they did, even those who believe that they were condemned too strictly. Amazing metamorphoses with people occur in these colonies. The criminals behind whom the bloody trail stretches here turn into monks and preach love for their neighbor. [4] Those who recently recruited naive, stupid guys into bandits today warn everyone against such a move. Life in prison, where every day you can see the sky only through the bars, constantly communicate only with a cellmate, makes you reconsider your views on many things. All this cannot but have a serious impact on those to whom criminal life seems to be romance. [five]
The authors conducted more than a hundred interviews with life-sentenced prisoners, which made it possible to create a television cycle in which the eternal problem of crime and punishment is highlighted in a new light. [6] FSIN executives provided almost all the possibilities for filming in prisons with extremely strict regimes, so that viewers get a complete picture of life in prison for life.
Films are made in a harsh, documentary manner using film and photo documents, criminal case materials, and chronicles of the time. And at the same time, each has his own artistic decision, which has an emotional impact on the audience. [7]
