They were at the cutting edge of science in fields such as arithmetic and in more than a few branches of material science, notably theoretical physics, chemistry, and astronomy.as a country soviet has gone much far in terms of innovations

Very beautiful. I like very much the landcapes with the trees, very Russian, birches, so Tolstoï. A good reportage with also a touch of poetry. The sound illustration is very interestibg too. Looking forward to seeing other works. Bravo. Have a good summer. E.

I've never found anything that Magnum did, but I guess there's a first for everything. This is interesting but not cohesive. What's the story here? Without the super to start it I wouldn't know what it was, and if you can't tell the story with the pictures/video, whey tell it at all?

It is quite an eerie and well done essay, especially the Numbers Stations that periodically play throughout. Excellent work!
