"Forgotten Wars of Russia" is a series of documentary films about armed conflicts that the Russian state entered from the time of the baptism of Russia to the Patriotic War of 1812. Over the years, Russia has been confronted by the strongest powers: Byzantium, Sweden, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, the Golden Hordeā¦ The viewer will learn about the features of weapons and tactics of warfare at different stages of national history, will see the reconstruction of the unknown battles of Kutuzov and Bagration, Bogdan Khmelnitsky and Denis Davydov, Vladimir Monomakh and Svyatoslav the Wise. The cycle consists of 12 episodes, each of which is dedicated to the history of one war. Long gone times and events come to life on the screen in sieges and chases, the brilliance of metal and cannon smoke, in political intrigues and in the drama of human life in war.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
