I miss the old days when documentaries would bring people back from the dead to interview them.
lmao
lol
That's why I love UA-cam. Little gems like this just pop up, years later.
Yes. And is it not horrible to think they could be lost into a memory hole?
hi, where can i find the full thinh?
This is definitely an algorithmic gift. Was rereading Nabakov, but on real pages, so I'm pretty sure UA-cam had no idea.
☺️
I just find it amazing they have video of him. I never thought i'd see the day but technology is certainly making crazy strides. It's like that back to the future movie, back to the future i think it's called.
This is pretty interesting because the man portraying Dostoyevsky looks almost exactly like him. It's eerie.
Good make-up artists are a rare commodity.
not at all
@@westerling8436 he obviously does
Wasn't he just a homeless guy
I gotta be honest, I actually thought it was him, and then I looked it up and turns out the year of his death was 1881
This is the way every conversation I've had with a Russian ends 😂
It's ridiculous that some people manage to find professional Russian actor for *documentary* , actor who looks like Dostoevsky at that, while *high budget films* hire actors with absolutely unintelligible accent so that even Russian viewers read English subtitles to understand at least something they say.
This actor (of D) is rather amazing.
He really is mesmerizing.
Those were Dostoyevskys own words. Taken from some of his stories and old interviews.
I hope what you say is true ! It is indeed so well written and so plausible
It wouldn’t surprise me, the quality of its writing is so superior, that it couldn’t possibly belong to a low-budget documentary writer. It would surely have to belong to someone who has a talent of that equal to Dostoevsky.
RIP Dostoevsky, greatest novelist who ever lived
He was, he is and will always be. The brothers Karamzov is the greatest thing to exist.
Tolstoy war and peace is better
Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot are best novels to read. If you want to learn the meaning of life.
@@mortemoccasus2412The Brothers Karamazov might be a divinely inspired book.
Dostoevsky is, and will always be, the greatest writer of all time. This is ILushas Rock.
"Brothers Karamazov" story about Ilusha's rock is truly moving.
wow!!!!!
Absolutely. A 12 years late comment, but one that had to be made...
People who dont know Machado de Assis...
Позволю себе не согласиться, нет человека, что глубже бы понимал человеческую сущность, душу, натуру, как угодно, чем великий Антон Павлович ЧЕХОВ!
Yeah, this will never make past obscure channels. It makes you think. And "think" - is the last thing, that anybody wants you to do, especially people in charge of our lives... I am fluent in both languages, and this is brilliant! To whoever posted this - big Thank you, and to LucDan
Bless you.
I have thought! I think! I shall think!
So well written, so well played, and above all there is this fascinating feeling that this anachronism is totally normal.
I seriously wish videos like this were abundant. this is mesmerizing, the guy looks like Fedoro's clone wow. and it just captures your being. back when CGI hadn't taken over everything and people still valued morals and wisdom.
Those humans in modern times who could righteously converse with the true greats of literature are few and far between; Sir Ustinov was that rare talent in all generations. Not only a great performer, but polyglot, erstwhile historian and more. This series could be called 'Conversations With Legends'. Beautifully done and savored.
“While I, who have traces of insanity…. Try desperately to look normal. To be understood.”
Wow.
This is absolutely surreal.
What an actor...if ever a biopic made of FD, this guy should play him. He nailed it.
But i want to talk 5 min with Dostoyevsky too!
Read Dostoevsky's "The Writer's Diary"
What a noble head of a genious writer-philosopher who has illuminated humanity
for ever . Great upload .
Am I the only person who would like to see this 1986 series in full?Apparantly it still turns up on Canadian tv every now and again.Any kind canucks out there to oblige us?
fantastic!
what an actor
and BRAVO to USTINOV
I'm back here after one year on today, November 11... On Dostoevsky's birthday.
Same time, several singles celebrate their day today and they should spend time reading this guy's novels to learn the meaning of life.
I did, they teach me everything.
Aeschylus, Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky represent the eternal human wisdom.
This brilliant dialogue and performance goes beyond itself and turns into a
communication between Hamlet and Karamazov, Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia, West and East.
Shakespeare??? Don't try to be funny lmao
@@jeidelbergin what do you mean?
6:05 My eyes became moist...
A truly beautiful clip- both emotionally and philosophically. I do very much wish they had Ustinov's "Russia" series available in its entirety in America. I checked online and I couldn't find anything, like the posters above. On the bright side, there is another clip from the series featuring an interview with Galileo Galilei available on UA-cam. I found it quite good.
Thank you for this post!
They are available now on YT.
Nice!!! loved the acting :)
Wow, they are great !!!
Fantastic👏 Somehow the algorithm brought me here. Thank you for sharing this gem
I well remember this documentary.. from the 80´s. We are all missing Sir Peter.
Damn! Fedor is pretty real!
I would pay money to get ahold of this documentary....anyone know where we can find it?
Did you ever find it?
=)))))))))))))
Same question, could you get a hold of this documentary?
I've read Joseph Frank's biography on Dostoyevsky and pretty sure this is not the way he talks, he's way more animated and sickly, but still this is absolutely amazing! It's as if the great man come alive.
Read David Foster Wallace essay about Joseph Franks Dostoyevsky biography. Don't take it too serious.
@EnigmataTH Maybe he did mean something else. I often hear some people claim that Dostoevsky's statement is Calvinistic, but I disagree. Calvinism is too simple and naive to be an idea that Dostoevsky would stand behind. That's what I like about Dostoevsky's philosophy, it is dynamic. I would even argue that it is more dynamic than Hegel. Reading Dostoevsky is like staring your humanity in it's true face - I get no such impression from Hegel.
What an incredible actor the man portraying Dostoevsky is. When he tensely turns his back to the camera and nervously taps his fingers on the iron post of the bridge and then sharply turns to Ustinov with tear filled eyes; I felt I might cry with and for him. So short a scene, so full of what we all feel at some point in our lives.
Oh, I agree. =D The very fact that a being like Dostoyevsky once existed says a lot about the human condition.
One of the greatest writers ever.
Dear English-speaking readers of Dostoevsky, what you may not fully appreciate is that he is, first and foremost, a great story-teller, and uses mesmerizing language. It's his "sound" rather than any ideas or philosophy that make him a truly great writer. I think he is a poet, much more than a religious philosopher (and btw all Russian philosophy is more or less of this nature: nothing rational about it, but lots of poetry.)
This is so good
Everyone talking about Doestoyevsky but here I am thinking about how the man who starred as the interviewer, was very smooth with his acting, never breaking the mood, less expressive, yet though very apt to the situation, this guy was a great actor too, good one, my guy, if he's even alive, and if this channel would be kind enough to notify him.
I wonder if Mr. Dostoevsky was contemplating suicide there prior to Ustinov happening along & interrupting the great novelist's possibly self-destructive thoughts. If so, we have Ustinov to thank for saving the man's life. All it took to re-engage the Russian's desire to live was a little philosophical questioning.
He really gives some great points about Jesus.
Jesus Christ brought before Governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate. He was questioned by Pilate who had opportunity to find out The Truth. John 18:36-38. Pilates famous response, "What is truth?" So too nowadays. The Truth is Christian but can't be found in any divided denominations of Christendom. Acts 17: 24-31. There is a United people on this planet carrying out JC's Commandment. Matt 24: 3,14; 28:19,20.
There was only one Christian and he died on the cross - Nietzsche
What a concept. Genius
Is it possible to see this series in full?
What a treat and revelation... I stopped breathing while watching it!.. Such great thing can only make people of genius. Anybody knows more about this?
Filmed in Moscow, by AA F Victor Solnicki Productions around 1986. Dostoyevsky is played by Olegar Fedoro. He had a small role in Mission Impossible, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Ali G Indahouse, among others and is still appearing in roles today, but I think he is exceptionally good in this documentary.
the hell he was 28 when he did this whaaat?
"...that suffering is the only way to future happiness", this is not accurate translation. What he actually says "... to POSSIBILITY of future happiness"
thank you for this
I haven't read many of Dostoyevsky's books but the idea that suffering is purifying, and that a certain pleasure may be in suffering is present in his "Notes From The Underground". Also, the mood of "Dostoyevsky"'s speech and the philosophy presented in this dramatisation deeply relate to that of the - fictional (as said in Dostoyevsky's commentary) - character which discourses in the first part of this work. I'm not sure how distanced from Dostoyevsky's is this "fictional" character's persona
Dostoyevsky's books helped complete me as a human being. I urge you to read this man's books.
Good for you to read this book!) Not everybody even here does this. Cheers from Moscow)
@Jitpring Yes, I was surprised at how good that was.
@Jitpring Holy cow...When I saw a preview picture the first thing I've thought is "ghosts"
What you seek is seeking you
Я пересмотрю это еще множество раз
one of the greatest thinkers
Просто превосходно!
@StravMishkin2 The most beautiful performance...
This is the only fragment from "Russia" series filmed in 1986 available here.
Could anyone suggest where to find the full video?
5:23 'крепостям' 'krepostyam' means 'jails' in the sence of edifice here, not 'fools'. Thanks for this piece and for sharing it on YT. Very interesting. 👍
i think it more like "hard times" what is ment by "krepostyi "( in plural, dativ of the speech here)
@@ekatasatya2995 I am a native Russian speaker, it means jails.
Thank you for comment, you very nicely expressed your thought
@@ekatasatya2995 The more accurate term for translating 'krepostyam' is 'dungeons'.
The way He looks with those eyes into the Abyss of My existence like My Soul feels naked vulnerable as if He could examine every thought My brain producing🥰 🤯🥰
красота! А чего Устинов по-русски не говорит?
Потому что он не просто Устинов, а фон Устинов)
amazing!!! i loved every second of it. what is this for?
ofcourse
Wunderbar! Beautiful performance...
wow!! bravo!!!!
Culture on a superior level !
This is a 48 minute film entitled Russia. The actor playing Dostoevsky is Olegar Fedoro.
Where can i find complete video?
I'd love to get it too. Where can I find it?
I don't understand how they managed to meet, Dostoyevsky died before Ustinov was born. Is this video real?
Hahahaha...ass.
They had to buy a time machine from the black market somewhere in the Balkans to make this possible, look it up, quite a story really
brilliant!
Was half expecting ol Fedya to toss himself into the Neva at the end of the interview
А я ведь испугалась на секундочку ахахах )
Awesome :) thanks for this
This was a very beautiful writing of dialogue. Dostoyevsky strongly reflects that dualistic philosophy of man consistently throughout.
12345senha.
of course he felt that way.
I was under the impression that others thought it was real, read the posts below my first one. I did not, for one second, think this was real, but was correcting others. I've said nothing about this supposed program, or the channel that it was played on, and no, I am canadian.
Learn to finish your sentence, you don't think Dostoyevsky truly thought that the only way to achieve happiness is what?
Got a good actor, then an Ustinov, got urself one good 6:46 clip.
Know anyone whom the Dostoevsky is?
The actor's name is OLEGAR FEDORO
@auchandy - you can see him on iMDB . com
this is somewhat how i pictured raskolnikov to look like
@Jitpring like who?
Es probablente el escritor más grande de todos los tiempos
Claro que si
Excellent acting.
Great! Great! Great! Reading all his works i associate with a complex element like fire, whose power is the same time consuming and purifying, distructing and live giving, just like the greatness of Dostojewski.
Watching this vid one one just cant disagree with the sentence of M. Bulgakov that "Dostojewski is immortal" ( in "Master and Margarita)
Thank You for uploading this!
the likeness
The real Dostoevsky probably knew English. Anyway, both he and Ustinov spoke French so ...
Beautiful video
Profound.
Very thought provoking.
As Tolstoy said, we must pity the ruler who orders a genocide, for the poor will now rest, and the ruler will be worse than a pest. We forgive even that, for not even the ruler deserves to be a fool forever.
Happy birthday
New modern feature version of "notes from the underground" now on my channel.
How this was joyful to watch. Dostoevsky is one of my favourite authors.
хорошо сыграл,я почти поверил.
I cried twice profusely reading his Karamazov Brothers.
Just wow fantastic I want to be Russian genuinely inspirational Brothers K here I come .......
There probably won’t be another Dostoevsky…ever.
Pitty for the botched audio.
Great writing - great performance.
anyone know the song in the beginning?
Yesterday is Dostoevsky's 200th birthday. Happy birthday, Mr Dostoevsky.
😘✋
youtube algorithm is finally understanding what i truly want, impressive but also scary in some ways
"The sun will rise in the East" - The Brothers Karamazov
I’m watching this at 6 am while eating breakfast. I have no idea who the Russian man is, but he is thought provoking and even calming
The Russian man is (an actor pretending to be) an author, Fyodor Dostoevsky. I’d recommend checking out his books, they’re really good
My right ear enjoyed this video
Comforting medicine this russian rough melancholy. Thanks.
