Overview

Mountains of books and many films have been written about the Yalta Conference – the meeting of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill, which took place in February 1945 and determined the fate of the post-war world. It would seem that everything has been known about these events for a long time. But only relatively recently, thanks to the research of the famous Russian historian William Pokhlebkin, we became aware of the details of a grandiose "culinary" action – a series of banquets that accompanied the negotiations of the allies in the devastated Crimea that difficult, still military winter. For obvious reasons, these feasts could not get into the field of view of the newsreelers of that time. But ... miraculously preserved materials give us the opportunity to feel their scale and specific atmosphere. No one says to see. And no one claims that the materials are documentary.
