Nikita Mikhalkov once said: “He created the planet Bondarchuk.” His time was the heyday of cinema. His films are world masterpieces. “They Fought for the Motherland”, “The Fate of Man”... The film “War and Peace” was awarded three prestigious foreign awards - an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a US National Film Council Award. Thanks to the genius of Sergei Bondarchuk, the immortal work of L. Tolstoy has become an immortal work of cinema. This is, indeed, an entire planet. A new book, created by the joint work of many journalists, actors, directors, reveals the creative and life path of a genius. The satellites of “planet Bondarchuk” speak about a bright destiny - about the brilliant take-off and the last thorny path of an artist and a person, about days of happiness and days of struggle with new times. The main lyrical heroine of Sergei Fedorovich’s entire life is Irina Konstantinovna and children - Fedor, Elena, Natalya; friends and colleagues - G. Danelia, A. Konchalovsky, N. Mikhalkov, K. Shakhnazarov, V. Lanovoy and many, many stars, warmed in the rays of the huge luminary of Soviet and world cinema, talk about the war and peace of Sergei Bondarchuk.
