Description:The Face of Russia is a series of three, one-hour television documentaries that seeks to illuminate the hearts and minds, the many faces of Russia, through its art and culture. This is a culture which has often taken over familiar Western art forms—painting, architecture, literature, music, dance, film, and now the drama of democratization—and suffused them with characteristic Slavic fervor and intensity.
