Esfir Shub was born into a family of landowners. She studied literature in Moscow, but after Revolution she began to attend the classes at the Institute for Women's Higher Education and then got a job as a 'theater officer' at the State Commissariat of Education. In the theatre she worked in collaboration with the famous avant-garde director Meyerhold and the poet Mayakovsky, who was one of her friends.
Shub joined the Goskino film company and met Dziga Vertov. Their professional friendship was lifelong, but stormy. Shub shared his belief in film's intrinsic ability to reveal aspects of reality not visible to the naked eye, but she became engaged more in the interpretation of the historical world than in only contemporary matters.
First Shub worked as a re-editor of foreign films for Soviet distribution. In 1927 (the tenth anniversary of Revolution) she made her first documentary film The Fall of the Romanov Dynasty (1927). This film was the first part of the trilogy, which also consists of The Great Road (1927) and Lev Tolstoy and the Russia of Nicolai II (1928). In the process of making the trilogy, Shub had to contend with not only an overwhelming volume of material but also the problem of locating relevant footage. She often found that valuable documents of the pre-war period had been sold abroad or had been badly damaged in ill-equipped newsreel archives. Shub compensated the lack of material by using newly shot footage. Her films derive much of their power from this technique of providing a contemporary context for archival footage. Thus, Shub created the absolutely new genre 'historical compilation film'. She later claimed she just wanted to create 'editorialized newsreels'.
The critics and colleagues admired Shub's work, because she found a middle path between narrative and documentary forms. Sovkino denied her authorial rights for her trilogy claiming that she was just an editor. However, in 1935 Shub was awarded the title Honored Artist of the Republic.
In the beginning of the forties she collaborated with Vsevolod Pudovkin on the successful Twenty Years of Soviet Cinema (1940). Then she left Goskino to become chief editor of the 'News of the Day' at the central studio for documentary film in Moscow. Most of her later years were confined to editing duties. Shub was definitely the most prominent Soviet woman filmmaker of her generation.- Nikolay Slyozka was born on 30 April 1928 in Ivanitsa, Chernigov Oblast, Ukrainian SSR, USSR. He was an actor, known for Tsygan (1980), Goodbye, Pharaohs! (1975) and V znak protesta (1989). He died on 3 April 2009 in Odessa, Ukraine.

Sol Hurok was the legendary impresario who made the impossible breakthrough by bringing the Bolshoi Theatre Ballet to America During the Cuban Missile crisis. At that time he managed to separate the Russian art and culture from the Soviet politics of the day.
He was born Solomon Israilevich Gurkov on April 9, 1888, in Pogar, near Kharkov, Russia (now Kharkiv, Ukraine). He was the third son in a traditional Russian-Jewish family. His father, Israil Gurkov, was a retail trader. Young Hurok was a good balalaika player, albeit he was largely self-taught. He also worked for his father's business. At the age of 18, he was sent to study at the Kharkov Trade School, but instead he used all his money to emigrate to America in May, 1906, together with his girlfriend, Tamara Shapiro. They married in 1908 and had a daughter. In America, he changed his name to Sol Hurok, and learned English in addition to his native Russian and Yiddish. He was a peddler, streetcar conductor, bottle-washer, and hardware salesman before becoming the foremost impresario of his time. He became a naturalized American citizen in 1914.
Sol Hurok was a very inventive show promoter. In 1913, he inaugurated the popular concert series "Music for the Masses." By his own estimation, Hurok represented about four thousand artists and companies. His work was focused mainly on the Russian stars of music, opera, and ballet. He represented such performers as Efrem Zimbalist Sr., David Oistrakh, Leonid Kogan, Viktor Tretyakov, Valeri Klimov, Mstislav Rostropovich, opera singers Feodor Chaliapin Sr., Yelena Obraztsova, Irina Arkhipova, Galina Vishnevskaya, Zara Dolukhanova, ballet dancers Mikhail Fokin, Anna Pavlova, Isadora Duncan, Galina Ulanova, pianists Artur Rubinstein, Svyatoslav Richter, Emil Gilels, Vladimir Ashkenazy, and also brought pianist Van Cliburn to Russia, among many others.
In 1935, in Paris, Hurok was introduced to singer Marian Anderson by the pianist Rubinstein. He was very impressed with her talent and organized her concerts in the United States. At that time any black performer could not be welcomed by most "elitist" concert halls in America. Sol Hurok managed to overcome that; he staged an open air performance for Marian Anderson at the Lincoln Memorial on April 9, 1939. Anderson sang to the crowd of 75 thousands with such a tremendous success, that she became an overnight celebrity, and was invited to the White House by the first lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
During the 1920s and 30s, Hurok managed American tours of the Diaghilev's Ballet Russe and also the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. In the 30s, 40s, and 50s, he brought theatrical companies from Europe, Russia, and Israel, such as Habima Players, Moscow Art Theatre, Comédie Française, and the Old Vic, among others. On one occasion, Hurok was asked by Joseph Stalin to "Bring Feodor Chaliapin back to Moscow." Stalin promised big money and glory to many famous Russian émigrés if they return, but Hurok's answer to Stalin was "No." In 1946 Hurok published his autobiography, 'Impresario', and the book was later adapted into film Tonight We Sing (1953) by director Mitchell Leisen.
Hurok's major achievements in the 60s were the impeccably organized international tours of the Bolshoi Theatre with it's famous large-scale Russian operas and ballets. He later organized numerous international tours for the Kirov Ballet of Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Russia. He also brought the Moscow Art Theatre and the 'Beriozka' ensemble on several tours to the United States. Hurok made the impossible breakthrough by bringing the Bolshoi Theatre Ballet to America During the Cuban Missile crisis. At that time he managed to separate the Russian art and culture from the Soviet politics of the day.
In 1972 Sol Hurok was injured by explosion of a bomb planted in his office, one of his staff receptionists was killed, several more were injured. However, Hurok continued his work on Russian - American projects, such as his Rudolf Nureyev project involving sponsorship from David Rockefeller. Hurok died of a heart attack en route to a meeting with David Rockefeller on March 5, 1974, in New York. The service was held at the Carnegie Hall, where thousands came, including many internationally renown performers. The last word was said by Hurok's protégé Marian Anderson.- Producer

- Oksana Khvostenko was born on 27 November 1977 in Chernihiv, Ukraine. She is a retired biathlete. Her first year in biathlon was 1993. From the beginning of her career, Khvostenko proved herself as one of the best shooters in the World Cup tour. The first podium she achieved was a 2nd place in the mass start in Holmenkollen during the 1998-1999 season. But at the 1999 World Championships, she participated in only one race - the 15 km Individual where finished 39th. At the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, the first for the Ukrainian biathlete, Oksana Khvostenko took part only in the Individual event. She ended up at 29th position. There was a certain gap in her performance until the 2003 World Championships in Khanty-Mansyisk. Khvostenko won a silver medal as a member of the relay team. In the other disciplines, she placed 43rd in the Individual, 20th in the sprint, 10th in the pursuit and 27th in the mass start. Two years later at the 2005 World Championships in Hochfilzen, she was prepared excellent. Very concentrated during each race and even without winning a single medal, her results were in the Top 15 in all disciplines. Khvostenko finished 9th in the Individual, 8th in the sprint and mass start, 15th in the pursuit and 7th in the relay. No wonder after such results, she was chosen to represent her country at the 2006 Olympics in Turin. But her performance there were shockingly bad. Khvostenko placed 20th in the Individual, 49th in the sprint, couldn't finish the pursuit, didn't took part in the mass start and landed an 11th place in the relay. After such disastrous Games, more determined than ever, she made the 2006-2007 season the most successful in her career. In Pokljuka, Khvostenko made her first World Cup individual victory - in the mass start. She finished 3rd in the Individual in Hochfilzen, 5th in the sprint in Khanty-Mansyisk and 6th again in the sprint in Holmenkollen. At the 2007 World Championships in Antholz-Anterselva, Khvostenko placed 10th in the Individual, 16th in the sprint, 13th in the pursuit, 12th in the mass start and 9th in the relay. The season concluded for her at number 9 in the overall. That was the best overall finish she ever achieved. During the 2007-2008 Oksana Khvostenko doubled her success at the World Championships in Östersund. She began with a podium in the first race for the season - the 15 km Individual, where was 3rd in Östersund. A few days later, another 3rd place in the following discipline - the sprint. So far she won 2 bronze medals and added to the collection, a silver from the relay. Khvostenko managed twice 4th position in the mass starts in Holmenkollen and Khanty-Mansyisk. At the end she was 16th in the overall. Sadly Oksana Khvostenko couldn't triple her achievements from the past two seasons. At the 2009 World Championships in Pyeongchang, she finished 21st in the Individual, 34th in the sprint, 22nd in the pursuit and 21st in the mass start. 2010 was an Olympic year. She took part in every race in the program. Khvostenko placed 8th in the Individual, 11th in the sprint, 22nd in the pursuit, 29th in the mass start and 6th with the relay team. Given so, the Games in Vancouver were the most successful compared to her results in 2002 in Salt Lake City and 2006 in Turin. At the 2011 World Championships in Khanty-Mansyisk, Oksana Khvostenko was disqualified because tested positive for ephedrine at a post event doping control. The Ukrainian relay team finished 2nd but since one of the members was caught with such substance in their blood, the silver was deprived and given to the French relay. On 13 March 2011 began the one year ban of Khvostenko from the sport. Disappointed, she decided to end her career. Oksana Khvostenko is married to her fellow teammate Vyacheslav Derkach. The couple has two children, one son and one daughter.
