In childhood just a few of us thought about the story of well-known Soviet tracksuit with patterns, or how the famous Zenit camera differs from European and American equivalents. But lately I've became really interested in how these iconic things appeared and their true history. Frankly speaking, I wasn't interested in finding out that stuff in books, but thanks to the "Soviet Design" show, which in a laconic and very interesting form tells us about famous and popular things from the past, I managed to learn lots of interesting things about history, which shouldn't be forgotten.
To begin with, all the episodes last about 15 minutes, and therefore we don't have time to get bored. The format of the show is dynamic, there is no time for unnecessary reasoning and philosophy. "Soviet Design" focuses on the most important things.
In the first four episodes, we are told about how the legendary Zenit camera appeared, as well as about the emergence of the Soviet tracksuit, school uniform and a poster that could be observed both on the bulletin board at the university and on the street. Moreover, all the facts are told animatedly, fascinatingly and so that you remember them on the fly. These are what lessons should be - interesting to both adults and children.
I would also like to praise the selection of guests who, in each episode of "Soviet Design", talk about things that have rightfully gone down in history. Believe me, there are definitely no random personalities here - each character is directly related to the subject and has something to tell and to captivate our attention.
I think that "Soviet Design" will be of interest to the widest circle of viewers, because this is a truly interesting project, watching it time flies by and you want to see the next episode as soon as possible.
