What can you say about the history of russian cinematography

Cinema has received a very large development. Many films have been shot since the beginning of cinematography. A lot of films were made about organized crime such as The Brigade, Gangster Petersburg and others. One of the most famous directors is Nikita Mikhalkov, who has shot many films. A lot of comedy films and melodramas shot in Russia. Soaps are very popular in Russia. Also films on historical themes are very popular in Russia. I like the films that were made in St. Petersburg, because this is a beautiful city.
