61 days until Victory

Soon after the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, hundreds of cinematographers went to the front. To shoot a military newsreel, it was necessary to go literally in the front rows of the fighters with a heavy camera and without weapons in hand. Every second military operator was wounded, every fourth was killed. But thanks to their work, the whole world can still see the war as it was. One of the first female operators at the front was Maria Sukhova. When she dreamed of becoming a cameraman, women in this profession were not particularly expected. So she had to go to her dream rather winding way: before picking up the cherished camera, she worked as a cleaner, and film winder, and assistant operator. As soon as the war began, Maria almost immediately went to the front and began to film the everyday life of partisan detachments. The footage filmed by her can be seen in the film "The Liberation of Soviet Belarus" and "The Great Patriotic War". Unfortunately, Maria did not have time to shoot the Victory Parade in 1945, as she did not live to see this day. Russian film historian Valery Fomin specially for the platform "See" tells about Maria Sukhova and Ottilia Reizman - two female cameramen who devoted their lives to capture on the camera the truth of wartime. The troops of the 2nd Belorussian Front, continuing the successful offensive, captured the city of Stolp - an important stronghold for the defense of the Nazis in northern Pomerania, and also occupied the cities of Schlave, Rugenwald, Stolpmünde and more than 200 other settlements. On the Stettin direction, Soviet troops continued fighting to clear the enemy of the eastern bank of the Oder River and occupied nine settlements.
