A sixth episode is mostly devoted to time when defeated in civil war White Army escaped from communistic authorities to Turkey which has of tantalizing because it was beginning of a first wave of Muscovy emigration. A following seventh episode has reasoning about Turkish TV series as I wrote. And there was a film on Turkish Islam. TV program rescheduled it few times and eventually this episode wasn’t shown by making only to assume on what occurred.
I caught a piece with an ordinary Muscovy woman whose speaking on her not understanding of Turkey enhanced me toward over with The Turkish Notebook while a part on emigrants from Muscovy was in the end on eight minutes and it was mostly acceptable though listening that female who married on Turk and made kids can see she doesn’t comprehend on her originating country what is common there. However, I got interesting in listening of international couple as mostly from her husband.
Whereas episode’s accenting on White Army emigration is a mighty part by made me to feel not at first time about what was lost on that one-sixth of world’s land. This side of war also wasn’t perfect but it contained all finest people. It’s place comes to objectiveness and observes from all sides. Brilliance makes a Professor of Russian language and literature Turkan Olcay who knows subject painstakingly and speaking beyond by saying precisely on sameness between Muscovy and Turks and a first aren’t close to the West as they believe and she tells exact on origin of their East which she assuming politely but it’s their belonging. I disagree with her on good-kind qualities of Muscovite people because “wideness of soul” isn’t in them as it has in Western European nations as Italians or Spanish. Professor Olcay says truth that Turk and Muscovian will understand each other than a Western person. Nevertheless, I started to lose attraction with watching in some moment because these two cultures are alien to me. But I hadn’t change in intention.
A final episode reasoning about TV series doesn’t take a long time (which doesn’t need.) for confirm it is not a high art and they express opinion of authorities through Pozner’s and interviewees. It’s in speaking how goes a production process, about costumes and a historian of Ottoman Empire Ebubekir Subasi who is one man saying all. A shown pieces of a couple of shows describe in distracting by overdramatizing, primitive staging, surrealism and plot oriented on not an intellectual audience. Producing series people covering by excuses wanting to convince that their fictionalization brings a positive influence. While these shows present Ottoman Empire in greatness and without dirty truth what is same as Muscovy has about the Soviets in everything. Pozner expresses concurrences of modern times with this current empire. Because both these territories have nostalgia about was being grandeur as they accept. The episode does come back to same place again. It would require once for explaination by showing imam Emre Sessiz and his telling on Turkey’s past. His look and saying on the Ottoman Empire is definition. They can’t be an European state as it was pointed on their origin in a first episode which I see meaningful here and this episode demonstrated their arrogance through one businessman believing they helped to raise Germany and France after the Second World War. Turks were hired as workers for building and nothing extraordinary in about first and he is wrong on a second, because deal signed between France and Turkey for taking Turks as workers was in 1965. Pozner doesn’t correct on that and he laughs in place when Ali Karacan’s speaks that Turkey wasn’t accepted in the European Union by fear in youth of his nation will overrun of getting old population of Europe without mentioning many real factors which are not positive. I got dislike to a media tycoon by his wishing to enter in the EU while a truth would be that Turks arise unrest and it can see in Germany. This was a nonsense to even have a discussion on accepting what is an Asian nation. Whereas Vladimir Pozner doesn’t express a personal opinion on should or not Turkey be in this unification.
The last episode has a couple repeating pieces from interviews on Turks and Ottoman Empire which were in a first film but I'm not critical. Almost.
Pozner concludes series on what was initially from beginning and repeated in times. From there he moves to his reasoning as Muscovian by making easy as complex where I can’t be in solidarity as well as I had disagree with few other interviewees. While a documentary itself isn’t usual ideal but excellent one.
