LOCATIONS: All Eugene’s film-friendly old-good and new contacts from Russia and ex-USSR (who live in the one-sixth territory of the globe) may offer an amazing variety of locations.
Even if Eugene could publish a new Britannica-size multi-volume edition about them one can’t mention all of them there.
However, Eugene Zykov uses to mention a multinational variety of beautiful faces – mainly girls and women – who beautify all climatic landscapes which ever exist on our planet.
Also, lots of locations which look exactly like other traditional/historic cities in the world
- lookalike channels of Venice in St-Petersburg
- lookalike Arabic villages in Central Asia,
- lookalike Hemingway’s Spanish War cities in Southern Crimea,
- lookalike Harlem or Bronx in the pre-Soviet factories no longer operating but available for film productions in Moscow or in many other Russian cities etc.
Among film professionals Eugene Zykov has become a remarkably positive force in Russian film community, both in domestic and international audiovisual events (festivals, markets, forums) or projects (feature, documentaries, TV commercials and corporate trailers). His work has improved the reputation of the Russian film industry and the working environment for international production companies.

Hi Richard, have you got the grant to shoot the film? If so, pls email me at ez@russianfilm/biz Best, Eugene Zykov, Founder, CEO Russian Film Commission
Dear Russian Film Commission Representative
I have written a historical novel series that I believe would be ideal for Russian Film Commission funding. You can read about the series at my website (www.sambatybooks.com). I think the time is perfect for me to apply for a grant so that I can make the series into big-screen movies or a TV mini-series. The reasons include the facts that readers of the series are clamoring for the series to be put on film, it would create a number of good paying jobs for fellow Americans, and it would serve as a baseline for future series to be put on film.
To put my series on film, I hereby apply for a grant so that I can make a 2-3 minute sizzle reel of the first novel in the series (“Footsteps to Forever: A Wold War II Thriller”) for submission to proposed producers. The cost of the reel will be between $10,000 and $25,000 depending on what must be done to complete the reel.
There are a number of aspects that make the series unique. There is a heroine who is a key player throughout the four novels in the series. The survivors, both on the Allied side and the German side, are taken clear up to senior citizen status by including novels on Post World War II Europe, the Korean War era, and Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Finally, great history is in the series by having American Presidents from FDR through George Herman Walker Bush included along with other powerhouses such as Winston Churchill. All of these factors make the series very unique.
Please let me know if I can furnish anything else to help you make your decision.
Sincerely,
Richard S. Baty

Dear Mr Eugene Zykov,
I am contacting you from Tartu Centre for Creative Industries (Estonia). We are a relatively young but already well established and internationally recognized organisation specialised on the field of creative industries. Our activities include business incubation but also organization of various events to promote cultural and creative industries. Our special interest lies in new technologies, particulary 3D and stereoscopic film. Next year, we are going to start a festival of short films in 3D in our centre and we are currently looking for partners. Can you suggest any school, university or company from Russia that might be interested in cooperating with us as well as have a certain level in 3D programming, animation or the like? I have surfed the Internet for several days but this has not brought the desired results. Therefore, any contact information would be highly appreciated.
I will be looking forward to your answer.
Thank you very much for your attention!
With best regards,
Ave Anniste
Tartu Centre for Creative Industries
I am looking for a Russian producer to take a look at a project titled “LENIN”. It is a biopic about the former bolshevik revolutionary leader. The screenplay has won several awards in the United States. I am looking to start a conversation with some filmmakers and producers who have ties in Russia. You can contact me by email interactions7@yahoo.com or by my U.S. number 210-778-7097.
