“Mausoleum” tells a dark satire of the pathologist Abrikosov, who embalmed Lenin’s body, and in theory managed to overcome death.

The story follows Abrikosov’s and his apprentice’s critical night, when they have to solve a fatal problem with Lenin's body in the Stalinist Moscow 1936.

Recently “Mausoleum” won Honourable Mention of the Jury in Mumbai International Short Film festival.

The end of the 2016 was especially successful – Best Foreign Film Award at the Toronto Short Film Festival; Scanorama Vilnius – Best film Award, Accolade Global Competition – Award of Excellence, opening film of the Cottbus Film Festival…  competing at several festivals around the world.

 “… a fly hasn’t been quite so scary since Jeff Goldblum…

… a tragicomedy managing to both be truly tense, scary, and at the same time completely ludicrous, what’s possibly most chilling of all is how close to the truth this film is.”

Companies disclose more on cybersecurity – but markets remain indifferent

U.S. companies are reporting on cybersecurity in greater detail, yet stock market reactions remain muted. A new study by the University of Vaasa and 911 shows that mandatory cybersecurity disclosure does not prompt reactions from investors or stock analysts.
