Lobachevsky Space

Пространство Лобачевского
Like in Lobachevsky's geometry where space is abundant and straight lines are curved, in the film "Lobachevsky space" unusual mathematics is spiced up by a good portion of background history and current politics. Past and present, science and politics, Russia and Germany, Lobachevsky and Gauss are confronted in a polyphonic dialogue. A modern portrait of a lonely genius, rector of Kazan University, whose pioneering ideas forestalled the development of mathematics and science in general. Lobachevsky's story reemerges through the observation of the daily life of scientists in Kazan, Berlin and Göttingen.
