The television debut of Nikolai Lebedev’s historical drama Nuremberg is scheduled for May 9 and will be broadcast across four channels operated by Gazprom-Mmedia’s media group. The official briefing on the premiere came through TASS, confirming the plan for a wide theatrical release onto home screens, bringing a compelling chapter of 20th-century history into living rooms across the country.
On TNT, NTV, TV-3, and Friday! audiences will be able to view the feature, which centers on one of the pivotal moments of the Allied victory in World War II. The executive leadership of the holding, Alexander Zharov, underscored the significance of presenting this drama to a broad audience, noting that a shared, human perspective remains essential even in discussions of war history. He emphasized that the channels will aim to present a story made with great care and respect for the historical record, while also highlighting the moral questions that arise from the tribunal’s proceedings.
The film revisits the International Military Tribunal, the body established to try German war criminals in Nuremberg. It features a cast led by Sergey Kempo, Lyubov Aksenova, Evgeny Mironov, Wolfgang Czerny, Alexei Bardukov, and Igor Petrenko, with Sergei Bezrukov portraying the Soviet prosecutor who guided the case at the tribunal. The storytelling weaves together courtroom drama, personal backstories, and the wider geopolitical stakes of the postwar era, inviting viewers to engage with a historically charged narrative through contemporary filmmaking techniques.
In remarks connected to the production’s behind-the-scenes experience, Lyubov Aksenova previously described the shooting process as demanding, with mention of stringent resource controls during filming. This candid account reflects the challenging conditions often faced on historical cinema projects, where authenticity and production realities must be balanced to deliver a compelling, resonant portrayal of a defining moment in world history.
