"Four Lives of Peter Mamonov": a documentary about Rebellion and the Search for Meaning

Major film company Vereteno plans to release the documentary “Four Lives of Peter Mamonov” directed by Pavel Lungin on October 22, 2026. The film is a large-scale investigation of the complex and controversial personality of the leader of the group “Sound of Moo”, examining his life through the prism of four mutually exclusive aspects: an eccentric genius, a fatal rebel, a dramatic actor and a hermit-Orthodox.

The picture is built around the idea of four “lives”, in which Mamonov consistently transformed himself, completely destroying the old framework in order to regain himself. The film explores his biography, trying to answer questions about the meaning of human existence and how to remain true to yourself in the face of changing fate.

Unique archival materials, personal photos and interviews with people surrounding Mamonov were used in the creation of the tape. The film starred famous musicians (Sergey Shnurov, Yevgeny Margulis, Alexander F. Sklyar), actors (Victor Sukhorukov, Victoria Isakova) and director Sergey Loban. Filming took place in Moscow and the Moscow region.

According to Pavel Lungin, the film is "important" and raises eternal questions about the meaning of life and human fate: "Studying the biography of Mamonov, we inevitably encounter fundamental questions: what is the meaning of life?" We explore the search for the Russian man, his rebellion and the desire to transform the personality.
