A full-length feature film "Through the Cemetery" based on the story by Pavel Nilin brought Victor Turov the international recognition. This autobiographical film was greeted as a new phenomenon in cinematography. It opens a completely new view of the time on the topic of the partisan movement and occupation.

By decision of UNESCO in 1994, the film "Through the Cemetery" was included in the list of the 100 best world films about the war.
In 1995 V. T. Turov was included by UNESCO into the list of 50 world cinematographers which were the representatives of the Honorary Committee for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of cinematography.
