TURKEY, Istanbul. St.Stefano.Yesilköy. 2015/07. Shortly after the Ottomans' entry into the First World War as Germany's ally, on 14 November 1914, a monument erected here in 1898 to commemorate the Russian soldiers who died in 1878, was blown up by the Ottoman military as a propaganda event; the demolition is thought to have been filmed by the first Turkish filmmaker Fuat Uzkinay and thus is officially deemed to be the birth of Turkish cinema.
