“The World Inside Out”
Even before creating the World Inside Out project, Komarov visited more than 20 countries on his own. He proposed the idea of the project to various TV channels, but each time he was refused. Only after meeting the general director of the City TV channel and one of the producers of “1+1”, he was offered to independently prepare a pilot episode and demonstrate the result.
The first season of the program “The World Inside Out” Komarov created at his own expense. The theme of the debut season was Cambodia, and it consisted of 8 episodes.

On February 24, 2023, Komarov’s documentary project called “Year” was released on the 1+1 TV channel on the anniversary of the full-scale war.
