How the Kremlin pushes its «Russian world» using cinema | BIG RUSSIAN LIES #3

The episode "Cinema" from the series "The Great Russian Lie" tells about the cinema as a platform for promoting the political interests of the Kremlin.
Modern Russian cinema from year to year reflects the public policy of the state and shapes public attitudes. The world of Russian films and TV series normalizes arbitrariness, romanticizes cruelty, and glorifies power structures and the apparatus of repression.
For years, the Russians dehumanized Ukrainians through cinema, forming an image of the enemy out of them. And with the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Russia continues to make propaganda films, continuing to deliver its big lie to the audience through cinema screens.

- President of the Polish Film Academy Dariusz Jablonski;
- film distributor, producer Denys Ivanov;
- the founder of the KZhead channel "Squad of Cinematographers" Vitaliy Hordiyenko;
