STATEMENT

The producer Pavel Bardin had shot a film “Russia 88”. This is a film about Russian Nazi-skinheads. During recent years the youth fascist bands activated their actions abruptly. They resort to crueler and crueler violence beating systematically and killing those whom they consider to be “racially inferior”. Quantity of their victims numbering lots of dozens grows all the time. It is clear that the skinheads are an immediate threat for security of Russia. Bardin’s film that tells about this threat emotionally and brightly could play a serious role in its recognition by our society. 

But “Russia 88” is not admitted to the cinemas. Bardin’s troubles started after the film got a triumphal reception early in February 2009 at Berlin cinema festival. Late in that month, before showing at festival “Spirit of fire” in Khanty-Mansiysk, some high-ranking person demanded to exclude the film out of the program from jury. The jury did not agree to this but, due to unprecedented pressure, it awarded not the main prize to the film (as it was going) but a special prize. 

Moreover, the film show in Moscow failed more than once. Thus, on April 18, 2009, before the film showing in “Rolan” cinema, the bosses of special militia detachment stated the “impossibility of providing safety of the spectators”. As a result, “Russia 88” was replaced by another film – “I always wanted to be a gangster” (this one is all right - here you are!). The same took place later in other Moscow cinemas (it was prohibited “for technical reasons”, by order of FSB employees etc).
