Description

Bad Russians is a wide-ranging study of successful Russian films that have worked to reinforce the ideology of Putin's regime over the past several decades. You have probably seen and even enjoyed many of them. But what values do these films propagate? How do they teach us to look at the past, and what myths have they created? Why are Danila Bagrov and Sasha Bely national heroes in Russia? And why are Russian comedies so xenophobic? Film critic Anton Dolin explores Soviet nostalgia, the cult of violence, patriarchy, friendship between cops and gangsters, homophobia and many more features of "bad Russian" cinema.
