Mass cultural boycotts of Russian culture such as banning books by Dostoevsky, the Bolshoi, pulling Russian films from film festivals, operas, plays etc is extremely wrong because a disgraceful autocrat is carrying out atrocities that is not in the name of the Russian people. The bastardization and degrading of culture is always wrong and it can expand to wider barbarity and dehumanization. Censoring Russian art is not an anti-war position.
Let’s talk about Russian culture. We’ll touch upon various aspects like cinema, literature, music, etc.
2016 is the year of Russian cinema in Russia. To be honest, Russian film industry leaves a lot to de desired. Money is rarely allocated to those who really deserve it. However, there are many indie directors who make authentic masterpieces and are celebrated at international film festivals. Andrey Zvyagintsev here is one of those. Extremely talented writer and director films movies that get the best reviews and awards in Cannes and Venice. Be sure to watch the movies listed on the picture. To give yourself a clear picture about the director’s style you may start with his latest chef d'oeuvre Leviathan.
