About this movie

Described as a "stealth invasion" of Ukraine, the proxy-war being waged in Donbass is a contentious conflict between pro-Russian separatists and the West. In the midst of swirling propaganda and controversy this brave doc follows Deki, a pro-Russian sniper tasked with defending his separatist comrades on the frontline of the conflict. In the midst of escalating international tensions, the film exposes an unseen side to this secretive war.

Ratings and reviews

Фильм представляет собой российскую пропаганду в чистом виде и переполнен русско-террористическими штампами, типа "гражданской войны на Украине", напрочь игнорируя тот факт, что в Украине идет развязанная русскими нацистами война. Украина отстаивает свою целостность при поддержке мирового сообщества (исключая Северную Корею). Фильм - полный мусор.

Seriously, it would be a great parody or an homage to Mel Brooks' genius with his "Springtime for Hitler" performance, but authors of that hot piece of cinema telling the viewer that occupation of neighbor's territory, racial genocide and 2.5 mil broken lifes is great and heroic thing to do FOR REAL. Just speechless, to be honest. And that's even not even to mention that scenario of this historic event is carbon copy of events in Sudeten in 40s. And returning to the headline - this Olya Schechter is claiming now that "it's only different side of coin, all opinions have a right to be heard". Yup, all genocides, wars and even Holocaust were advocated by the people like her, using that "different point of view" rhetoric to squeeze propaganda. Don't be bothered or misled by it - it's hilariously blunt and have only one thing in mind - to justify occupation of neighbors by Russian war machine.

This "movie" is a great evidence, it will be really helpful. Hope Dejan Beric will be jailed soon. Thanks! "We already have several court sentences here, in Serbia [... for] Serbian mercenaries who were fighting in the Donbass for the separatists and openly and fundamentally for Russia and I thank Serbia for that" - Ukrainian FM Pavlo Klimkin.
