"...we again started cutting out erotic scenes from films. Moreover, from films, although not masterpieces, they were quite normal and in which these scenes were quite appropriate. I found at least two films: “Love in Russian” (scene cut out in the bathhouse) and “War” by Balabanov - a small erotic scene at the beginning of the film was cut out (Ingeborga Dapkunaite was partially left in, but it wasn’t actually erotica). on TV, let’s say, it was somewhat different... I also remembered E. Klimov’s film “Welcome, or No Entry to Outsiders.” There, during the screening of “Fanfan-Tulip” in the pioneer camp, the counselor covers the projector with a piece of plywood during kisses. By the way, it worked - in the early 70s I had the opportunity to work as a projectionist for a couple of shifts, and we were no longer given such absurd recommendations. I don’t think that the instructions come from somewhere above. Most likely, some middle-level clerks take the initiative - these b. *** are usually the most vigilant. Therefore, the request is this: so that they do not disgrace the country further, you gentlemen of Muscovites would give them a sheet of plywood, preferably tied with a white ribbon. Maybe they’ll come to their senses... Otherwise, some lady will stand up again and declare to the whole world: “There is no sex in the Russian Federation!”
