Timofeev learned about the director from a TV show in which Russian cinema and theater were discussed. After that, he decided to study the biography of Bogomolov, "came across the announcement of the production", and decided to read the reviews and the program of the performance.

“In it, a map of the USSR is drawn on a rubber doll. All participants in the performance tear her to pieces and mock her. For me, this is very low, I was born in the USSR, my parents grew up in it, and this is an insult to the majority of Russian citizens, ”Timofeev is convinced.
