She states that “Russia is presented in the film as a country of gallows, drunkenness and fornication”, and in addition, the picture offends “persons officially canonized”, including Nicholas II. The unicorn, in particular, demanded to verify the legality of the spending of budget funds allocated for the shooting of Matilda. Since December 2016, Poklonskaya sent 43 denunciations to the Prosecutor General.

"The arson of cinemas, machines, attempts on explosions, calls for burning people, conducting" black lists ", threats, prayer standing of believers all over Russia against the film, rallies, caricatures, stirpotise shows that make fun of saints and Orthodox people - this is what has already come from the Matilda project," said Public.
