The head of Roskino, Ekaterina Mcturidze, is the only Russian woman who told about the harassment of Harvey Weinstein. In an interview with Lika Kremer, she explained why she only decided to speak publicly now, and also talked about the reaction of society to such stories:

“The traditions of the conditional 1937 in our country are not forgotten. Fear of open, fear of taking the side of the weak, the desire to be on the side of the strong. In this case, Harvey continues to count strong, in spite of everything - because in the eyes of many he is still a powerful producer. Several Russian colleagues, with whom I spoke, believe that he will come out of the water dry. Even today, when not only against him, but also against his company, the case was aroused by the most powerful in the United States Prosecutor's Office of New York. That is, in Russia they did not still realize that this is not just a special case, but the beginning of global changes in society. ”
