Tolstoy against the "War for the For Peace"

The Ministry of Culture appealed to the Prosecutor General with a request to check the Ukrainian film "War for the Peace" for extremist content. This is stated in the response of the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky to the request of the Vice-Speaker of the State Duma Peter Tolstoy, Interfax reports .

"Considering that in the video for the specified film posted in the available YouTube channel, there are scenes with obscene abuse and contained frankly false information aimed at discrediting our country, the Ministry of Culture of Russia turned to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to take measures of the prosecutor’s response in order to prevent show in Russia with obvious signs with obvious signs extremist orientation, ”the document signed by Medinsky says. The response from the Prosecutor General notes that the film was instructed to conduct an audit of the film to the Moscow prosecutor.

An appeal to the Ministry of Culture was sent by Tolstoy in connection with a possible show of the film as part of the Artdox Festival Festival. In a letter of the Ministry of Culture, it is noted that the festival is carried out without state support, and the rental certificate of the film "War for the For the Peace" was not issued.

"The story of ordinary people who became volunteers to protect the integrity of their country. Filming at the hottest points of the East of Ukraine in 2014-2015. Many participants in the film are no longer living for the film that he tells" The story of ordinary people who became volunteers to protect the integrity of their country, "the filming said in the Donbass.

The show was planned by the organizers of the festival for December 6 at the October cinema. Then he was transferred to another site to another site, to the Czech center of the Czech Embassy in Moscow. However, on December 10, the organizers canceled the session . "Around the show of this picture in Moscow, some groups of people and the media created a unhealthy situation, various kinds of accusations and threats began to arise. The organizers of the show considered that the heated atmosphere around the film demonstration could lead to undesirable incidents on the territory of the Embassy of the Czech Republic," the statement said ..

The decision to withdraw a film from the program in the statement is explained "exclusively by concern for comfort and security of guests." "We assure that in this decision there is strictly absent political motivation," the organization noted.

On November 21, Tolstoy served Medinsky and Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika denunciation to Artdokfest due to the presence of a “war for the world” in the festival program . In 2014-2015, Uneneros explained, Titarenko himself was a participant in the ATO - he served in the medical team "Hospitallers", which is part of the Volunteer Corps of the "Right Sector". Based on this, Tolstoy did not exclude that the demonstration of the picture could fall under Articles 205.2 (public calls for terrorism), 280 (public calls for extremism) and 282 of the Criminal Code (excitement of national hatred or enmity).

According to Tolstoy, it is unacceptable “a show in the network of Russian cinemas of the film, in which Russia is represented by an aggressor country, and not a guarantor of the implementation of the Minsk agreements, and the ATO fighters in the southeast of Ukraine-heroes and benefactors.”

"War for the Forces" is the second film excluded this year from the program "Artdoxfest". On December 7, the Directorate of the festival canceled the demonstration of the film about Mustafa Dzhemilev , the National Leader of the Crimean Tatars. The tape of Mustafa Ukrainian director Ernes Sarykhalilova removed the administration of the October cinema from the show after a call of unknown persons.

On Friday, the Directorate of Artdokfest came an official request from the capital's CPE. Referring to the law on operational-search activities, the security forces demanded to provide a video of the film.

In addition, the organizers of the festival were faced with problems in the demonstration of another picture - the film of the Russian director Beata Bubenets "Fleet of a bullet", which, like the "war for the sake of peace", is dedicated to the war in eastern Ukraine. On December 9, some supporters of the militants of the DPR and LPR appeared at the “Poles of Bullet” in the cinema “October”. They threatened the organizers with "serious problems" during the next demonstration of the film. The next day, the demonstration of the film in October turned out to be disrupted by the militants of SERB and the "Union of Paratroopers" . About 50 Black Hundreds, some of whom were dressed in camouflage, broke into the hall with the flags of Novorossia during a session and doused the screen with urine. Some militants smelled of alcohol. The police who were in the hall brought the militants, detained several. However, due to the stench that spread in the hall, the head of the festival Vladimir Mansky abolished the session, announcing the evacuation of the audience.
