Our answer to the film "Death of Stalin"

The picture of the director Kim Druzhinin “Tanks” is released. She talks about how the designer Mikhail Koshkin in 1940 distilutes the T-34 prototypes from Kharkov to Moscow. Koshkin is interfered with saboteurs and traitors, but in the end they all defeat: in the final of the film, the designer and his team meets Stalin personally on Red Square. The film critic "Medusa" Anton Dolin considers this picture a self -portrait of people who control Russia today:

“Tanks” report a lot - not only about the love of authors for Stalin. For example, about the concept of history, dear to the heart and mind of Vladimir Medinsky. Of all the directors who shoot military-patriotic cinema, he chose Druzhinin for patronage. And all because he does not deal with the comprehension of the facts, but with the construction of the “correct” myths, according to the definition of the minister himself. “28 Panfilovites” were the first evidence, “Tanks” confirm the hypothesis.
