Intervision 2025: foreign agents not allowed entry

Also, people involved in the “proliferation of weapons of mass destruction” are not allowed to appear in crowd scenes.

Extras on the set of the Intervision 2025 competition, which will be held on September 20 in Moscow, must not have “signs of being under foreign influence,” be on the list of “foreign agents,” and “discredit” the army. This is stated in the agreement on participation in the event, which is at the disposal of “Verstka”.

The crowd participants signed a document stating that they do not receive money from foreign sources and do not finance “foreign agents”

The document must be signed by all extras before filming, so they “guarantee” that they do not receive money from foreign sources and do not themselves finance “foreign agents.”

“If a participant is recognized as a foreign agent, the participant is obliged to immediately notify the customer about this,” the document says.

Also, by signing the agreement, the crowd participants guarantee that no cases will be brought against them under articles of “discrediting” the army, displaying extremist symbols, calling for sanctions against Russia, “fakes” about the army and others.

In addition, among the filming participants there should not be those involved in the “proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.”

“Spectators” for “Intervision 2025” had to be found for money

As “Vorstka” has already reported, more than a billion rubles were spent on holding Intervision 2025 . However, despite all the advertising of the competition, the extras had to be recruited for money. Typical advertisements for the recruitment of actors of “different nationalities” appeared in thematic groups on September 1st. For two 12-hour working days they promised to pay 6 thousand rubles. A dress code was specified separately in the advertisements - no yellow or blue colors.

The extras were then divided into groups that were supposed to imitate fans from the participating countries. They were given flags and national costumes. For example, “Russians” received kokoshniks in tricolors, “Belarusians” received embroidered shirts, “Egyptians” received pharaonic headdresses, and “Arabs” received arafatkas.
