Another project to spill some mess over the Great Soviet Victory by Anti-Soviet, rusophobic Russian community including Russian government as the Ministry of Culture and local oligarch family. Not a surprise as this is not the first modern Russian movie in WW2 setting that's been filmed supported by pro oligarchy government to paint Soviet history with black colors. Not a surprise that there is a massive resonance among the Russian people and people from ex-USSR republics as there are WW2 veterans still alive and they are different people compare to characters shown in the modern Russian films. It is common thing that many people say those directors and scriptwriters are filming movies mostly about themselves and those people that pay money for that dirty propaganda films as their characters speak and act like these days modern people. And mostly they show their characters as a drunk, uneducated gangsters instead of Soviet people of culture, honor and respect who they mostly were. It is sad to realize, that these days anti-Soviet propaganda films are coming from inside the country as often as from outside it from Western filmmakers.

This is the best anti Soviet propaganda example of how to take a book full of memories written by a Real Superhero Zaitsev, rip it apart and use as a toilet paper instead of making a movie about great people and great Victory.

Such a phenomenal piece of anti Russian propaganda from a person whose country is about to blow up of social issues. It is not about USSR or KGB. Red Sparrow, Chernobyl, Anna... They are all the same films with only one idea behind. It is about to paint all the Russians black without any time context. It is all about erasing the border between USSR and modern days Russia. Director makes it look like it is still a Soviet pre 1991 era while there are laptops, mobile phones, modern cars and many other things that don't belong to that time and for some reason pagers are still used in US what is out of normal person understanding. All that grayish colors and dirt, half ruined buildings and flats has nothing to do with real life in the Soviet Union in the 80s as the country was on its peak pretty much with all the possible social benefits such as free medicine, free education, free flats, guaranteed holiday trips from employers to the south regions of the country. Guaranteed employment after graduation. Everything was nice and clean and those gray and dirty streets filmed in eastern European countries for such films are part of modern European Union and not the Soviet Union of 80s. What is a biggest thing to think about what is going on in the western world! Such a shame to see old good directors these days multiplying their names by zero taking part in political and just stupid moneymaking projects that make people hate them all over around the globe.
