A large-scale study of successful Russian films that have worked for several decades to strengthen the ideology of the Putin regime. You have probably seen many of them and even loved them. But what values does this movie convey? How does it teach us to look at the past and what myths does it create? Why are Danila Bagrov and Sasha Bely national heroes in Russia? And why comedies are so xenophobic? Anton Dolin writes about nostalgia for the USSR, the cult of violence, patriarchy, the friendship of "cops" and bandits, homophobia and much more that is still in "bad Russian" films.
