Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Fyodor Bondarchuk comes from Soviet cinema royalty—his father directed War and Peace (1966), the most expensive Soviet film ever made.
The film satirizes United Russia's 2010s political machine, where image consultants and speech coaches were suddenly essential for every candidate.
