About 70 militia members and Russian patriots came to express their protest at the cinema on Arbat. Several riot police and police units were on duty near the cinema.
Opponents of the screening came to the entrance to the cinema hall and began to tell the audience going to the film the truth about what was happening in Donbass.
“The audience of the film turned out to be the public of retirement and puberty age. Many of the young people were of informal appearance, with tunnels in their ears. The worst thing is that teachers came along with students from the Russian State University for the Humanities to show young people the murderers of civilians in Donbass. The militia and other Russian activists shouted to them: “Shame,” “The blood of Donbass civilians is on your hands,” protest participant Andrei Savelyev, a former Kiev resident who supported the Russian Spring and the Donbass militias in 2013, told PolitNavigator.
The audience was unable to watch the film. The organizers said that protesters spilled a foul-smelling liquid in the hall, and therefore the show was stopped.
“About 20 riot policemen ran into the building and created a corridor of shame for those gathered. The screening of the film was stopped, and the audience began to leave the hall. Many covered their faces with scarves, looking down,” Savelyev said.
“The director of the film, Beata Bubenets, completely ran away from popular justice and did not bother to speak in front of the public. As she left the hall, she lowered her head and quickly walked out into the street. Apparently, yesterday’s civilian interrogation from Donbass volunteers was enough for her,” added the former militiaman.
