On February 13, the Russian Embassy in the United States hosted the premiere screening of the documentary film “People of Christ. Our Time” by the renowned Serbian director E. Kusturica. The film describes the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the Kiev regime, as well as the oppression of the rights of Christians around the world, including acts of violence against believers. In the film citizens from different countries, including Russia, Serbia, Great Britain, Italy and Ukraine, share their views on the issue.
The event was attended by colleagues from the CIS and Serbian diplomatic missions, Orthodox clergy, Russian representatives to the Bretton Woods institutions, journalists, compatriots, and a number of American political scientists.
The guests had an opportunity to observe the exhibition stands on the crimes of neo-Nazis in Ukraine and the normalization of the socio-economic conditions in the new regions of Russia, as well as to see the expositions on the fight against the Nazi invaders during the Great Patriotic War, the 80th anniversary of the Victory in which we will celebrate in 2025.
