Film "Search": All about the most quoted picture about war in Chechnya

Frames from Michel Khazanavichus's painting often appear on social networks under the guise of real documentary filming. And the Ukrainian actor Maxim even had to justify himself. In the Russian Federation, a Chechen, detained during a terrorist attack in the City City Holi Crocus, died. His family suspects that Askhab Uspanov died after torture at a police station.

And on social networks, on the background of this news, a video depicted the atrocities of the Russian military during the 1999 war in Chechnya. A short video invariably collects a huge number of comments. However, these are not documentary shooting. These are footage from the 2014 movie "Search", shot by director Michel Khazanavichus. And as one of the soldiers, Ukrainian actor Maxim Zapisochny starred. The focus will tell you what a picture is. The film begins and ends on October 16, 1999.

20-year-old Kolya (Maxim Yemelyanov), a recruitment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, finds on the troupe of a military camera and records how his colleagues are bullied, and then kill a Chechen family in their eyes in their daughter-teenage Raisa (Zukhra Duhali). The history of the circle is one of the four stories that are told in the picture. Kolya is a guy with Perm, who is sent to Chechnya instead of imprisonment for smoking grass.

The second story is about the Chechen boy Haji, the son of a murdered married couple, who, along with his little brother, tries to escape from the country covered by the war. The third is the story of Hadzh's sister: Raisa tries to find her brothers and gets acquainted with Karol, an employee of the Committee on Human Rights from France, as well as Helen, an employee of the ICRC from the United States. Foreigners and their activities make up the fourth history.

Interestingly, the first minutes of the painting, not the whole picture in general, became popular. They are shot on a amateur chamber, and therefore resemble real documentary. They most often appear on social networks under the guise of true evidence of the crimes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Chechnya. Maxim Zapisochny, a Ukrainian actor, who appears on these personnel, has become very recognizable.

So much so that in 2015 a screenshot with a frame from the film dispersed social networks with a signature, where he was called "murderer". Vladislav Nedorozhibchenko, film critic and journalist, even posted a Facebook post with a photo of an actor with director Khazanavichus. And he wrote the post, noting that "the critic did not take the film seriously, we had it completely unnoticed until it was taken by Ukrainian journalism.

" According to Nedorozhibchenko, frames from the film began to spread (and spread still) to find and punish "Russian soldiers" who committed a crime in Chechnya. "We have wondered with the idiocy of the situation with you, and a person looks at his own face on the Internet picture of a picture and reads a tons of comments about blood revenge for an episodic role in a feature film," Kin critic said. But despite the denial, frames from the movie continue to appear now.

Against the backdrop of what happened in Moscow with Uspanov, the same episode was laid by Yevgeny Chichvarkin on H. Projects. Yes, in 2019 he starred in the movie "Cherkasy" directed by Timur Yashchenko. This picture tells the story that happened during the annexation of Crimea 2014. Then the Cherkasy Marine Magnificent kept the defense in the bay of Donuzlav against the Russian fleet.

Michel Khazanavichus, in addition to the movie "Search", in 2011 made a painting "Artist", which received five Oscar and other awards. He also shot the paintings "Young Godar" and "Sliding Installation". We will remind, earlier it became known that in the Russian Federation accidentally detained the tenth person involved in the case of a terrorist attack in "City City Holi" by Yakubzon Yusufzood, who is a citizen of Tajikistan.
