Actor Konstantin Temlyak received the Golden Dziga award: he was compared to Putin on social networks

Users wrote that such a reward looks like an "indulgence for violence. " Users noted that the crime "cannot receive support and awards" for committing a crime. It allegedly signals to society that such behavior is acceptable. Some compared the awarding the Temlyak with a possible prize in Russian President Vladimir Putin for "resolving a conflict between two villages in Russia. " "We are against his war in Ukraine, but we still need to understand whether he really has attacked.

We will join the negotiations, but in [resolve the conflict] he is a decent award," users say. The actress, director and artistic director of the Kiev Drama and Comedy Theater on the left bank of the Dnieper Oles Zhurakovskaya opposed the award. In her opinion, those who make such decisions "abuse the victims and destroy the foundations of a civilized society.

" "I, as a member of the Film Academy, a woman and a citizen, I protest against the decision to assign" Golden Dziga "Konstantin Temlyak," she wrote on Facebook. The position of Zhurakovskaya was supported by Ukrainian journalist Alina Dorotyuk. The Academy of Ukraine later stated that Konstantin Temlyak received the award solely for his role in the film, not as an excuse of personality.

The Academy has condemned the actor's actions and emphasized its unified position-any manifestations of violence are unacceptable. "The Ukrainian Film Academy is ready to support the process of public discussion to protect the victims and to develop standards of response to such cases in the industry," the team said. We will remind, on August 9, a scandal broke up around actor Konstantin Temlyko.
