Real Cinema: Andrei Loshak

In the new episode of “Real Cinema,” Vitaly Mansky meets Andrey Loshak in Paris. Their conversation explores a generation that believed in a beautiful Russia of the future, the hopes associated with Alexei Navalny, and a country where protest led to repression, imprisonment, and emigration.

What happened to the young people who dreamed of changing Russia? Is it possible to stay true to yourself and your beliefs when hopes collapse and the world shifts rapidly to the right? And why does the sense of connection to one's homeland persist even in exile?

A conversation about a future that never came to pass, the price of resistance, and the belief that people can survive even the darkest of times.
