Blogger and translator Dmitry “Goblin” Puchkov criticized the 2002 crime television series The Brigade. How report “Arguments and Facts” described the series as disgusting.
In an interview with the Macarena YouTube channel, she described the main characters as not gangsters and compared them to men of non-traditional sexual orientation. Perhaps there were such people somewhere in Moscow. “I have never seen such people,” said Puchkov, who previously worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and in the prison.
As an example of good gangster movies, Puchkov cited the series The Sopranos, which he saw as “a textbook on organized crime,” and the series “Fight” with Robert de Niro, who communicated with real prisoners while preparing for the role. “And Seryoga Bezrukov was asked if he consulted the bandits. And Seryoga answers: “Why? I grew up here.” Here’s such a thug … Well, it doesn’t seem to work. It’s not even close and it’s not about that, ”she concluded.
formerly Puchkov suggestedthat the movie “The Three Musketeers” starring the dark-skinned D’Artagnan would fail at the box office.
