Russian journalist and writer Evgeny Vyshenkov found an obvious benefit in Zhora Kryzhovnikov’s series “The Boy’s Word” for schoolchildren. Her nail “Fontanka”.
According to him, the series shows that people who enter the criminal world for the sake of money and popularity among women pay the price with their lives.
“And this film, of course, needs to be shown. Not thirty-second clips taken out of context sent to classmates, but in their entirety. “When looked at carefully, it is clearly seen that it outlines the path to destruction,” he said.
This was reminiscent of the ending of the movie The Godfather, where mob boss Michael Corleone loses his daughter. According to Vyshenkov, the series asks a person the following question: Is he ready not to play a crime, but to become a criminal by risking the lives of his loved ones?
The day before Roskomnadzor did not explain Law violations in “The Child’s Word”. Ombudsman for Children’s Rights in Tatarstan, Irina Volynets, filed a complaint with RKN about the series. According to him, the project of Nizhny Novgorod director Zhora Kryzhovnikov “romanticizes banditry” and forms “false ideas about the criminal world” among young people.
