The Russian film about the Nuremberg trials, produced in Nuremberg and directed by Nikolai Lebedev, was screened in the United States. Reports from TASS, citing Igor Girenko, the press secretary for the Russian mission in Washington, confirm the event.
Girenko emphasized that the Nuremberg trials demonstrated that Nazi crimes would not go unpunished and that there is no statute of limitations for such atrocities. He noted that given current global events, the film’s relevance remains highly pronounced and hard to overstate.
Attending the screening in the United States were the Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, along with military attachés from friendly countries, scholars, and representatives from public institutions. Their presence underscored the cultural and diplomatic significance of the event.
The film’s broadcast in television is planned for May 9, with a premier on TNT, NTV, TV-3, and Friday! channels. This television premiere was announced in connection with the screening in the United States as part of a broader rollout that also included observation from international circles.
Earlier in the year, a military drama related to the same subject had its debut in Busan, South Korea. An exhibition accompanying the premiere highlighted the historical trial of war criminals, creating a multi-faceted presentation that connected cinema with public education and historical memory. The sequence of events—screenings in different countries and the accompanying exhibitions—illustrates a coordinated effort to reflect on the aftermath of war crimes and the enduring demand for accountability.
