Actor Sergei Burunov emphasized the significance of the series The Boy’s Word, noting his involvement in a leading role within Blood on the Asphalt. In a conversation aired on Moscow FM, writer Alexander Tsypkin discussed the series concepts and character prototypes, a discussion reported by Starhit.
Burunov commented that figures like Kashchei and Adidas remain in the cultural conversation. They may appear in a suit during business meetings, yet their presence persists in the public imagination, he explained.
According to Burunov, the modern landscape has grown safer, but it has also dulled some of the sharp memories about dangers that could cut a school day short. He argued that calls to ban The Boy’s Word feel misguided because the series reflects chapters of Russia’s history and memory, rather than glorifying any form of aggression.
He drew a provocative analogy, suggesting that if art is to be restricted, it would apply as widely as requiring modest dress in classical works such as Michelangelo or Venus de Milo. The point, he asserted, is that audiences should see context and complexity, not a blanket misfortune. The public trip through history should challenge viewers, not simply shock them, Burunov said, underscoring his belief in thoughtful reflection over censorship.
