Durakovo: Village of Fools Durakovo
Thu 03 OctNino Kirtadze gained unprecedented access to film a group of Russian nationalists in Durakovo, 150km southwest of Moscow. Winning the Sundance Film Festival director’s award, the eye-opening documentary shows a Russia that allowed Putin to become who he is today.
Russian nationalism percolates in a castle outside Moscow, where Mikhail Morozov rules autonomously over young initiates, laying the groundwork for a rapidly growing right-wing movement.
