Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation to show documentary films about the war in Ukraine and "the fight against the spread of neo-Nazi and neo-fascist ideology" in cinemas for propaganda purposes.

According to the order, the department should organize a patriotic documentary festival. Proposals on this matter must be prepared by February 1, 2023.

It is noted that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation should assist Russian documentary filmmakers in preparing cinematographic material about the participants in the "special operation" who "showed courage, courage, and heroism."

The Ministries of Culture and Education of Russia must, by April 1, 2023, create “public spaces, art objects, and school museums” about the participants in the “special operation” and conduct lessons on this topic in schools.

In November 2022, in the Tver region of the Russian Federation, a huge convoy of military equipment with the flags of Ukraine was unexpectedly noticed. The locals were terrified, but it turned out that they were filming a movie about the war.
