Masha Drokova is a rising star in Russia’s popular nationalistic youth movement, Nashi. A smart, ambitious teenager who—literally—embraced Vladimir Putin and his promise of a greater Russia, her dedication as an organizer is rewarded with a university scholarship, an apartment, and a job as a spokesperson. But her bright political future falters when she befriends a group of liberal journalists who are critical of the government, including blogger Oleg Kashin, who calls Nashi a “group of hooligans,” and she’s forced to confront the group’s dirty—even violent—tactics. Danish native Lise Birk Pedersen is a graduate of the National Film School of Denmark. Her 2003 debut project, the documentary short Margarita, studies the complex mind of a Russian teenager immigrating to Denmark. Pedersen went on to make several other short documentaries and television programs. In 2011 she released two films from Russia: Nastya in Love, a teenage love story set in a transit home in Saint Petersburg, and Putin's Kiss, which is her first feature-length documentary. |
