The video was uploaded to Twitter and I asked permission to subtitle it and post it here.
The original video is here.
Unfortunately, I couldn't hear everything and I doubt some of the phrases.
me again 😅 you're probably not doing the game anymore but I wanted to ask a follow up question akdnksdnks what did you think of the майор гром movie? I saw that you have it logged on letterboxd, thoughts on the whole 'does it have a political agenda' discourse? (your field of study sounds very fun btw)
hello again!! <3 i'm still playing and спасибо тебе <3
ok so майор гром...and 'does it have a political agenda'
yes 100%, it has one. i haven't read the original comics, so i can't really comment on those–but as a film on its own, it definitely has an agenda (pro-cop, anti-protest at its heart)
*disclaimer: it's been a while since i've seen this movie, so my memory of details is a bit foggy*
like igor grom himself is a police major who goes after dissidents (and in this case, sergei) –– the film's premise emphasizes the heroism of a police officer who works for the government and keeps government interests in mind. but then again, he's also treated as a rogue and fired. however, the film ultimately makes an exemplary of him because he is able to subdue the antagonist. there's also the fact that the things sergei and his followers protest...are elements of corruption. um...
the other thing too is that sergei's/plague doctor's characterization and the treatment of his mental illness is also indicative of an agenda. Of course there's also the trope of mistreated orphan becomes an antagonist who's anti-establishment. so the film is telling us that anyone who's anti-government (and anti-corruption) has mental illness :) (oi) also doesn't he also create an app that has greater encryption? (it's been a while since i've watched it)
i feel like this film definitely has an agenda, despite the overabundance of cliches and plot-twists. Because this movie is kind of like a marvel movie (a cliched comic book action movie that isn't considered 'high art') it can get dismissed as being 'just a movie'
however, just like any marvel studios production can be read as pro-american military propaganda no matter how good or bad it is, this movie can be read as being pro-police/pro-government simply based on its premise and the construction of its antagonist.
though i haven't read the comics, i read some reviews of them and apparently they're quite political and specifically pro-government/propagandistic
so it's not really a surprise that the film would reflect the themes of its source material.

In Moscow on November 12 was held "Fandom Fest" where there was a Q&A event with the actors and creators of the film "Major Grom: The Game". Here are some interesting facts about the upcoming movie:
- Dmitry Chebatarev (Oleg Volkov) will not be in the movie. He was present on stage with the rest of the cast as a festival presenter.
- The song in the trailer was written specifically for the movie. The lyrics of the song encrypt the name of the main villain of the movie.
- Perhaps the movie will show Yulia and Igor's trip to Disneyland (a reference to the movie Major Grom: A Difficult Childhood).
- Tikhon Zhiznevsky (Igor Grom) said that his character will cry a lot and he hopes that fans will cry with him.
- Tikhon Zhiznevsky secretly from everyone, played a lot of Russian memes in the movie, which were not originally in the script
And just a really cute moment - Tikhon Zhiznevsky and Dmitry Chebatarev stood hand-in-hand with each other for almost the entire Q&A
Мечтала о том чтоб эти двое пришли вместе на шоу. Но пока этого не случилось я нафотошопила как бы это было.
Короче это мой хэд на то что Тиша и Ваня встречаются и так же Ваня снялся в мгчд💁🏻♀️ и они вместе с Тишей и Алексеем Константиновичем пришли на шоу после премьеры в кино.
Ургант: скажите Алексей Константинович, как вам было работать вообще с Тихоном и Иваном?
Алексей Константинович: хорошо было, очень весело мы время проводили. В перерывах они все время что-то снимали и пели. Название себе ещё такое придумали.
