The Russian spy made a series about its stay in an American prison. We will learn from it that only gays make a career in the USA
Butina claims that together with the director Igor Kopyłow they sought compliance with the facts, but from the first episode the series strains the credibility, presenting the United States as a place covered with a hysterical anti -Russian atmosphere, where only LGBTQ+people can be successful.
Here is our review of the series.
It is 2018, and Maria Żukowa – an ordinary Russian student – is studying in the capital of the United States. Her fiancé Walter has political connections and thanks to him Maria even goes to a meeting with Donald Trump, who is just applying for the presidency. During the cocktail, Maria accidentally eavesdrop on a secret conversation that radically changes her worldview. Shortly thereafter she is arrested as a Russian spy. The US authorities accuse her of helping Russia in interfering with the presidential election. He goes to prison, where he is tortured.
This is the plot of the series “Prison Dziennik”, based on the memories of the Russian deputy to Duma Maria Butina. In 2010, butina founded the right to wear a weapon, which was in favor of legalization of firearms in Russia. Later, she moved to the USA, officially to undertake postgraduate studies. She tried to lobby for the Russian government, making contacts with American politicians. In 2018, the FBI arrested her and accused of espionage. Butina pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
A few months after the release of Butina, she was deported to Russia, where she won a mandate in parliament as a member of the Putin party one Russia. Today she is an avid supporter of war with Ukraine. Among her last projects is a documentary about entrepreneurs helping the Russian army.
The new series about the arrest of Butina, directed by Igor Kopyłów, is pure propaganda. FBI agents are presented as psychopaths. Prisoners are shown as unjustly convicted or mentally ill. Characters from the LGBT environment force their loved ones to change their sex, and then forget them in chains in the basement, while television stubbornly claims that everything is fine in the country. The only way to get a professional promotion is to be gay.
According to this logic, the Żukowa/Butina matter is assigned to agent Kelvin Hughes, a gay expert of forensic medicine, whose colleagues have advanced to work in Washington only to get rid of him. His partner is Nancy Bell, a new graduate of the Police Academy and a former weather presenter. Despite this, they were entrusted with the “spy case of the year”, as the series describes.
Nevertheless, Butina claims that the series is a faithful reflection of reality. Before the premiere, she said: – From the beginning [reżyser] And we agreed: we will tell the truth, even if it is harsh, uncensored and painful. A sincere story, without smoothing the edge, is what people expect from us today, and this is what this series intends to convey.
Although the series takes place in Washington, all American heroes speak Russian and are ridge by Russian actors. To make it sound like an American series, some of them are additionally dubbed, and the dialogues sound like an awkward translation – the actors speak absurd issues with seriousness and stone face.
Take, for example, the following exchange of sentences between Żukowa and the inmate:
– Everyone, shut up!
– Are you talking to me, bitch?
– My fighter does not feel well. Today is her birthday. Would you sing something, please?
– No problem! (Żukowa begins to sing).
Almost all American characters are die -hard rusophobes. One of the Żukowa professors openly hates Russians.
After detention, Maria is undressed naked, handcuffed, thrown into the isolation and tortured with recordings of the screams of people. In the series, her arrest has nothing to do with her actions – he was simply to sabotage Trump's meeting with Putin.
