Russian Propaganda at the Movies
Background Information
Romania's Culture Ministry has canceled the showing of two Russian movies in Bucharest cinemas after RFE/RL publicized an initiative by the Russian Center -- an institution that ostensibly promotes Russian culture in NATO member Romania -- to show films dedicated to a celebration of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's first flight into space on April 12, 1961. "It's unacceptable that such obvious propaganda productions sponsored by the Russian state be shown in public cinemas," Culture Minister Raluca Turcan said on April 10. The movies, The Challenge (2023), and Spacewalk (2017), are considered Russian propaganda vehicles by critics. To read the original stories by RFE/RL's Romanian Service, click here and here.

This is propaganda because
The story of the film is about cosmonauts who confront their greatest fears when an unforeseen accident endangers their mission. They must come together to overcome the insurmountable, or risk being lost forever. The film is trying to unify Russians at a time when they have a number of divisions and fears.
