According to him, Ukrainian cinema can still mock its own mentality, but Western, and especially Russian, cannot do this.
“How are Ukrainians portrayed today even in American films? That these are also bureaucratic mugs, bribe takers, bandits with such unpleasant habits. Some kind of monkey, humanoid. All bribe takers, officials, losers in casinos. This is a stereotype that is affirmed, including, unfortunately, by American popular culture in the consciousness.
This may be a justified idea, but it’s one thing when we ourselves ridicule such negative manifestations in ourselves, and another thing when our most vile and insidious enemy continues to impose these stereotypes, Russian propaganda, in its most popular products,” Chekalkin said.
