Journalist Yegor Checherinda wrote about this on his Facebook page.
“Today I watched a masterpiece of Russian agitprop - the openly anti-Ukrainian film “Match”. A film adaptation of the Soviet myth about the “death match” and the Dynamo Kyiv players, who were allegedly shot by the Nazis for allegedly winning a football match against the Germans. In fact, only a few were shot, and not for the match, but for sabotage at the Kiev bakery. And to hell with it. This is a Russian propaganda film, filmed in Kyiv during the early Yanukovych era. “Many questions were raised by the role of Ostap Stupka in this film, who plays an anti-Semitic cowardly policeman with a Ukrainian flag on his hand, who personally shoots Jews and mental hospital patients in Babi Yar,” the journalist noted.
“But what surprised me even more is that the director of the crowd and sports scenes in this film, according to the credits, was the famous Ukrainian director, author of “The Guide” Oles Sanin. That’s it... Today – the anti-Ukrainian “Match”, tomorrow – the pro-Ukrainian “Guide”... I don’t want to judge, but questions arise automatically...” writes Checherinda.
Let us remind you that the film “Match” is dedicated to a heroic page in the history of Ukrainian sports - the so-called “death match” between Dynamo Kyiv football players and the Nazis, which took place in 1942. Ukrainian nationalists were outraged by the fact that the film showed a true picture of German-occupied Kyiv - with yellow-blue flags of collaborators on institutions and policemen with yellow-blue armbands.
Since September 2014, after pro-Bandera forces came to power in Ukraine, the film “Match” has been banned from showing in Ukraine as propaganda.
Oles Sanin is also the author of the propaganda film “The Guide, or Flowers Have Eyes,” which is popular among nationalists, based not on real historical facts, but on a false and long-debunked nationalist fake, composed in the Ukrainian emigration about someone allegedly executed by the Soviet authorities in the 30s years of the last century “Congress of Ukrainian Kobzars”.
This propaganda fake circulated through the pages of the anti-Soviet emigrant press for more than half a century, and after Ukraine gained independence, it began to spread throughout Ukraine as “historical truth” and one of the proofs of the “crimes of the Bolsheviks.”
