Trivia
In a 2023 interview with GoldDerby, Daniel Roher spoke about a critical moment captured in the film where one of Alexei Navalny's alleged poisoners seems to admit involvement over the phone: "I don't speak a word of Russian, so when we were shooting that scene I didn't really understand the intricacies of what was being said. But just reading the temperature in the room, reading the facial expressions, we understood, despite our language skills, or lack of skills, we knew exactly what was happening. We knew that something explosive was being recorded. I remember filming and Maria Pevchikh's jaw, this is Navalny's chief investigator, she's depicted in the scene. Her jaw unhinges and hits the floor, and in that moment I just remember thinking to myself, 'Just keep shooting. Just keep shooting. Just. Keep. Shooting.'"

Quotes
Alexei Navalny: Please let it be another movie. Movie #2 - Let's make a thriller out of this movie and in the case that I would be killed let's make a boring movie of memory.

Hero

Absolutely fantastic documentary, it will go down in history. If you wish to know who Vladimir Putin truly is, this documentary is definitely for you. This is not just about unprecedented corruption in Russian government, this is about dismantling the facade of a strong Russian leader whose primary goal and motivation is to serve his own country, this investigation reveals his true colors of greed.

Navalny became a prisoner of conscience, knowing that he will face difficulties maybe imprisonment, and he had the courage to return to Russia. He came and was detained at the airport and the trial was at the police station , disgrace to the constitution and court. The film made millions of people realise what kind of "patriot" in reality Putin is.

Greed, evil, who accidentally coming into power used it with catastrophic consequences for Russia.
