Kusturica admired the energy of the Russians during the screening of the production in the Moskino Park

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian citizens have a special energy that is changing the world. This was announced on May 10 by Serbian film director Emir Kusturica during the screening of the production "Victory! Banner over the Reichstag!" at the Moskino Film Park.

"I like the fact that you have such energy, which, I can say, is free, with which your president is changing the world, not just Russia. He unites what is happening in the world," said the filmmaker.

He also noted that culture is a very important aspect for Putin. According to him, it comes from religion.

In addition, Izvestia correspondent Artur Ishpulatov presented Kusturica with a copy of the May 9, 1945 issue of the Izvestia newspaper.
