2018 30 min

Overview

Fear and Loathing in Saratov. Russian elections through the eyes of direct participants in the process. The story of what measures are being taken in a quite ordinary Volga region in order to “elect” the governor. Juggling documents, deception, fights and hostage-taking - this is not a complete list of what observers had to face in the elections in Saratov in 2017. The film restores the history of the voting day, recorded in the general Telegram chat.
