Is it possible to tell about Putin's Russia with its contradictions and problems in 29 minutes? No, but Victory Day is one of the sections of modern Russia shown though the characters' histories. In 2013 the Russian State Duma passed a law forbidding propaganda supporting non-traditional sexual relationship among minors. This law led to an intensification of homophobic feeling in society. There is a military parade marching outside while the characters are sitting in their cosy apartments and telling us about their lives since the law was adopted. "After the Jews and queers – one of them says – all that's missing is a law against witches". Welcome to the Middle Ages, welcome to Russia today.
