"Today I want to talk about love, about the history of Russia, about the art of painting. You can't say it in words — you have to tell stories, film stories," the director explained.

Konchalovsky added that some colleagues on the shop floor may refuse such projects for fear of being sanctioned. However, the director himself is already under restrictions and, according to him, this does not stop creative activity.
