Recorded as Stated by Me

"Recorded as Stated by Me" is a hauntingly intimate documentary that delves into the complexities of personal and collective trauma in post-mobilization Russia, where Soviet nostalgia and decolonization discourse converge. As a man navigates the darker corners of Petersburg's underground scene, from dingy bars to somber memorials, he grapples with the weight of his own experiences and the nation's troubled past. Through the lens of this singular journey, this film offers a searing examination of Russia's ongoing struggle for identity, culture, and meaning in the face of shifting global tides.
