People in the West often think Socialism and multiculturalism go hand-in-hand. In reality, most socialist countries in the past and today are actually ethnostates.
Oh how could i forget the famous ethnostates of the USSR and Cuba

Taking 5 years to film a movie is extreme unless you’re making something like the Soviet War and Peace, but I guess you have to exclude 2020-21 so it practically would only be 3 years or so. 3 years of filming is still on the long side though, sounds like it was in development hell.
But I have to wonder, surely the script was reviewed and approved before they went into production, right? I can’t imagine a company going through the expense of making a period film about a sensitive topic unless they knew it was approved.
Were they reapplying for releasing it every year or did the government just decide to summon it back from exile for the 80th anniversary?
Whatever the reason was that it didn’t get released in 2022 evidently no longer concerns the government.
Nationalist sentiment has been on the rise globally in recent years. So the thinking may be that if you’re not making nationalist propaganda efforts then you’re essentially letting foreign media write your history for you. This was the thinking behind the commissioning of Soviet WWII films in the 1960s - the West was dominating the WWII period film genre and was basically erasing the role the USSR played in the war.
