- It’s always nice to see your work appreciated. The picture will be released in the twentieth of February 2027. We will make an official premiere in Belarus. I was pleasantly impressed by the reaction of the audience at the opening ceremony of Listapad. With the final credits was followed by a storm of applause. I was told they lasted 20 minutes.

The director hopes for the great festival and spectator fate of his creation:

I wish the picture to get the attention and love of a huge number of people. The Belarusian audience is sure that the film will go with interest, and with the Russian will be more difficult: heavy cinema, on difficult topics, our audience does not always want to watch. You'll have to make an effort to attract. But, I think, there are many who are not indifferent to the theme of the Great Patriotic War, who are interested in the fate of the heroes who forged our common Victory.
