Despite the good picture and acting the beginning of the movie seemed too artificial to me and I even was thinking to stop watching it. However, with full respect to Vasyl Stus's story, I made myself to watch it till the end and now I'm glad of spending my time seeing this picture. From one side it depicts the real face of the rotten Soviet system that was ruling in Ukraine. From another side, the movie shows us the strength of Stus spirit and the whole devotion of the master to his ideas full of faith in freedom and humanity.
Thanks to the authors for making the movie on such an important topic.

Good historical film with good actors play

Based on real story, extremely strong and emotional film. There are a lot of episodes that allow to see unspoken history of that time. Actors were chosen by similarity to original historical figures (so some action is wished to be better). The play of the main actors are really amazing.
Great demonstration of soviet regime
