Prohibitions Alone Will Not Do

Prohibitions alone will not do. The best defence is attack. A humanitarian intervention must be followed by a clever humanitarian response. The series «GDR» and «Dear Willy» have already appeared, but that is clearly not enough.
Nor do these series touch on our own times. That is why I am sure that there will soon be more domestic projects in the genre of the political thriller.
And there is no need to be afraid of learning. From the British, for example, who devote to Winston Churchill the films «Darkest Hour» and «Into the Storm», and who make of a national catastrophe and the flight of an army «Dunkirk», a saga of the courage and mutual aid of the British soldier, an epic canvas of the unity of the British nation

a rather reasonable thought from an interview with the writer Alexandr Zhuravsky in the latest Literaturnaya Gazeta
