And we have to – you know, that's something I keep emphasizing is that the Moscow you see in the film and the Moscow of these characters' lives is not that different from New York or Paris.
I mean –
Ideologically, yes.
But, you know, they're used to a Zara store on every corner and H&M.
They're going to restaurants.
They're going to bars.
They love matcha lattes.
They like, you know, watch Netflix, constantly refer to it.
You know, they take it for granted that there's an Apple store and an Ikea.
And one of them, you know, cracks a joke then because obviously all these things are being shut down online.
Like, along with the press being shut down, the international stores are pulling out, and one of them is like, no, you know, I think she says, she's like, no more Nike or Apple.
We don't have a country anymore, you know, like, because these are all things they've started to take for granted.
This is a very interconnected Russia for these characters, you know.
Yeah.
They've grown up in a very globalized world.
And, of course, now it's very, very different.
And it's familiar.

Like, it looks very—but, you know, it looks like it has nothing to do with you.
