The Golden Buttons (Золотые пуговицы)

In 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin created the national guard, whose legal task is to ensure public order, the fight against terrorism and extremism. In fact, this organization is personally subordinate to Putin and is engaged in the suppression of those who disagree with his regime. We ended up in a closed school as photographers and tried to capture not only the faces of the guys, but also what was happening in the background. The film was created from fragments of phrases, observations and faces.
