I want every russian person to see this film. To understand what russian troops have done to Mariupol 🇺🇦, the heinous war crimes they committed and continue to commit every single day. I want every russian person — in russia or abroad — to understand that THAIR GOVERNMENT is waging this criminal war in THAIR NAME. Not all of you — russian people — are guilty, but all of you, who failed to oppose this war publicly, are responsible! Your silence is your complicity! I understand that you live in a police state and that standing up is hard! But is it not harder to watch innocent civilians being killed by YOUR ARMY? Is it easier for you to look away when your compatriots are bombing maternity wards than it would be for you to speak up against russian imperialism, against this criminal, unjust war? I went to see this documentary today in Amsterdam. It was sold out. The theater was packed. Every person cried. I cried. Tears of rage, tears of helplessness in the face of pure, unadulterated evil. Tears of guilt — could I have personally done more to prevent those unthinkable atrocities? Am I doing enough now to help end the genocide russia brought to Ukraine? Walking out, I saw many searching eyes. Looks of despair and disbelief. This is happening now on the “post-war” continent. How did we — all of us — let this happen? I’ve heard people speak Dutch, English, French… I’ve heard Ukrainian. But I didn’t hear russian. I’d like to believe it was the sense of deep shame. Still, I don’t dismiss the possibility that russian people did not come to see this unbelievably difficult film about the russian invasion of Ukraine, about russian war crimes, about the “russian world” of death, rape, and torture their government had brought to Ukraine. If you are a russian person, I want to hear from you. If you know russian people, please ask them if they’ve seen this film. #NeverAgainIsNow #20DaysInMariupol 🙏 Thank you 20DaysInMariupol @mstyslav9 FRONTLINE
