The Death of Stalin
is a 2017 British-French political satire film directed by Armando Iannucci. It chronicles the Soviet power struggles occasioned by the death of dictator Joseph Stalin in 1953. The film is based on the graphic novel of the same name, translated from the French original La mort de Staline. It was released by eOne Films in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2017 and is set to be released in the United States by IFC Films on 9 March 2018. The film was screened in the Platform section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was well-received internationally but was criticised by some Russian officials and politicians as an attack on Russia and/or Stalin.
In September 2017,
the head of the Public Council of the Russian Ministry of Culture said the Russian authorities were considering a ban on the film, which, he alleged, could be part of a "western plot to destabilise Russia by causing rifts in society". Nikolai Starikov, head of the Russian Great Fatherland Party, said the film was an "unfriendly act by the British intellectual class", and said it was very clear that the film was part of an "anti-Russian information war" aimed at discrediting the figure of Stalin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Stalin
