The film Sobibor is nominated from Russia for the Oscars in the category of the best foreign-language film, TASS reports. According to producer Alexander Rodnyansky, the picture which has a good chance to win the American Film Academy award was chosen by a majority of votes.
The Oscar Committee Members did not disclose the names of competitors to the Konstantin Khabensky's debut as a film director.
As Russkiy Mir reported, the film is based on real events. It is about the only successful uprising of Nazi Sobibor camp prisoners in the history. The rebellion occurred in October 1943 and was led by the Soviet officer Alexander Pechersky (Konstantin Khabensky).
The Nazi camp Sobibor was located on Polish territory. In less than two years of its existence more than 2500 Jews from France, Poland, Austria and the Soviet Union were exterminated there.
The ceremony of the most prestigious cinema award will be held at the end of February.

Since the beginning of the unrest in Kazakhstan, some media and Telegram channels have speculated about the threat to Russians living in the Republic. Allegedly, the introduction of CSTO forces would put them in danger due to the rise of Kazakh nationalism. Izvestia talked to Russians living in the country to find out how the January events had affected their relations with Kazakhs. Interviewees claimed that the introduction of CSTO peacekeepers had no effect on interethnic dialogue because the Russians living in the Republic were not associated with Russia - they were locals. However, according to Izvestia's interlocutors, there is still intolerance at the mundane level.
