Former chief of the colony says upon cruel beating of inmate: «It’s better off filming this way and showing than 10 more inmates will be subjects to applying special methods». Logic is iron and cruel and this human being teaches youngsters in contemporary university of Russia.
In given film is shown how simple people protect themselves from arbitrary rule and can’t bring them to justice. Humans are crying from desperation. These are real-world effects in Russia.
The film is striking.
