Film producer Rodnyansky supported the actor from the Russian Federation nominated for the 'Oscar'.

Producer Alexander Rodnyansky is impressed by the nomination of the Russian actor for 'Oscar-2025'

Alexander Rodnyansky, a well-known Ukrainian film and television producer, is very excited about the list of nominees for the 'Oscar-2025' award. He paid special attention to Russian actor Yuri Borisov, who was nominated for the 'Oscar' in the category of 'Best Supporting Actor' for the film 'Anora'. Rodnyansky expressed his satisfaction with this news on his photo blog and believes that it indicates that Hollywood does not have biased attitudes towards Russians, as claimed by Russian media.

Yura Borisov became the first Russian actor nominated for an 'Oscar'. This is a significant achievement for the talented actor. But I want to draw attention to the failure of Russian propaganda. For all these years, Russian media have talked about 'Russophobia' and the 'cancellation of Russian culture'. And here it is – the failure of propaganda. A Russian actor, as good Russians, is nominated for the main global film awards

Rodnyansky also shared his impressions of the film 'Anora' and the actors' performances. He liked the plot of the film, which is about the relationship between a Russian oligarch and a sex worker.

Talent always speaks for itself. I want to note that I cannot say that I like this film very much, but Borisov's role is good. 'Anora' by Sean Baker is a comedic melodrama for Russian emigrants in America

However, Ukrainians, commenting on this news, reacted negatively to Rodnyansky's stance, especially considering the bloody crimes committed by Russians on Ukrainian territory.

• Alexander, are you really happy? Is cinema outside of politics?
• The propaganda of Russian victory is evident... Let them show him the executions of our guys by Russians
• Alexander, do you think that 'culture is outside politics'? Why did you write such a friendly post to an actor from an aggressive country that is not included in the list of 'good'?

Earlier, Alexander Rodnyansky was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison for spreading 'fakes' about the Russian army. He was also reported to the Russian law enforcement agencies. Rodnyansky, who left Russia after the aggression, described the moods prevailing in Moscow: many are being dragged to interrogations.
