And they were absolutely right, because Brezhnev liked the film. Who would argue with the head of state?



Instagram Criticism and queues in cinemas That only such consolation did little to help Menshov. He finally fell through. He started drinking. And the drinkers were always there. How many talented people have been ruined by bitterness. And only Sergey Nikitin tried to distract Menshov from gloomy thoughts.

But he continued to collect newspaper clippings criticizing his film Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. And people did not stop, and they still went to the cinema to see the film.
