Down With the Tsar! is a raw look at the chaotic atmosphere in Moscow just before Putin's inauguration. The film captures the tension of the protest led by Navalny—an audacious move that feels almost desperate. You get a real sense of the stakes involved, especially as demonstrators face brutal police action and Cossack attacks. The pacing is frenetic, mirroring the unrest, yet there’s a haunting stillness in the faces of those who dare to stand up. The documentary doesn’t hold back on the grim realities of dissent in Russia, making it a striking piece for anyone interested in the intersection of politics and personal courage. It’s compelling, even if the director remains a mystery. There's a certain starkness to it that lingers long after the credits roll.
