CPOY 70 Documentary Award of Excellence: On the Verge

Modern punks are young people of my generation born during Perestroika. They absorbed the uncertainty and hopelessness of the epoch, when the old ideology collapsed, and the new one has not been formed yet. Many of them experienced violence in childhood, social pressure, suffered from alcohol and drug addiction of their parents. But unlike the others, they are not silent, they declare about their discontent openly, exposing the problems of modern society.

Like most punks in Russia, she supports the so-called anti-fascist movement, which actively fights back against neonazi groups.
