In the Baltic countries, Russian-speaking populations navigate a complex identity shaped by their Soviet past and the ongoing conflict involving Russia. While some maintain a cultural connection to their heritage, many grapple with feelings of alienation due to the current geopolitical tensions. The war in Ukraine has intensified concerns about nationalism, security, and the rights of ethnic Russians abroad. As they seek to integrate into their Baltic nations, these communities often find themselves balancing nostalgia for the Soviet era with a desire for stability and acceptance. Understanding their perspectives is crucial for fostering social cohesion in a rapidly changing regional landscape.
This documentary fiction is set in a secret city like so many that existed in the former USSR.
