In 2018, it was censored: a review made by Kichin following the premiere of the film Donbass at the Cannes Film Festival completely disappeared from Rossiyskaya Gazeta. On the last day of the festival, a paragraph dedicated to Sergei Loznitsa's painting was again removed in the same newspaper, and the editorial staff did not inform the author.[4][5]
