The German action film “Tschiller: Off Duty,” starring Til Schweiger, allegedly portrays a Russian secret service agent in a positive light, say Ukrainian authorities. The movie has been banned in the ex-Soviet country.
According to Ukrainian law, films that take a positive perspective on any branch of the Russian government are forbidden. The strict censorship law is a reaction to Russia’s annexation of Crimea and Moscow’s support of separatists in Ukraine.
