« Shtandart », a Russian ghost ship in La Rochelle?

Press review of a Russian-cinematographic маскировка (maskirovka) in Nantes

The case of the film festival named « From Lviv to the Urals » evidenced how difficult it is to counter the pro-Russian lobby, if not a pro-Putin one, in Nantes, France.
