Trofimova's documentary humanizes Russian soldiers, presenting them as lost and confused individuals, which some critics claim undermines the experiences of Ukrainian victims.
Despite its controversial approach, 'Russians at War' refrains from portraying the typical Kremlin narrative and instead focuses on the personal lives of the soldiers.
Trofimova's previous works were associated with the Kremlin’s propaganda network, raising concerns regarding the intentions behind her latest film about Russian troops.
The film has ignited a debate about whether it serves as propaganda due to its sympathetic portrayal of Russian soldiers while neglecting their actions in Ukraine.
