Our Newspaper

Synopsis

Andrei Shkolny, a journalist in rural Russia, leaves his position at the regional paper “The Leninist” due to dissatisfaction with the content he was required to produce. He establishes Nasha Gazeta (Our Paper), a publication that serves around 7,000 readers each week. The newspaper focuses on local issues, such as a village without water for three months and a doctor who rides his bicycle for miles in extreme cold. Shkolny's work draws the ire of local authorities, who are not pleased with his candid reporting.
