Otpusk v sentyabre

To be honest, I did not find documentary evidence of the ban on the film, according to the director Melnikov himself: "The picture in Ostankino was received well - with curtsy and compliments. After the crowded premiere, I came to Ostankino to find out when the film will be aired. I was assured that the authorities were just waiting for the right moment to release the picture, but "the moment is just now unsuccessful, and the international situation too." Then on TV they waited for the "opportune moment" for exactly eight years - until the very perestroika" and yes, it gets confused and in general, the information on the film itself is confused when it was released either in 85 or in 87, and the director also claims about the influence of the international situation, which in general is most likely not true, so most likely there was no direct ban, and even more so from the government, the main problem here is in the state television and radio, most likely.
