Criticism
The State Film Agency prioritizes funding for so-called patriotic projects.[8] To qualify, the State Film Agency requires that the Ukrainian or Crimean Tatar languages account for 90% of a film's total dialogue, in order to counteract the dominance of Russia's state-sponsored patriotic film industry.[8] An article at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported that "Some have likened the Derzhkino criteria to the sort of censorship that exists in authoritarian countries like Russia".[8]
