Asked by the journalist Liza Rozovsky whether she had experienced "fear and humiliation" during the filming and whether she had felt the need to seek "psychological treatment after participating in the project", Viktoria Skitskaya replied: "I didn't go to a psychologist [...]. I don't think I needed help [...]. There was no harassment there. [...] Yes, there was fear, but it was my choice to come to the institute."
In this movie, actress of Ukrainian origin Viktoria Skitskaya starred in real sex scenes with Maksim Martsinkevich (Tesak). She explained she knew who he was (neo-Nazi activist), but she preferred to be very open to him. She understood that she couldn't have a love story and started a sexual relationship with him.
The ringleader of the film's neo-Nazi gang is played by real-life Russian white supremacist Maksim Martsinkevich, known as Tesak. "In order to make the reaction of the other participants to me and my comrades more natural, Ilya [Khrzhanovskiy] told them that we were so frostbitten and there were so many unsolved murders against us that to ensure the safety of each member of my "group of Komsomol members" there was a presence on the set Berkut soldier dressed in MGB uniform. Well, in general, our relations with everyone were smooth, despite the fact that according to the script we should have quickly liquidated the entire staff of the institute. In fact, many, knowing Ilya's character, were afraid of this moment, lest it turn out to be filmed in the documentary genre," Tesak said.
