this person got a train ticket in their merch package, which lead them to the reddit user profile of “FyodorVitin”, which as of now (April 16) has only the letter from Daniil posted. If anyone has a non-google translate version of the letter please let me know or I can see if any of my friends feel like getting paid to translate it in full. I’ll keep abreast of that post for any new updates there…

No one has commented on the post containing the letter even though it seems like commenting is open, is that like gauche in ARGs or whatever this kickstarter merch thing is? The FyodorVitin account was made February 3rd, 2023 and the letter was posted March 21, 2023. I’m not yet sure of the significance of the username, I would think vitin would be pronounced витин but when I’m looking into this spelling by itself first and then adding Фёдор later I’m not sure if anything is relevant yet. sorry I’m sure someone else has already made some writeup on this but I haven’t checked the tags in years and I just do this blog for fun now with blinders on like a horse I guess lol.

“There is this taboo of the rule of silence in cinema, which you are helping to put an end to, and there is what is at the heart of your story, the taboo of ‘paedophilia’, which we prefer to call ‘paedo-criminality’. It has an echo because what has troubled and divided the cinema industry at the beginning of the MeToo movement in France is the case of the filmmaker Roman Polanski.”
