Linguist fails to find film "Ordered to Forget" as inciting interethnic enmity

The screening of the film "Ordered to Forget" can not incite any interethnic or inter-confessional enmity – this is the conclusion of Professor Evgeny Tarasov, the Department Head at the Linguistics Institute of the RussianAcademy of Sciences, who made a linguistic examination of the film banned for screening by the Ministry of Culture.

As stated in the conclusion of Professor Tarasov, the storyline of the film is "an embodiment in the artistic version of the forced deportation of Chechens and Ingushes in 1944, shown by the example of the village of Khaibakh." The NKVD (the then Interior Ministry) Colonel, responsible for the deportation of the residents of the above mountain village, saw that the deportation deadline would be broken because of bad roads and poor weather conditions, and decided to drive the villagers into the collective farm stable and burn them down. One of the officers, unwilling to obey to the order of his commander, commits suicide.

Thus, Professor Tarasov gave a negative answer to the question posed to the expert: "Has the above film any information, which can incite interethnic or inter-religious hatred?" He also stated in his conclusion that the film "Ordered to Forget" lacks any calls for any extremist activities.
