Synopsis
In order to understand what’s going on in Russia these days simply going out into the street and looking around you or reading the news reports is not enough – those are only distorted views on reality. If you want to get to the essence, the best way is to change the point of view radically and look at things through the eyes of, say… a horse that serves in an operative battalion in the center of Moscow. During the major events that take place in Moscow he sees the ordinary citizens – those cheering, rallying, celebrating, promenading, praying. He’s not a part of them – he just finds himself close all the time and can see what they are like, how they behave, what they ask for or demand. The people on both sides of the horse. Friends in police uniform and enemies in civil clothing and vice versa.
