Matilda (Russian: Матильда) is а 2017 Russian historical romantic drama film directed by Alexei Uchitel. It was released in cinemas on October 26, 2017.[1] The picture tells the story about the relationship between ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya and Nicholas II.
Criticised by monarchist groups as a "distortion of historical events", the picture became controversial after State Duma deputy Natalia Poklonskaya led a campaign to ban the film on religious grounds.[2]
The premiere of the film took place on October 23, 2017 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg.[3]
