This is a story about people and love.
The struggle between the OMON,
Russia's special police, and gangsters
is an uncommon occurrence in our lives
The picture doesn't take place in the current day,
it's the beginning of the 2000s
It was a wild time, but for me personally,
it was an extremely interesting period
As you know, we had a lot of leeway
And we put up on the screen things that we couldn't before
When I read Zakhar Prilepin's novel Vosmerka
I had a rather bright sensation in spite of all the drama of the text
The story for the film Break Loose (Vosmerka) is based on real people
All of these guys from the film Novin, Mantsygin-they're all from real life
If you leave Saint Petersburg and head to Novgorod, Pskov, Surgut
You'll see a lot of these guys 'breaking loose'
Some changes have occurred, but there's still a lot that remains inside us
We made this movie so that every viewer
Can judge for themselves how much they've changed since then
Were those years so wild or are things even wilder now?
