MOSCOW, March 13. /TASS/. Awarding an Oscar to the Navalny documentary may be "an element of politicization," Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"I cannot judge the documentary’s qualities because I haven’t seen it," he noted. "However, even though I haven’t seen it, I dare say that there is an element of politicization of the issue. Hollywood sometimes does not hesitate to politicize its work, so such things happen. Still, I wouldn’t talk about the cinematic merits of the film," Peskov told reporters, when asked how the Kremlin assessed the fact that Daniel Roher’s film about Russian blogger Alexey Navalny had won the Oscar for best documentary feature.

The 95th Academy Awards ceremony was held in Los Angeles on March 12. Everything Everywhere All at Once took the Oscar for best picture and best director. The ceremony took place without coronavirus restrictions for the first time since 2020.
