Scary story or romanticization of crime? A Psychologist Explained What Happened in “The Boy’s Word”

Scary story or romanticization of crime?  A Psychologist Explained What Happened in “The Boy's Word”

People massively have the wrong opinion about Tatarstan.

The series “The Boy’s Word” made a lot of noise on the Internet. Russians are excitedly watching Zhora Kryzhovnikov’s project about the difficult times in Kazan in the late 1980s. However, not all viewers experience what is happening on the screen as something terrible. There is an opinion that some young people have a desire to repeat the events of those years.

Many episodes from the series with confrontations and scenes of violence have been published on the Internet. Words like ‘chushpan’ and ‘shell’ are actively used on social networks; even girls give ‘boy words’ in the comments. However, you don’t have to worry in advance.

According to Ramil Garifullin, associate professor at the Institute of Psychology and Education of Kazan Federal University, the script was tested at the highest level. The specialist is sure that such things should be shown to society. Despite the fact that people at that time suffered serious psychological trauma, it is important to go back in time and rethink everything.

“EIf that’s what you think, let’s ban movies with fascists. What do you mean people in the USSR imitated these villains? No. People understood everything.

The series itself has its own idea, its own meaning; there is no call to do the same, but quite the contrary. The script was studied at government level and permission was given to film it.

However, there is a problem that Tatarstan may now face. I fear that many have an incorrect, one-sided impression of what Tatarstan represented in Soviet times. This is such a distortion. You have to understand that this is a series, a work of fiction that has no relation to reality.”“, said the expert in an interview with the PopCornNews portal.
