Ratings

Ratings issued by the Derzhkino as of the latest amendment in 2015:
DerzhKino prioritizes funding for so-called patriotic projects. To qualify, DerzhKino requires that Ukrainian or Crimean Tatar language account for 90% of a film's total dialogue, in order to counteract the dominance of Russia's state-sponsored patriotic film industry. An article at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported that "Some have likened the Derzhkino criteria to the sort of censorship that exists in authoritarian countries like Russia".
