This film is the record holder of Soviet cinema for being on the shelf: 22 years! It was conceived during the fading of the “Khrushchev Thaw”, launched in the era of “voluntarism”, filmed at the beginning of “stagnation”, then it was banned, lay on the shelf for “stagnation”, and “acceleration-glasnost”, and the death of as many as four General Secretaries of the CPSU, and at the fifth time he was - mutilated, cut and reshaped! - admitted to viewers of a completely different generation on the eve of the collapse of the USSR.

We will talk about the film “The Life and Ascension of Yuras Bratchik”, aka “The Gospel of Judas”, aka “Christ Landed in Grodno”. This unfortunate film went through twelve major revisions! Indeed, this is the Golgotha of Christ the Belarusian!
