One of the most expensive films: the State Cinema spent nearly 24 million hryvnias on "Why I Killed Bandera."

The State Agency of Ukraine for Cinema has allocated nearly 24 million hryvnias from the Ukrainian budget for the creation of the national feature film "Why I Killed Bandera." The corresponding tender has appeared on the Prozorro platform.

According to an investigation by the publication "Glavkom," it is reported that the film "Why I Killed Bandera" is among the top five most expensive productions. In the lead-up to the New Year, the State Agency of Ukraine for Cinema actively allocated budget funds for film production, signing nearly 50 contracts totaling up to half a billion hryvnias.

The largest funding from the State Cinema (30 million hryvnias) was awarded to LLC "Animagrad" for the animated film "Our Fight." Its main character, a 30-year-old gas station attendant, plans to join the "Chop Pirates" unit, made up of former smugglers from Transcarpathia. The production company is registered to Kyiv residents Irina Kostiuk, Sergey Konnov, and Sergey Sozanovsky.

The film will be produced by the film company "Hanzafilm," which regularly receives state funds for filming. Its beneficiary is listed as Yulia Kravchenko.

The new film tells the story of KGB agent Bohdan Stashynskyi, the assassin of the leader of the Ukrainian nationalist movement of the 20th century, Stepan Bandera. It revolves around events in 1962, when a high-ranking OUN official, Stepan Lenkevych, arrives in the German city of Karlsruhe with a delegation of Ukrainians for Stashynskyi's trial.

At the same time, one of the agents of the OUN security service named Taras wants to kill Stashynskyi to avenge Bandera.

We recall that the daughter of the deceased public figure, Iryna Farion, previously stated that her mother became "the latest conduit of the Ukrainian nation." Sofia Semchyshyn claims that "the banderization of Ukraine will now turn into the farionization."
