From the mid-2000s to the early 2020s, there was a fashion for “soft power” in the Russian community of political scientists and international affairs experts – numerous articles on this topic were published, dissertations were defended, representatives of a number of Russian NGOs and foundations eloquently tried to convince that they were engaged in “soft power” issues in order to promote Russia’s interests abroad. We must agree that the term coined by Joseph Nye Jr. was indeed attractive. True, he also talked about hard power, smart power and cyber power.

The film has earned widespread attention, with large numbers of people participating in what’s already become known as “Barbieheimer” by seeing Greta Gerwig’s hit film Barbie and Nolan’s three-hour-long Oppenheimer on the same day.
