According to Roman Kotkov, editor-in-chief of Bubble Publishing, young Russian audiences are now very receptive to Russian content, be it Russian films, Russian music or Russian comics. "Our publishing house has been doing Russian comics for 10 years now, and we know that they can be cool, cool and interesting, and we want to tell people about it, without any stereotypes," he said.

The festival is entirely Covid Free. i.e. either QR codes or a negative PCR test result will be required for access to the venue.

The festival runs until 19 December.
