The Russian Film Academy refused to nominate a national film for the Oscar in 2022, the organization's website reported.
"The presidium of the Russian Film Academy has decided not to nominate any Russian films for the 2022 Academy Awards," it said.
Russian movies won the Academy Award in the nomination the Best Foreign Language Film 3 times: Sergey Bondarchuk’s War and Peace in 1968, Vladimir Menshov’s Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears in 1981, and Nikita Mikhalkov’s Burnt by the Sun in 1994.
This is the first time since 1993, when the country has no representative at the Oscars.
