_{The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized HBO’s choice last week. In particular, the department published a video on the X network with scenes from the series and footage of Bikovich. The video states that the actor supports Russia’s occupation of Crimea and has visited the island several times, which is why Ukraine added him to the banned entry list in 2019.}

_{“Is it normal for you to work with someone who supports genocide and violates international law?” – wrote the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which tagged the HBO page in a tweet.}

_{Let’s note that the 36-year-old Bikovich called the upcoming filming of the series a “great honor,” and the events of last week as a “targeted campaign” against himself and a “worrying precedent. “}

_{The Serbian actor has been working in Russia for more than ten years. He starred in many Russian directors, especially Nikita Mikhalkov, who was sanctioned by the EU for supporting the Russian invasion in 2022.}

_{In 2021, Bikovich was granted Russian citizenship. The head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, awarded the actor the Pushkin Medal in 2018.}

_{Earlier it was reported that Anna Koshmal showed fans that a resident of Orenburg invited her to perform at one of the cultural events.}
