Direct speech
Elena Nikolaeva, director:"The topic of "dry law" in Russia and the USSR, which existed at the beginning of the second decade of the 20th century, almost in the same years as in America, was not raised by almost any of the domestic writers and directors. While Hollywood created many classic films (and dramas and gangster stories) dedicated to this period, including "Once Upon a Time in America. We worked for a long time in libraries and archives, studied the history of the period of the beginning of the NEP. The work was not easy, but fascinating.
The New Economic Policy, or NEP for short, was adopted in Soviet Russia in March 1921. In Fried Chicken, we have a very short segment - August-September of that year. This is the time of the first bakeries, furniture stores, everything first. And at the same time, these are the last months of the existence of old Russia. At that time, the heroes are still trying to live the old way. Such dramatic moments in history are always interesting for cinema, because they reveal human feelings and nature. When you can steal - someone will steal, someone will not. When you can kill - someone will kill, someone will not ...
I was inspired by the stories of my nanny - Ariadna Platonovna Ermolaeva, daughter of the admiral of the Russian fleet! Since 1923, she has passed the terrible path of several camps. When she died, I was 13 years old, and my brother, Maxim Osadchy, was three years old. She told me a lot. It seems to me that I know more about that time than anything that has been written in these hundred years. All my life I dreamed of telling about it in my own way. In addition, I come from a family of writers, I myself have always read a lot and still a lot of reading people. And if we talk about what I myself like, then we can mention the series "Peaky Blinders."
