- Americans Hate Tingle: Ukrainians are indifferent to the film and Alexei Navalny in general, if not hostile, due to the man treating the internationally condemned annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014 as fait accompli and that it should remain part of Russia, and him generally not distancing himself enough from Russian imperialistic rhetoric until the full scale war that started in 2022 (which he condemned) and his partisans never really giving agency to Ukraine and focusing solely on the suffering of Russian people under Vladimir Putin. The sentiment was made even clearer upon his death in February 2024 and yet again the following month after the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature win of 20 Days in Mariupol was not broadcast internationally while the win of Navalny in the same category (and his wife's speech) was broadcast the previous year (the AMPAS apologized and restored the footage of 20 Days in Mariupol's win later).
