The release of 'Kremlin Sorcerer' in Latvia has stirred considerable discussion about the appropriateness of shooting a film portraying Putin's power games in the country. While the film has reached cinemas, only a few have opted not to show it, indicating a complex relationship with the subject matter among the Latvian public. Producer Gints Grūbe from 'Mistrus Media' points out that the film's narrative aligns alarmingly closely with Russian foreign policy narratives, raising concerns about viewers potentially accepting its depiction as historical truth, which can be dangerous for historical or pseudohistorical films.
