In this photo taken on Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2017, an Orthodox protester holds up a sign reading "Stop Matilda" during a protest against the release of a movie depicting a liaison of Russia's last czar in Moscow, Russia. Russia's Culture Ministry says that a controversial historical film about the last Russian czar's affair with a ballerina has been cleared for release. "Matilda," which is about Nicholas II's relationship with Matilda Kshesinskaya, has drawn virulent criticism from some Orthodox believers and hard-line nationalists, who see it as blasphemy against the emperor, glorified as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church.
