Ordered to Forget (Russian: Приказано забыть, romanized: Prikazano zabyt') is a 2014 Russian film directed by Hussein Erkenov.[3][4]
The film was intended to debut on 10 May 2014 but was banned because the Russian Ministry of Culture officially denies the events of the Khaibakh massacre and claimed the film would create ethnic hatred after denouncing the film as "anti-Russian". The makers of the film stated that they did not wish to promote hatred of Russians, and the film depicts many ethnic Russians characters outright resisting orders to kill Chechen and Ingush civilians issued by NKVD officer Mikhail Gvishiani. Despite the government's ban on showing the film, it was screened at the Moscow International Film Festival.[5][6][7]
The film chronicles the Khaibakh massacre through the lens of the main protagonists Daud and Seda, two fictional characters who were depicted as witnesses of the massacre after fleeing their village.
