The New Saint is a film about Yevgeny
Rodionov, an ordinary young Russian boy who fell in the first Chechen war after
being taken prisoner and refusing to convert to Islam. He was proclaimed a
martyr and many Russians found in Yevgeny their own unofficial saint.
The life of Yevgeny’s mother underwent a radical change when her child ‘became’
a saint. By campaigning for his canonisation she keeps the memory of her son
alive. The success of her mission is illustrated by the portrayal of Yevgeny’s
image on icons throughout the country.
Who is this holy soldier exactly and what makes him the perfect icon of Russia
today?
Produced by Volya Films
