Oleg Senzow

Oleg Senzow, born in Simferopol in 1976, is a film director. With »Gamer« he released his first feature film in 2012. When the first civil protests on the Maidan began in Kiev in 2013, Senzow stopped filming and became an activist. A year later, he was arrested by the Russian secret service FSB and transferred to Moscow. He was released in September 2019 as part of a prisoner exchange.
