In June 1969, the Chief of Soviet State Police (N.A.Shchelokov) wrote : "Lenfilm studios completed the movie "Amnesty Not Possible" (directed by N. Rozanov, screenwriter A. Romov), which, in our opinion, contains serious political mistakes. In the role of a foe of the Soviet power, a traitor to the motherland, a resident of foreign intelligence in this film is the chief of the district police department. Such a malicious misinterpretation of the image of a leading officer of the internal affairs can cause deep outrage and distrust among the viewers, and may create a distorted image of the Soviet militia, by showing their views and beliefs as hostile to the vital interests of the Soviet people and the Communist Party. Our justified outrage is caused not only by the malicious distortion of the image of Soviet Officer, but also by the obvious falsification of reality. In the history of the Soviet militia, there was never a case for its commanding officer to become an agent of imperialist intelligence. Attention is drawn to the harmful trend of the film script showing a clash between Soviet Police and the KGB authorities, who exposed the treacherous activity of the police officer. Propaganda of such contrived "conflicts" can damage the authority of both the state security and internal affairs agencies. The film defames the honor and dignity of police officers, contradicts the requirements of the November resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR about truthful depiction of internal affairs and the all-round strengthening of their authority among the Soviet people. I hereby request for your orders on the prohibition of release of the film "Amnesty Not Possible". At the same time, in the production of motion pictures about the State security agencies, it is advisable to counsel with the Ministry of the Interior of the USSR." – Letter of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the USSR N.A. Shchelokov to Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of USSR comrade P.N. Demichev of 13 June 1969.
