A man in a decorated military uniform speaks at a podium with multiple microphones, then the scene cuts to a large assembly hall with a portrait of a man on the wall and a crowd seated in rows. The sequence continues with a tank moving through a city street with a cathedral in the background, followed by a tank on fire at night, then a massive crowd holding a large Russian flag, and finally a close-up of three people, including a priest, shouting and gesturing in front of the crowd.
