Russian director Aleksei Uchitel says he fears for his loved ones, after the violent response to his latest film, Matilda, which has seen cars set on fire and petrol bombs tossed into his studio. The film tells the story of a romance between Tsar Nicholas II and a ballerina, and has been denounced by a Russian legislator for offending people's religious feelings. (RFE/RL's Russian Service)
