![]() It’s a place that Rose knows very little about, and the little that she knows doesn’t paint it in a very good light, and she repeatedly mentions throughout the 1st 4 books how before she went to Russia, she didn’t understand why anybody would want to live there, and how it seems like a cold and uninviting place. Part of the reason why Russia specifically is thematically, and plot-wise, relevant, is because it’s a distant land both literally and metaphorically to Rose at that time. However, Russia does become much more thematically important in Blood Promise, where Rose goes to a foreign country in persuit of Dimitri. Why is Dimitri being Russian important, at least on a thematic level? Obviously I love certain things like Dimitri’s Russian nickname for Rose, which while I personally consider extremely important, I know why production studios might not. It could be a studio lumping all of Russia and Russian citizens in with the horrific and terrible actions of the Russian government, and wanting to avoid Russia altogether because of that, which, while not great, isn’t as bad as actual racism. ![]() Why is that an issue? It’s definitely not racism, Russian is not a race. Apparently, that new television show isn’t going to have their interpretation be Russian. Most of this is probably gonna relate to Blood Promise tbh.ĭimitri Belikov is Russian and that is an important part of both his character and the books in general. ![]() I’m not assuming the worst of that new Vampire Academy television show, and no hard opinions have been formed as I haven’t seen it yet as it’s not publicly released as of rn, but these are just some things that I reckon could be questioning indicators. Brief rant about certain things that alarm me and make me question whether the people making that new Vampire Academy television show actually understood multiple aspects and themes of the Vampire Academy book series.
