Ridiculous fact.... When Danelia came to the United States in 1976 with the film "Athonia." The Soviet government instructed him to go to the Oscar Award ceremony, and could win an Oscar for the film "Dersu Uzala," which was made jointly by the USSR and Japan. Russian film director Ders Uzala was not allowed to come to Los Angeles. Danelia won an Oscar for this director. And Voice of America radio reported that Danelia won an Oscar for the film "Athonia."
