4.3. Rights Holder Status The film’s rights are currently held by Mosfilm and Panfilov’s estate (Panfilov died in 2023). Mosfilm has periodically removed uploads of its major titles (e.g., Battleship Potemkin ) from Ok.ru but has not targeted Mother —likely due to its low commercial value. This tacit tolerance enables the upload to remain online.
