After the official announcement from HBO, Biković closed his Instagram profile because users began to criticise his stance on Ukraine and called on the streaming company to pay attention to his statements.
Biković gained fame in Russia due to his participation in the TV series Hotel Eleon, Grand and Wings of the Empire, and also played the main part in the film Serf. He has repeatedly starred in films directed by infamous propagandist Nikita Mikhalkov.
In a recent interview with Biković, when asked by an interviewer if Serbs loved Russia more than Russians did, the actor answered:
"That's right. We were one people. We spoke almost the same language 200-300 years ago. You don't feel nostalgic until you lose something. And there is a certain deep nostalgia in the blood of the Serbian people [for Russia]. In 1925, one in five residents of Belgrade was Russian", said the actor.
He also added that democracy has never existed. He has repeatedly supported Russian narratives in other interviews. For example, about a full-scale invasion, he stated that allegedly "Russia is moving on its path, and the world sees it as a hostile process".
