==Fandom==
To support Major Grom by word of mouth, the fans organized a series of flash mobs on social media to draw attention to the film. Some fans bought up all the seats in cinemas to increase ticket sales, and an unknown person even rented a billboard on New Arbat Avenue, in the center of Moscow, where Major Grom fan tweets were shown.
The release of the 2021 film attracted some interest in the English language fandom sphere, but the fandom remains primarily Russian-based. . Discussion by Older Than Netfic, et al. Posted 10 April 2022.. Anonymous answer on tumblr. Posted by Older than Netfic on 10 April 2022.
