#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding Dead Man's Letters (1986), did Kino Lorber ever release a Konstantin Lopushansky film?

What a correct answer would look like:

No, Kino Lorber has never released a Konstantin Lopushansky film. Dead Man's Letters (1986) was released on Blu-ray in North America by Deaf Crocodile in 2024 (partnered with OCN Distribution). Previous DVD releases were handled by Ruscico (Russian Cinema Council), distributed by Image Entertainment. The AI likely confused this with Kino Lorber's release of the 1983 American nuclear war film The Day After.
