The Soviet Story

Lasīju The Economist filmas recenziju, un pamanīju vienu interesantu faktu. 

Russian historian Aleksander Dyukov has said he wants to kill the Latvian director of the Soviet Story, a documentary on Soviet era atrocities, and to burn down the Latvian embassy

Ar šādiem komentāriem un attieksmi lieliskais krievu “vēsturnieks” tikai apstiprina filmā izteikto domu par agresiju ar kādu padomju savienība risināja problēmas. Vai nav fantastiski?

“The film’s aim is to expose modern Russia’s blindness to the criminal history of the Soviet Union” un vēsturnieks atbild ar agresiju un blindness. Viņš būtībā ar savu darbību apstiprināja filmas pamata ideju.

_P.S.: labs citāts no komentāriem: _

_You describe the author of the movie as “a passionate Latvian nationalist”. You SHOULD see this movie. And you will see that there is nothing about Latvia. And there is absolutely nothing about russians as a nation. _
