[center]The Soviet Story[/center]
Wstęp na seans jest wolny, aczkolwiek osoby spoza instytucji UE, chcące przyjść na seans powinny zgłosić ten fakt wcześniej, dzwoniąc pod numer telefonu 4301 32457 lub pisząc na adres: lux.lv@inbox.lv. Powinny także pamiętać o zabraniu ze sobą jakiegoś dokumentu stwierdzającego tożsamość, z którego zostaną wylegitymowani przy wejściu do budynku JMO (i nie chodzi tu o stworzenie lepszej dla zrozumienia filmu atmosfery powszechnej inwigilacji , ale o standardowe procedury bezpieczeństwa, jakie obowiązują w JMO – jako jednym z budynków instytucji UE).

Chyba warto napisac cos wiecej na temat tego filmu, bo moze nie wszyscy wiedza.


Film facts:
Title: “The Soviet Story”
Type: Documentary film
Genre: History, politics
Director: Edvins Snore
Language: English
Length: 85 min.
Date of production: 2008

”The Soviet Story” was filmed over 2 years in Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Germany, France, UK and Belgium. Material for the documentary was collected by the author, Edvins Snore, for more than 10 years. As a result, ”The Soviet Story” presents a truly unique insight into recent Soviet history, told by people, once Soviet citizens, who have first hand knowledge of it.

“The Soviet Story” is a story of an Allied power, which helped the Nazis to fight Jews and which slaughtered its own people on an industrial scale. Assisted by the West, this power triumphed on May 9th, 1945. Its crimes were made taboo, and the complete story of Europe’s most murderous regime has never been told. Until now…

FILM SYNOPSIS

The film tells the story of the Soviet regime.

- The Great Famine in Ukraine (1932/33)
- The Katyn massacre (1940)
- The SS-KGB partnership [in the late 1930s the KGB was called NKVD, more info>]
- Soviet mass deportations
- Medical experiments in the GULAG.

These are just a few of the subjects covered in the film.

“The Soviet Story” also discusses the impact of the Soviet legacy on modern day Europe. Listen to experts and European MPs discussing the implications of a selective attitude towards mass murder; and meet a woman describing the burial of her new born son in a GULAG concentration camp.
The Soviet Story is a story of pain, injustice and “realpolitik”.

The Economist writes: "The film is gripping, audacious and uncompromising. Though it starts by telling the story of the murder of 7m Ukrainians in 1933, it is no mere catalogue of atrocities. The main aim of the film is to show the close connections—philosophical, political and organisational—between the Nazi and Soviet systems."

According to The Economist this movie "is the most powerful antidote yet to the sanitisation of the past".
