Review by sopweston

It's funny to see Russians/pro-Russians on here getting triggered by a film that makes good ol' mother Russia look bad, claiming that it's somehow 'evil Western propaganda'. The film is A RUSSIAN FILM. Created by Russians, based on a book written by a Russian, and about a Russian tragedy that they themselves created. The reason you're so upset with this, the reason you're so angry, is because a film like this somehow managed to slip through the cracks of the Russian terror machine and expose to the world what the Soviet experiment was all about - the accusing and murder of anyone they didn't like. That's a theme that continues to this day in Russia, if you don't like the government you're either shot or never seen again. Boris Nemtsov, Alexander Litvenenko, Alexei Navalny, anyone. Frankly you should be happy you're reading this outside Russia and being able to comment here freely.
