From Russia with Lev

Brava to Rachel Maddow once again! I am so incredibly grateful for all the documentaries, books, articles and newscasts that have helped us all make sense of how Trump rose to power with the help of Putin and numberous criminal activities by Trump and his associates. All this craziness is tragic, criminal and putting us all at risk! We must all fight hard to get Harris/Walz elected! This election is truly a fight for right and for our democracy! Those of us who see the truth of who Trump really is and the threat he is to our country and to our world must help those that sadly been sucked down the rabbit hole into the cult of Trump!

This great film is going to be one of the finest explanations of the Trump rein of corruption during his time in American politics. The amount of time it must have taken to gather all the information blows my mind! It is so well put together to show the story of what Trump and his weaponization of the DOJ did to destroy our trust in journalism. The Fox news propaganda that was spread in the name of protecting Trump is just so egregious it should be an un coalification event for their moniker of: "Fair & Balanced!! I think it's great that the truth be shown of their involvement in the decline of trust in our government and society! Facts matter, and Rachelle has always been a beacon of trust for me to navigate during this dreadful period of American history!

From Russia with Lev is a riveting exploration of political manipulation and betrayal. Director Billy Corben expertly guides us through Lev Parnas's shocking story-how he became a pawn in Trump's desperate attempt to discredit the Bidens and was discarded when the mission yielded nothing. The film masterfully portrays the tension of a man trapped by loyalty to a leader who sought to suppress the truth. Parnas's wife emerges as a quiet hero, saving vital evidence from destruction. Hunter Biden's grace and humility at the end is an emotional crescendo, leaving no one unaffected. A powerful debut production by Rachel Maddow, this film is a winner in every sense.

From Russia with Lev is a documentary based on solid evidence, exposing Trump's efforts, alongside Rudy Giuliani, to create false accusations against Joe and Hunter Biden.

Lev Parnas, once a trusted Trump insider, reveals secret deals and the push to remove America's ambassador to Ukraine, all to advance Trump's personal goals, rather than for the good of the United States. The documentary supports these claims with recordings and concrete evidence.

The film highlights how Trump's influence spread into the justice system and media, with Fox News aiding Trump in a disinformation campaign, without any attempt to fact-check.

Parnas's shift from confidant to whistleblower is presented clearly, with his wife Svetlana playing a key role in protecting important evidence. The meeting between Parnas and Hunter Biden at the end adds a heartfelt touch to the larger political story. You see firsthand how disinformation campaigns destroy lives.

This is more than just a political story. It's a reminder of how easily democracy can be undermined by lies and corruption. Every American should watch it before voting.

This film is very well done.

It puts a spotlight back on what lead to Trump's first impeachment. He tried (and failed) to extort the government of Ukraine to officially announce that they were opening a corruption investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden (even though they did not have any evidence of that), to benefit his own 2020 presidential campaign, or Trump and the United States government would withhold economic and military support to Ukraine and that the administration would withdraw Zelensky's invitation to the white house that had been previously set up.

It is told from the perspective of Lev Parnas, one of Trump's main footsoldiers in the extortion scheme that went behind the back of official diplomatic channels. His claims are backed up by mountains of digital evidence he shared with the production team and presented throughout the documentary.

These actions ultimately led to Trump's first articles impeachment.

Really shows the warped, criminal/mob boss instinct that pervaded Trump's decision making process as president.
