The Soviet Story (added 07/13/14)
The Soviet Story is a look into the brutality, propaganda, and reign, of the Soviet Union. This film covers various Soviet atrocities, such as the extermination of the Ukrainians of 1932-'33, through deliberate starvation. This documentary also makes the case that there was little difference between German National Socialism (Nazism), and Soviet Communism, this point even being admitted to by high level leaders of both parties. The propaganda of both of these regimes is compared, and there is an obvious relation. Other topics of discussion include: Zyklon B, George Bernard Shaw, Trotsky's assassination, Soviet aggression against Finland, and much more. One major problem with this documentary, or at least the version that I have seen, is that a good amount of the documentary is in a foreign language, with no subtitles. I managed to sit through this inconvenience, but would not expect many other people to do so.
