The Soviet Story
2008 · Movie · Not Rated · 86 min · ★ 7.3
This documentary argues that a major Allied power committed mass atrocities against its own people and aided Nazi efforts against Jews, then benefited from postwar silence about those crimes. It presents a case that Europe’s most murderous regime has been shielded by taboo and selective history, and aims to challenge that narrative.
