Latvian documentary causes controversy

Many historians acknowledge the sacrifices the Soviet Union made to defeat Nazi Germany in the Second World War. However, a film released in Latvia is suggesting that the Soviet Union helped Nazi Germany instigate the horrors of the holocaust. The move has been condemned by many as an attempt to rewrite history.

Is there a bigger joke in major international tv journalism then RT News (including Fox News)? I think not.

RT acting the mouthpiece attempting to portray Poles and Latvians as neo-fascist sympathizers when in fact nationalistc youth run amok in Russian today at alarming rates is rather rich.

Latvians are so pathetic. They need to lie a lot just to show their misguided hate.

@PolishWingedHussar10

actually, it the biggest piece of shit i ever saw.

naci in latvia were trying to force schools in lativa to brainwash kids - it didn't work at all.

too many people from older generation, who saw everything by their owns made a laugh on this.

i can tell you what..

you are indeed naci sympathizers.

you may call kremlins whatever you want, but they are NOT marching with ex SS soldiers on streets of moscow like latvian members of government and parliament do..

i rest my case here..

@Histonite That doesnt alter the fact that the soviet government not just some of their citizens collaborated at the start of the war with the nazis. As a result latvia was occupied by the red army the latvian president and many high ranking officials were arrested, tortured and or died in a soviet prison. At no stage did the latvian government ally itself with nazi germany, but the soviet union did.

The Soviet Story is one of the best documentaries mad ever and just look, such small nation like Latvia had enough balls to confront Soviet(russians) in their chauvinist lies of bolsheviks and today modern russians. Well done Latvia

Is the RT suffering from a Jew-infestation?

[epmer31]

Russia shouldn't be so peeved at the Latvians; the Jews have made a major industry out of Holocaust, a lesser event.
