Nevskiy's Russians vs. German Crusaders (Northern Crusade)

EUROPEAN HERITAGE LIBRARY
WWW.EUROHERITAGE.NET

In the 13th century, the first pan-Russian state (plus much of Ukraine) called Kievan Rus was destroyed by the Mongol hordes with their Muslim Turkish mercenary armies, leading to centuries of Muslim and Mongol domination until the 16th century, when Ivan the Terrible cemented the rebirth of Russia (in Moscow). Novogorod, an ancient Russian state, was not absorbed into the Tatar-Mongol yoke. In the 13th century, the German Empire and Danish Kingdom began to organize Christianizing crusades, mainly against the Lithuanians, Old Prussians, and Finns of Estonia. In this film, the German Teutonic Order attacks the Russian Slavs of Novogorod. Prince Aleksandr Nevskiy rallies the Slavs against this common foe, ultimately succeeding, and humiliating the Germans in Eastern Europe for centuries. Edited from the Soviet classic film "Aleksandr Nevskiy". Stalin chartered this film as a propaganda piece to depict the Germans as cruel and savage at the same time as it sought to portray the Russians as mighty heroes who repelled an invading army. When Stalin declared non-aggression with Hitler in the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the film was banned from Soviet theatres. When Hitler broke the pact, it was returned.

The copyright of the film is expired.

S.Eisenstein (the director) was a Jew. Communist Jew. He didn't support Russians, neither Germans. He supported the communist Jewish Soviets. Many Jewood movies are clearly anti-German propaganda movies. I mean, Eisenstein was a good director only because he had the support of the party. If Eisenstein wasn't Jew and communist, he wouldn't be that famous and his movies wouldn't have been so praised.
