@Zementide I am not a patriot communism. It had its minuses, ofcourse. I was born after crash of the communism, however it doesn't mean, that anyone can speculate facts. There are ultimate solutions found centuries ago, my friend. But the system is big so it is hard to crash it.

[Zementide]

@glindork1 Please.. try to look over the communistic partiotism. I always try to look on both sides. No nation sees itself as the "bad ones". The motivation to do such things always comes from "for the good of all of us". No one has got the ultimate solution for world peace... not even you.

[sechelf]

@glindork1 yes my deported grandparents blindly believe what was said in this movie

[immantiat]

The voice to listen is the voice of the people from occupied countries. That the only wise voice to listen.

[glindork1]

it's easy to speculate the facts after the Union is down... Free medicine, free education, free tourism camps, best patriotic songs. Where is the proof to this film? O my God, why are you people believing to this film? My heart hurts, when I see someone hating this country. Please, we need to be strong, especially the East. Europe and USA wants to separate us by making lies abou Soviet Union, but please, don't belive it and try to find truth by your own, find facts! Don't believe blindly!

Да се не забораве злочини тоталитаристичких режима. СМРТ ФАШИЗМУ, СМРТ КОМУНИЗМУ! СССС

[Menties1]

@TheVarsenya What about crimes and massacres of USSR. Stalin and Red army murdered about 20 000 000 Russians people..Stalin killed more people than Hitler. In Katyn massacre 1939 USSR murdered about 22,000 polish. Holocaust is best known massacre but not only. We should also judge guilties to Great Purge, Red Terror and Katyn massacre. History is written by the victor! German have already confessed and apologised own crimes! What about Russia? Too patriot to confessed own mistakes?
