I've seen this documentary in my country. It was called: "In Europe".

Interesting thing in this clip is the laughing soldier awaiting execution in lower part of the screen at 0:09.

He waits for the firing squad but keeps laughing at the camera?

The picture quality was better on tv though.

@bullseye911 Thanks for you comment. Can you send me the full name or maker of that documentary? Thanks a lot!

Interesting video...but i sugest to put the name of the documentary in the description.

[BOLSHEVlK]

@bobblopes1 I dont know from wich documentary is it!

Just because the soldier is crossing himself doesn't mean it's not a Bolshevik. There were millions of Russians who served in the Red Army, many of them because they had no other choice, would have starved to death or been executed themselves. If you think there were no Eastern Orthodox soldiers in the Red Army you are deluded.

@BOLSHEVlK That is not fascism. Nor is fascism the wholesale mass murder and in some cases genocide committed by European settlers on the native population of America or the continued occupation of their lands - for example.

For a definition of fascism I refer to you one of the many excellent on line dictionaries such as Websters or the OED.

@BENNYSIEGEL90 Yeah..... I don't see what this has to do with what I said.

I said it's horrible. You either agree it's horrible or it isn't horrible.

@SchafeyWafey

It is real life. Not some romantic crap you read and see on communist propaganda. Scary is that some people don't understand how hard this times were not just for Russia but entire world.

[whiterchocolate]

@darkwolfdv but would they have done that in front of an officer or a camera without fear of later punishment?

[anneloev]

@Arjakuru Strange as it seems, as you´re a soldier you stand in line as you are told to do so, no matter what comes to you. They knew that the latter significance between them and the firing squad was who was holding the gun. They all knew that it was the war itself, and they knew that themselves could have been the executioners in another situation. It is as hard for the firing squad as for the executionists... Its never a soldiers war, its always the politicians.

@BOLSHEVlK The documentary was directed by Roel van Broekhoven. It is a 35 episode documentary depicting historic events. I do not know which episode was about the revolution in Russia, but this week was about Germany after WW1.

@alanheath

if an indian savage (redundant) is the very first person to take a rich creamy velvety dump on some topsoil in north america, does the dirt automatically "belong" to him? what if he's the first to piss in the water at an undiscovered beach, does his urine drift through the waves marking his legal territory? i mean... what EXACTLY was ur point? lolz

[alanheath]

@rddaos I think you need to learn some English language grammar. I cannot understand you.

@alanheath

you're not suggesting that the genocide of europeans and occupation of their land wouldnt have taken place if the other peoples of the world had the ability, ARE YOU? lolz. nor are u suggesting that simply coz a native american's great, great, grandparents took a shit on north american land prior to a european, that the land someow "belongs" to them, ARE U? lolz
