So Foreign to American Audiences
Most Americans do not understand that Stalin was a demon equal to Hitler. They never taught us that in school ... they were our allies ... but if you dig you can find out. A great film listed here on IMDB is the documentary "A Soviet Story." Here they discuss the death of about 11,000,000 Ukrainians prior to the start of the war as a result of Stalin's collectivization.
Equally hard for Americans to understand is the complete adoration of the Russian people towards "Uncle Joe." Imagine over 1,500 crushed to death when Stalin was laid in State? This movie does a great job in illustrating this adoration and in that respect is a unique and valuable film.
