Plot synopsis

An unexpectedly correct and frank film. Polemically pointed against us, today, still sick of the Stalinist myth. It may seem like there is too much rhetoric, but this rhetoric is justified, because this is not so much a historical study as an attempt to appeal to the mind and heart. The slogan of the film, that Russia was occupied by the Soviet Union, echoes Solonevich’s famous book “Russia in a concentration camp” and reminds us that in the history of mankind there has never been a case when the best part of the nation (scientists, writers, philosophers, theologians, honest officers ) was completely driven behind bars and virtually exterminated. The destruction of Russia, begun by Lenin, is Stalin’s main cause, but whether he will answer for this, whether his descendants will start a “Case” against him is still a big question. After all, we now live in timelessness, no longer in the USSR, but not yet in a revived Russia, and we are sick of this timelessness even more than the gray mass of Stalinism...
