sometime Hollywood/Russian film director, comes this devastating look at the massacre of a group of protesting workers in a small factory town in Russia. The story is told from the point of view of a civic leader who is vocal in calling for the violent suppression of the workers--- until she realizes her daughter was in the midst of the protest when shots rang out.What makes this interesting is that the event itself wasn't reported for many years--- many observers were "disappeared" as well as many of the participants. Even more intriguing: Putin laid a wreath at the site commemorating the massacre a few years ago--- yet he was a member of the organization responsible.
In a land purportedly all about worker rights, it was obviously explosive to have the government involved in a deadly attack upon unhappy workers: first off, workers weren't supposed to be discontented; secondly, the military was supposed to be part of the "workers' struggle."
Very good acting across the board. Hulu

Hard to believe he directed Tango & Cash.
Honestly, I avoid grim films. I know the world is full of man's inhumanity to man, and don't care to watch it. Once time a co-worker recommended that I watch a film about the rape of Nanking. I thought WTF? No thank you.
P.S. I have been to a Holocaust Museum.

And I don't care to see it in movies. Just something that makes me laugh. But YMMV.

The linked article gives a more pertinent overview of the present working class in Russia where trade unions are weak just like here.

And weak because the "leaders" are venal and corrupt. Strikes in Russia always are illegal, and yet they happen often which is a healthy sign. It used to be that way in the US when strong unions were creating the middle class which now has largely disappeared. Now they act like pussy cats.

Just two easy multiple choice questions.
I stated the following:
1. Which of the following has weak trade unions?
A. Russia but not the U.S.
B. The U.S. but not Russia.
C. Both Russia and the U.S.
D. Neither Russia nor the U.S.
2. Which of the following has lots of wildcat strikes?
A. Russia but not the U.S.
B. The U.S. but not Russia.
C. Both Russia and the U.S.
D. Neither Russia nor the U.S.
The correct answers are C and A.
If you answered both correctly, then you don't need a free education.

'how little people here know about their main adversary'
know about them? there's about 41% don't even recognize them Victor
with regards,
ju
apply some nuance and you might see them as still being emergent
take into consideration the world's petrol based economy before giving weight to a gov't controlled cheap labor pool ... because that is their threat ... cheap labor is always a threat to democracy, and that's existed in proximity with the 'southern sphere' of influence, just not under total gov't control as in China
now, if China had oil too, boy howdy would the western world poop their pants
with regards,
put, the US is its own worst enemy.
.
depending on the spin involved that may be true
though when it comes to threat assessment history shows that overreaction will serve better that complacency but neither has any place in diplomacy
so there's always that
best regards,
If you care to respond to my original question, I'd be happy to continue.
What point do you think you were making with reference to Putin in your OP? I pointed out the Putin was 10 years old at the time of the incident in this movie, so I'm interested (kind of) in what point you thought you were making. Or not.
the incident occurred.
I don't see what that has to do with my post.
Putin was long time KGB. KGB was implicated in the massacre, i.e. the snipers in the film were KGB. I think it's interesting that he'd lay a wreath, a gesture of mourning, at the site. Was he pretending the KGB wasn't responsible?
Now, what did you mean by your mentioning his age?
This is what you said:
"Putin laid a wreath at the site commemorating the massacre a few years ago--- yet he was a member of the organization responsible."
It's obvious that you were attempting to make a connection between the incident in the movie and Putin. I mentioned Putin's age at the time of the incident to indicate that Putin himself had NO connection with that incident. And your question in this last post (Was he pretending the KGB wasn't responsible?) finally reveals what you were really trying to imply: that Putin was "pretending that the KGB was not responsible", which is nothing more than pure, useless speculation on your part.
I'll defer to his motives and the pertinency over yours.
Next time, turn the gun around before shooting unless you enjoy self-inflicted wounds.
Talk about turning the gun around. . .
Most people don't. It's rather obvious.
You think you're the only one who asks "why?" - You flatter yourself.
You questioned his credibility. Putin is a controversial subject in ruling circles of the US.
Tin's just following in the "accepted" critique of Putin by "authorities" in the US gov. and media.
"Pootie" Putin critiques go as far back as 1991 with the lodge brotherhood.
One thing IMO in Putin's favor is his getting Assad of Syria to decommission Syria's chemical weapons of mass destruction.
