After the failure of communist-inspired revolutions all over the world, Stalin put the Comintern on hold and decided to build socialism in one country. But the abandonment of proletarian internationalism will never be consecrated. One of the official dogmas of the new Russian thought is anti-fascism. The fight against far-right parties is a priority for Western communist parties, especially with the war in Spain, which gives goodwill the opportunity to go and fight within the International Brigades. In the Soviet Union, through five-year plans and Stakhanovism, they are trying to transform the country into a great industrial power.

There's an error in the credits : It wasn't written by Patrice Chéreau ; he's only doing the (french) narration (voice-over). The documentary was written by Patrick Rotman, a journalist who himself started out as a communist militant in the 1960s, and who outgrew this phenomenon, realizing how the whole ideology turned into religious fanaticism, to the degree of condoning atrocities.

In other words people who want privileges like those in the old Soviet Union who lead the Stalinist counterrevolution and destruction of Lenin's Party. The revolution had never had a problem educating enough people so those who become dissatisfied can leave..The US has been constantly trying to destroy the revolution by terrorism and then by playing the phoney games like the campaign of independent library provocation that failed to gain traction or artists who sing insults.

Communism, as a socio-political ideology, has always been a subject of intense debate and scrutiny. Its theoretical foundation, rooted in the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, promises a utopia of classless society, where the means of production are owned communally, and wealth is distributed according to need. However, the practical implementation of communism in various countries throughout the 20th century has revealed two contrasting faces: one of utopian ideals and another of authoritarian rule. The Ideological Face: Equality and Utopia The theoretical appeal of communism lies in its promise of equality and social justice. Marx and Engels envisioned a society where the exploitation of the working class by the bourgeoisie would be abolished. In its place would emerge a classless society, free from the chains of capitalism, where the state would wither away, and the people would govern themselves democratically. This vision appealed to millions worldwide, offering hope to the oppressed and exploited masses yearning for a fair and equitable society. At its core, communism aimed to eliminate the vast economic disparities seen in capitalist societies. By abolishing private ownership of the means of production and distributing wealth according to individuals' needs, communism proposed a radical solution to social inequality. This ideological face of communism, with its noble ideals of equality, fraternity, and justice, continues to inspire political movements and thinkers around the globe. The Practical Face: Authoritarianism and Failure Despite its lofty ideals, the practical implementation of communism in the 20th century has often resulted in authoritarian regimes characterized by centralized control, suppression of dissent, and the erosion of individual freedoms. Countries like the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and North Korea attempted to build communist societies but ended up creating oppressive systems that strayed far from the original ideals of Marx and Engels. The transition from a capitalist to a communist society proved to be more challenging than anticipated. The abolition of private property and the centralization of economic planning led to inefficiencies, shortages, and often, famine. Moreover, the concentration of power in the hands of a few led to corruption and abuse. The dream of a classless society was replaced by a new hierarchy where party officials and the military elite enjoyed privileges denied to the masses. The suppression of political dissent and the curtailment of civil liberties became hallmarks of communist regimes. The promise of democratic governance and the withering away of the state gave way to totalitarian control, where the state intruded into the minutest details of people's lives. The ideal of creating a society based on equality and justice was undermined by the reality of oppressive rule and economic mismanagement. Conclusion The two faces of communism reflect the complex nature of this ideology and its implementation. While the ideals of communism continue to inspire those who dream of a fairer and more just society, the historical experiences of communist states serve as a sobering reminder of the challenges and pitfalls of turning these ideals into reality. The legacy of communism is thus a tale of contrast between what could be and what actually was, a reminder of the gap between noble aspirations and their practical outcomes.

One of the great contributing factors to the rapid fall of France to the Nazis in the first part of WW2 was the permutation of Communism through large numbers of the French working and middle classes, even reaching some elitists. France, in 1939, possessed a standing army that vastly outnumbered German forces. Problems came when geriatric French army leaders and the unenthusiastic army rank and file, including many soldiers exposed to the propaganda of the French Communist Party, preferred to sit still in the depths of the Maginot Line. This static defence stood no chance against the highly mobile tactics of Nazi 'Blitzkrieg'. It was no accident that an old French Army officer and many, willingly inactive, French soldiers moved south to form a 'collaborators' paradise' around Vichy. Allegedly, for the good of France and to ensure that France 'survived'. Many 'fair weather' French Communists also found a home there, in and out of uniform. These were the French people that, only a handful of years before, swallowed the mythology of lies fed to them by a 'ruling class' of French Communist leaders who, themselves, were actually elitists. The tragic irony of history played out until two staunch anti-communist nations: Britain and America, joined with Stalin who, finally, realised that Russia had no chance against Hitler without 'getting into bed' with modern, industrialised capitalist nations and their Commonwealth allies. As repugnant as it was for Britain and America to join forces with the Soviets, the situation was aptly summed up by Winston Churchill when he said of the Anglo-Soviet cooperation treaty, “If Hitler invaded Hell I would make, at least, a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.” And the irony goes back before WW2. Had not the fascists of Spain, Italy and Germany gained the popularity they did, the idea of a Russian Communist state may have well slowly vanished via popular uprisings against Communist oppression. It was only the blanket of fascism that began to cover Europe that, in time, would ensure the survival and growth of the USSR. Even the eventual defeat of Hitler's Berlin and his Germany by Russian forces was not 'written in stone' prior to the Anglo-Soviet treaty. Despite a massive supply of manpower to cover Russia’s battle losses; without the huge sacrifice of the West in providing heavy weapons, tanks and aircraft via sub-arctic convoys to Russia, a Soviet victory may have been in severe peril. Certainly, without them the war in the northern hemisphere may have dragged on for years longer than it did. I must challenge the timing of this 'generally pro-Russian' documentary at this particular time in recent history. Was this video screened now to, perhaps, divert our attention away from the Russian atrocities occurring in the Ukraine, again? Was this an attempt to occupy our minds with all the terrible events suffered by the Russian people? It's a long shot but it could be. And, a rather ineffectual one at that. The only factual, historical truth this film brings to mind is the fact that not one single nation on this planet has adopted Communism of its own free will without any form of revolution, duress or political/social inducement; unless these came at the point of a gun or the promise of lifelong slavery and starvation. After his death in 1953, it took a long time for Stalin to be exposed as the greatest mass murderer in the modern history of the world. In terms of pure numbers via executions, forced resettlement to regions incapable of sustaining life; slavery and military actions, Stalin made the hideous crimes of Hitler and his SS look like struggling amateurs. One cannot discuss Communism and mass murder without pointing the finger of guilt at Chairman Mao Zedong who was the ultimate 'fanboy' of Joe Stalin; who seemed to take, literally, Stalin’s dark quote, “No man; no problem.” From 1958 till his death, Chairman Mao was directly responsible for engineering the deaths of a stupefyingly conservative estimate of 42.5 million Chinese people. This figure comes from a long-term study of China experts by Pulitzer winner, Ian Johnson. Post war Russian leaders, were so eager to repair the damage Chairman Mao's famines and relocations did to the 'Communism brand', they made even the publishing of Mao’s name in the Russian press a crime. These days, in China, the only mentions of Mao are confined to bland euphemisms about “...years of difficulty...” etc. This unimaginable form of Communism made Chairman Mao the probable record breaker for genocide in the 20th or any other Century. It is, then, logical to assume that Chairman Mao will not receive a mention in this documentary series given its apparent bias. I found this episode disturbing, troubling and slightly depressing to watch, not only because of the plight of the Russian people it documents, but for the fact the anti-Communist narrative does not completely show itself until the last part of the film. I hope this was merely a case of inexperienced script editing of the film's narrative. BH

And no one can convince me that World War 2 was not about religion because the Russians and all the rest of the Europeans were called Jews even if they were not Jewish because they had all been Baptized in the water as understanding adults and many may have been the remaining descendents of the 60 to 100 million that were slaughtered in the Catholic Spaniard and German and England and French Inquisitions of the Middle Ages of whom got orders from the Catholic church in Rome as in the place and people that never get mentioned. And all of the land and possessions were stolen by the Catholics after they killed them. Communism was invented and run by the Catholics. Socialism by itself and separate from Communism was not invented by the Catholics and has worked well for Russia and Germany and Switzerland and Norway. But of course the Catholics are outraged and would rather have Communism and the concentration camps such as in China and or a feudal and Capitalist Monarchy system where anyone who is not of the wealthy or high positions falls further behind. And there is no free health care or even distribution of money made from manufactured goods and natural resources. There is nothing Godly about Catholic forms of government that are outdated and are proven ineffective.

@@bawsack69 Communism was invented by the Catholics to cover up the evils of false religion. The Catholics have enough money and resources and people to take over the west along with any where else they choose and they almost have. Communism was brought about in China by the Catholic French Concession of 1949. The Chinese say it is brutal for them. America has strict laws in place so the Catholics are using other unnoticeable ways but there are a lot of cameras in states like Texas and that and control and fear of speech is common in Texas and elsewhere where the Catholic presence is high.

The inventors of the chemical weapons of World War 1 and 2 that Hitler and others were mad about were Jewish and of the Old Testament Jewish Orthodox faith much like the people of Ukraine are. Also the Italian armies that had the bear symbol had joined Hitler and the Nazis as is portrayed in old films. Also common citizens are said to have participated in the atrocities of the victims of World War 1 and 2 of whom were commonly called Jews even though the majority were of another ethnicity indicating they were religious wars. As an example the famous German Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer had been Baptized as an understanding adult by immersion and refused Catholicism for himself or his church. He is known also for many quotes of compassion. He helped many people escape the Nazis and was found by the Nazis and executed. It is possible that the Italian Nazis executed him.

The Popular Front was a lurch from the ultra left to one of the right. Instead of unification of the working class a coalition with Bourgeois liberals that put a halt to revolution to keep the liberal "progressive Bourgeois" in the coalition. The NKVD Stalin's murder machine killed thousands of loyal communists in the Soviet Union and Spain. Trotsky was murdered in Mexico.

It seems that mistakes were made by the communists early on which did not result in the workers control but Stalin. That would be a long conversation. Both Stalin and Hitler were rather similar and bounced off each other and were Nationalists in a sense. Maybe the lesson is don’t kill off your intelligentsia and suppress the Socialists and Social Democrats. A split between Socialists and Communists was ultimately destructive and resulted in a fascist type of Communism in Russia.

this *docu* is comically produced in that everything they say has been said since the inception and organization of the soviet and the dictatorship of the proletariet. (see churchill and his antisemetic view of communisms(socialism)origin, his views and willingness to kill the revolution and bolsheviks in its birth as they were in the vanguard,uniting people of many different classes, though mostly workers and peseants, working in solidarity with any other political group that was truly representing people in any region they did not have power or representation(see nestor makhno and his anachist state in ukrain). One positive thing is that on 22:37 they admitt that in 1935 stalin had somehow correctly predicted that war with germany was inevitable.if not germany,then maybe japan, britain france ,america or all the above. greatefull to the patriotic people of the USSR.

I have trouble calling the Soviet system "communist". What is Communism, anyway? Lenin changed his economic policies just as often as he changed his underpants. So, was he a communist? Cuba and North Korea are stamped as "communist countries", even though their economies function very differently from one another. Is Communism simply the control of the means of production? Well, there were many "communist countries" which had a very relaxed attitude towards privatization of industry. You did not see the Gulag system as being, essentially, the Federal Reserve in other "communist countries". There was no Gulag in Cuba or in the "communists" of Central America. Even Iran was declared as a communist country before the coup which put the Shah in power. To cut a long story short, the USSR was Stalinist from the 1930's until Gorbachev's 1980's. China was Maoist, not communist. Cuba was Fidelista, Venezuela was Chavista, and so on. This point should be remembered, preferably emphasized, whenever "communism" is mentioned in any political or even in any merely intellectual discussion.

The US became the world's first superpower in about 8 months, from the time it entered WWI to the time it put an end to it, with all major belligerents owning billions of dollars to us. Before that, the USA didn't even have a standing army of more than 20,000 soldiers. At the height of its "power", the GDP of the Soviet Union was the one of Belgium, and often no more than Luxemburg. California ALONE has a GDP 20 TIMES higher than the USSR had in its time, compare year to year. In 1914, the US was the first industrial power in the world, followed by Germany. Not sure when you get your history classes, but Big Brother is very much messing up with your brain. The USSR started as a failed state, lived as a failed state, and died a failed state. The only time it did well was when the US was supplying billions upon billions of equipment to Stalin during WWII, before realizing it was perhaps the greatest blunder ever.
