When general prejudices against Russia, stops a film.

@StanKutcher @kolga @PopovaProf @irgarner “If Anastasia Trofimova’s film Russians at War is a piece of Kremlin-approved propaganda, as its legions of detractors allege, then whoever approved it should stay well clear of any high windows.” - The National Post https://t.co/NIywpwSq9r

[SOTA @sotaproject]

Нашумевший документальный фильм «Русские на войне» наконец можно посмотреть в Сети. Правда, за 6 долларов – а значит, для большинства россиян он по-прежнему недоступен.

Автор ленты – Анастасия Трофимова – снимала войн с российской стороны, и уже одно это вызвало шквал критики.

При этом она не была «военкором» или пропагандистом, а старалась беспристрастно отражать происходящее.

«Если бы «Русские…» вышли лет этак через пять после окончания конфликта, споров было бы меньше. Если бы фильм показали только иностранцам, споров почти бы не было. Но фильм Трофимовой смотрят и критикуют люди, которые испытывают ненависть ко всем представителям групп: к русским, украинцам, к военным той или иной стороны. И это делает объективное обсуждение «Русских на войне» невозможным. Вместо обсуждения получается передача «Пусть говорят», где все просто орут друг на друга».

Рассказываем о фильме, который вызвал столько споров: https://t.co/xMIHNMyr2O

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

With the controversial film “Russians at War” available on pay-per-view, the filmmakers are encouraging audiences to watch and “judge for themselves.”

So, we did.

@FabioDeMasi Ich danke Ihnen für Ihre sorgfältige Perspektive. Es ist gut und wichtig, unseren Film nicht ungesehen zu verurteilen, sondern sich eine Meinung nach dem Ansehen zu bilden. „Russians at War“ ist hier verfügbar. https://t.co/VtNfKT2MiX

First Nations in Alberta would go to war if @ABDanielleSmith was to separate Alberta. From Sturgeon Lake Cree Chief Sheldon Sunshine (just one of many) telling it like it is:

“Dear Premier Smith:

You are attempting to manufacture a national unity crisis - by enabling a referendum on separatism and a fanatical cell of individuals - at the exact moment when Canadians need to unite against Donald Trump's America.
The province of Alberta is on Treaty lands.
Please be advised that your irresponsible statements and actions are in breach of Treaties No. 6, 7 and 8. We demand that you immediately stand down from this conduct.
Our Treaties are sacred covenants and are to last forever. Alberta did not exist when our ancestors agreed to share the land with the Crown. The province has no authority to supersede or interfere with our Treaties, even indirectly by passing the buck to a "citizen" referendum.
If you or any Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Chief Sheldon Sunshine
Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation”
