With regard to this, my Shakespeare prof was telling us yesterday that there is indeed a "Communist" film of Hamlet, and of something else which eludes me presently, which features music by Shostakovich and is altogether quite fascinating. I was just wondering if this is the same that you are referring to, and if it may be obtained somewhere.Quote:

[QUOTE=Turk;266678]Aaah, are you Jewish? Well, i'm not a Nazi, as an individual Red Army may be liberators for your parents. But in universal point of view both of them, Nazis and Communists were Totaliter. And you should also know when Nazi army invaded Ukraine people of Ukraine welcomed them as liberators. Cuz while your parents getting jailed or killed by Nazis in Germany or Poland, Ukranians or Khirimea Tatars or Ahiska Turks were getting killed by Russian Government (by intentional famine of Communist government over 5 million people died in Ukraine and cannibalism cases seen in a educated country like Russia. Also %50 of Khrimea Tatars destoryed by Stalin's exile, these are just 2 examples).
So shortly they may saved YOUR PARENTS, but that doesn'T mean they were liberators in universal meaning.
Now, Turk, sorry if I somehow misunderstood you, but how does the fact that the Red Army was from a communist country have to do with the fact that it was them who defeated the Nazis?
I have a new favorite Soviet author, not that he really eclipses the older favorites, he's just newer...anyway, I'm talking about Vladimir Voinovich. I've read The Adventures of Private Ivan Chonkin and I'm about to finish it's sequel, Pretender to the Throne and I have to say Voinovich is just brilliant. His satire is sublime, his seemingly light and almost farcical style belie a much more sinister and deadly world, one in which incompetence and misunderstandings bring about death and loss of freedom. Like Bulgakov, he makes you laugh while at the same time he horrifies you. I've ordered a couple more books by Voinovich and I can't wait to get started on them.
