Abstract:"Banned for ten years, this provocatively titled short film constructs a lyrical montage of archival footage from the end of the war in Germany and Russia: Nazi generals and their victims, landscapes of catastrophe, Soviet victory won at a calamitous cost. The images are numbered with the dates of Hitler's and Stalin's deaths to forge an analogy between the two dictators, both of whom inflicted destruction on the bodies and souls of the Russian nation."
