Documentary films have the amazing ability to present reality, even when the authors wanted to create propaganda. This was the case with “Triumph of the Will of Leni Riefenstahl”, and with less talented documentarians who filmed the Stalinist trials and the “happy life” of the Gulag. We don’t think that this film has exaggerated claims... But this film is certainly a valuable video evidence of the tragedy that came with the war in Ukraine. Below we publish the author's summary of the film:

Dive into the world of extreme training with a documentary that shows the difficult journey that military personnel undergo as they prepare to become defenders of their country.

Does this phenomenon pose a serious threat to the future of Russia? Or, in the context of expanding globalization, successful emigrants are valuable for the country not returned to their homeland, but outside it?
