Storyline

“The Soviet Story” is a story of an Allied power, which helped the Nazis to fight Jews and which slaughtered its own people on an industrial scale. Assisted by the West, this power triumphed on May 9th, 1945. Its crimes were made taboo, and the complete story of Europe’s most murderous regime has never been told. Until now...

Soviet Story does a thorough job of laying out what happened, but its dull, educational-style format doesn't guide us to the next step of why we should care.

The filmmaking in The Soviet Story is so overwrought that at times the movie comes across as comical.

RTTime OutOct 22, 2008

An offensively schlocky treatment of an important subject, The Soviet Story turns Stalin's systematic starvation and slaughter of millions into a hopped-up horror flick.

For anyone who possesses interest in the history of wartime Europe, this disturbing and tragic documentary needs to be studied.
