Director: Jessica Gorter

At the end of the 1980s, eight per cent of Russians considered Stalin a great man and hero. Surveys today put this figure at 52 per cent. Millions of people died in labour camps and executions at the hands of Stalin. Nevertheless, in current Russian society there is a tendency to downplay the horrific side of Stalinʼs rule and to focus on his alleged virtues. The Dutch filmmaker Jessica Gorter travelled to Russia on behalf of the people whose families were affected by Stalinʼs terror, even those who believe that Soviet totalitarianism is preferable to democracy.
