The most scandalous film about the war

In Russia, the majority of citizens with great reverence treat the art associated with the military. history. People enjoy watching military cinema on TV. Recognized masterpieces: "Seventeen Moments of Spring", "State Border", "They Fought for the Motherland", "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" and many other Soviet film legends.

Recently, films have begun to appear with claims to cover military history with obvious hints of attempts to change the attitude of the people to the Great Patriotic War. One of such films that can be classified as a movie lie is the film "Bastards". This is a story by Vladimir Feinberg (Kunin) filmed by Alexander Atanesyan. The film was released in 2006, and immediately received the most negative reviews from veterans and historians. It was stated that the film contains a real lie, which is aimed at denigrating the struggle of the Soviet people against fascism. After expressing claims not only to the director, but also to the author of the story, the latter (Vladimir Kunin) stated that the events that he once described were fictitious and had nothing to do with the real history of the war. In addition, Kunin noted that, in addition, the filmmakers distorted his word itself, introducing into the film something that was not indicated in the work.

The scandal, as you know, led to the fact that Vladimir Menshov refused to present the award to the film "Bastards". It was in 2007 at the MTV awards ceremony. Then Menshov defiantly announced that he was going to present the award, as the film "dishonors my country." It was a brave act of a famous director and an honest person, and it is this act that shows how one should treat the facts of distortion of history, which, unfortunately, are not uncommon today.

The events that were described in the film "Bastards" and Kunin's stories attracted the attention of even the FSB. This is a special case in recent history, when an investigation by special services is arranged based on a film. In the end, the FSB presented materials, according to which there was no school for the training of child saboteurs in the place described by Kunin (and indeed in general). This suggests that the script of the film itself was a priori provocative in nature in order to attract the attention of a liberal audience, which is what happened in the end.

Morning has begun on the collective farm! Citizens, today is Monday, the day is so hard, and you remember all the abomination! Respect to Menshov, Panin and Krasko are frankly sorry for the deceased, either well or nothing. But the wolf cub Golovin and K. were remembered at the award. "Kino" will find reviews with photos of similar products. I understand those who are sick and sympathize with those who do not.

Unfortunately, the liberoid intelligentsia is in the forefront of detractors and traitors to the Motherland. No wonder Lenin, in his hearts, called the intelligentsia "the shit of the nation" or something like that. Not all of course, but liberal for sure.

To be honest, I haven't seen this movie. But before I saw a film by the same director called "Muslim".
So I think the movie is ambiguous.

The intelligentsia is not a class, but a stratum living in Russia, which is not, de facto, part of Russia and takes the position of spitting on everything Russian and praising and exalting the West.

What you mean by intelligentsia, in fact, is not such, it is just a self-designation of people who are not always brilliant in mind, negatively disposed towards Russia and everything Russian. For them, a diploma of higher education and dislike for "this country" are a pass to a "cultural" society. They are the material that plays by no means the last role in various social upheavals. From them, the cadres of the fifth column are recruited.
Genuine intellectuals are such people as, for example, Lomonosov and Mendelev. Their learning was combined with love for Russia.

Good day. I haven't seen the movie, I know about it from the advertisement. But it's not that. This "creation" of art is nothing but a remake of our own film. Just the opposite. About 10 years ago, a film was shown on TV (unfortunately I don’t remember the name) about child saboteurs. They were prepared by the GERMANS!!! From the children of politically convicted. Although the NKVD also committed atrocities in it. Long story short, everyone died.
