:::Ive been watching [https://youtu.be/VB8NDI0oVBQ this film that was posted on YouTube a few days ago]. It was made in 1989 - two years before the demise of the Soviet Union - when nobody involved in making the film knew the Soviet Union would cease to exist in 2 years. It stars the American actor Powers Booth, then at the peak of his career, as the hero of [[Stalingrad]]. So in this piece of communist agitprop, you can see the respect for Americans and hope for the future the Russian people had in the final days of the Soviet Union. Can you imagine Tom Cruise or Harrison Ford today being invited to play the lead role of a great Russian hero in a Russian film today? after all the lies and betrayal of trust by our government over the past 30 years?
