Description: anything goes
I just watched an amazing documentary on Antenne 2 called “Putin, the new Empire” 15th Dec 2016. The director Jean-Michel Carré , has already made two other documentaries about Putin, and he chose to make this one from a Russian point of view.It seems as if none of his excellent documntaries are translated, which is such a pity.
Here’s the description of the program in French, then an overview of the main parts in English.
The film starts with the dramatic pictures of the Russians celebrating the end of WWII (27 million Russian soldiers died during that war) and we learn that no western leader had accepted the invitation to this ceremony! The world leaders present were from China and India (among others) and Vladimir Putin made a very valid speech about the Russians defeating Hitler.
