@timkmak Good morning Tim, I had the chance to watch Russians at War in Venice last week and I disagree. I did not see it as an attempt to whitewash, the soldiers are openly criticizing their leadership and the war. I do however think it is a dangerous movie to show to an audience not familiar with the conflict as some of the interviewees regurgitate Russian propaganda unchallenged.
