“The Soviet Story” is a story of an Allied power, which helped the Nazis to fight Jews and which slaughtered its own people on an industrial scale. Assisted by the West, this power triumphed on May 9th, 1945. Its crimes were made taboo, and the complete story of Europe’s most murderous regime has never been told. Until now…

SYNOPSIS

The film tells the story of the Soviet regime.

- The Great Famine in Ukraine (1932/33)
- The Katyn massacre (1940)
- The SS-KGB partnership [in the late 1930s the KGB was called NKVD, more info>]
- Soviet mass deportations
- Medical experiments in the GULAG.

These are just a few of the subjects covered in the film.

“The Soviet Story” also discusses the impact of the Soviet legacy on modern day Europe. Listen to experts and European MPs discussing the implications of a selective attitude towards mass murder; and meet a woman describing the burial of her new born son in a GULAG concentration camp.
The Soviet Story is a story of pain, injustice and “realpolitik”.

PBS stations to screen ‘The Soviet Story’
On October 11, 2009, PBS stations throughout the United States will have access to ‘The Soviet Story’, the awardwinning and highly acclaimed documentary film by Edvīns Šnore (www.sovietstory.com).
The film’s distributor Daris Delins notes: „We have reached another important milestone in the distribution of the film. Via PBS distributor NETA (National Educational Telecomunications Association – www.netaonline.org ) the film will now be accessible to NETA’s 172 members that comprise 340 PBS stations across the United States. Each
of these PBS stations will now be able to screen the film. Even before NETA approached us we had received very positive feedback from PBS member stations who had viewed the film. Given PBS stations are very selective about what they screen, NETA’s acceptance of the film is an important acknowledgement of the film and its potential
audience reach. Many Americans will be now be able to learn about this important period of history and how it still resonates today.”

The first PBS station in the U.S. scheduled to air the film will be WDSC 15 Daytona Beach on October 15 at 9:00 pm. Other PBS member stations that have already indicated their interest to screen the film include: KAET 8, Phoenix, Arizona; KPBS 15, San Diego, California; WEDU 13, Tampa, Florida; WTIU 30 Bloomington, Indiana; IPTV, Iowa Public TV, Iowa; MPT (Maryland Public TV), Maryland; NHPTV (New Hampshire Public TV), New Hampshire, WHYY 12, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and WNED, Buffalo, New York. Following the NETA release, more stations are expected to follow, particularly as viewers
get news that the film is accessible by their local station.

Overseas, in the coming months the film will be screened on national TV in Greece (ERT), Italy (Fox), Poland (TVP) and Spain (History Channel). In Sweden the national network SVT will screen the film on December 5. The film has already aired on national TV in Belarus, Estonia, Georgia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Sloevnia and Ukraine.

At the end of 2009 a 2nd edition DVD of the film will be released. This new DVD will include additional subtitled languages including: Belarussian, Bulgarian, Danish, Dutch, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Norwegian, Portguese, Romanian, Serbian, Slovenian, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
