Movie Review: Dear Comrades

 This is a place-holder for movie review of the Russian film 'Dear Comrades'


The world did not know about the Novocherkassk massacre when it happened, or for several decades after it happened.  On June 2, 1962, several dozen protesters were killed by the Soviet forces in the town of Novocherkassk, over 650 miles south of Moscow.

You wonder what goes on in closed societies.  You wonder what stories will come out of North Korea after the fall of the Sung dynasty.


I loved the movie and wished my filmmaker friend Irina Sosnovaya would have made it.

I will write more, later.
