I do wish somebody would make a film or a documentary film about the millions upon milions of Orthodox Christians the Soviets killed throughout the Soviet Union as well as the thousands of Baptists they killed as well.

It seems that they killed more Christians in their own country throughout their reign than they did nazis during WWII.

A good book is "Gulag" by Anne Applebaum. There was a documentary based on it on the History Channel this last week called "How The East Was Won".

The book makes the point that NO ONE was exempt from the Gulag, and it didn't matter (except to some of the inmates) what religion one practiced or didn't.

It is a compelling read.

Me too but that will never happen because there is this lingering love of utopia which was promised by the Russian Communists.

During the 30's the elites, many government officials, union organizations and particularly Hollywood types were caught up in the frenzy of the Russian Revolution.

I see that feeling expressed by left wing entertainment people all the time. While they don't openly express support for Communism, they say the words all the time and they will never, ever make a movie about the mass murders in the Soviet Union during and after the revolution.

Perhaps Mel Gibson would be the guy to do it and I really hope and even pray he does because most people in Hollywood don't want to disparage Communism and the rest don't have the courage.
