Ok so I have been looking on the internet for a stream of the documentary ''The Soviet Story'' with english subtitles (since alot of people being interviewed in it are speaking russian) and the only streams I can find have polish subtitles or some other weird language.

Now I am usually the last person to believe in conspiracies but it just seems a little odd that the internet seems to have been vacuum cleaned of any version that can be watched by english speaking people (I know the narrator speaks english but not everything in it is told by him)
Could it be that certain socialist leaning groups dont want people to know the truth about the similarities between Nazi and Communist doctrines? I remember reading that the documentary pissed off the Russian government enormously (iirc it was banned there).

It certainly seems like some people are going to great lengths to stop anyone from streaming this documentary with english subtitles anywhere.

If any of you guys are able to find me a link of this (with english subtitles) I would greatly appreciate it, maybe my internet searching skillz are just failing me here but after looking at 25+ streams all with non-english subtitles im getting a wee bit annoyed.

They (soviet socialism and nazism) have similarities but not a lot. If you read Soviet era literature, the germans are usually portrayed as dogs and generally bad people. Of course, the governments did get along well for the most part (such as the infamous Hitler-Stalin pact), but that's a different story.

ETA: None of the Russians I've talked to have anything kind to say about the Nazis. They still celebrate their military victory over the Germans in the early 1940's as Victory Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Russia#Victory_Day). Even younger Russians often refer to the Nazis as "fascists"-and not in a nice way at all.

If I find a vid with English subtitles I'll post it. :cool:
