This movie is pretty interesting and opens many facts hidden before. It is something totally different compared to what was shown through standard Hollywood prism. It might be a great series for the History Channel.
One of the reviewers said "the narrative was controlled by the Russian Government". Nothing would stop the movie director to rerecord the voice part once they had the films- like for the recent British captives from Iran such thing was very easy.
And yet this movie does not cover all WWII and only focuses on the Eastern front which was the most devastating to Hitler.
On Nonaggression Pact: UK and Poland did not want to become Soviet allies which left Stalin no other choice but to get into non-aggression agreement with Nazis. It gave the Soviets about 2 years to better prepare for war which lasted for almost 5 years and cost Soviet Union about 20 million of lives. No other country paid more in WWII than Russia.
Though filmed almost 40 years ago the movie still surprises with lots of unknown info - truly "Unknown War".
