Volume 9 of the
Glasnost Film Festival
.
The Glasnost Film Festival
is a 12 DVD collection featuring 22 documentary films produced or released in the beginning of the "Glasnost Era" in the Soviet Union, 1986-1988. These independent films definitively document the historic cultural and political shifts that led to greater openness and the eventual demise of the Soviet Union in 1991.
All were produced originally on 35mm film and are subtitled in English.
A sweeping look at the excesses of the Stalin era via rare archival footage as told through the story of a top Red Army commander, who in 1938 was declared an "enemy of the people" and perished in Stalin's torture chambers.
The film attempts to study the fate of the country through the biography of Marshal Vasily Konstantinovich, who was a man of irreproachable courage and compassion.

Reviews and Festivals
"Ambitious...effectively portrays the dilemma of a decent man caught in the gears of a machine that he inadvertently helped to build."
— James Krukones, John Carroll University
"Focuses more on the question of why a man with such integrity participated in these trials...brings up the question of 'why did everybody else, the average citizen, participate in a collective delusion'"
— Erin Alpert, Visualizing the Past: Perestroika Documentary Memory of Stalin-Era Trauma
