By 2014, I was a russophobe, like most of my fellow countrymen, unfortunately. However, I have always been an opponent of the Shaulis, the bander and the border nationalisms that are anti-Polish and anti-Russian.
Events in Majdan and hypocrisy of media broadcasting in Polish opened my eyes. During Majdan, the same wrote “Gazeta Wyborcza” and its right-wing addition in the form of “Gazeta Polska”. Since then, I have a relation with the Russian Federation that fits 1 of the chapters of my biography. Roman Dmowski by Roman Wapiński – I support a reasonable settlement with the Russian Federation.
The Russian Films Pursuit
Russian cinema and the attitude towards it of various Polish-speaking historians besides made me aware of how people who are separated from reality form narratives in Poland. I remember a sharp article in the magazine “To Things” by Sławomir Cenckiewicz about the movie June 1941. Cenckiewicz powerfully criticized this movie due to the fact that Polish actors - called as collaborators - performed there. I found this video on the Internet, and I was impressed. The movie talks about Stalinist repression and many bad things that happened in the USSR. In Hollywood there are no shortages of pashquila about our homeland, but no actors playing a third-party function in Yankee films are challenged by collaborators. The media in Polish is delighted erstwhile a Polish actor gets a insignificant function in Yankee films, while in the USSR and Russian Federation Polish actors have always been treated like stars. Since then, I've watched many Russian films and outside the movie Gieroj And a show. Silicon Russian cinema is very good (these 2 productions I did not like due to the fact that they were a monkey of Anglo-Saxon films). Last time I saw a show Committee And I think it's a very good show in many ways.
Distribution of the russian Union
The show talks about the peripeties of 3 friends working in the Leningrad KGB. Paul Ivanov is an average worker. erstwhile a sister reports a bank robbery, Ivanov eliminates bandits, so she gets a occupation offer in the KGB. Vladimir Naumov is in a relation with an actor who wants to make her career in Leningrad. Dmitri Vasiliev is the boy of a general and very much wants to meet the advanced demands of his father. The series' action takes place from 1967 to 2005 (with a insignificant flashback for planet War II). As a plus to the show, 1 can besides credit the fact that Russians talk Russian, Germany in German, Americans in English. The action takes place in various parts of the USSR / Russian Federation (mainly Moscow and Leningrad), as well as in Afghanistan and the US.
In production, the grumpy power elites are shown. Deserved during the wartime, Smirnow's promoter forbids Ivanov ( Ivanov is the head of his protection) from courting his daughter even though both Ivanov and Smirnov's daughter are on the same page. Smirnow wants her daughter to marry a falconed, effeminate man who has extended contacts and is associated with diplomacy. The show shows the collapse of the USSR. There are no shortages of people desperate to go to the collective West (the show has a hijacking aircraft to get out of the USSR). Live outside the USSR besides wants son-in-law and daughter Smirnov, which ends tragically for them. There is besides a deficiency of addressing hard topics from the fresh years of the USSR, specified as cultural tensions.
KGB dilemmas
Ivanov as a safety defender of the promoters is simply a witness erstwhile a high-ranked typical of the organization apparatus goes out to an angry people and wants to talk to him (this exit almost tragically). Ivanov then speaks very crucial words “You are not to talk to the people, you are to service them.”. The show besides shows the tragic destiny of Naumov's superior commander. Commander Naumowa does not know who to support: a legal leader, but a traitor Mikhail Gorbachev (Gorbaczov gave without a fight the Anglo-Saxon majority of Central and east Europe to the detriment of both the interests of Moscow and the countries placed in Anglo-Saxon hands) or Boris JelcinWho wants to destruct the USSR and build Russia on its rubble, or inept russian defenders. Eventually, Naumowa's superior commits suicide.
The defeats of 1990.
The show shows the tragic 1990s. It's a time of gang war on the streets, governments sacks in the Order In Russian settlements, times of lawlessness. It is worth noting that on the show the real names of criminal groups appear. Here I have an allegation due to the fact that any representatives my wife they are highly dull and look alternatively like a stereotypical image of a Polish fan from “Gazeta Wyborcza”, whereas high-ranking gangsters were usually highly dangerous and at the same time highly intelligent.
With small knowledge, my fellow countrymen may be outraged that it is shown how erstwhile KGB officers fight against bandits in a steadfast manner. meantime Mark Galeotti (this man is hard to fishy of rusophilia) in his book Bags. Secrets of the Russian Super Mafia acknowledges that there are no shortages of people in Russian law enforcement bodies who fight the mafia and organised crime. With the stormy 1990s. There is besides a tiny Polish subject in the show.
Policy services
There are also controversial themes in the show as well. Naumov as a steadfast corruption slayer goes into the political world. However, many people straight from the service play an crucial function in the authorities of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The president of the Luhansk People's Republic is Leonid Pasile, who served in the safety Service of Ukraine and for the fight against crime was even decorated by the president of Ukraine, neo-banderist Viktor Yushchenka. The Russian administration of the Kharkiv region is headed by Vitali GanchevWho was a police lieutenant colonel. The show shows the character of writer Zimin, who hates the USSR, and his ancestor was associated with the NKVD. Zimin loves everything in the collective West, hates the USSR and Russia. Naumov rightly notes that Zimin does not compose critical opinions, but is simply a traitor. Zimin in 1990 poses as a dissident, erstwhile oppositionist. As a result, he has large political influence in Yeltsinian Russia. Zimin uses his influence and wants to sale the resources of the country he is simply a citizen to Western business representatives.
Service patterns
Turns out Ivanov is simply a traitor, works for the Americans. Vasilyev, even though he was his friend, considers Ivanov a traitor. He says death is not adequate for specified traitors (Wasiliev chooses his homeland, not his friend, although it is very hard for him). How this contrasts with the services that talk Polish. How shortly did these services find a fresh master during the course of the Polish People's Republic or after the fall of the Polish People's Republic. In our homeland, the services usually fight an imaginary and exaggerated threat of Belarus and Russia. Meanwhile, Anglo-Saxon and Ukrainian services can go unpunished in our country.
The end of the series is besides optimistic. The Yankees are played (I will not uncover details, but associations come up with Argentina and Slovenia). The traitor Zimin lands where the traitors are. Serial Committee He's surely worthy of command.
