There is a seldom shown 1956 version of ‘’1984’’ staring Edmond O’Brien and Jan Sterling. It’s very .... gritty and stark like Orwell’s story.
FRiend.... you are missing some research. It is Chi-Coms who lost control of a weaponized virus at it’s Wuhan Biowarfare center. It is the desperate chicoms and their fake economy of free labor which certain elements in the US have always kow towed to-— for cheap prison labor. Off shore labor. The Clintons,the Bloombergs and nearly all of techie Californication, and oh yes... WalMart (remember when hitlery sat on their BOD?) Chi-Coms. Not oligarch Russians, who are beginning to understand the chinese threat to the rest of the world.
Indeed, Lenin’s family was upper middle class- his father was a school inspector/ curriculum. Lenin’s brother got caught trying to kill a Tsar by bombing,and was hung by the Ohkrana- the Tsarist police. Lenin’s “communism” was simply revenge.
Should also mention Lenin was syphilitic— he died of neurosyphilis in incredible neural pain, and of two strokes caused by the neural damage. And was a schizophrenic. So there is all that. Hardly a bernie type.... bernie is a loser who is pissed and should be paid attention to-— especially as regards any VP pick (should he win). Fight outright— the man is a complete lying thief. Socialism is theft— it has to be.

Thanks.
I’m downloading it now.
In the 2020 version, starring Bernie Sanders and AOC, Big Brother is the hero of the film. ;^)
Yeah, the reference to “1984” in your rant title produces confusion because it (the Orwell novel) is so frequently referred to (and so well known by many) that the reader’s mind is automatically primed to evaluate what follows in comparison to the novel.
That said, I’m still looking for a reference by you to earlier revolutions in 20th century Russia; the ones that created the Duma and began the process of trying to turn Russia into a constitutional democracy:
https://www.thoughtco.com/russian-revolutions-1906-1913-1221817
These revolutions and rebellions created the boiling political mess that made possible the “October” Revolution of very late 1917.
I also await a reference to the appalling Russian combat losses in World War 1.
Lenin is reported to have said that the [communist] revolution could not survive if the war continued.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Brest-Litovsk?wprov=sfti1
The Germans wanted a peace treaty with Russia for one reason: the release of Eastern Front divisions that could be redeployed for the massive German Spring 1918 offensive against the Allies. I doubt either Hindenberg or Ludendorff were thinking much beyond somehow winning the war in the West in 1918 before the hordes of American resources and soldiers showed up in force and made victory impossible. That meant getting the Eastern Front shut down. And shutting down the Eastern Front meant getting control over the naisaient Russian Government. Cue V.I. Lenin. It was a big risk but he delivered and that’s all they cared about. In the end, they lost anyway.

Could you translate that into English?
My favorite comment was about the nude scenes. Poster said it looks like she’s got a cat in a headlock.
Sorry, you are a supreme being, Me, just a next Slav, to not even clove to intellect of you, could not explain
it is really money, what makes us tick?
Plus 2 hundred people just shut down this country for 3 weeks
Funny , eh, how that happens in just matters of days.
Innocent to the core.
Who killed more people besides commies,nazis and crazy people. Not counting of their own...
That is just a little squirmy part of it.
Yugo, Bombed. Let's see, Libya, Not IMS, BOMBED, IRAQ, Bombed, Iran, next to be Bombed, Who else, etc, etc...
That is the reason I started this runt. Trying to make sense of why all of that happened?
Russkies were just annihilated in WWI. Got no reason to fight. But, as you said, give them a reason to defend....
This is the piece I wonder about, why did they go to the war?
Do you mean exSlav? Because that looks as if you are using a speech-to-text app, which is probably why your post is so difficult to decipher. I don't mean that as an insult. It's just an observation.
elcid1970: You should watch the 1955 British film version of “1984”.
In my original posting (#3, above), I wrote:
You watched a film version (which? there were several) of George Orwell's "1984?" Your description doesn't sound at all like that!
Doesn't that suggest that I am already familiar with "1984?". Indeed, I have read the book about twenty times, and seen all of the various different film / t.v. versions (the BBC production with Peter Cushing, the film version with Edmond O'Brien, and the film version with John Hurt et al.) – also the stage version performed in London in 2014.
