Showing everyone from reindeer herders to scientists wrapping themselves in sticky tape to head into Chernobyl, this fine series traces the latterday Russian revolution that brought in a kleptocracy and paved the way for Putin

Apparently curtis has a new film out.

Anyone seen it? Have a link? What did you think?

    I watched like half of the first episode and got bored tbh. Without narration or music I don’t really see the point, if I’m gonna be reading the whole time I’d rather just read a book on the subject and avoid his BBC lib biases. Also I recognized two reused clips from hypernormalization lol

      I haven’t watched it yet either, heard it described by someone who did enjoy it as it being like if the late soviet union had vine and twitter - just a jumble of images from the collapse of the ussr crossed with just daily life.
