Desc: L'ombre de Staline: Directed by Thomas Johnson. With Jean-Christophe Brétignière, Irina Flige, Pavel Galitsky, Vladimir Kantovskiy. "The Shadow of Stalin" - Sixty years after his death, the cult of Joseph Stalin, one of the most cruel dictators of history, is revived by the Russians who have suffered so much. The director seeks to unravel the causes of this ambivalence. The film tells, thanks to the inventory work accomplished for twenty-five years by the historians and volunteers of the association Memorial, how, relegating terror to the margins of history, its ghosts continue not only to haunt the spirits and power, but to block any process of democratization.
