An Estonian documentary made during the WWII about the Bolshevik terror in Estonia during the period 1940- 41. Unfortunately only 21 minutes of footage survived – the rest was destroyed by the communists after the war.

Most facts regarding Soviet occupation of Baltic states are correct. Jews were overrepresented in the Soviet government apparatus up until 1950. But the rest – primitive propaganda, misrepresentation and lies. Ridiculous claims that Estonia cheka (NKVD) was run by a Jew Kumm, independently of Beria. Jews are portrayed as retarded, mentally and physically disabled. Claims that Jewish synagogues were left untouched while churches were destroyed and jews had total freedom of religion. In reality, there was only one synagogue left for each city where it used to be hundreds (Odessa, Kiev, etc). The Soviet communist party even had a Jewish section consisted of communist Jews, whose main goal was to harass religious/traditional Jews and persuade/force them to abandon religion.
