Russia/Chechnya: Voices of Dissent

A documentary directed by Carlo Nero & produced by Vanessa Redgrave.
Runntime: 46:15


This documentary deals with the terrifying way that the former KGB (now FSB), used the Moscow apartment explosions and subsequent brutal invasion of Chechnya as a means to come to power in Russia, to suppress opposition and dissent in Russia, and how the Chechen experiment has caused acts of Terror to escalate.


The documentary is narrated by Vladimir Bukovsky, the heroic former Soviet dissident, and current Russian dissidents. Parallels are drawn with the Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 and how that was used to crush internal dissent. With the imprisonment and torture in psychiatric prisons of all those who fought valiantly to bring these injustices to the attention of the World.


Finally, this film is ultimately a testament to the multitude of brave and honest men and women who, over many years, have sacrificed their lives in the struggle for justice and freedom in Russia, Chechnya and all the former Soviet Republics, and the first Human Rights Organisations who helped them.
