I'm Russian.My husband is American. It's terrible that the most of Americans don't know Russian history.And what is the most humiliating for me is that Americans ignore the role of Russia(the USSR)in the WWII.Some of you just know how many people we lost in this war(25 million).But what about the fact that Russians liberated not only our land but Czechoslovakia,Poland,Bulgaria,Austria,we entered Germany.And it was the red flag of the USSR that was raised over German Parliament in Berlin.The USSR did all the job.Why the allies didn't help France in 1940? When the USSR needed the help of allies, they preferred to stay apart. And when the deal was almost over they suddenly appear on the stage just for signing in the World history.OK, they helped us and thank them,but I don't want anybody to forget the role of my country and the glory of its soldiers.I will always remember the words of my grandfather "There is nothing worse than the war".He became soldier in 1941 and he was in Berlin in 1945 when the war ended.I just want everything to be fair. And if the American channel takes the job of filming the history,please do it without being subjective.I have seen your films before .They are well done.But who will like the film that shows the history in favor of one country at the expense of another?
