Everybody who comments about Russia on /his/ should first watch TraumaZone.

It's available on youtube so there's no fucking excuse.

It's absolute fucking kino. I'm not trying to shit on Russia. I lived there before, I love the place, but I'm fascinated by it.

Would love a thread to learn more, and to help spread some understanding beyond kike well poisoning and buzzword posting.

I am getting a little tired of Adam Curtis' takes on the USSR, I have just seen too much already, is there anything in here that wasn't covered in his other films? Any different angle?

I'll give you an excuse: too long

He did more before? This was my first outing. Just 2 episodes in. Hit hard, desu.

Sorry, can't answer therefore about previous outings. Just kinda guessed this was the 'well regarded one'.

Thanks for the answer, though.

What else do you do here on 4chan? try and choose one effort shit a day to think about, it'll do wonders as opposed to doomscrolling and shitposting endlessly.
Click the link, watch 4 minutes, and have a little think, then report back.

But beware of the Tajik menace

>>17823715 I'm not dumb to look at shit that doesn't matter. I focus on what will free me from this illusion you call reality.

Just watched picrel as a clip, maybe as a kid you would've benefited from it.

I have it on the backlog

I kind of like his style as a documentarian, very minimalist, very little showmanship (though I'm fine with that to an extent, I also like Herzog Docus and Africa Addio). However I can only watch stuff like TraumaZone in waves. Only some many minutes of unedited cam-corder footage I can stomach.

>>17823769
Op here. Watched the first episode and was wowed.
Took fucking ages to watch the second. Wowed again.
Know exactly what you mean. 100% agree.

nobody ever was harmed getting smashed and watching a doco

For me it's the MILF who stil thinks she doesn't need a bra after being released from jail:

Also, world's first non-Jewish Russain found!

That period in Russias history was a disgrace and you are fascinated by it lmao.

>>17824514
Aren't we all fascinated by the craziest shit?
A lot can be learnt from this period, and it's set the tone of these decades.

Morbid fascination maybe is more apt.

>>17823769
i could watch a single episode in a single sitting but I usually felt like shit for the rest of the evening

>>17824936
I guess you are right. It's like Weimar Germany. We are all fascinated by those crazy transition periods where anything can happen.

>>17825254
How big of a pussy are you? Can you really not view history objectively without crying? Do you get mad about Ea-Nasir's shitty copper?

>>17825410
ahhahahhhhhaha.
fuck, this is genuinely one of the funniest comment is've read for a while.
fair play.

>>17826182
Reddit is down the hall.

that's like crimebro's threads about boomer serial killers. fascinating to see how dystopian America was in the 70s-80s.
