Using contemporary diaries and exposition, the film covers: Ukraine as a brief free state, absorbed into the USSR; Stalin’s ideology-driven industrialization and collectivization; “kulaks”; impossible quotas; closed borders, starvation in Ukraine, North Caucuses, Kazakhstan. Resettlement of vacant areas by Russians; The Cover-Up, unfree press, Walter Duranty, Gareth Jones. Lack of Western support for Ukraine. Manipulation of death certificates and census data. Genocide; compared to current Ukraine crisis.

18 questions for the c. 15-minute film. Differentiated! Both versions look very similar, but “B” version has subtle clues. Good subtitles: scripted, not auto-generated. Questions right up to the end, no slack time! Creates a great intro / revision / summary resource. Answer sheet. Very easy to mark. .doc & .pdf for all files.
