What is the historicity of the film "Revolution.com - USA: The Conquest of the East"?
Upvote:7
The original French film is called "Revolution.com - USA: The Conquest of the East".
The first evidence I could find of this film is a 2007 Pravda story with the headline: "USA spends over 100 million dollars on coups in former USSR". Pravda presents the French film as truth, and concludes with this assessment: "The French filmmakers do not say, where exactly on the post-Soviet space the next revolution will occur. They believe, however, that the USA is preparing coups on the entire territory of the former USSR."
The Pravda article does not link to the film, and I could not find an English version anywhere. The filmmakers are not named, nor is their distributor. The film is not linked to in the Pravda article. However, further searching revealed that the French agency CAPA was involved in making the original film. CAPA reacted strongly to the edited version shown on Russian television, filing a lawsuit against Rossia, a Russian TV network:
CAPA CEO Herve Chabalier told Agence France Presse that “we intend to initiate a court case against the Russian state channel and its authorized representative MCG Programming Limited.” He said that “We hold that the film was cut by at least six minutes. The film, shot by the Frenchwoman Manon Loizeau (whose name was cut from the Russian version), tells not of an American conspiracy, but of the people who support the democratization of the countries of the former Soviet area.” Chabalier continued that “The Rossia channel intentionally distorted the content to fit its political goals. It was not a coincidence that the documentary film was shown on the same evening as the harsh suppression of an opposition demonstration [the March of Those Who Disagree].”
It would seem there are two versions of the film, and there is a serious difference of opinion as to the veracity of the second version.
