The fact that someone is willing to discuss it at all / consider the possibility is already a win for them. We should stop talking about anything that russia says. All of it is propaganda.

We asked 7 RUSSIAN people who saw it?

This is a great article by Kyiv Independent. It had seemed obvious that this would be a bad film, but it makes a big difference to hear directly from people who have seen it. It’s conclusive: the film is crap at best, propaganda at worst.
Major blunder for the Toronto Independent Film Festival. Embarrassment for Canada. Good that they realised it before more damage was done.

>**Is ‘Russians at War’ propaganda? We asked 7 people in film who saw it**
TL; DR:
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
(Read the piece though it has got a lot of great specific criticism, that helps to understand propaganda generally as well as this particular film.)

**Hate this headline**.
Even if the 7 people asked were informed, and were not Russian propagandists.
[Betteridge’s Law of Headlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines) – which a sizable chunk of your reader audience will assume at face value at any time and not proceed to read the article, states that if there was a question mark in the headline (or Reddit post title), **the answer is no**.
No matter if what’s behind the headline is sensible journalism or Kremlin drivel, **this headline broadcasts into the minds of a % of readers that this movie was not Russian propaganda**.
@OP, if you are part of fighting the good fight, take this the fuck down and repost with a better headline.
Let’s please stop doing damage.
If you oppose Russia – either frame the question the other way (Is this movie an innocent documentary? People will see the question mark and assume a no) or frame it as a statement without using a question mark (credible people asked claim this movie is not what it claims to be).

I hear her next film is a historical documentary on the plight of the poor beleaguered Wehrmacht soldiers during the 1939 invasion of Poland…

Anti-war film, filmed from the prospective of the people who started the war. Imagine a film following SS soldiers as they were marching into Poland making them out to be innocent victims.
