Interesting document about the history of communism, more specifically about the infiltration of communism in other countries. This is done however rather poorly, by a series of talking heads. But what makes this amusing is that the talking heads are suppose to be Russian, but are played by western actors, some with hideous make up. Most notably the guy supposed to be Joseph Stalin. All in all a pretty boring sit through.
