Part 2 of the 1962 documentary “The Truth About Communism” continues its explanation of the terror presented by the Soviet Union and its ideology. Narrated by Ronald Reagan (who as United States President nearly 30 years after this film would influence the fall of Communism), the picture opens in Czechoslovakia where democratic elements, led by President Edvard Benes, hoped the Soviet Union would allow Czechoslovakia the freedom to choose its own form of government and aspired to a Czechoslovakia that would act as a bridge between East and West. Communist leaders pushed for a coalition government instead, with Klement Gottwald as prime minister, and in 1948 took power. To divert attention, Reagan explains Stalin ordered violent protests in Colombia (mark 02:25) with riots killing 1,000 people and destroying more than 100 buildings. Stalin then blocks access routes into Berlin, Germany (mark 02:55) leading to the Berlin airlift (mark 03:15). In June 1950, with Stalin’s prompting, North Korea and South Korea go to war (mark 07:50) as battle scenes flood the screen before a truce is declared in 1953. The film returns to the Kremlin at mark 09:20 and an explanation of how Stalin executed hundreds of Jewish doctors and leaders after accusing them of conspiracy and espionage. His purge continues until news of the Soviet leader’s March 1953 death as the headline “Stroke Fells Stalin” flashes onto the screen at mark 10:08. “The end of a tyrant,” Reagan says. • We then follow Khrushchev’s sudden rise to power as secretary-general of the Soviet Union (mark 12:35) as he staffs key positions with his own followers and at mark 13:10 is shown delievering his de-Stalinization speech (a process of political reform in the Soviet Union consisting of changing or removing key institutions that helped Stalin hold power). There are scenes from the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 starting at mark 15:27 and the subsequent Soviet response (mark 20:20). Reagan discusses the role of propaganda in the spread of Communism and reminds the viewer of Chairman Mao’s prediction that war with the West is inevitable (mark 26:35). As it winds down, we see scenes of President Dwight D. Eisenhower being protested during a visit in Uruguay (mark 30:32) and Vice President Richard Nixon being protested by Communists in Venezuela (mark 30:42). As more scenes of violence fill the screen, it nears its end with the construction of Berlin Wall (mark 31:35) — as people desperately flee through the barbed wire. • We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
