Life in Stalin's Gulags - Has Russia Forgotten?

11/24/2012

Picture
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Alexander Solzhenitsyn's classic novel, was published 50 years ago this month. A short, simply-told tale about a prisoner trying to survive the Gulag - the Soviet labour camp system - it is now regarded as one of the most significant books of the 20th Century. Yet according to a recent survey, 48% of Russians today believe that Stalin had a positive influence on their country. Only 22% consider it was negative. 

Has Russia forgotten the horrors of some of its soviet past? Read HERE to find out more.

For the next ten years, Look at Life chronicled - on high-grade 35mm colour film - the changing face of British society, industry and culture.This programme documents the changing role of women in the 1960s.

Origins of WWI Video

11/22/2012

0 Comments

 
Yesterday's featured document from the U.S. National Archives was President Wilson's address to Congress
calling for a declaration of war against Germany in 1917. Looking at the document got me to look at some of my bookmarks for World War I materials. In that search I came up with four short videos on the origins of WWI. Those videos are embedded below.

The first three videos above came from the channel History is Happening which contains some excellent videos for a wide range of topics in world history. The last video in the list came from All Histories which also
has a great collection of more than 300 history videos.

The BBC offers a
virtual tour of a World War I trench that some of my former students showed me a few years back because they enjoyed it. The BBC also has some short films about WWI. There are six films that
show students artifacts and images of a British soldier's life during WWI. The films are sequenced beginning with recruitment continuing on to life in the trenches and ending with information about injuries and shell shock. The BBC also offers an animation of army movements from 1914 through 1918.

Truman and the Cold War

Learn more about Truman and the Cold War from  this PBS documentary. Click the image or HERE to watch.

He was a farmer, a  businessman gone bankrupt, an unknown politician from Missouri who suddenly  found himself president. Of all the men who had held the highest office, Harry  Truman was the least prepared. But he would prove to be a surprise. Facing some  of the biggest crises of the century, Truman would end the war with Germany, use  the atomic bomb against Japan, confront an expanding Soviet Union and wage war  in Korea -- all while the woman he adored, his wife Bess, refused to stay in the White House and play the role of First Lady. The story of the unlikely rise of a  gritty American original.
