I’ve stumbled upon this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-xjudFxgBU&ab_channel=BadComedian It’s in russian, witch I don’t speak. It seems to be about a movie about red army soldiers during the great patriotic war. What is it about?

Watched this some time ago. BadComedian is a film reviewer. The video is split into two parts, first being a review of a film “Marie, Save Moscow”, and the second is about the narrative that is being promoted in RU mass media - Ivan Ilyin and Ivan Shmelyov are being shown in good light, “faith allows people to win”, and so on. The film is about, and I am serious here, how “cold blooded communist woman” becomes “faithful and kind” through ortodox christianity. English is hard, I will expand the comment later.
There are more movies like this. Movies that promote perversion of Great Patriotic War, USSR and nazism. BadComedian also reviewed these two films (this one has RU subtitles, you can enable translation to EN) which promote orthodox faith as an important factor for winning. The second one even has… SS officer shaking hand with Soviet soldier and in a different momet had said “I will not kill you brother”. Do I need to say how vile this all is? Oh, there is also a movie that is straight up pornographic. And, just to add a cherry on top, these films are actively promoted on state media, and sometimes are sponsored by “Cinema Fund of Russia”, which is spending tax money.
These movies are not about the Great Patriotic War.
edit: another one, with EN subtitles proper. I recommend watching it whole, but the moment at 17:25 should be enough to clarify what I mean by “perversion”.
