It's self-explanatory, we always hear about the Nazis and World War II, well, this is about the Soviet/Stalinist takeover of Lithuania and deporting whole families or even, whole communities (ex. Chechens) to Siberian labor camps. Looks excellent, I'll have to see if there is a way to see it soon.

This really ties into that movie though to be fair, I believe if one ever looks at powers allied with the Axis powers, Estonia is listed. I'm not sure about Lithuania, I think not.
