'Between Hitler and Stalin' to air in Ukraine

by Oksana Zakydalsky

TORONTO - The Ukrainian Canadian Research and Documentation Center (UCRDC) has been successful in making arrangements to premiere its film "Between Hitler and Stalin - Ukraine in WWII" by Slavko Nowytski in Ukraine before the official commemorations of the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II begin.

The premiere of the film was to be held in Kyiv at the KINO film theatre on April 18. The showing of the Ukrainian-language version of the film is an invitation event for 500 persons, and is being organized by the Kyiv Memorial Society under the direction of Roman Krutsyk, a collaborator in the production of the film.

As well, the film is scheduled for Ukrainian television broadcast on May 3 on the national network UT-1, where it will air together with a discussion panel. Representing the UCRDC on the panel will be historian and advisor to the film, Professor Roman Serbyn from Montreal, who is well known for his challenges of the official Soviet version of World War II as the Great Fatherland War (Velyka Vitchyzniana Viyna) - still the most widely accepted interpretation of the conflict in Ukraine.
