Talking about his father being a broken man after the WW2 was moving. Any mother or father who listened and didn't think about their sons who might have to fight in this war and come home either as a corpse or as a broken individual both physically and psychologically would have to be almost cult-like in their adherence to the state propaganda.

The part about the Soviet era weight lifter -- this was spot on.

Hopefully, it will really move the needle in Russia.
