Koursk, un sous-marin en eaux troubles

Although we may never know the truth about the Kursk (and this documentary is no exception), remembering how things work in Russia is very necessary these days. On the one hand, Russia would like to be classified as a developed country in the eyes of the West; on the other hand, no one can overlook the systematic violation of human rights, the consolidation of the regime under the leadership of former KGB agent Putin and the absolutely elementary lack of respect for human life. To trade a few dozen young lives for the secrecy of some bogus military secret – how can that be even possible? No problem at all in Russia. (25.01.2006)
