Synopsis
Almost 30 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union the regalia and strong
man rhetoric of the totalitarian era are making a comeback. Could the rise be
aided by the remnants of totalitarian servility in our own heads? The director
of the film Ivo Briedis and journalist Rita RuduĊĦa, both born in the USSR, are
going on a journey to explore the phenomenon of HOMO SOVIETICUS and
to discover whether a human being of the totalitarian mindset has specific
geographical boundaries.
