"Through the Door" ("За дверью".) Short film by Yelena Demikovsky
A Russian family in America. Late one night, two sisters can't sleep. Through a bedroom door slightly ajar, they hear their parents arguing about unfamiliar things. Puzzled, the sisters try to interpret what they hear, and their imagination becomes their guide, protecting them.
Русская семья в Америке. Две сестренки не могут уснуть, слыша, как их родители спорят не на очень понятные темы. Дети стараются объяснить то, что непонятно, и воображение становится их гидом.

    In the 20ies and 30ies americans of all colours went to soviet union to flee the crisis after black friday. Soviets had no economy crisis in contrast but a joseph stalin crisis. Many americans ended up in gulags under suspect of being spies. Robinson who even wasnt a communist didnt really experience this horrible time of the jeshowtschina

    It's always about the women man...... I don't know why but immigrants always seek to marry the native women soooo badly and bring all sort of troubles to their community, African men being the top seeker of such arrangement by a light year I'm sure there were many other racial groups in Russia way before the Africans have arrived, and they still exist today as a distinct group of their own, but the African men have this unnatural fetish with none-African women as if they are running from the plague? I search "black Russians" hoping I can find this full documentary only to be flooded with videos on how to pick Russian girls if you're black or would Russian girls date black men, and all this other crap?! I don't know if it's the racial trauma or unhappiness in life, but I just don't like it

    The greatest story ever ! The first black Russian was Abram Petrovich Gannibal , great Russian statesman , was a Russian military engineer, general, and nobleman of African origin. Kidnapped as a child, Gannibal was taken to Russia and presented as a gift to Peter the Great, where he was freed, adopted and raised in the Emperor's court household as his godson. Gannibal eventually rose to become a prominent member of the imperial court in the reign of Peter's daughter Elizabeth. He had 11 children, most of whom became members of the Russian nobility; he was a great-grandfather of the author and poet Alexander Pushkin

    Just afterwards I started realizing that this is a confirmation of how sh*tty USA was and still is. I read about this migration before but actually seeing it is something else. While I was watching the video, the only thing I could think of is how good these folks would be as spies. Western countries will never see them coming. These spies could serve Matushka Russia very good.
