Finland Fights
FINLAND FIGHTS! was released theatrically as a sound film in 1940 by Emerson Yorke, an independent producer in New York, in cooperation with Castle Films. The footage shown was originally material assembled for an humanitarian reel, made on behalf of the Finnish Relief Fund, so that American audiences could see how Finland was withstanding Russian invasion. The original theatrical release was only five minutes long, but Eugene Castle brought it up to standard one reel length and released it as a silent film with title cards. The film is one of the rarer Castle titles, because the Soviets and Stalin — who are condemned here as aggressors — became U.S. allies in WWII after the German invasion of Russia.

Russia and the coming Holocuast
This 1981 film, made while the Russian military occupied Afghanistan, puts forth the proposition that world is on the brink of a nuclear holocaust, the inevitable outcome of the tensions fostered between the two superpowers. The history of Russia from the overthrow of the Czar to the rise of Marxism and Communism is recounted. Doctrine stressing the welfare of the State over individual rights, and essentially banning religion, is brainwashed into the populace from an early age. With the defeat of Hitler's legions, the mighty Russian Bear became a superpower, and began to look ever outward in an insatiable desire for expansion. At the center of the Soviet philosophy is the belief in the inevitability of world domination. With East and West opposing one another at every flash point, armed with enough firepower to incinerate life on earth many times over, a Nuclear Armageddon may be unavoidable.
