Russian Communist Party members condemned the new "Indiana Jones" film . . . as crude, anti-Soviet propaganda that distorts history and called for it to be banned from Russian screens.

Saw it first hand. lived in Poland in 1962-65.
Our own schools are doing revisionist history, but not nearly to this extent.
BTW, when was the last time we saw a Blockbuster Russian (or Soviet) film?
Gosh, but I love Capitalism!

Wait a minute. So, someone from Russia thinks that Natasha Fatale of Boris and Natasha from the Bullwinkle shop is real? They probably think the movies George Clooney makes are true to life also.
