Babi Yar in 1941
Babi Yar in 1941
  • ... that the documentary Babi Yar. Context shows long-unseen footage of buildings in central Kyiv being bombed by the Soviets, by remote control, after the Nazi occupation began? Source: https://europeanfilmawards.eu/en_EN/film/babi-yar-context.19560 "Some of the footage I work with has been buried in the archives for decades – nobody has ever seen it. Not even historians, specialising in the Holocaust in the USSR. One such episode is the explosions of Kreschatik in September 1941. Kiev’s central street was mined with remote controlled explosives by the NKVD (Soviet secret service) before the Red army had retreated from Kiev. The detonations of the explosives were carried out a few days after the Germans took the city."

ALT1 ... that the documentary Babi Yar. Context shows long-unseen footage of buildings in central Kyiv being destroyed by remotely detonated mines after the Nazi occupation began?
ALT1 is largely the same hook fact but without the potential aircraft implication. Radzy0 (talk) 03:50, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Slightly shorter and including the actors:
  • ALT2 ... that the documentary Babi Yar. Context shows footage of the destruction of buildings in Nazi-occupied Kyiv by remotely detonated Soviet mines?
Can probably still be improved. —Kusma (talk) 10:05, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Kusma just saw your note. How about:

  • New enough, long enough, policy compliant, QPQ done. Earwig only picks up attributed quotes that are fine in the context. ALT1 and ALT3 are interesting and cited, I am happy to approve them both. (Can't approve ALT2 as I suggested it, and I do not approve ALT0 as unintentionally misleading). Kusma (talk) 13:37, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    PS I suggest not to include the image, as it isn't too connected to the hook. —Kusma (talk) 13:39, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Archival footage

[edit]

Does anyone know where the footage of the postwar events was/is currently held? (And if it's available to the public and/or presented with English-language subtitles for more than just what was shown in the film?)

Also why did he not show any footage of the massacre itself? Was this an artistic decision or is there no extant footage?
