Soviet videos on The Peoples Channel

Monday afternoon (unless the tentative scheduling was changed) Chronicle of October - 1917, a dubbed half hour video on the Great October Socialist Revolution will be on The Peoples Channel.  The anniversary of the beginning of the socialist stage of the Russian Revolution is November 7th (it was October 25th under the calendar Russia used at the time, thus the name).  I'm working to arrange a dedicated slot on cable access in Orange and Durham counties to air historical and cultural documentaries donated by the US Friends of the Soviet People (www.northstarcompass.org/US_friends.html) and videos on current events, depending on technical issues and copyright, starting in November.  This puts the communist view out there (though it should be noted that the views expressed aren't necessarily mine), and the videos have retro historical or ethnographic value.  If you have a video that might fit, drop me a line.      

 

If you are in New York City, the national USFSP branch is meeting November 6th, with guest speaker Thomas Kenny, who wrote Socialism Betrayed with Roger Keeran.
