Chronicles of October - 1917 has been showing since November, but the series overall now has a name and a Soviet program on the WWII liberation of what is now Belarus airs this month (Mondays, 4-4:30pm), starting this afternoon. This film uses archival footage, both Soviet and German, and unlike World War II in HD Colour, a European series currently airing on UNC TV, this obviously doesn't minimize the decisive role of the USSR in defeating the fascist powers, blame the USSR for the start of WWII in Europe and the Cold War, or attempt to equate fascist Germany and the USSR. A documentary on the Russian/Soviet writer and playwright Maxim Gorky will air in January, but it had to be cut slightly to fit the time slot.
