Communist Voice premiering on Durham Community Media Monday

Starting next week, the Communist Voice series is coming to Durham Community Media (cable channel 18) at the same time it is on The Peoples Channel (channel 8 in Orange County and parts of Chatham, www.thepeopleschannel.org), Monday afternoons at 4. The new episode starting Monday, after being delayed by technical problems, is Part 1 of Felix Dzherzhinsky: Champion of the Revolution. Dzherzhinsky was a leader of a Polish-Lithuanian socialist party separate from the Bolsheviks and he led the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission (the Cheka), which fought sabotage and counterrevolutionary plots in the early years after the Russian Revolution.

Let me know if you want to sponsor the series so it can be broadcast in Raleigh or elsewhere, or have an idea for future programming. Non-Soviet videos will probably start this fall.

US Friends of the Soviet People is seeking volunteers in the New York area and money and material contributions to digitize and distribute an archive of around 300 Soviet films in Russian with subtitles.
