But also today, next door, Russian tanks & bombs kill Ukrainians under the cynical guise of "de-nazification" to stop them turning West. Slovakia's government is again a pawn of Russian totalitarianism, cloaked in new ideology, but playing the same game of controlling & destroying people's lives.

It's a meaningful vindication: nearly a lifetime later, art, individual freedom and democracy are triumphant over totalitarianism.

That movie, which my father acted in and helped write, was chosen as the best Slovak film of the century three years ago, and today was shown in the central plaza in Bratislava to commemorate the anniversary of the invasion.

A movie, called 322, was being filmed at the time in Bratislava, about the absurdity of the lives everyday people were subjected to at the time. It wasn't about Communism, but just the fact that it held up a mirror to an unfree society was enough for it to be banned.
