Two childhoods

Overview

In 1943, a village in the Sverdlovsk region of Russia was one of the centers of formation of the Ural volunteer tank corps. The school № 30 was named after this corps. In 2014, schoolchildren prepare for the anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. Following today’s youngsters in the village, the camera speaks volumes about the mentality that has been passing down from generation to generation for the last 70 years and about the dark side of patriotism.
