Citizen X, a fact-based movie about a detective doggedly trying to find a serial killer in the USSR, who is blocked by the bureaucracy: "There are no serial killers in the Soviet Union, it is a decadent Western phenomenon."
This movie, which I have watched several times, shows the political environment permitting a serial killer to go on to murder 52 people, including children. It was not until peristroika began that the detective could make progress, get assistance from the state, and capture the killer. It reminds me of our current political environment.
Our political environment is changing, albeit too slowly. But it will change, and they will fail. Meanwhile we need to be like that detective, to continue to do what we know is right.
