Since the mid-20th century, the world has only ever heard one side of an incredible story. The story of a boy from an ordinary family whose ambition was to become an artist, but who instead became a drifter.

Now for the first time, here is a documented account of a story many believe to be The Greatest Story NEVER Told!

Alexey Pivovarov and NTV channel present the documentary “June 22”. Fatal decisions, timed to the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
The film continues the military theme that Alexey Pivovarov has already developed in such films as "Second percussion. Vlasov's betrayed army", "Rzhev. Unknown Battle of Georgy Zhukov", "Brest. "Serf heroes". However, unlike previous projects, in this, in addition to recreated large-scale historical reconstructions and computer graphics, which allows, along with newsreels, better to imagine the events of those years, there are some features. The most important thing is that in the making of the film "June 22." Fatal decisions were also taken by German historians and journalists, whose views on the causes of the outbreak of the war may differ somewhat from those adopted in official Soviet history.
So how did the Soviet Union become completely unprepared for war on June 22, 1941? Is it true that Stalin believed Hitler and rejected any reports from Soviet intelligence, which was claimed to have given the exact date of the attack months before the war began? Authors of the film "June 22". Fatal decisions trace the whole chain of events that began in 1938, with the Munich Treaty, and led to the beginning of one of the bloodiest wars in world history.
The original documents of that era will be read in the film actor Mikhail Efremov. close
