Words of War
In a world silenced by fear, her truth was unstoppable.
World-renowned journalist and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya went from being a local print journalist to braving the Chechen killing fields and exposing Russian state corruption under Vladimir Putin. She refused to give up reporting on the war in Chechnya despite numerous acts of intimidation and violence, including being poisoned. She was ultimately murdered in the elevator of her block of flats and it remains unclear who paid for the contract killing.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but it's going to be a difficult one to rate in terms of politics... I am right-wing but I totally oppose Russia's policies, and I consider Putin one of the biggest scumbags of this era: this however seems to be an opinion of the entire Western left. Pretty much the ONLY thing I agree with them on...
So if a movie is anti-Russian is it liberal, left-wing?... Definitely not, especially because Putin is neither left nor right, he is a typical opportunist who misuses whatever bits he can find in various ideologies. A former communist, mind you, and certainly his centrist dictatorship has a lot more in common with the Far Left than anything else. Russia is essentially run with a nationalist-socialist system, much like Hitler's Germany was. It's a combination of the Far Left and the Far Right.
Whether the movie has any Western liberal propaganda, I don't know. But if it's only focused on Putin then it should get a 0 out of 5 on the political Lefty scale.
