The war didnt break out in 2022. Russia launched in 2022 a full-scale invasion into Ukraine which has been planned and prepared and didnt happen like a neutral "outbreak". The war of Russia against Ukraine started in 2014
I really enjoyed the article and explanation of the context for the film, despite being less moved/impressed by the film itself. The film, however, is beautifully filmed & the set design was really good.

"what the Hungarian population learnt from 1956 was to be scared of the Russians as resistance is hopeless"
This is so true. It was a very bitter pill to see how so many Hungarians instinctively seeked to appease the aggressor in 2022
