Ukraine on Fire

Almost everyone interviewed is on the Russian side of the fence and talks from Russian point of view. Oliver Stone should have at least attempted to get more balanced perspectives of what he described as a complex issue. The film makes some very serious allegations without shred of evidence. This gives it credibility of a facebook post. OS is diminished by such a weak and naïve portrayal.

I just watched the film out of curiosity. I counted more than 20 faulty historical facts, and then stopped counting, cause it became too tedious. I should say these are pretty well masked, and if you don't work with primary sources of information, it's easy to gulp this bullshit like a burger stuck between two soft buns of "professional journalism". Apart from pure lie, it contains a range of very biased opinions. Here's the thing, if you only question one side, it cannot be anything else but one-sided. Only one good point raised, and this is an ethical question - whether democratically elected government can be challenged by their electors. My personal opinion is that it can, since politicians tend to get into power using all sorts of deceit. You're free to decide for yourself. Wishing Ukraine to live up to its democratic aspirations.

I'm Ukrainain and part of the events in Kyiv in 2014. This film is complete BS and in fact another angle of the Russian's attack on Ukraine's sovereignty. Don't waste your time unless you want to be brainwashed by another KGB propagandistic film.

Another example of how a talented director may be transformed to a dictator's servant. The movie shows all lies of Soviet propaganda resurrected by Putin's authoritarian regime. The history of Ukraine is described exactly as Putin's wants people to see it: immature nation supporting Nazis, the only hope is to return to Big brother hands. The movie contains comments mostly from Russians or from the former Ukrainin officials who escaped to Putin after the Revolution of Dignity. The idea to ask the opposite side never came to the authors.

Cut and paste montage work. Only interviews with those who supported the narrative. Including Vladimir himself. No historians. No experts on Eastern Europe. Supposedly Ukraine's Euro Maidan was both taken over by fascist and backed by extreme leftist George Soros. Poor Oliver Stone just seems like ghost here. This is no objective attempt at understanding. And the director is a known propagandist. Don't trust this at all. Especially now. Grade A propaganda.

This, so-called 'documentary', is a product of Putin's propaganda, aimed to rewrite the story of Ukrainian heroes, who fought against corrupted and criminal president and his criminal gang. Attention, some spoilers below! The movie shows only pro-Yanukovich side, describing him as a victim of some political intrigues, however, the truth is in the fact, the revolution was a result of his absolutely criminal, corrupted power, and started as a protest to police's actions, when riot police in absolutely awful way drubbed peaceful students' manifestation. This product of Kremlin's propaganda is in line with today's 'post-truth' world when deceitful propaganda defines the policy of nations and results of the elections

Unrealistic far away from real facts. Manipulations on events in Ukraine The creators aren't from Ukraine and haven't been here during the described events The one sided illustration of events. Shame of journalism Hopefully the director won't get any more funds to create such pieces This film is a piece of propaganda and wouldn't stand fact checking so it should be removed from the documentary part of the site. Moreover I wouldn't recommend watching this film to people who actually have been present at the revolutionary days in Ukraine because the way everything is illustrated here will insult their dignity and beliefs. To sum up this film isn't worth anyone's attention.
