Long Knives Night is a documentary about the dramatic events in Belarus in the period when President Lukashenko made a coup and seized power in the country. Yet the film is not about Lukashenko. It is about the devilish nature of communist power. The author speculates upon the nature of evil, violence and groveling, upon the nature of Soviet power and its various aspects - philosophical, moral, sexual, legal, psychic etc. (One World)
