Co wiemy o kobietach Lenina, Stalina, Mao, Ceaușescu, Che Guevary i Castro? Komunistyczni przywódcy byli postaciami co najmniej kontrowersyjnymi, ale nie brakowało im charyzmy, która przyciągała do nich tłumy kobiet. Czy decydowała o tym miłość, naiwna wiara w komunizm, wspólnota poglądów i ideałów? A może cyniczna kalkulacja? Czy życie u boku czerwonych wodzów przyniosło tym kobietom szczęście? Historia dowodzi, że w większości przypadków naznaczone było traumą i cierpieniem. Nie odstraszało to jednak potencjalnych kandydatek do roli partnerki komunistycznego wodza.

I tiden mellem de to verdenskrige spiller Skandinavien en hovedrolle for kommunistiske undergrundsaktiviteter med global rækkevidde. Med legale og illegale metoder dirigerer og kontrollerer magthaverne i Moskva den kamp, der skal udvide revolutionen i Rusland til intet mindre end en verdensrevolution. Fra Københavns små lejligheder over Stockholms smalle gader til det vindblæste Nordnorge eksisterer en underverden af mænd og kvinder, søfolk og akademikere, der målrettet arbejder på at forsvare Sovjetunionen og realisere deres ideal om en anden verden.

"Questa è una storia parziale e non ha la pretesa di ricostruire alla perfezione gli accadimenti storici. È una storia d'amore personale, a tratti assai stramba e picaresca, che però somiglia a quella di tanti altri. Una storia, quella del comunismo italiano, tanto forte da far tremare i polsi." Sergio Staino è uno dei più importanti vignettisti italiani.

At the start of the 20th century in China, the Hans were married in an elaborate ceremony before they were even born. While their future was arranged by their families, this couple had much to be grateful for. Not only did they come from similar backgrounds - and as such were recognized as a good match - they also had a shared passion in their deep love of ancient Chinese poetry. They went on to have nine children and chose colours portrayed in some of their favourite poems as nicknames for them - Red, Cyan, Orange, Yellow, Green, Ginger, Violet, Blue and Rainbow.

At the end of World War I, Canada was poised on the brink of social revolution. At least that is what many Canadians, inspired by the success of the Russian Revolution in 1917, hoped - and others dreaded. Seeing Reds tells the story of this turbulent period in Canadian history during the winter of 1918-19, when a fearful government led by Prime Minister Robert Borden tried to suppress radical political activity by branding legitimate labour leaders as "Bolsheviks" and "Reds".

The October Revolution happened in November 1917. Later Soviet propaganda 'proved' it was 'the will of the people', but few know that the brutal rebellion, which killed millions and raised Lenin's numerically tiny Bolshevik Party to power, was made possible by massive injections of German money laundered through a Swedish bank and a shady arms dealer who had made a fortune in the Balkan wars.
