Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, monuments to the Red Army's World War II victory have been coming down across Eastern Europe, and this film asks what that erasure costs and who benefits from it. It travels to Ukraine, the Baltic states, and Berlin, talking to historians, activists, and residents on both sides of the argument. Some see the statues as tributes to soldiers who died defeating fascism and worry that tearing them down plays directly into Kremlin propaganda, which casts today's war as a continuation of that same fight. Others, especially in countries that lived under decades of Soviet rule, view the same bronze figures as monuments to occupation and imperial domination, not liberation. The film lingers on Germany's own contested Soviet memorials, some of which are being restored even as criticism grows louder. Interviews carry the argument rather than narration passing judgment, leaving viewers with competing, well-argued claims about who gets to decide what a monument means once the empire that built it is gone.
