Really!?

No one can understand what the Russians are fussing over. It's a harmless Hollywood film after all. Never mind that it's not quite accurate. Or that it was actually the Nazis who were searching for mystical artifacts.

Imagine if a film was made about the SS running around in Tibet in search of Aryan ancestry or of Andrew Jackson whipping his slaves.

Incidentally, those last two are real. Perhaps Hollywood feels these issues are too much for moviegoers to digest. Still, someone of Mr Spielberg's moral character should hardly have a problem with the complex themes of these subjects.
