This is the most reliable data source for accurate ethnic breakdowns of famous people. Often the information is crowdsourced by users and they cite all their sources (family trees, obituaries, census archives, etc.) on the bottom of the page. The only issue is converting their ambiguous and inconsistent verdicts into quantifiable variables.

Notes
If there were any inconsistencies with percentages calculated using our Census data, the Jewish Data Bank percentages were the ones used. Also please review the Jewish Data Bank pdf to understand the difference between the "Core" Jewish population and the "Extended" / "Law of Return" Jewish populations. We are displaying the "Core" Jewish populations since that is what the Jewish Data Bank and Wikipedia articles chose.

Also, the 1942 population estimates were used for the 1940 row. For the 2000 estimates, the "Core" definition was not used, so we used the 5.2 mil broader estimate instead of the 4.3 mil estimate since the 5.2 broader estimate seemed too drastic of a drop and the definitions weren't congruent with Core and Law of Return.

Message
0/5

There's no moral here; everyone is after power at any cost. People are sometimes depicted at their ugliest, and even when characters get their comeuppance, it's not exactly for what you might call "the right reasons." Certainly not everyone who's guilty of the horrors of the time pays a price.

Role model
0/5

The main characters are political schemers and often actual mass murderers from history who are jockeying for power. Perhaps the closest to a hero/heroine would be a minor character who lost her family to Stalin's purges and is flatly willing to die for the honor of spitting in his face. But she's a ripple in an ocean of killers, backstabbers, and opportunists -- all fascinating, but hardly role models.

Violence
3/5

Frequent violence that's core to telling this story about the time of the Soviet Great Terror, when the wrong word in the wrong ear could get a person (and their family) killed. Many executions shown, marching citizens are fired upon, torture is shown lightly, and rape is strongly implied -- including of young girls/children (not shown, but set up offscreen and described). The violence isn't glamorized or played for laughs, and only in a few cases is it graphic. But its specter is a constant presence in the film.

Sex
1/5

Sex acts are discussed in the context of frequent coercion by those in power. Healthy sexuality is not present.

Language
4/5

Frequent strong language, including "f--k" and variants, plus "s--t," "c--k," "c--t," "ass," and crude descriptions of sex acts.

Drugs
1/5

One character is a lush; his drinking is portrayed comically and negatively.
