Biased article

@Gunnar.Kaestle I tried to edit this page but someone told me that I can't because I don't have enough edits to work on this topic. So I'm using this talk page. The introduction is misleading, only mentioning his "colorizing career". He's mainly famous for his controversial films about Ukraine and authoritarian leaders.
Look at the sources or even look at his posts on social media if you're not convinced. Lopatonok isn't a simple, honest, film director. He's consistently repeating Russian propaganda about Ukraine. DarkVador79-UA (talk) 17:01, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

"He is known for his work in colorization and 3D conversion and as a documentary filmmaker." I believe that statement in the introduction is ok. And the discussion about who is repeating Russian propaganda and who is supporting NATO cognitive warfare is way beyond the objective of this article, especially if the claim "That's propaganda!" is mainly used for pejorative purposes.

As far as I know, good propaganda does not tell lies, as lies can easily proven wrong, but tells only parts of the truth. Imho, that was the successful strategy which was applied by Ivy Lee to polish the PR image of the Rockefellers after the Ludlow Massacre. Gunnar (talk) 18:34, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

The first words are "Pro-Kremlin U.S. Filmmaker". I find it really clear, and the whole article shows very well the extent of his views. Please don't fall to the eternal relativism about this topic. DarkVador79-UA (talk) 18:55, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

@Gunnar.Kaestle If you don't want to answer, at least try to bring here other editors. In the meantime, I put my edit back in place. DarkVador79-UA (talk) 21:49, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
