Comparison with The Conformist false[edit]

This film is not "reminiscent of Bertolucci's equally disturbing portrait of the fascist killer in The Conformist". The Conformist does not feature a mass murderer, and as the name implies the film is about someone trying to fit in. The Chekist is without parallel - there is no other film about a mass killer. The closest comparisons would be with films about such creatures as Ted Bundy.Royalcourtier (talk) 23:58, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Our article can only include analysis from a reliable source so to remove the quote as is currently stands, we have to deem cinemaparallel.com not reliable or find other reliable source(s) that can justify the removal of the quote. Lklundin (talk) 19:03, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ted Bundy - a psychopath who enjoyed killing. These people are doing their work, one hangs at the beginning of the film, the other goes mad at the end, and everyone drinks. It seems that they like it?

Book[edit]

Please add the article: this film is an adaptation of novel written by Vladimir Zazubrin, a contemporary of the events (he was shot in 1937).
