Overview:

"The July Storms" is a dialogue about the first mass protests in Soviet Ukraine in a long time. The two parts of the dilogy "Strike" and "Outburst" are devoted to two unprecedented waves of miners' strikes in Donetsk in 1989 and 1990, respectively. Several hundred thousand miners took part in these historic strikes. The events themselves became an important factor in the history of the region of the Soviet communist system.
