Description
The Soviet film industry's creative control was more limited than often assumed. Maria Belodubrovskaya reveals that even under Stalin's regime, directors like Eisenstein and Pudovkin maintained significant artistic autonomy. Stalin saw cinema as a powerful tool for propaganda, but the industry remained stubbornly artisanal in its methods. This book explores how the Soviet film industry navigated the tension between creative freedom and state control. Belodubrovskaya's study sheds new light on the complex relationship between art and politics during this period.
