I can see how some have said that the Soviet Union foundered in a lack of imagination. And yet it seems odd to have such a highly imaginative film that ultimately has such a thorough deconstruction of the imaginative character as a counter-productive burden and an unstable mind. Using imagination to produce counter-imaginative messages seems fairly peculiar and sort of explains the doublethink that came into play after Stalin took over.
I've heard about this film for many years, but have never seen it. Thank you for posting it!! Interesting, very anti-capitalist, very anti-monarchic, very good film. Almost the opposite of science fiction in a way, saying that it's "daydreaming" in a destructive way, which I think is somewhat true. Loved it!!

you fool. It is a truly socialist ending moral : don't dream, but do.
And there was no "slave-labour' to be done, well not yet. There was yet socialism to build ! To be done in joy and happiness.
But I doubt you may understand.

With an ending moral like that (don't strive for your dreams - there's slave-labour to be done!) no wonder the Soviets lost...
