Animated Soviet Propaganda - American Imperialist: Black and White

1933, directed by I. Ivanov-Vano and L. Amalrik. Mezrabpomfilm.

Eighty-nine years after the Bolshevik October Revolution (and 16 years after its collapse), Films by Jove is releasing a 4-DVD set called Animated Soviet Propaganda. The set is based on 4 dozen rarely seen shorts produced by Soviet government agency Soyuzdetmultfilm from 1924 to 1984. Films by Jove acquired the rights to these shorts in 1992 and has since then digitally restored approximately 50 hours of film.
Since these animated movies were intended to win the hearts and minds of the Russian people, all of them have a strong anti-American, anti-German, anti-British, anti-Japanese, anti-Capitalist, anti-Imperialist, and pro-Communist slant. Many of them also feature anti-Semitic and other racist images. There is approximately two hours of documentary and six hours of animated films.

where's the propaganda?

[treehousewizkid]

To those agreeing with this animation, either due to a positive outlook on the Soviet Union and/or negative outlook on American society, it's beside the point. Any time a government tells its population how to feel, especially towards another people, it's a sign of something being seriously fucked up with your government. Truthfully, in an ideal society, it's not even their job to inform. This is the job of a free press.

The Gulags were maintained by the NKVD, not Stalin. The Purges were run by the NKVD, not Stalin. The highest level of authority in the USSR was in the Supreme Soviet, and its President Mikhail Kalinin, not Stalin.

What was Stalin? He was the General Secretary of the CPSU, which isn't even a government position.

You Westerners have no idea what your talking about when you bring up Stalin, as for us, we understand how the government was run.

@havee3333333 Ahahaha..the bolsheviks helped themselves to other peoples cars and homes and property..a western government buys thsi with tax-money....and Stalin had a clear idea how to finance and adminstrate his empire..Gulag and its suffering and the purges where no coincidence or mistake..he(Stalin) knew what was going on..as for this propaganda, there were poor workers in the southern US in the 1930 and still is..and they are mostly christians.

@dangar45 Educational system?? for those that qualified, most important what ancestors you had(classsociety)..and even with good education, livingstandards for soviet citizens were abysmal..."komunalka"-apartmen­ts,sharing eveything, lack of basic goods...western people had a much better standard of living..thats why the USSR was so secretive..it had to conceal this to its own population.

The Rolls-Royce was a state owned vehicle meant for the transportation of high ranking soviet officials. You may say that is unfair, but every world leader did it.

Contrary to popular believe, Stalin didn't arrange transportation to Gulags or people to death. Much of that was done by the NKVD, Justices system, or other levels of Bureaucracy.

Stalin was too busy to deal with trivial affairs, although he took some interest during the Great Purge.

when these videos were released...minorities were not EVEN CITIZENS YET in the USA. Why do you think the 60's genuinely presented the threat of political revolution. It was in fact and considered as such by the USA governing military complex that a communist revolution was in the midst of the american society
