    My biggest criticism with this whole series it total lack of context. It never talks about animated propaganda in comparison with other countries (capitalist countries). There where animated cartoons in the 30s 40s and 50s talking about flying cars, and consumerism and the superiority of capitalism. But its obvious this series has political motives...



    Secondly, that animation "expert" with the heavy russian accent featured in all the series, talks about the purges of the 1930s like he lived through them, saying we did this, we suffered that, we saw this. He is obviosly not old enough to have lived through that time. Secondly, while the series continuelly criticizes soviet society, it makes no comparison with the situation today in the former soviet union (which is markedly inferior to the Soviet standard of living). The end scene plays truimphed music as it displays the USSR collapsed in 1991, not taking into account the absolutely terrible situation of average people, and the enormous suffering that it caused and still causes to this day...interesting...

Description: Part 4 of 4 of the Documentary "Animated Soviet Propaganda" From 1924 to perestroika the USSR produced more than 4 dozen animated propaganda films. They weren't for export. Their target was the new nation and their goal was to win over the hearts and minds of the Soviet people. Anti-American, Anti-British, Anti-German, Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Fascist, some of these films are as artistically beautiful as the great political posters made after the 1917 revolution which inspired Soviet animation. A unique series. With a unique perspective. Includes interviews with the directors of the animated films which are still alive and commentary by a leading Soviet film scholar. Two hours of documentary and six hours of animated films:
