Revue

A collection of Soviet propaganda videos from the 50s and 60s; much heavier on extended, fairly dour footage of steel workers and farmers going about their labours than on colourfully kitsch song-and-dance celebrations of communism (even allowing that it was all in black and white), but pretty interesting nonetheless. Some great, characterful Russian faces, too.
