Mikhail Solomatin: "The Right Cinema"

“In order for the citizen of Russia to feel his immense insignificance, the state conducts double propaganda: firstly, they directly or indirectly praise the military genius of Stalin-Zhukov, and secondly, they show films that degorize the victorious people. The first plot shows the viewer how he is petty and insignificant, the second is the same. The situation with “I Serve the Soviet Union” is exactly the opposite - there the object of deheroization was not the people, but the regime... after ten years of aggressive treatment with the theses “Russia is surrounded by enemies,” “only tough measures.” can save the nation,” etc., in our country, attacks on Beria will be perceived as “an insult to veterans” and “our historical memory”
