This book explores how Soviet film worked with time, the past, and
memory. It looks at Stalinist cinema and its role in the production
of history, the conversion of the present and experience into
history, mechanisms of transfer, and what is located between
history and the past. The representation of history is always the
representation of power. The institution of legitimization and the
mechanism for the production of identity, history is the past,
constructed and served by the authorities who are attempting to
curtail the experience by packaging it into a literary narrative
and new visual imagery. Cinema's role in the legitimization of
Stalinism and the production of a new Soviet identity was enormous.
Both Lenin and Stalin saw in this 'most important of arts' the most
effective form of propaganda and 'organisation of the masses'. By
examining the works of the greatest Soviet filmmakers of the Stalin
era -- Sergei Eisenstein, Vsevolod Pudovkin, Grigorii Kozintsev,
Leonid Trauberg, Fridrikh Ermler, Mark Donskoi, Mikhail Romm -- the
author explores the role of the cinema in the formation of the
Soviet political imagination.Key Features *The first study of
Stalinist cinema, which fills a gap in the history of Soviet film.
*Covers the works of great Soviet film directors. *Focuses on
Stalinist political imagination, one of the most understudied
aspects of Stalinism.
