The Documentary, Scientific, and Military Films of the Soviet Union

Gregory L. Irsky

The documentary, scientific, and military films produced in the studios of USSR have one basic, main purpose—to show the Soviet people themselves, and the rest of the world as well, how the Soviet citizen is living and fighting; how, as a result of the war, factories and plants have been established in new localities; how the tempo of production has increased; and how the people have contributed and sacrificed to hasten the defeat of the enemy. And, despite the exigencies and demands of war, cultural, educational, and scientific films continue to be produced in greater numbers than before. The war has not hindered or stopped the cultural growth of the country.
