Firstly. Hello! This is my first post after joining this instance.

I have recently gotten into PROPERLY studying Marxism and Communism. Unfortunately every time I try to watch something now I just see it as western capitalist propaganda. The new Tetris movie for instance shows Russia as grey and awful. I’m looking for something different.

Any good films made during the Soviet Union that you would recommend?

Didn’t mean to be rude, sorry. Anyway, for comedy I would suggest movies with Alexander Demyanenko, such as Operation Y, Prisoner of Caucasus and Ivan Vasylievich Changes Profession.

For action-adventure I would suggest The Elusive Avengers and its sequels (not to be confused with capeshit avengers). Plus the White Sun of the Desert, which could be classified as an “Eastern western”.

The only good soviet horror I can think of is Viy. Never been much into horror, so can’t help much.

You weren’t rude at all! Thank you for the suggestions, they all look good, adding to my watch list.
