Soviet Cinema
Jamie Miller

When the Bolsheviks seized power in the Soviet Union during 1917, they used cinema as part of their strategy to convince the masses that the regime was legitimate and a bearer of historical truth. Miller analyses key films, from the classic musical Circus to the political epic The Great Citizen, and examines the Bolsheviks'ultimately unsuccessful attempts to develop a 'cinema for the millions'.
