Soviet movie-makers make film about Britain of 80-s
4 January 2010
According to opinion of western people, Soviet Union was absolutely totalitarian regime where everything was under propaganda, red dictatorship, etc. But at the same time there was great movie industry. Just look, how Soviet movie-makers show Britain, and they do not position British people or country as something negative, but would Americans or British make movie where events are happening in Soviet Union of 80-s or 70-s forgetting about Cold War realities, and just concentrating on art itself? By the way, one of comments was about Perestroika beginning. Actually 1983 year had nothing common with Perestoika because Perestroika begun in 1985, while in 1983 USSR was ruled by KGB man Yuri Andropov, and Gorbachev came to power only in 1985 March.
