Summary:

"Stalinism and Soviet Cinema" marks the first attempt to confront systematically the role and influence of Stalin and Stalinism in the history and development of Soviet cinema. The editors of this collection have provided comprehensive coverage of the antecedents, role, and consequences of Stalinism and cinema, how Stalinism emerged, what the relationship was between the political leadership, film makers and their films and audiences, and how Soviet cinema is coming to terms with the disintegration of established structures and mythologies. Contributors from Britain, America, and the Soviet Union explore questions crucial not only to the history of Soviet cinema but to Soviet history as a whole, and the Stalinist legacy.
