Description
Summary:Investigates what made El'dar Riazanov's films so popular and what relationship that popularity had to Soviet policy. This book looks at how Riazanov's films relate to society, audience demand, and Soviet politics. In more than twenty love stories that have little to do with statecraft, Riazanov captures the inclusiveness of socialist culture.
