Animated Soviet Propaganda

[Psy]

On Google Video there is the fist part of the documentary Animated Soviet Propaganda. The link is below.

Soviet Propaganda Part 1 - American Imperialists (http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-1234912263171084410&q=soviet+propaganda)

I don't want to add this to the Leftist Google Videos (http://www.revolutionaryleft.com/index.php?showtopic=51063) as it is not leftist.

Anyway after watching the video I find this documentary on Soviet propaganda itself is propaganda. The documentary tries to paint US racism, unemployment and war mongering as Soviet Propaganda and baseless. The documentary doesn't even suggest the films might have some truth to them for example Vietnam war film, the US did bomb the people of Vietnam.

If anyone knows of a BitTorrent link for the rest of the documentary, please post it.

Yhea and that is my point, they talk in the documentary like these films are an example of the propaganda of the USSR yet the ones they picked have truth in them (except the anti-jazz one).

I think it's a good education film, I like how the guy in the beginning was talking about when the black people came to the USSR (I think it was in the 60's he said) they where so happy and they treated them better than white people because of what they had seen.

Interesting, lots of good images I had never seen.

The anti-Jazz one was a no no.

I found the complete documentary of Animated Soviet Propaganda (http://www.ifilm.com/collection/18349).

I have now watched all parts. I liked the shareholder film in Capitalists Sharks (Part 3) as it shows the western proletariat life style not being secure due their jobs not being secure.

I do have a problem with the documentary talking like us westerners are not use to such brainwashing propaganda, it ignores that the west has its own propaganda and it is far more successful then soviet propaganda ever was.

The Battleship Potemkin is some great propaganda. It is actually a very well made film.
