    Stalin executed many of the intellectuals and artists in Russia.
    Were any film makers shot?

    How free is Russia? Very! Unless you express a different opinion!

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/11/23/russia-puts-kremlin-critic-ilya-yashin-on-trial
    "A court in Moscow has begun the trial of Russian opposition politician Ilya Yashin, who faces up to 10 years in prison for denouncing the war in Ukraine.

    The trial against Yashin, a 39-year-old Moscow city councillor, begins during an unprecedented crackdown on dissent in Russia, most of whose opposition activists are either in jail or exile."

    "Nearly all of Putin’s well-known political opponents have either fled the country or are in jail."

    LOL!

    Russia is a third world authoritarian **** hole.

    There was total censorship at all stages of film shooting and film release under Stalin. Very few Soviet films were produced under Stalin, and the display of foreign films was almost prohibited. Therefore, Stalin did not need to shoot of film directors, but Stalin shot 2 of 4 ministers in cinematography, because these ministers were organized censorship of films. Stalin personally watched all new films, Stalin gave consent on the display of each new film or forbade of this film. The film director was presented with two contradictory tasks:
    Propaganda of Communist Party politics.
    It was necessary to ensure that a large number of viewers voluntarily came to the cinema and paid their own money to watch these films.
    Few film directors managed to complete these two conflicting tasks at the same time. Therefore, there were few such films and such film directors. Only 7 new films were released in the USSR in 1951.
    There are only a few films that have successfully completed these two tasks "Circus" (1936, film director Grigory Alexandrov and artist Lyubov Orlova), "Kuban Cossacks" (1949, film director Ivan Pyryev and artist Marina Ladynina), "Alexander Nevsky" (1938, film director Sergei Eisenstein and artist Nikolai Cherkasov), "Funny Guys" (1934, film director Grigory Alexandrov, artist Lyubov Orlova and singer Leonid Utesov), "Chapaev" (1934, film directors - Sergey and Georgy Vasiliev, artist Boris Babochkin), "Tractor Drivers" (1939, film director Ivan Pyryev, artists - Nikolai Kryuchkov and Marina Ladynina). "Heavenly Slug" (1945, artist Nikolai Kryuchkov).

    Russia is at war with Ukraine and the West, therefore authoritarian power is necessary in Russia. Ilya Yashin is a traitor who criticizes the Russian army for American intelligence money. His place is abroad or in prison.

    It's not a war. It's a "special military operation" Careful with your wording or you will be sent to the gulag, fella.

    This armed conflict with Ukraine in February 2022 began as a special military operation, but due to military and economic assistance from the West to Ukraine, this conflict escalated into a full-scale war, especially after the start of partial mobilization in Russia in September. The entire Russian people rallied around their president. All traitors have either fled the country, or will be sent to prison and it is fairly.

    It has not been labelled a war and is still considered a special military operation. You are not inline with the Kremlin. Enjoy your stay at the gulag.

    We do not put in prison of patriots, we put traitors in prison. 11 Russian prisoners of war were shot in Ukraine. This was taught to Ukrainians by American advisers. The American press justifies of the Ukrainian executioners or silences this fact. The Russians will take revenge on these executioners, the executioners Arthur Bortnichuk and Nazar Mikhailovsky will be destroyed.

    And yet we still can safely consider Russia an authoritarian, controlling dictatorship style **** hole.

    ;)

    Enjoy your no freedoms! Make sure you agree whole heartidly with the Kremlin fella. If you ever should develop free will and thought, I'd do your best to hide that or you will find yourself in prison as well!

    It is better to live in a country controlled by a strong leader than in country controlled by an elderly weak marasmatist. I walk around the edge all my life and I don't afraid of anything, even prison, and I will never be a traitor to my homeland, even in exchange for money of American intelligence. And stop repeating the same thing, otherwise you become like Gennady Zyuganov, who stigmatizes the anti-people regime all his life and Gennady Zyuganov does not listen to the arguments of opponents. Gennady Zyuganov simply repeats the same thing as a stupid parrot.

    Armenia relied on the CSTO (aka Russia) to keep Azerbaijan in line. During the recent flare up, they asked for Russian help, but received nothing, as Russia has no forces to send, what with them all getting slaughtered.
    Armenia now knows CSTO and Russia is a busted flush.....a failing nation

    We can vote out our leaders every 4 years. Russia? Not so much. Hence freedom and democracy.

    Like I said. You better stay 100 percent thought inline with the Kremlin fella. Or you go to jail in putins Russia.

    Thats why your a shithole country.

    having a strong leader is a good thing...having a stupid one.....well....good luck with that....:D....
    Pretty much like having been told you had a strong military which must have been a great source of national pride, that is until it started fighting....ooops....remember how the VDV looked outstanding during ZAPAD? That was until they went into action and fell apart. The VVS with all their shiny planes that have cost Russians a fortune and where are they....grounded with no spares and no equipment? Snake island was a very strategic position; commanding the access to the Ukrainian western coast and with the hype of the Russian navy it was a cinch to take and hold....but a cigarette sunk the Moskva and the rest of the navy and marines? Well bugger me they got hammered and kicked off such a small island....hmmm....I'm sensing a theme here....thinking something and being told its true doesn't actually make it true....:)

    Oh and you also better magically fall in thought line with the next crazy **** who takes over after Putin's gone regardless of what that ****er's ideologies might be as well!

    Authoritarian...it ain't great! Just ask North Korea about what happens when the wrong idiot gets in the chair. That's my idea of a bot. One who hasn't any freedom of thought. No autonomy. Their values and views are dictated by whomever ends up in the chair next and they have no control over who that is.

    The pure the definition of a bot. Programmed and not self aware.

    IMO, the ruling American political class envied Putin before his pratfall in Ukraine.

    Who wouldn't want to stay in power indefintely? You think that **** ever wanted to relinquish her gavel in the house?

    Democrats think they have ALLL the answers and that if only they had control indefintely will America progress forward into a more successful society. Republicans wish to slow that **** down because some paths are dead ends or lead to unfavorable results, hence the term "conservatives". Preferring instead to stick with what has worked in the past or present.

    The strength of our system is the ability to control our direction every 4 years and that any one government currently in power could never send us crashing into a disasterous future.

    Ukraine is pumping the life out of the Russian Empire and creating a power vacuum in the East.

    We vote for our leader every six years too. And we choose a strong and worthy leader, not a marasmatist, a clown or an African-American. In Britain, clowns (prime ministers) change every 3 months. If Russia had such a leapfrog of rulers, then Russia would have split into parts long ago and burned down in the fire of a civil war.
