Very good video as always
How do you not have more subs?? These are incredible! I knew of soviet art, but with no depth. This is really shedding some light on a not well known topic.
why not use music from that period as well?
Beautiful, keep going
Socialist realism is the only good leftwing art
what are your sources?
very good up until 4:10 defending Solzhenitsyn known antisemite and peddler of nazi apologist and nazi rhetoric
Haitien Min l'Avant Garde …gade POU WOUE si CE CA QUI TE NAN Plantation an…
Socialist art is far better than today
Jordan Peterson sent me here
Socialist Realist paintings are beautiful! Why are they never shown in documentaries about the Soviet Union? Only the ugly, blocky, propaganda is shown
Can I ask about your sources? I'm considering using information I find here in a paper, but I can only use it if I can find other sources ot back the information up.
Amazing resources and production on this. Cant wait for your next video!
This shitty video is fucking propaganda.
>Stalin killed 80000000 gazillion people
>Praising shitty libtard abstract art
>Praising Trotsky
>Supporting blatant fascist antisemite
This is why you fucking liberals shouldnt be allowed to art.
Hi, do you maybe have a transcript from this video? English is not my first language so it would be really helpful to read along as I find this video very interesting
Why do you have music playing over the entire video? Although the music itself is good, it is distracting and makes listening to the narration difficult. I had to turn off the video midway because of it.
But today's idealism and worship of the rich and glamorous lifestyle only accessible to the very few in power is any different from the "state propaganda" of soviet realism that "pendels between realism and wishful thinking"? "Keeping up with the Kardashians"? Burgeouis undertones all through the video, soviet realism is arguably more advanced and artistic than what western artists like Picasso or other expressionists did during that time in the capitalist west.
Stalin > Trotsky
Interesting documentary but the music is too loud and it should have been soviet music from that period.
disliked as soon as you called the soviet union was totalitarian
