Stalin's editors had scissors and a narrative to sell. History, unfiltered? Not quite.
A rare documentary that shows how Soviet war propaganda presented the events of the Finnish front in 1941–1944. The main emphasis is on the resolution of the war. The film contains plenty of unique footage of the final stages of the Continuation War.
Editing
Brutal cuts that transform retreat into triumph—propaganda as performance art.
