When I see this kind of stuff actually working for AES states today… I miss the USSR all the time, but in these moments, I really miss the USSR. God, to be an actual commie Soviet sympathiser, sitting quietly at the family dinner table, while my little brother insists to our dad he’s not a communist, the USSR just makes good entertainment media… and I don’t immediately seem like a filthy pinko for backing him up, if I’m careful… Oh, that’d be amazing.
True, they did make good stuff. It just never really was all that popular in the West, and people assume you’re a commie if you mention it, as a Western person with no obvious non-political cultural ties to the region. There’s no believable “I’m not a communist! Soviet films are just really good!”
