It's a piece of internal Soviet propaganda. Draw your own conclusions.
- jbay808 6y agoDespite the cheery orchestral music, I don't think a video that was classified for 60 years would have been produced as propaganda. I assume it was intended as an internal technical report for high-ranking officials.
- yencabulator 6y agoThey had internal propaganda too. Just like all US military produced World War 2 era documentary and training films describe the conditions as downright cheery.
- sudosysgen 6y agoInternal propaganda is not classified. This was most likely a documentary to inform decision makers.
- jfb 6y agoThere isn't really a distinction to be drawn between "a documentary to inform decision makers" and "propaganda". Everybody in the Soviet Union was lying to everyone else -- they were responding rationally to the incentives they were presented with.
