This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel

WW2 was a horrific time period for the USSR. You are not going to find many movies glorifying the war and the violence within it.
Soviet cinema shied away from that type of jingoism because it felt shallow and meaningless.
The point that Soviet films were focusing on wasn’t that “Soviet soldiers rolling over the Germans in spectacular breathtaking scenes of patriotic fervor”, it was that the war was a horrifying, depressing, and terrible time, and that by the heart of the nation surviving, that was testament enough to the strength of the USSR.
i don’t want to see ‘rolling over germans’ scenes. more military tactics, manoeuvres, deception, spying etc.
the movie waterloo had 15k extras from the soviet army in it.. might be of interest
Not to many of those I’m afraid, at least not off the top of my head.
I would check the Mosfilm YouTube channel and see if anything stands out to you.
