Lenin in 1918 (Ленин в 1918 году) is a 1939 Soviet biographical historical drama directed by Mikhail Romm, with co-directors Yefim Aron and Isidor Simkov.

Written by Aleksei Kapler and Taisiya Zlatogorova, this film presents a dramatized account of a critical year during the Russian Civil War.

Set in 1918, the young Soviet Republic faces famine, counter-revolutionary conspiracies, and foreign intervention. The narrative follows Vladimir Lenin (Boris Shchukin) as he leads the embattled state from the Kremlin while contending with personal danger. The central drama builds around a conspiracy uncovered by Kremlin Commandant Mateyev (Vasili Vanin), culminating in the assassination attempt on Lenin by Fanny Kaplan (Natalya Efron) at the Mikhelson Factory.

The film also portrays the critical leadership of Iosif Stalin (Mikheil Gelovani) during this period of war and turmoil.

This show defined a big part of my childhood (and the animatronic puppet suits were made by the Jim Henson Company, as the show was one of theirs).

The show in general had a massive amount of biting satire, but this bit in particular is super relevant to me once I rediscovered it.

P.S. Not sure which flair to use. Mods, please feel free to fix as you see fit.

Two Prosecutors, released last year, won the Francois Chalais Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, awarded to features dealing with social and political issues. The film was written and directed by Sergei Loznitsa and is based on a story by Georgy Demidov (1908-87). Demidov was a Soviet physicist, a victim of the purges who spent 14 years in the Stalinist prison camps, most of them in the notorious Kolyma region of Siberia. Later writings of his were based on this experience.

The private footage of Enver Hoxha was particularly interesting. I’m a sucker for archival and this one really delivered. However, the sound design didn’t always work for me and I didn’t think the director was being as clever as he thought he was.

This lovely and sensitive film from Iran, Inside Amir (Daroon-e Amir), takes on a far greater significance in light of the present criminal US-Israeli war, this “terrorist onslaught,” complete with Donald Trump’s Hitlerian threats to destroy Iranian “civilization.”
