1) If propaganda is your thing you’ll love this movie. Although I succumbtopropaganda in really well done movies like I Am Cuba I wasn’t sucked inmuchby Aerograd. Therefore, all I really liked about this pro "manifestdestiny" piece for the Soviet Union were the beautiful landscape andairscape vignettes. Russia’s Far East sure looks like a place worthy ofconquest so I feel the movie is at least somewhat successful in that. Ifyou’re a historian you may also be interested to see how the interwarSovietpropaganda machine rails against Japan and other Asian countries in1935.
