Soviet Union 1991

Second update

Death does not belong to communism.

This is the slogan of a new round of public opinion war launched by the Soviet Propaganda Department, pointing the blade at American public opinion propaganda. Compared to the U.S. Intelligence Agency, which covered up its traces but was all-pervasive, the Soviet Union, which was more focused on public opinion, chose to openly challenge this expert in the war of public opinion.

As the CIA of the United States’ strategic propaganda, George Cannan, one of the architects of the Cold War, did not mince words about this, but he preferred to use the nicer term “Ministry of Culture” to describe the CIA. He once said, “The United States does not have a Ministry of Culture. It is the responsibility of the Intelligence Bureau to fill this gap."

Unlike the United States, the Soviet Union chose to use deliberate propaganda in its propaganda. He wanted everyone to see that this was the society under Soviet propaganda and the real society they saw. Since 1991, the Soviet Union has compared Moscow in its most difficult period with Moscow in its current prosperity.

"In the winter of 1991, the streets were in depression, and almost all the shops had their doors and windows closed. This was an unfortunate year. Failed economic policies led to a large-scale economic recession in the Soviet Union. People who were short of materials had no choice but to No long lines at bakeries because they can no longer supply enough food for the citizens of Moscow..."

This is the beginning of a documentary. Surkov did not avoid the fact of political turmoil and material shortages in 1991. He truly showed the social scene of the Soviet Union during that period in front of them. The citizens with disappointed faces were standing in the cold wind. The waving red flag seems to indicate that a major disaster is coming.

In previous eras, such a technique would have been tantamount to smearing the image of the Soviet government. However, the state propaganda department personally supervised the production of the film and provided materials, which gave the documentary director the courage to continue filming. Surkov assured him However, we must restore a real Soviet Union, not the false world that the previous propaganda department wanted the people to see.

What follows is the tragic turmoil of the Three Kingdoms in the Sea of ​​Pineapple, the angry crowds, and the suppression by armored vehicles. The director focused on the helplessness of the soldiers. In the clips about protecting innocent people, although it is not clearly pointed out who is right and who is wrong, through the film it can be found that the director gave more clips and highlights to the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who heroically protected the people.

The bloodshed of the Chechen war is often associated with the hostage incident in Beslan, through close-ups of the eyes of those frightened and innocent children. Unintentionally deepening the hatred for that group of religious elements, and then the suppression of the Chechen war. When the death roar of rocket launchers landed on the enemy's heads, everyone would involuntarily cheer and applaud.

In terms of battlefield performance, Surkov also deliberately created some fake shots. For example, the soldiers of the Ninth Company who were about to be surrounded by the enemy pulled out the firing pin of the grenade before dying and died together with the enemy. For example, you can order the Hind helicopter to fire on the position, and eliminate the commander who is under the bullet with the enemy. Sensational techniques can often win more tears, and at the same time, you can subtly achieve the goal you want.

Next is the economic construction in the past few years. Surkov specifically chose the development of three cities, Leningrad, Moscow, and Volgograd, for comparison. From the recession in 1991 to the catch-up in 1995, Yana It only took Yev four years. He achieved a goal that a Go-style fool could not achieve in his lifetime, and allowed the Soviet giant to keep moving forward on the road to recovery.

The documentary was shown in the dark screening room. After the subtitles fell at the end, Surkov finally breathed a sigh of relief. This documentary perfectly recorded the entire process of the Soviet Union from decline to rise, although the gloomy tone in the front was against society. The core value system of ism, but the finishing touch of prosperity in the end made the documentary written and directed by Surkov himself win unanimous praise.

Death Does Not Belong to Communism, a new take on America’s protracted war on propaganda. The Soviet Propaganda Department was more prepared than ever. Because it is useless to say that this promotional video is good on its own, it must be satisfied by the people. If it cannot even capture its own people, then the Soviet Propaganda Department can choose to disband on the spot.

When this documentary was shown in Moscow cinemas. Surkov also made a special trip to the theater where the movie was released. He hoped to hear the voice of the people, not just the rave reviews that he didn't know were true or false.

The lights in the cinema were dim, and everyone was staring intently at the faint light on the screen. This documentary has just been released in the cinema, and it is packed with people. Everyone is curious about the development in the past few years, just like they are curious about the top secret files of the KGB. People want to know how the chairman walked through the past five years. cruel career.

Surkov's visit to the cinema was completely secret, and the cinema was completely unaware of the propaganda minister's arrival. So the people sitting around Surkov are real and not extras hired from somewhere.

Surkov carefully observed everyone's expressions and behavior. Their serious and pious eyes were like believers looking up to the Lord, focusing on everything happening on the screen. In addition to the whispers when the movie first played the depression scene, the crowd fell completely silent later, and their emotions were brought into the world of the movie. Some people sighed softly, and retired veterans quietly wiped their heads when they saw the scene in Chechnya. Tears falling from the corners of my eyes.

The Russian nation is a gifted artist who is good at creating tragedy or stirring up excitement, just like Surkov, who quoted a lot of gentle and low tunes in the film, earning the audience's excited tears. After nearly forty minutes of tragedy, the second half of the film began to gradually enter the plot of the great revival, telling the painful process of the Soviet Union from decline to rise.

Seeing this scene, the gray cardinal sitting in the corner of the cinema finally smiled. He knew that this was a very successful documentary, singing the clarion call of the Soviet Union's public opinion war.

"General Secretary Yanaev, this time, we will definitely win." Surkov smiled and said to himself. He did not continue to watch, but chose to walk out of the cinema, because there were more important tasks waiting for Surkov to complete.

When the subtitles of the movie fell, the audience who were originally thought to leave did not disperse. When the first person came back to his senses from the atmosphere of the movie, he stood up and began to applaud, and the people around him also stood up, paying the highest respect to this documentary.

Thank you for letting us see a great motherland. (To be continued.)
